Seventy Three Years A Doctor, He's So;
Ohio Veteran Likes Today's Ways Best

tGy Associated Press)


BETHEL, Ohio, August T.
Being a doctor today is not SO
hard as it was IS years ago. says
DR.. w. E. Thompson, 98-year-oId
physician.
And he ought to know. He's
been practicing 70 years and ex-
cept for the time of his student
days at Cincinnati College of
Medicine, he has spent all his life
here.
When he began practicing medi-
cine IS years ago, he rode horse
back to see his patients. and then
after about IL years the roads
became good enough for him to
use horse and carriage. Fifteen
years ago he switched to an auto
mobile. A chauffeur drives him
from patients door to patients
door now.
Used To Swim Streams
Many times | had to swim my
horse across the streams and hold
my kit of medicines high to reach
my patients" he says.
when the streams were 100
high, would have to learn the
symptoms from a member of the
patients family standing on the
other bank. and then I would take
my medicines, tie them to a rock
and throw them across the
stream"
Made His Own Instruments
In those days DR.. Thompson
was surgeon as well as physi-
clan, and many of his instruments
had to be made by himself, be-
cause it took less time to make
them than it did to go to Cincin-
natl, the nearest place where he
could buy them.
Although liking the old days. he
has a preference for modern life.
Life was too hard in those days"
he says. To-day the practice of
medicine not only is more interest
ing, but is not so hard on the doc
tors. When | came out of college
] had to be prepared to take care
of anything flsab same UP. And s
very ill person had to be treated
on the spot"
DIR. Thompson is one of II doc
tors in his family, and the last one
living.

TRUCE TO SETTLE. STRIKE
Thousands Of Operators
Refuse To Return To

Aug. 7.-Snubbing a truce
effected by President Roose-
welt, thousands of miners in
the vast coal fields of south.

fused to go back to work to-

Here and there mines were

company which operates
dozens of mines in Fayette
county, heart of the area
which has been strike-bound
for two weeks, postponed
the reopening of ten mines
until tomorrow at the re-
quest of Governor Pinchot.
The executive said he
feared trouble, if resumption
was attempted today. Strik-
ers who say they want more
time to study terms of the
agreement had a picket
army In the field, but most
picket lines dwindled, after
no resumption was at
tempted.
Miners say they will have
several thousand pickets on
the lines, if the Frick COM
pany tries to reopen work
ings tomorrow.
A battalion of national
guardsmen was sent into the
area last week by the COVER
nor and state police were
preparing for any even
tuality.
Renewed outbreaks of dis
order, which last week re-
suited in the death of one
man and wounding of more
than a score, are feared.

Apparently accustomed to the crowds

the scant herbage most of the time and
shows no signs of hunger or thirst. Oc-
casionally he is frightened by pebble
tossed when park authorities are not
looking.
The officials still have a few plans
they expect to try out. They were
considering trapping him with a net or
lassoing him or possibly lowering a
fence along the ledge to form a corral.
Another suggestion that has been ad-
vanced is to administer potion OF
some sort by putting it in water which
is lowered to the animal. The theory is
that the deer would be put to sleep by
the drug and removed from the ledge
while helpless.
Meanwhile, attendance at the park
continued to advance as the story
spread. Park officials have vetoed the
suggestion that the park be closed.

DREDGING PROBED
IN WRECK INQUEST
Coroner Seeks to Learn it
Operation Could Have
Weakened Bridge.

The coroner's inquest into the death
of two trainmen, killed when the Cres-
cent Limited was wrecked near Kenil-
worth last Thursday, was opened at
noon today with testimony on the ques-
tion of whether dredging could have
washed earth away from the piers of
the bridge where the wreck occurred.
The two men killed were the engi-
neer, A. H. Bryde, PIT E street south
east. and the fireman, ]. H. Faye, Perry
vile, Md Thirteen other persons were
injured when the train was derailed
as the bridge collapsed, weakened by
heavy rains.
Under questioning by Acting Coroner
A. Magruder Macdonald, Ezekial j.
Merrick, War Department engineer in
charge of the dredging operation In
the Anacostia River. testified that dur
ing March last year basin was
dredged within so feet of the lower
piers of the railroad bridge. This basin
was 7 feet deep, he said, and by jan
uary of this year silt washed down by
the stream had raised its bottom to
an average depth of 3 feet. This ac-
counted for a deposit of feet OF earth
where the dredging had been done.
Rail officials Testify.
Railroad officials, following Merrick
on the witness stand. testified that the
train probably was not travelling at more
than 40 miles an hour when it crossed
the bridge.
Thomas L. Grady, Baltimore, division
trainmaster. told the jury the train
was short of water and Engineer Bryde
probably was proceeding slowly in order
to conserve his remaining supply. He
said the express was 38 minutes late
when it left Baltimore and at 1,andover
