Prominent physicians are amazed at the revelations made by B. H. Warren, Dairy and Food Commissioner, who says that some brands of whiskey con- tain 75 per cent. wood alcohol. They confirm the statement that this liquid is such a poison as to impair vision and render persons totally blind after its use, and often proves fatal. Frequent cases of poisoning from wood alcohol have been reported at hospitals, but the majority of these come from dye and cleaning establish- ments, cabinet and paint shops, where the article is liberally used. Report also has been made of men addicted to the use of liquor, drinking wood alcohol and temporarily losing their sight. The dangers thus pre- sented emphasize and justify the alarm given by Commissioner Warren upon his discovery that whiskies are being adulterated with this poison and serv- ed to patrons who are ignorant of the risk tl:3y run. Dr. L. Webster Fox, an eye specialist and opthalmologist at the Medico- Chirurgical College, says the Philadel- phia North American, was amazed at the discovery. He said: “Each year at our hospital there are about 3,000 cases of eye affection, and of these about thirty are blindness due to alcohol and tobacco. Usually anex- tended boiling out process in Turkish baths rids the system of the poison and sight is restored. ~ “Wood alcohol is a most dangerous poison, and many. cases of blindness are due to its use. If the dilution of whiskey with wood alcohol is generally practiced there is eause for alarm.” ~ Dr. George D. DeSchweinitz, an in- structor at the University of Pennsyl- vania, is an oculist who views with ex- ceeding alarm the sale of whiskey adulterated with wood alcohol. He said: “I never heard of such a practice. Some time ago suits were brought in Baltimore, where Jamaica ginger waa adulterated with wood alcohol and »old to the oystermen and fishermen, but such.instances were rare. Even the moderate drinker, who takes his occa- sional glass, will run a terrible risk if this practice continues. The effect of the poison is dreadful.” ge Sequel to the Baker Estate Matter. Frank Burch, a lawyes, has been in- dicted by the Federal grand jury at Ta- coma, Washington, charged, on fifteen counts, with using the mails to defraud. Burch’s arrest came as a result of his connection with the famous “Colonel Baker estate,” alleged to be worth $40, 000,000, and composed of land situated in the heart of Philadelphia. Two families, the Bakers and Hon- eywells, numbering several hundred, and scattered all over the country, are the claimants of this mysterious for- tune. | Burch ‘was first retained by the Hon- eywell family, of Centralia, Wash., but it is alleged, soon attempted to increase the number of his clients by sending out circular letters to all branches of the Baker and Honeywell families, asking each person for a power of at- tornoy and a retainer of $25. To all inquiries for particulars Burch replied that he would not trust his evi- dence to the mails. Suspicions of his good faith soon arose, and his arrest followed. taf pref mses All kinds of Legal and ‘Commereial j mert re Blanks, Jt udgment Notes, ete., for sale | at THE STAR office. tf ANIINDIAN SCOUTS BRAVERY ' The recent visit of Lieut.-Gen. Miles to Oklahoma and his retirement frem the command of the Usited States Army brings into promimence again that old army scout, whe annually visits Gen. Miles in Washington, Amos Chapman, of whem Miles says: “Chapman performed one of the brav- est deeds in the annals of the army.” Amos Chapman now lives out im Weods County, in western Oklahoma, where, when the Cherokee strip was opened to settlement, he teok a claim mear Cettoawood Jake. He fre quently appears in Alva and other larger west side towns om busl- ness with the Government land offices, but as a rule he sticks close to his claim, except during the time of his sojourn with his old commander in Washington, Chapman is ome of that fast dis- appearing type of men who lived in the Western country when it was not safe to venture far from the scattered army posts. He is one of the most celebrated Indian scouts now living in the Southwest, coming to Okla- homa first in 1868, when Gen. Custer was operating against the Cheyennes, Arapahoes, Commanches and Kiowas. Prior to that time Chapman was in the employ of the Government as courier and scout at Forts Harker, Larned and Dedge in Kansas. At Fort Supply, Oklahoma, Chapman was chief of scouts for years, his employ- ment ending when the fort was aband- oned by the Government a few years ago. He is chiefly noted for the fight, in which he was a main feature, with the Cheyennes and Arapahoes at a point near the Antelope hills along the western Oklahoma-Texias border, in which battle he lost a leg. This occurred in 1874, when Gen. Miles was conducting a punitive campaign against these Indians. Gen. Miles, with the main force, was near what was then known as Canon Blanco, and the rations running short, Chapman and four soldiers were sent back toward Fort Supply to in- tercept the supply train and guide it to the command. On the morning of the second day after leaving Gen. Miles’s command the party of five was attacked at daylight just north of the Antelope hills by a large body of mounted Indians, Every horse be- longing to the soldiers was killed at the first fire, and one of the soldiers, William Dixon, was wounded in both shoulders. An attempt by the party to reach the crest of a hill was inter- cepted by the Indians, who rode be- tween the soldiers and the hills, but another attempt, this time to reach a buffalo wallow, was successful, all but Dixon reaching it in safety. A num- ber of Indians were killed and the remainder withdrew out of rifle range. All the packs were lost with the horses, but a German soldier with the party had a hunting knife, and with this he threw up breasworks for the protection of the men. Chapman turn- ed his attention to the rescue of Dix- on, whose wounds prevented him from reaching the wallow. He reach- ed Dixon safely, and, with the wounded man on his back, started again for the wallow. Several times he allowed his burden to slide to the ground in order to shoot at the In- dians, who would come in close range and fire at the two men. When with- in a quarter of a mile of the wallow, however, Chapman was struck by a bullet on the shinbone of the right leg and the bome shattered, and im- mediately another struck him on the right ankle. Still, Chapman did not give up, but clutching the soldier’s blouse in one hand, he continued to drag Dixon until he reached the wal- low, Chapman crawling ahead and stopping at intervals to fire at the In- dians, who would approach teo close for safety. In the shallow hole scooped out by the German the wounded were placed. Chapman, i addition to his wounds, had two bul- let holes through his hat aad three through his coat. Pixon died early the next morning, and for five days the four men held off a band of Indians estimated at 130 strong. At any time a charge by the Indians would have emded the fight, but they knew that in attempting it some of them would be killed. Dur- ing all these five days the men were without food and for two days with- out water, but on the third day a good rain fell, thus relieving their sufferings so far as thirst was con- cerned. All four were wounded dur- ing the fight. On the afternoon of the fifth day the soldiers saw the In- dians hurriedly ride together and scamper swiftly away, and within a few minutes four troops of cavalry, commanded by Major Price, came ine to sight. A brief skirmish with the Indians followed, resulting in victory, for the troops and the rescue of Chap- man and his companions, Dixon was buried in the buffalo wallow where the fight had been so bitter. When rescued, Chapman and his men had but one rifle cartridge left, together with several rounds of revolver am- munition, and Major Price had no food for them excepting mule meat. With Chapman and the other wounded men on horseback, the march was resum- ed, and within four days more the supply train was located and guided to Miles’s headquarters. Twenty days later, by order of Gen. Miles, Chapman was removed to Fort Supply, where his right leg was am- putated. He remained in the hospital just six days, and within a month was again in the saddle. It was of the fight in the buffalo wallow and the rescue of the wounded man by Chap- man that Gen. Miles made the state- ferred to above, that ‘“Chap- man had performed one of the hea est deeds in the annals of the army.” FARMS FOR SALE! Two first class Farms in Elk Lick Township.
