Autopsy Reveals Dry Agents Skull
Fractured-Shot While

Completely upsetting early theories
rs TO the manner in which Charles
(DiXie) Blinn, state prohibition OIL
Ger, was slain Monday night, Sheriff
Edward Lucas, Of Stcubenville. last
night declared that several persoLS
had been found who heard two shots
fired in the general direction 70 Marsh
alley. where Dlinn's body was dtscoV'
cred. shortly after 1880.
Cncovering this evidence dlssi'
pates the belief that he was lured
into a roominS house and shot. or
killed as he sat in an automobile In
front OF Lulu Longs home, Lucas
said.
And the autopsy held Yesterday re-
vcaled that the officer had been struck
on the head apparently with the butt
of a revolver and from the course ot
the two bullets that entered his head
and back DR.. G. B. Perwilleger. who
made the examination. has gone on
record as saying that the bullets
MERGED his body as he was lying on
the ground.
Lucas thus reasons that Blinn was
led around the city by an imported
g?ncs,er until he became drunk: then
lurcd to tho Marsh alley and killed
after he had been Knocked uncon'
scious.
Police Chief Blaine Carter, OF Steu'

that "the service of the lightkeeper
is one of great isolation for them
selves and for their families. and in
many instances of most hazardous
character. 1t calls for the highest de-
gree of faithfulness and attention,
and not only involves the giving Of
warnings by lights and other aids to
navigation, but oftentimes involves
the saving of lives and wrecks Of
ships"
The records Of the service are full
Of heroic incidents-and, it should be
emphasized that the employees. do not
receive any additional compensation
for this, which makes the risks and
hardships voluntarily taken the more
comm ndable. Such instances aver
age $50 to 200 a year. Here are a
few: .--
In. 1885 a gold medal was awarded
by the government to the keeper Of
Cape Elizabeth light "for signal hero
ism involving great peril to his life"
In a severe gale, with heavy snow
and temperature 10 degrees below
zero, this keeper got two men ashore
who were nearly frozen in the rigging
Of a schooner stranded near the cape.
In October, 1892, the keeper Of Pilot
Island lighthouse, between Lake Mich
igan and Green bay. rescued the en-
tire crews Of two schooners which were
driven on the island by gales. The
keeper in the dark and storm waded
out from the island, picking his way
through the surf and along ledge Of
rock which came nearly to the sur
face close to the wrecks. He made
himself heard. above the storm and
called to the men to jump. They
Ieaped. one by one, into the, water.

and the keeper seized them as they
came to the surface and pulled them
onto the ledge. He carried a woman
and then an aged man ashore, with
a heavy sea running and difficulty in
maintaining footing.
In 1914 the keeper of Whitef1sh
Point lighthouse, with the aid of two
fishermen, rescued eleven men from
launch which had capsized in, Lake
Superior. s
: In February, 1913, the keeper of st.
Helena light, in the Straits of Macki-
nae. saved the lives of two men who
were lost on the ice in blizzard
while attempting to cross the straits.
He went out with a handsled and
brought In the exhausted men.
In 1915 the tender Columbine, in the
Hawaiian Islands. rescued British
bark four times her size after: fifty
six hours of continuous work Moth
Ing short Of va1or, herpism and deter

crew Of the Columbine to save the
imperiled vessel. This action received
the commentator of the President.
During the Charleston hurricane in
July, 1915, the tender Cypress did
courageous work In removing vessels
and persons from positions Of peril
and, finally in rescuing twenty-five
persons from a wrecked collier under
conditions requiring the highest cour-
age and seamanship.

BUT LOOK WHOSE OK WAS
GORED.

Some years ago, shudder spread
over the continent at a proposition,
for the relief of agriculture, that
government provide storage for grain
crops until a glutted market could
be relieved and prices resumed nor
mality. The thing was not to be
thought of. Financial circles led
the hue and cry against such pater-
nalism, and the matter was dropped.
The farmer, since as before, has
been left to the mercy of the elevator
interests, with what result he can
tell you.
The recent change in the director
ship of the United States mint re-
quired an inventory, which shows
that Uncle Sam is providing storage
for about three billions of dollars in
gold owned by private interests, for
which it furnishes paper money
much more convenient to use. This
gold, in coin and bullion, aggregates
