Dr. Noble hastily examined Wendland, saw at a glance the seriousness of his injuries, and began preparations for removing him on a stretcher to the Wood- || land hospital Here the burly cop asserted his two-penny authority. “Stand back, there,” he commanded the doctor. “Keep away from that man.

Dr. Noble declares it was A HALF HOUR from the time of the accident until the ambulance came. When the ambulance did arrive, the cop was determined the man should go to the city hospital, three miles away, much of it over bumpy planking. It required the combined efforts of the Butterworth men and Dr Noble to dissuade him. “If they had taken Wendiand to the city hospital, he would have been dead before the journey was half over,” Dr. Noble said Thursday night .

It believes that Uncle Sam's present attitude in the midst of the general up- heaval, is glorious, notwithstanding that, as an innocent bystander, he gets considerable of the buckshot that’s flying around. But, he's like a notoriously rich storekeeper who puts his money and jewels in his front windows and leaves his doors wide open at night. Events cry aloud to him a warning to put himself and what he has in a state of com- plete protection and defense. Not a dollar for offense, but all the dollars necessary for defense! This should be the motto of congress. The next session should provide for all the naval increases recommended by the reliable and unbiased experts.
