E. A. oJnes, 2440 South Twentieth
avenue, after pondering for 30 min
utes, told the judge lie lias a wife
and child, has worked up from truck
driver to salesman for Swift A: Co.,
and feared a jail sentence might lose
his job for him. The judge sent him
to jail till 1 in the afternoon.
“If you put me In the jug. I’ll
probably lose my job and be bark
here again ns a vagrant, like some
of these I’ve seen this morning,”

was hurrying to pick up a fare ahead
of another driver. The judge put him

K. M. Brawn, 2402 Cass street,
and Henry Weiss, Council Bluffs,
drew “heavy" sentences, extending till
5 p. in.
“These were not your first offenses
as you say." declared Judge Neble
in a lecture. “They were just first
times you were caught."
EVILS OF FEAR AND
WORRY DESCRIBED
Fenr anil worry, described as the
one snake or devil which drove hap
piness out of the Garden of Eden,
thicken the blood and pour poison
into the secretions, weakening physi
cal health, Ur. Stanley L. Krebs de
clared in an address last night in the
bail room of the Fnntenelie hotel. Ur.
Krebs, of New York, lectured on
"Seven Devils, One or None.”
"in the Gates laboratory at Wash
ington,” said Dr. Krebs, "we have a
machine which can very nearly regis
ter human feeling and emotion. We
have no 'emotive bottle’ as some sen
sational writers declared seme years
ago but «e do register the intensity
of affection, passion and impulse.”
Touching on fear and worry and
its resultant ill affect on health, he
declared the cure has been discovered
in the relation of mind to matter
which has tieen investigated "with
almost romantic interest by psycho
logical science in these later, years.”
Dr. Krebs will lecture again Mon
day night on "The Moods and Mys
teries of Human Nature and. How to
Understand and Handle Them.”

Dr. 4. S. Pinto Once
of Filipino
I ryes. a. s', ^iunro.
The story of how Health Cominls
-loner A. S. Pinto shot the head from
a Filipino nearly 25 years ago is be
ing given first publicity in Omaha.
The doctor believes that thi3 was
the most thrilling moment of his life.
While serving as a contract surgeon
with the United States army in Cuba,
he allowed himself to be bitten by
yellow fever mosquitoes In the inter
est of science, hut he avers that ex
perience was not comparable to the
one in the Philippines. He has even
served as a judge at a baby show
and faced scores of disappointed
mothers.
He was in the Philippines at the
time when Agulnalrlo was challenging
Uncle Sara. He was with a volunteer
outfit attached to the First infantry,
holding the rank of captain and shar
ing the fate of a fighting man as well
as administering his services as a sur
geon.
Surprise Native Lender.
Lieut. Col. G. L. Townsend and
Pinto on an eventful day were in
command of a company which had
heen detailed to skirmish around the
town of Hernannl, on the Island of
Samar. The men had been undergo
ing difficulties and hardships incident
to the campaign in the Philippines
tid were on the lookout for treach
erous natives.
Townsend surprised a native lead
er. Pinto was a few steps behind
Townsend. The native displayed a
dagger and was preparing to disem
bowel Townsend, according to the
most approved custom of the islands.
Pinto observed the situation, raised
his gun and sent a charge into the
native's head, taking off the top.
The native and Townsend fell to
gether. The dagger was found Im
paled in the left forearm of Town
send. Dr. Pinto gave his commander
first aid and then toolc charge of the
company. The injured officer was
carried hark to Hernannl.
Townsend Remembers.
A few years ago the town of Cal
houn, about 15 miles north of Omaha,
celebrated the 100th anniversary of
the establishment of Fort Atkinson
on a site near the present location of
Calhoun. Colonel Townsend attended
tho event.
To one of the sons of Dr. Pinto,
Colonel Townsend said:
“If it had not been for your
father's quickness while we were in
the Philippines I would not be here
today.”
Dr. Pinto recalled the Incident ss
follows: •

Shot Off Head
to Save Commander
and T were welkin* cine* together.
He stepped out of the trail to Inves
tigate a suspicious looking trap when
on# of the enemy hurled himself on
Townsend with e drRwn dagger.
The native's intention was to dis
embowel him. I was st hie side
with my gun drawn and cocked. 1
look in the situation and shot the
native at the corner of the right eye
and raised off the top of his head
like a teapot.
Heroes of Fight.
He and Townsend fell and in fall
ing, the native's dagger passed
through Townsend's forearm. 1 lift
ed the dead body from Townsend
and gave him hurried first aid. Then
T took charge of the column, being
the only other commissioned officer
with the command. We drove off the
enemy with heavy loss to them and
proceeded to Hernanni where we met
the other column arKl fortified our
selves in the church, and there spent
the night.
"One particular item of daring was
performed by two soldiers who com
posed a point of our column. They
mounted a parapet made front cocoa
nut logs and stoics, and while the
enemy were whacking at their feet
with boios and daggers, accounted
for 14 of them around the parapet.
This fight took place on a Sunday
morning about 10:30.”
An official account of this fight
And of the saving of Townsend's life
appears on the reports of the War
department at Washington.

Shepherd Fails
to Enter Plea
Hearing on Indictment De
layed Till Mon
day.
By International News Perrier.
Chicago, March 21.—The arraign
ment of William D. Shepherd and Dr.
Charles C. Falman on the Indictment
charging them with murder for the
daath of William* Nelson McClintock
was adjourned until Monday shortly
after noon today.
No pleas were entered ^id no defi
nite action taken. Only one witness,
Falman, was placed on the stand.
Nearly an hour before the time
scheduled for the arraignment, the
courtroom was crowded with specta
tor*. Jostling and fighting each other
for points of vantage.
The state was represented by a
small army of attorneys, who sat In
conference as the defense began Its
argument for dismissal of the charges.
It was a disappointment to the
greatest aggregation of courtroom
spectators which has assembled here
since the Leopold Loeb trial.
A few tilts between the defense at
torneys and the assemblage of coun
sel for the state and the monotonous
outline of the defense argument by
Attorney William S. Stewart was all
that rewarded them for their hours
of waiting and fighting for places of
vantage In the courtroom.
Dr. Miller's Topics.
On Sunday morning, at the First
Christian church. Twenty-sixth and
Harney streets, Rev. George A.
Miller will speak on "The, Present
Need of Reformation.” In the eve
ning the subject will be "Jesus in the
