DBNIO CATTLE MAN
KILLED FROM VMBt'SH
Standing in the bush some distance
from their intended victim, some one
murdered E. B. Hill ot Denio, using
a high-powered rifle. The shooting
occurred at 3 o’cloek Monday after
noon. while Hill was hunting for
cattle on his ranch, located over the
•
Nevada-Oregon boundary line, twen
ty miles north of Denio.
Telephone advice to the Silver
State is that no motive has been dis
covered nor is any particular person
suspected of the crime. The bullet
struck Hill in the upper part ot one
of his arms, nearly passing through
his body. The dead man was found
soon after by an employe. Other
persons had neard the shot and
search was instituted The sheriff of
Malheur county, Oregon, was imme
diately called from Barns and is
making an investigation of the case
Deceased was 53 years of age and
was born in one of the eastern states.
Surviving are hla widow and one
daughter, Miss Harriet Hill, both of
whom are at the ranch home

Change Morale of Hospital From That
of Discouragement and Hamaaick*
nsaa to That of Cheerful Activity,
Which Exercised Not Only Stiffened
Joints and Muscles, but Their
Minds aa Well.
By ELEANOR R. WEMBRIOOE.
(la ' Canr 0»")
It Ik no longer necessary for the
| division of physical reconstruction to
! state what Is to be the future work
of the aids in occupational therapy Id
the wards of military hospitals. It
is now able to speak In terms of ac
complishment and say wliat the aids
have already done aud what they are
doing both in the United States and
In Europe.
There are now over 1.200 women in j
this service. Seventy-foor of these j
are on duty in France, and nearly i
two hundred more were under orders
and ready to sail for France, but re
ceived their transfer to domestic duty
when the armistice was signed.
Perhaps the personal story of one
of the surgeons, who has just return
ed from France, will give more of an
idea of the work of these women than
any other description could do. He
describes most vividly his surprise
one morning in the midst of an in
spection of hundreds of arm and leg
cases In a base hospital, when foul
women presented themselves In uni
forms and announced that they were
“Reconstruction Aids in Occupation
al Therapy.”
“Occupational therapy. what’l
that?" said the major.
“W<- will showr you." said the girts.1
Morale Quickly Changed.
Aud with no material at all. (the!!
bo* of supplies had disappeared er
route and has never heeu seen since)
they began their work. Before theii
arrival the problem of keeping the
soldiers contented had been very dif- ;
ficult. There they lay, by dozen*1
(fifteen in a row. with compound
fractures of the femur) tiaviug told
all the stories that they knew, hav-1
iijg read all the Itooka that they could
get, and having been reduced to shoot
Ing craps from one bed to another U -
pass the time. The aids begged old
scraps of gauze left from bandage*
dyes from the chemical laboratories
burlap that had come wrapped arounc
the hospital bed*; und, on woodet
frames, which they made themselves i
the boys were soon occupied hooking
rugs. So great was the popularit)
of the rugs thut they could not rnaki
them fast enough, and they were usu
ally sold, provided the boy* woult
consent to part with them, befort
they had hardly heeu started. From
making rng«, the boy* passed on t«
wood-carving hasket-mnking. and th<
other crafts, us soon us tuateriu
could he devised. The morale of tin
wards was changed from that of dlw |
couragement and homesickness to that
of cheerful activity, which exercised
Dot only their stilTetn-d Joint* an<
muscles, hut their minds a* well.
Thu* the major concluded, "Whet
I saw those nlds for the first tlma
1 did not know what they were for
but now I know I never Intend U
have a hospital without them."
Scope of Work Extended.
From teaching the lighter craft*
suitable for l*ed patients, the aids
have been requested to direct porct
work, shop work, the teaching ol
academic subjects preparatory foi {
civil service, the teaching of English j
to foreigners and Illiterates, the teach
ing of the commercial subjects, boob 1
keeping, stenography, and account
lug, and even In a few cases th«
teaching of gardening, poultry raia
Ing, and photography.
As one enthusiastic patient said
“The education which 1 got In this
hospital Is worth the leg I left hw
hind.”
There is still a demand for aids,
provided that they apply at once and
are ready for Immediate service in
any hospital in the United States
8ince the work will not continue In*
definitely, their services are needed
without delay. Here Is the chance
for skilled crafts women, and foi
women with academic and profession*
al training to pny their final debt to
the boys in the hospitals, who were,
so ready to sacrifice their all. when
they turned from civilians into splen*
did soldiers. They must now face ths
harder task of changing again from
soldiers and from hospital patients!
Into healthy, efficient civilians.

WOMAN GETS $10,000
—
Does Not Know Who Is 8end«r, but
May Be Her Father's Debtor.
Mrs. Marie Ulsh, who lives on •
farm In Snyder county, Pa., has re
ceived $10,000 In $20 and $10 bill!
through the malls and she has no
Idea who sent her the money.
An unsigned typewritten letter in*
structed the woman to divide tbo
money equally with her two sisters.
Mrs. Ulsh’s only explanation of the
mystery Is that the money may hava
been sent by some conscience-stricken
person who owad It to her lata father.
