FOUR' BITS MAY SAVE KIDS' IDEA OF SANTA CLAUS And could you spare four bits tor a kid like this? Her name Is Dorothy. It really is. It might be any name. Thero are so many thousands of Dorothys. But the News betievee The News hopes Its readers will see that not so many of them are forgotten at Christmas time. Dorothy, who 'Is a very real per son, is a little shavor with brown eyes and a. vacant spot In her oral cavity whore a first tooth has been dislodged. Like the other little girls, Dorothy Is not thinking only of herself. Doroothy, let It be konwn, was responsible for the uneven, printed, hieroglyphics which, when decipher ed, made It plain that she has been thinking of others. Formality was a missing feature in her "My Dear Ben" letter to the publisher of The News. No reporters for Dorothy. She wrote. In a straightforward, manner, or some manner which nearly approximated that, to the editor of The News. And The News, like its readers, will not forget tho Dorothys who believo. "I am so happy I am to see Santa Claus tomorrow." she wrote. "I will like anything he sends me. 1 hope he won't forget you. I will thank you for telling "him about one. I nave a nine duu uis now . Incoherent, perhaps. But sin cere. And from one of the thou sands of Dorothys who believe. The News has little more to say. On behalf of a bunch of kids Tho News asks you to produce 60 cents on the four-bit day which, soon, is to be staged. Mysterious circumstances sur rounding the serious injury of Frank Pecholt, proprietor of the Country club, were yesterday brought to an official focus by Governor Pierce. In telegrams to state officers here the governor advised against their giving out additional information. A special session of the grand jury to probe the matter was promised. In the meantime Pecholt, the vic tim, -either of punishment adminis tered at the hands of a state pro hibition officer, or of an auto acci dent at' the moment of his appre hension, lay at the point of death in the Klamath Valley hospital.- Tho grave condition of Pecholt is the result of inhuman treatment at the hands of city officials, according to his wife. She charges that her husband, after having lain In jail all night with a fractured skull, without tho services of a competent physician, was turned ont the next day, 8nd arrived home babbling In coherently with fever. Put In Jail - Mrs. Pecholt claims that her hus band .was not given proper medical care and that he was then lodged in jail, because, she believes, he was known as a political enemy of the city administration. ,t the time of Pecholt's arrest by Ibltlon" Officers" Cole-and Mo- Mills, he had on his person $168. SO. He was released from jail on Sun day, November 29, at which time $20 of this amount was withheld, presumably as bail. "They threw me Into jail and fined me $20," moaned Pecholt when he arrived home on foot, ac cording to Mrs. Pecholt. After that she could get nothing more out ot him. He talked, she says, of having taken a couple of baths that morn ing. His eyes were like pin-points. Mrs. Pecholt had been ill the night before . and had retired early. She did not know her husband had not been home, and had not aeen him since three o'clock on the day before Sends for Doctor Mrs. Pecholt is a trained nurse. Immediately on observing her hus band's condition she sent tor Dr. J. O. Patterson. She assisted Dr. Pat terson in removing the bandage, which, she says, was remarked by Dr. Patterson, as having been clum sily applied. - The wound at the back of his head had not been dressed in a proper surgical1 manner, Mrs. Pecholt insisted. ' The whole Btory goes back to the point where Officers Cole and Mc Mtlls stopped their car on Spring street, after having nearly hit a man who ' poved to be Pecholt. Pecholt was reeling as would a drunken man, according to McMHIb, who was driving the car. Another ' man named Boyd was In the car, a Flint, with Colo and McMllls.
