Typhoid Trace
Found in Body
of McClintock
Experts Report Result of First
Examination Ordered by
Authorities of Cook
County.
(Continaed From Face One.)
sickroom, aa William D. Shepherd,
McCllntock's foster-father and chief
bkneficlary under the will, was
qlioted as saying.
(The number of visitors to McCltn
tick’s bedside were cut down when the
nvlady diagnosed as typhoid fever
rfached a critical stage, Dr. Stolp
s*id, but Miss Pope was specially ex
empted from that order.
jPr. Stolp Informed the authorities
that he had requested the parents of
Miss Pope to refrain from calling at
iho McClintock home at meal times,
because the nurses "objected to the
work Involved In feeding other pel*
sons.” The orders, he added, were
issued to keep the nurses contented.
Heard No Dispute.
Dr. Stolp gave a minute account
of the young millionaire’s Illness and
death. He said that he was present
at McCllntock’s bedside from the late
afternoon of December 3 to 2:30 of
the morning of December 4, when Mc
Clintock died. Miss Pope, he said,
was there on the afternoon of De
cember 3, when her fiance lay In the
coma which precedel his death, but
that he had overheard no dispute be
tween the girl and the Shepherds re
garding a marriage license.
"McClintock had been unconscious
for more than a week," Dr. Stolp
said. "I ordered him put on a liquid
diet on November 23 and I suppose
that order was followed.”
Typhoid Germs.
One of the theories which the
state's attorneys are considering is
that McCllntock's death may have
been induced or hastened by the ad
ministration of solid food to the
typhoid patient, which Is often "as
fatal as poison.”
Judge Olson also Intimated that the
Investigation Is considering the pos
sibility that McClintock may have
been innoculated with typhoid germs
after he was taken 111 with Influenza.
‘‘High medical authority says that
typhoid germs are as easily obtain
able as pistols," Judge Olson declared.
The plans of the state's attorney's
office are to question Shepherd Im
mediately on hie arrival here from
AJbuquerque, N. M., shortly before
nbon tomorrow. Mrs. Shepherd, It
wee learned. Is not accompanying her
hpaband as the legal Investigation
Into her ward's death has augmented
her nervous condition which vergsd

Bluffs Judge Who Sentenced Yout!)
25 Years Says Law to Blame, Not He
1 .. --
0. D. Wheeler Receives Letters Denouncing Him for Act;
Believes Warmeest Friends Now Look Askance /at
Him; ‘Scolded” at Public Meetings; Worried.
The life of a judge is not always
smooth.
| A few weeks ago, District Judge O.
Id. Wheeler In Council Bluffs sen
tenced a youth, Jay Graham, to 25
years imprisonment for robbing n fill
ing station man of $20 at the point of
a revolver.
The youth escaped from the train
on which a deputy sheriff was taking
him to the Anamosa reformatory.
He Is free while Judge Wheeler
suffers.
The judge has received letters de
nouncing him for imposing the drast
ic sentence against the young con
fessed robber.
He thinks his warmest friends look
askance at him.
At social and public gatherings he
has been taken aside and "scolded"
for sending "this poor lad" to spend
a quarter of a century In prison. Jay
Graham has assumed the figure of a
Hero In the public mind, an honest
corn-shucker who stole only to get
enough money to gb to his home in
Missouri.
The judge, who loves friends and
has many of them, is worried. He
has talked with them, showing that
he had no choice hi the matter. The
law says that "any person who, with
force and violence, or by putting in
fear or if armed with a dangerous
weapon, shall take from the person
of another any property, shall be im
prisoned In the penitentiary for a
term of 25 years." *
Graham was captured quickly after
he robbed Harry Jf’inney at the filling
station. He promptly pleaded guilty.
Judge Wheeler says it was his
duty to impose the sentence and then
it was "up to" the pardon board to
take suitable action.

Drenching Rains
Delay Spanish
Fliers in Raids
i
Aviators Unable to Control Re
bellious Territork; Attack
ing Battalions Have Been
Considerably Reduced.
By AMBoHatrd Press.
Tetua'ri, Morocco, IJec. 28-—Drench
ing idfns during Christmas prevented
the ’ Spanish aviators carrying out
raids .over the territory where rebel
lious Moorish troops have concen
trated north of Tetuan. I.ni ge forces
of Spaniards, stationed in Tetuan and
vicinity since the retirement of the
troops from Chectuaen, enjoyed a
comparative tranquility.
Battalions Reduced,
The lutUallons have been consider
ably reduced in numbers owing to the
returns to Spain of soldiers who have
served in Morocco. Other units have
been sent back to the Melilla zone. A
complete reorganization of the oc
cupying forces is taking place under
tlie supervision of Gen. Primo Rivera,
the Spanish military dictator. Various
battalions, which have been depleted,
have been merged Into a single bat
talion under the command of a ma
jor, instead of a lieutenant colonel, as
heretofore, thus leaving about a
dozen of the latter officers free to re
turn to the peninsula to take over
other commands.
Forts Abandoned.
Behind the newly formed line
stretching from Tetuan to Tangier,
most of the former Spanish forts
have been abandoned. This obviates
the necessity of frequent convoys
and leaves the flying columns under
General Saro and Colonel Franco free
to operate in the work of suppressing
uprisings among the natives. The
tribesmen at the present moment are
showing a disposition to submit, al
though several groups still maintain
hostile activities in the neighborhood
of Zoco-El-Telata.
Around Tetuan and In the city It
self, have gathered numbers of civil
ian Spaniards who retired with the
troops from Checbauen and other
places In the south, where they were
engaged In business and truck gar
dening. Most of these hope that
when the country is pacified they will
be able to resume their various oc
cupations. They assert that the Nlf
fians and other tribes usually dis
played a friendly attitude toward
them, engaging freely In business
transactions.
Spaniards Become Rich.
During their long sojourn in Mo
rocco, many of the Spanish business
men and truck gardeners became
somewhat prosperous and lived eaaier
lives than before they emigrated from
Spain. At "the moment they are suf
fering some privation becausa they
have been deprived of their occupa
tions. and some, who do not possess
the means to return to Spain, are in
a rather precarious situation. They
fear that, even If they could return
to the home country, they would not
be able to find employment.

Tracks of Dinosaur \
Discovered in Rocks in
South Dakota Quarry
-■>
Vermillion, S. D., Dec. 16.—The di
nosaur, tremendous, reptile-like ani
mal, roamed over western South Da
kota thousands of years ago, accord
ing to W. H. Over, curator of the Uni
versity of South Dakota museum, who
bases his opinion on the appearance
of fossil tracks of the dinosaur, which
have been quarried out of hard sand
rock in Chester county.
The dinosaur was about 50 feet In
length, of which two-thirds consisted
of a long slim tail, which acted as a
balance as the animal walked with its
hind feet and used its small front
feet only to feed itself. The hind toes
had a spread of IS inches, it Is said,
and the tracks were very much like
those of a huge bird.
As far as known, this Is the first
evidence of this type of dinosaur found
In this state, and It is hoped that fur
ther research will reveal a skeleton
burled In the same kind of rock for
mation, which is known as “lower
creslaceous."
