Shock Kills Horse
After Dip in Well
Dallas A peculiar accident
Sunday morning resulted tn the
death of a valuable saddle colt
on the Allen Dunn farm at Polk
Station.
Dunn .discovered the animal
about 8 a. m. in the well in the
barnyard. It had apparently
been stampeded during the
night and one board capping the
well had broken, allowing the
20 months old colt to fall
through. ,
Water was within a few feet
of the top of the well and the
colt was still alive and struggling
when Mr. Dunn found it. He
called neighbor N. John Hansen,
county extension agent, who
held on to the colt's halter to
keep its head above water while
he rigged his tractor to pull the
animal out.
The colt died a few minutes
after being extricated from the
well, apparently from exposure
to the cold and excitement. It
was a quarter horse and was
almost old enough to break.
It showed no visible injury.

THROAT WOUND 'SUPERFICIAL'
Is Judy Garland Washed Up
At 29? Hollywood Wonders
By JACK QUIGG
Hollywood, June 21 WV-Little girl, what now?
That was the Question on Hollywood's lips today as it recovered
from shocking news that Judy Garland, a child star who lost
none of her lustre with maturity, slashed her throat in a fit
of despair over her career.
Fishmonger Refugee Swears
Vengeance for Brother's Death
New York, June 21 (U.R) German refugee Benjamin Krieger,
42, swore vengeance today in his Brooklyn fish shop against
the murderer of his brother.
Krieger, who came to the United States nine months ago after
years in nazi concentration camps, saw a stranger pause outside
his store yesterday. -
The face of the man, Meyer
Mittelman, 33, appeared familiar.
"Were you in Auschwitz, Da
chau, Muldorf?" the burly fish
monger den.anded, listing the
three camps where he was im
prisoned during the war.
"Yes," answered -Mittelman,
who runs a kosher chicken
slaughter market on Long Island.
I was at Muldorf."
"Then you killed my brother,"
Krieger shouted. "You beat me
that day too." He began to pum
mel Mittelman who finally broke
away and ran two blocks to a
bookstore.
Krieger cornered him there,
and about 100 neighborhood
friends, many of them former
concentration camp victims, ga
thered around, muttering threats
at the man cowering behind the
book store door.
Police arrived before any phy
sical harm was done, and Mit
telman refused to press assault
charges. "Let's forget the whole
business, he said. He denied he
was the trusty who killed
Krieger's older brother with an
iron pot and gashed Krieger on
the head with the same weapon.
But Krieger, pointing to the
concentration camp n u m e r a Is
89936" tattooed on his left fore
arm, said he wouldn't forget. He
said he would tell his story to
the district attorney and federal
immigation officers.
Sleeper Drops to Death
Hong Kong, June 21 ) Lan
Yun-Jen, 20, tried to beat the
tropical heat last night by sleep
ing on a second story veranda.
Turning in his sleep, he dropped
20 feet to his death in the street.
Even helicopters contribute to
the makeup of New York City's
commuting system.
Miss Garland's studio, MGM,
suspended her Saturday and re
moved her from the cast ot her
latest picture after she failed to
show up for rehearsal wun
Fred Astaire.
4- C
Monday night, during a con
ference about her problems with
her husband and advisers, she
ran into her bathroom and slash
ed her throat with a broken
glass. Her doctor said the wound
is superficial.
Some say this means the star.
who has had marital and health
troubles recently, too, is washed
up at 29.
Others contend mom would
never cut adrift an actress whose
recent films have grossed about
$5,000,000 each.
One thing is certain: The
"little girl with the big voice'
has almost everybody's sympa
thy.
It's no secret that her health
has suffered in recent years.
Since May, 1949, she has been
receiving treatment for a ner
vous condition. In addition, she
has had to diet to combat a
tendency toward plumpness.
Judy has frequently said she
wants to cotninue her career.
Her studio considers her one of
its biggest attractions. Yet it
has replaced her in three films
in two years because she "caused
us embarrassment, delay, incon
venience and loss of morale
among co-workers." One spokes
man said she added as much as
20 per cent to the cost of
film.
Just what, exactly, is the trou
ble has been the subject of
speculation and rumor. This
much is fact:
The first indication that she
and MGM were having trouble
was her removal from the cast
of "Barkleys of Broadway" in
1948 because she was "physical
ly unable to play the role.'
In March, 1949, Judy an
nounced she and her second hus
band, Vincente Minelli, director
of some ot her best films, were
separating. They are now recon
ciled. In May, after a month of cost
ly shooting on "Annie Get Your
Gun," she was dropped for "not
reporting to work." MGM sent
her to Boston for a "long rest"
ana financed medical treatments.
Two months later Judy was
back, 15 pounds heavier and ask
ing for work.
She rested six months, made
'Summer Stock," which is get
ting good reviews, but was sus
pended again Saturday for "con
tinually delaying" rehearsals for
Royal Wedding."
Her manager, Carlton Alsop,
was quoted as saying after the
cutting: "It's a shame she was
called to work so soon. Judy
is broke. In Mary Pickford's
day you wound up owning Unit
ed Artists. But in Judy Gar
land's day, with all the taxes,
you wind up with nothing, de
spite a big salary."
Miss Garland s contract is still
in force and studio executives
said they expect she will make
more films under it Probably,
it will be up to Judy whether
or not she does.
She is a proven trouper from
a showbusiness family. In vaude
ville at three, she sang her way
Into a movie contract at 12 and
was a star two years later. She
is still on top. And Judy's
friends are betting she'll fight
to stay there.
