A Singular Case of
Resurrection
By F. A. MITCHEL
The investigators of the Rockefeller
Institute may be very proud of them
selves. Indeed, they have reason to
lie. They huve substituted live parts'
of the human body for dead parts; they
have set heurt substauee beating out
side its proper place la a man's breast
If they keep on they may In time make
a man out of parts of other men. But
If the stories of what Indian fakirs
have done In keeping persons alive In
a comatose condition for many years is
true these Rockefellers or scientific
fellers or wliutever they are have yet
much to learn from an antique and ap
parently undeveloped civilization.
There is a story going the rounds
among the undergraduates of a certain
university which, if It can be substan
tiated, puts the modern scientific Inves
tigator to shame. Arnold Uereau, as
sistant professor of chemistry he has
charge of the laboratory is one of
those phenomena who spring up once
in a century. He is very young, and
It is well known that he was born with
certain mental powers, a certain su
pernatural knowledge of things on
which muny a man has studied for a
lifetime without making any progress
whatever.
Willbur Stockbridge, a member of
the class of '15, so the story goes, one
day went to Professor Uereau with a
yellow bit of puper on which was writ
ten In old English style:
This It the body of William Arbuckle.
private In his majcHly's -th foot. Cap
tured in the patriot lines with maps show
ing our fortltlcutions on the upper part of
Manhattan island. He was condemned
for a spy. An Indian serving with the
same rcBlment-he had Joined it at Singa
poreproposed to General Washington to
put the man to sleep for an Indefinite peri
od Instead of executing him. The general,
who was averse to the execution, consent
ed, and Arbuckle was turned over to the
Indian, who claims that any time after
fifty or even a hundred years life will
till be In the body. But not one man In
many millions will be able to effect
resurrection.-
Young Stockbridge told the professor
that In excavating for building pur
poses on the upper part of Mnnhattan
Island on property owned by his family
a tomb had been discovered containing
the body of a man in British uniform
of a former period. The paper bad
been found In the lead coiHu In which
the body bad been burled.
Gereau mind you, I don't vouch for
Oils-arranged with the student to
bring the find to the laboratory, which
at the time was closed on account of
the spring recess and would therefore
be at the professor's individual dis
posal. No one has attempted to give
the process by which Gereau manipu
lated the remains of Private Arbuckle,
but it Is claimed that be effected a
resurrection. The professor avers that
be worked on lines which are being
followed by modern scientific investi
gators, lie must have bad an Inkling
of the method by which animation
wag suspended by the Indian or be
would not have been able to restore
it by reverse action, which, he says,
he applied, lie gives as a fundamental
principle that the Indian knew bow to
suspend not kill the action of the
heart, and Gereau restored the pulsa
tions, which are the basis of animal
life.
Whether the story is true or false
there Is one part of It that tits in with
modern scientific Investigation. It Is
said that Gtreau found that certain
members of the body had suffered
from the long suspension of tbelr func
tions. The resurrected man showed
signs of decay, and the professor fear
ed that, though be bad remained In an
ordinary condition of health for more
than 130 years, be would die within
few hours after resurrection.
A test was begun of different organs,
and the first tested the kidneys
showed decay. Gereau at once tele
phoned to the College of Physicians
and Surgeons for a pair of sound kid
neys and. removing the ones affected.
Introduced the new ones. Ue supposed
for some time that Arbuckle had died
under the operation, but half a bottle
of Irish whisky brought hlra round.
The liver was next tackled, and hnlf of
it replaced. There were other ports
to be substituted, but t'lose mentioned
were the principal repln enients.
These operations required several
hours, and another hour passed before
Private Arbuckle spoke. Then he
opened bis eyes and cried out In a
voire that seemed to come through dry
leather:
"Corporal of the guard?'
Gereau was delighted. It looked as
If he might ssve his patient, for while
the man had doubtless been dcnnlmat
ed In good htalth bis being brought
bark to consciousness was uot only a
dilllctilt matter, but a dangerous one,
Tliero ere several versions of the rest
f the story. Some say that Arbuckle
was sufficiently restored to remember
and speak of his expected execution.
Others aver that Gereau. finding bis
breathing defective, worked bis arms
vigorously, but in spite of bis efforts
. the man died.
II Is said that at one time Arbuckle
at up and was given a stiff driuk.
Raising the glass be shouted In a born
like voice:
"To his gracious majesty King
Oeorge. God bless him and confound
Ills rebellious subjects!"
8tockbridge and Gereau have both
been asked to make a statement, but
have refused either to affirm or deny
the story. It la suspected that" they
are afraid of coming under the ban of
the law, whlcb might Involve them ta
4 caargt of murder.
Buirpr Fruit
V' : Yield Predicted
The orchards of the valley . are
blooming from one to two weeks
ahead of their blooming season, apri
cots and almonds were In bloom ten
days ago, the cherries and peaches
followed suit and the apples and
pears are now coming In, making
the orchards a fairyland of pink and
white blossoms. '
The average rainfall of the past
winter has furnished an abundance
of snow in the mountains and the
soil is saturated far deeper than for
the past several years. No pests
have as yet made themselves evi
dent and the growing knowledge of
the fruit men and use of advanced
methods of combating any which do
appear assures against any disastrous
results. Most of the trees are heavily
set and the county pathologist pre
dicts the heaviest yield of many!
years.
The only condition to be greatly
feared Is a heavy frost and the gov
ernment has sent a bureau man, J.
Cecil Alter, "to take charge of an ob-
! servatlon system in the valley and
. issue warnings.
The fruit men of the valley are j
embroiled in a controversy over i
whether a better way of combating
frost than by the use of oil cannot,
be found, the antl oil men favoring
wood or other means and claiming
that the oil does more harm than
good. However, no definite conclu
sion has been arrived at and most
of the fruit men will smudge with
oil this year.
The Farmers' and Fruitgrowers'
league in session at Med ford Satur
day, carefully discussed the whole
subject, of frost protection and de
cided that at present oil smudging
was necessary, but that an active
campaign should be started to en
deavor to find a substitute for the
' obnoxious oil. A few of the valley
!orchardists are said to have decided
to use wood this year.

United States District Attorney

A total saving of at least $100,000

much time to the duties for which
the office was created protection
of public property and stoppage of
fraudulent schemes to rob.
"It's a godsent to us " said Mr.
Reams this morning. "Last year
there were 58 cases of liquor to In
dians, each costing directly $1200.
and. counting In time of court and
officers' salaries, $1500 each. That
meant more than one case a week.

presence of his brother Henry and his
advisers, "after long hours of fervent
prayer and Almighty God had sent
him the necessary enlightenment,"
the Kaiser disclosed his entire plan
of operations and, towards the close
of his address dwelt upon the Im
mense Influence he wielded In these
United States of ours In determining
a presidential election. The former
are the Kaiser's exact words, and his
claim Is so arrogantly presumptuous
and wide of the mark that nothing
but insanity of a very pronounced
type can furnish an excuse .for their
utterance. Said the Kaiser, "Even
now I rule supreme In the United
States, where almost one-half of the
population Is either of German birth
or of German descent, and where
nearly 3,000,000 German voters do
my bidding at the presidential elec
