Those who have heard of “Dr.” Till, known as “Plaster John,” of Almena, Wis., will be interested to learn that the “Doctor” has gotten into trouble, down in his.home state of Wisconsin, and that he has been called into the courts because of disastrous results obtained from his ‘famous” (?) remedies, As anything bordering on the sensational or supernatural is in- tensely interesting to the average every-day "layman,” Till’s alleged feats of healing have caused much talk all over the northwest. In view of this, the following, taken from the Barron County (Wis.) Shield will be read by Pioneer subscribers | with interest. Under the caption “The Secret of Till’s Dope,” the Shield says: “‘Dr.” Till, the plaster specialist of Almena, was summoned by Attor- ney Dean of Glenwood to give testi- mony under the discovery statute in the suit pending against him in | Barron county circuit court, entitled Patrick Sullivan. vs. John Till for malpractice. 4 “In his examination the ‘doctor’ repudiated the insinuation that he had ever studied medicine in books. He learned it from a blacksmith. Mr. Till described his method of diagnosing a case; said he did all his diagnosing by feeling of the patient’s neck and pressing the nerves of the neck. This procedure caused him (Till) to feel the same symptoms that the patient felt. He also claimed to be a blagksmith—'‘a welder of nerves,’ as Attorney Dean facetiously termed it. “Mr. Till kindly volunteered the information that he was nota doctor, but when the doctors got sick, they came to him and he made them well. “Under the questioning of Mr. Dezan, Till said he made two plasters, a salve and a liquid - plaster, and a liniment. Asked as to the formulas of these famous remedies, the plaster artist said his salve is' composed of {olium tiglium—it appears to tickle ’em alright—tallow and linseed oil. The equally famous plaster is com- posed of olium tiglium, linseed oil and olive oil, while the all-powerful liniment is. 2 mixture of amonia, alcohol and fishoil. Olium tiglium is said to be akin to croton oil,and is warranted to get a ‘move on’ anyone when allother means fail. “The examination was interesting and quite a number were present and heard it. Patrick Sullivan, the plaintiff in the suit against Mr. Till, alleges that he visited the plastorium in October, 1907, and what the ‘doc- | tor’ did to him was a plenty. He alleges that he has blood poisoning and has been confined to his bed since he took the treatment.” Heis suing for $25,000, and the case is expected to come up in the circuit court next week. No doubt the trial will attract alarge crowd.” Contest Case Heard Here. A hearing on a homestead contest case was held yesterday in the office of Clerk of Court Fred Rhoda of this city, Esten O. Estenson of Kelliher being the contestant and Ambrose Anderson of the Town of Battle being the contestee. Henry Funkley appeared for Mr. Estenson and P. J. Russell of this city for Mr. Anderson. The testimony vias taken and forwarded to the United States land office at Cass Lake where the final hearing will be held at 10 o’clock in the morning of April 6th before the and receiver of that office. register Art Exhibit For Schools.

Vincennes, Ind., March 2 .—Mrs. Russell Culbertson is dead from hav- ing swallowed or having been forced to swallow carbolic acid. She was found in the shed at the rear of the home of her husband’s father and mother, Joshua Brazleton and wife. She had been bound and gagged. Her arm and head were bruised as if she had struggled with assailants. After being carried in the house she said “a ! man and woman dragged me out ‘of the closet into the shed and forced me to swallow something.” Then she became unconscious and continued so until her death. The woman’s husband, Russell Cul- bertson, is a bookkeeper for the Kie- meyer Lumber company at Lawrence- ville, Ill. He declares he is confident that his wife was murdered by per- sons whose identity he knew, but he would give no further information ex- cept to the police. Mrs. Culbertson lately had received several letters threatening that if she did not give up her husband she would be killed. The handwriting has been identified as that of a woman who was a friend of Culbertson before he was married. In the pocket of Mrs. Culbertson’s apron the last of the letters was found. It bore only the word “good- bye” and contained a small plaster of paris skull and cross bones. The Culbertsons were married last January. Mrs. Culbertson formerly was Jessie Overton and came here from Teéxas seven years ago as a trained nurse. GOTCH TO DEFEND TITLE World’s Champion Wrestler Will Meet Perrilli on Mat in Omaha.

SPEAKS TO COUNTRYMEN In Addressing Adherents and Admir- ers at Paris He Declares the Inten- tion of Re-Establishing His Power at Caracas by Revolution if Neces- sary—Says Present Administration Will Bankrupt Venezuela. Paris, March 2/—Cipriano Castro, the former president of Venezuela, and the members of his party have left this city for Bordeaux. At the railroad station Senor Castro confided to a small group of Venezu- elan adherents and admirers his in- tention of re-establishing his power in Venezuela by a revolution, should this be necessary. After entering the car the deposed president of Venezuela leaned from a window and spoke to his countrymen with an earnestness |9 and passion which left no doubt in their minds that he was convinced he was another Napoleon returning from Elba to reconquer his country. Continuing, Senor Castro spoke bit- terly of the treachery of Juan Vieente Gomez, whom he left as vice presi- dent and who has since been made president of Venezuela, and predicted that those now in control of the state would drive the country into bank- ruptey. In conclusion Castro denounced as Hes the stories of his fabulous wealth and said he was not even rich enough to remain in Europe, where, further- more, life had no attraction for him. His impassioned nature, he explained, yearned for activity and forced him again into the tumult. As the train pulled out of the station Castro’s part- ing words were: “I believe that God and destiny call me back to Venezuela. I intend to accomplish my mission there, even though it involves revolution.” Castro’s friends were much im- pressed by what he had to say. They asserted he was a man of indomitable will, with supreme confidence in his own star. OPPOSED TO RESUBMISSION Anti-Prohibition Delegations Appear at Des Moines.
