Ring Down the Curtain
AND now F. A. Bat, gtormy petrel of the Footi Creek min
ing district, bag decided he would rather leave the county
than face the charge pending against him in court. Perhaps
the decision has been influenced by big stage manager, L. A.
Banks.
Bargaining by M. 0. Wilkins, Bates' attorney, for dismissal
of the case, would be laughable were it not for underlying facta
and motives, and the expense already .caused the taxpayers of
the county.
Last spring, a charge against Bates was dismissed in the
justice court at Gold Hill upon request of his attorneyg and
relatives, with the understanding that the accused would leave
the county and refrain from creating further turmoil in the
Foots Creek region where his neighbors claimed he 'had accused
them of everything from sluice box robbery to dam dynamiting,
varying his activities by writing a series of threatening letters.
Bates' proclivity for trouble-making gained new impetus
when the publisher of the Daily News heard the "Foot Creek
Miner's Tale of Woe," and apparently with but slight investiga
tion, or substantiation, proceded to make a martyr of Bates, cit
ing his case as a "breakdown of law and order 1", "an attempt
to rob an aged man of his property!", ete., etc., and a political
issue.
The initial blast in the battle for Bates wag quickly followed
by a retraction but the elderly miner and his alleged woes fitted
in so well with political plans that were being initiated, that the
case was revived from time to time editorially. Finally convinc
ing himself that he had thoroly cowed the courts, and that it was
time for the grand climax wherein Banka could pose with strong
arm extended to shield the downtrodden, the publisher heralded
to the world that Bates would return and face an indictment
found by the last grand jury.
Hearing of the case against Bates drew near, likewise elec
tion day. Banks bore down heavily on the martyrdom of the
miner, getting in many a good lick for himself as the champion
of the oppressed, hurling challenge after challenge in the teeth
of "the gang," and bringing out as he had long intended to
do M. O. Wilkins, as independent candidate for district attor
ney. Wilkins was to ride Into office on the wave of popular recog
nition which it was fondly believed would follow the defense
of Bates when the case was tried.
The stage was set" the parts were duly assigned Bates,
the suffering sacrifice in gangdom's den of lions, and Wilkins,
a Daniel I the fearless defender before the publio gaze for
weeks, meantime the News keeping up a constant ballyhoo of
"breakdown of law and order!", "Jackson county will be
shaken to its foundations!" It was, in the parlance of the ring,
a push-over.
But something slipped I
Resentment in the Foots Creek district against the Bank-
sonian ballyhoo boiled over, and within the spaoe of a week
the Daily News and its editor, Bates the miner, and his daughter
were named as co-defendants in libel suits aggregating $200,000,
brought by four men of the district.
And to cap the olimax, aocording to the Daily News' own
statements', it was rumored that Bates had again taken pen in
hand to add to the already large collection of his letters, which
it is feared may be produced in court.
No wonder Mr. Banks would ring down the curtain on his
show and whisk the sawdust martyr from the publio 's eye. The
Daily News publisher has a perfect right to be "regusted."

Little Orphan Annie Recall
rT,HE recall move against Judge Norton, like Topsy of Undo
Tom'i Cabin, never was born, it "just growed up," ao
cording to its chief advocates, who are pardonably bashful
about acknowledging parenthood. However, the long-suffering
citizens of this community have a fairly unanimous and definite
idea that the "little orphan Annie" recall, was fathered by
Earl H. Fehl and surreptitiously dumped on the doorstep of
the Daily News, much against the wishes of the newspaper's
owner.
It is also generally believed that Fehl not only deposited the
waif on the Banksonian sill, but through some pressure, not yet
explained, eventually "made him like it." If this hypothesis
is correct, it reveals an adroit maneuver on the part of Earl in
his effort to rebuke Judge Norton for daring to permit a verdict
against him,
Fehl fathering a child ef the left hand in the nature of a
recall, while Banks takes the "little orphan Annie" to his bosom,
clothes it in such respectability as he is able to muster and with
the hint of a primace of distaste, murmuring ''me too."

WHEN NEURALGIA M AKES A NOISE LIKE v
APPEND ICITIS. '
In a paper read before the Buffalo
Academy of Medicine, Dr. John B.
Carnett, professor of surgery In the
medical school
aald:
"In patient

for chronic ap
p e n d I o I tls I
find the pain
and tenderness

other 3 per cent I find a duode

some similar lesion. I, therefore,
have given up operations for
chronic appendlcltl and cure
the lower rlght-slded pains by
non-operative measures directed
toward the underlying spinal
nerve lesion causing the neural

for a hurry up operation for acute

them that the trouble I neural

It seems that the diagnosis of
"chronic appendicitis" is losing vogue.
It always has seemed rather a gam

A further observation by the aame

Indirectly Its Induced acute neu

Intercostal neuralgia may closely
resemble the pain of gallstone colic.
Dr. Carnett declares that the pain In
the region of the right shoulder
blsde. regarded the world over a In
dicative of gall-bladder Inflamma
tion, ,1a always due to lntercoatal
neuralgia In hla experience. He de
clares that too many gall bladders
are being unnecessarily removed In
the futile expectation of curing pain
and tenderness which Is actually due
to neuralgia In the abdominal wall.
Right here I dare auggest that a
physician whose education, training
and practice are not limited to the
tenet of a single "system" or "school"
Is better qualified to deal with such
conditions than Is tha narrow little
fellow who purport to practice only
this or that "pathy." Beware of the
chap who accept the designation of
a "pathlst" of any kind.
Intercostal neuralgia has led to
many unnecessary kidney operations,
and to countless operations on women
who too readily believe the pain origi
nates in tubes or ovaries.
In the hand of charlatans who
run Irrigation plant or colon filling
stations a great many gullible vlctlmc
of lntercoatal neuralgia are subjected
to endless and vicious "treatment" for
a colitis which doea not exist, further
than the mechanical Irritation set up
by the vicious "treatment." This Is
one of the new self-perpetuating lines
of business in which the victims seem
to like being humbugged and to re

When ripened grain 1 In the bin.
And thistle down Is on the spin;

And crisp and dusty grows the moss:

When mountain streams have dwin

When brown are turning forest cones.
And reptiles slumber on the stones;
When Tokay grapes begin to cure.
And black and huckleberries lure:
When trout disdain your tempting fly,

When lark and robin cease their song,
And grouse and partridge part with
throng;
When quail and pheasant cease to
pair.
Woodpeckers listless cleave the air;
When squirrels chatter as they forage,
And bees accumulate their storage;
When butterflies begin to die,
I know that summer's slipping by.
When picnic lure begins to pall,
And swimming holes no lqnger call;
When autos get to look forlorn,
Cm bright and early Sunday morn;
When folks loll lazy on the lawn,
And there's less sctivlty at dawn;
When people from the lawnmowers
shy,
I know that summer's slipping by.
When mother seals the last Jar lid.
And her preserves are stored and hid;
When dad surveys the woodpile o'er,
And wonders If enough's In. store;
When kids begin to talk of school,
And sit repining on a stool.
And heave a sad and mournful sigh,
i xnow that summer slipping by.
When I begin to lose my pep,
And slow and languid grows my step;
When rain I d woo a morning nop.
And seemingly don't care a rap
Whether I meander through
The woods with their enchanting
view.
No need for almanac, for I
Well know that summer's slipping by,
