The right of a doctor to let a pa tient die rather than live In uu remedlable pain has been tacitly upheld by a coroner's Jury here. The coroner, in summation, de clared that neither he nor the jury should commend or censure Dr. A. T.

The jury urpugnt in a verdict that Robinson died from medicine taken to re-. lieve pain and caused him to sleep, Dr. Simpson was'treatlng Robin son for heart disease. On the day that RobinBon died he found that Robinson ban taken an ovordoso of medicine. In view of the great pain Robinson - bad suffered in tile past. Dr. Bimpson decided to make no attempt to counteract the pois onous effects of the medicine. "Some one has expressed the opinion that no one Is good enough to say that another should die,'' Dr. Simpson declared after the ver dict. , ,..

SIILUFY, THB 8TORV THUS FAR When Jeff Harrison, gambler, Is killed in a poker game in Caldwell, Kas., his 13-year-old son, Tony, is taken to the Bar K ranch In the Indian territory by Joe Craig. There Tony is welcomed by Ti tus Moore, owner of the Bar K brand, and bis little daughter, Rita. Another who has befriended Tnnv la Rnrrlnn W. I.lllie. who lat-! er becomes known as Pawnee Bill! when he teaches BChool at the In- dian reservation in Pawnee. In the months that follow, re-1 ports come to the Bar K of the activities pt the now notorious 1 Benton gang, Tom Benton being the murder of Jeff Harrison. CHAPTER XVIII On a day late In September five men rode up the main street of Wellington and nailed in front oi a little bank. Throe of them dis mounted; two of these walked In side the bank and the third re mained outside and leaned care lessly against the building. Two men were 'loafing on the porch of the general store next to j Flfteen minutes later they thun the bank, and to these the one dered t tll0 uille-StctUer flour who slouched so carelessly ad-!,,,, .. . ,, lirn,,, , .. dressed in a low-voiced remark. I Just sit tlie way you are aud keep on talking like notbtug's go ing on." The Idlers Icoked up in surprise. It was a hot day and they bad found It pleasant to sit In the shade and chut about the crops. They ' blinked in puzzled fashion at the ' dark-skinned, thin-faced man who had spoken aud then, their eyes encountering the two mounted men across the street, swift .comprehension dawued In their faces and they sat as If stun ned. "It won't be more than two or three minutes," the tbln-faced man continued; "aud then, you can go home and tell your kids you saw a bank robbery." He patted the gun at his hip. "The Hint one unit tries to get up or raise his voice'll git something that's bound not to do him any good." , The men on the porch of the gen eral store turned a shade or two paler and mado heroic efforts to continue their conversation, just as If nothing out of the ordinary were happening. The thln.faced one smiled contempuously and winked at hla companions with the Horses. inside the bank, a big, bearded man produced a gun and walking directly to the'-cashier, demanded that he open the safe and hand out all the money. "My partner here," he said, In dicating his companion, "has a bag in one band and a six-shooter In the other. When all the money's corralled you kin stick It in the bag. We don't care much for the silver; give us all your bills." Three minutes later, the pair backed toward the door and the bearded man delivered a parting admonition, "Don't anybody move BOOTS AND HER BUDDIES BE SUR AM GLEAM -XW HOUSE OOD, OPA PEVE'S CPMW MONDAY t , FRECKLES AND HIS FRIENDS ' - The Rescue! 1 :.

Then they calmly stepped Into the street, their retreat covered by the mau who had remained just outside. He allowed them to mouut their horses before he sprang to his own saddle. At that moment the proprietor of the general store 'attracted by the presence of some thing unusual outside, stepped to the door with a rifle In bis hands. Beiore ne coum raise it 10 nis shoulder or Jump back from the doorway, tue inin-iaceu man nau fired. The storekeeper fell for- warn with a bullet through his neart aua my iwncniug anu quiv ering on the floor of the porch at the feet of the two farmers. "Now then," cried the one who had shot him, "you two sit where you are or you'll git tho same dose." "Why in hell do you talk so much?" the bearded mun demand ed curtly. "Come on; you're wast ing lime. He dug vicious spurs in to his horse and was off, the oth rs at his heels. URB 'mil. saw thorn uass and was Instantly suspicious; so much so that ho ran for his revolver and emptied it in a futile stream of lead at the flying figures. "Out of range!" he ' exclaimed disgustedly. "Shouldn't have left my gun so far away." He sum moned his father aud the two of them rode Into Wellington. The outraged citizenry pursued the bank robbers for hours, but re turned late that night empty-handed; and word went out to Wichita, Caldwell, Arkansas City, Hunue well and other towns to be on the lookout for tbe Benton gang. Joe Craig, when he heard of it cursed fluently. A month lator a Rock Island train was hold up and Beveral thousand dollars taken from tho expresB car. This band, too, was led by a bearded mun. A letter from Pawnee Bill, post marked Pawnee, Informed Craig that the notoriety of the Benton gang had spread to that part of tho country and that sovoral of Us members had been seen In tho vicinity of Pawnee. "At least, folks scorn to think they belonged to the Benton gang. It's pretty generally thought that they have a hide-town down in this part of the country." Concerning himself, Pawnee Bill wrote that the cattle deal hnd been completed. "Except for the sale. My stock Is up near Wellington tor tho wipter. Instead of buying Texas cattle I bought down in tho Chlcksaw Nation. Seven of us started out for Texas, and down near Okmulgee we ran into a bunch of Creek Indians. They were on the warpath, although I didn't know it. They halted when they saw us and looked us over , with- out. saying' a word, and I, like a - f JVJSY,VT FO.S BOOT YO'O THIMK T TO ME, WOMEY - fool tried to awap a mule for on of their horses, - t "They wouldn't answer" me, but sat there for a few minutes more aud then rode off. When we reach ed Okmulgee," deputies were being sworn In to go out. and get the Creeks. I guess 1 was pretty close to losing my scalp. "About the cattle. Down near the Texas border we ran iuto a cowpuncher named Billy Dunlap. He'd been 'down in Texas on the same business we were on and he said that talk about a drought In Texas was a lie. He Insisted Uiat better cattle could be bought In Oklahoma, and more reasonably. The Kansas farmers with me i-wouldn't beltve him and Insisted on going ahead, but 1 went with Dun- lap. I bought a hundred head from Tandy Walker, a Chickasaw Indian who used to be an officor in tho Confederate army. Duulap bought his at the same time and we drove them up the Chlshplm Trail to Kansas. I paid six dol lars a head and expect to make a nice profit. Meanwhile, though, I've got to make some money while my cattle fulton, so I'm back In Pawnee for a while as interpre ter. "I might decide to go In the show buslnoss with Buffalo Bill. I guess I didn't tell you about It, but while I was here before,. I room ed for awhile with a young tol- Ho's the son of the Burgess who spent so many yoars with the Pawnees in Nebraska and finally brought them down here. Charlie's work - ing for Buflalo Bill, and he was down here to see if ho could got hold of half a dozen Pawnees for Cody to put on in a Wild West lw. v . "Major Bowman wouldn't let blm take any Indians without pormla- Hlon from Washington, and no 'couldn't get ponnlsBion. It seems that Charlie notified Buffalo Bill that there was a young man down here with long hair, who could make up like an Indian and do their dances and who seemed to be a great friend of 'the Pawnees. So Buffalo BUI writes uio to bring uloug somo Indians and join him. I found the lottor hero In my old rooming house. It had been laying around for two or throe months.' i wrote to Cody, and he suj-b It's too Into to do anything this year, but he wants me to line up some Indians and go with , hhn next spring, f I'm not aiming to got per mission from thogovorumont, I guess I'll take the risk. "Why don t you and Tony saddle up some day and come down to pay me a visit? I'm thinking it would be a groat thing for tho boy to spend a little time down here among the Indians. You know now kids are. , Anyway, I'm right fond of Tony and I'd sure try to Bhow him a nice time." ' . Crnlg showed the lottor to Tony Harrison, and the boy expressed a keen desire to pay Pawnoe Bill a visit. - i . - "Dunno," said Craig, scratching his hoad. "Bettor seo what the col onel says." - . "Of course," declared , Titus Moore, and smiled. "Two yoars aud tnore of ranch life mUBt be sort-of You Never SHO OO SEEM WAX -AU. 0s" M19TAW VtvE COfUN HOME ! VOVr AAA.
