Feature Story
Brings Big Scare
To Delano, Minn.
DELANO, Minn. <PA>—They’ve
pinned the title “Orson Welles of
Minnesota” on John F. Tischler,
editor of the Eagle here because
Tischler, as far as Delano is con
cerned, developed as much local
hysteria as the Welles “Man From
Mars” broadcast.
It all started when Tischler sat
down to write a feature story a
couple of weeks ago. News was
light and he found himself with
a vacant front-page spot.
Se he wrote:
"Denalo police trapped a des
perado here Saturday noon but he
Was killed as he resisted attempts
to subdue him. A companion, who
had evidently become suspicious
of the trap, escaped and is still at
large, although the police are on
the lookout for him. He is believed
to be lurking in this vicinity.
“Dead, as a result of a severe
clubbing over the head, is Arcto
mys Monax, who had a long rec
ord of violations.
“Residents in Brooklyn along
the highway near the railroad
t"acks had reported a number of
minor thefts, but little was thought
of the events until Miss Lucy Fon
fara spied Monax and a compan
ion acting in a suspicious manner
near her chicken coop Friday noon.
"Miss Fonfara called the police
but by the time the officers arrived
on the scene, the culprits disap
peared. After consultation, they
set an elaborate trap.
"At noon Saturday, Monax
emerged from his hiding and
walked right into the police. Fu
rious at being trapped, Monax
made a desperate fight for free
dom, but officer Luffey clubbed
him on the head, causing his
death. Because of the overwhelm
ing evidence against the desper
ado, no inquest into his death was
held.”
When the paper hit the street,
th? town w«nt into nn uoroar.
Women hurried home, barred their
doors and windows, spent a rest
less night, fearful that the com
panion of Monax might try to find
refuge in their homes, Tischler
claims.
Some of the men in town, he
adds, were forming a posse. Others
wanted to visit the mayor and urge
the removal of the police chief for
his brutality.
When the Eagle reached the
county seat at Buffalo, consterna
tion was even greater. The county

sheriff called the state bureau of

i they called on the county coroner

! Next they visited the Delano un

view of the town’s grave diggers
proved fruitless.
Running into another sone wall,
the law enforcement officers de
cided that their only hope was to
take the police chief into custody,
Tischler relates.
“Who is this Monax you killed?”
the chief was asked.
“He was a woodchuck," the Del

Facts A l)ou t
Tuberculosis
Remember that early tuberculo
sis usually can be "seen” with the
x-ray before it can be “heard”
with a stethoscope.
Tuberculosis kills more persons
between the ages of 15 and 45
than any other disease. In the age
group 15-24 it kills one and one
half as many women as men.
When we walk we take 25
breaths a minute; when we run
we take 50 deep breaths a minute;
when we lie in bed we take
shallow breaths per minute. Thus
bed rest gives the lungs afflicted
with tuberculosis a chance to heal.
In tuberculosis control there are
two fundamentals. First, find the
%
person who has the disease; and
second, prevent the spread of the
disease to others. If these two fun
damntals were applied in their
proper relationship, there is no
reason why tuberculosis could not
be eradicated from Alaska within
a few decades.
A cold fact about tuberculosis:
| Eight out of ten who enter the
i sanatorium for treatment are in
an advanced stage.
Many of the plagues that once
wiped out thousands of lives have
been eradicated, tuberculosis has
never given man any peace. Slow
ly, however, this old, treacherous
enemy is being forced to give
ground.
Tuberculosis does not iust hap
pen. It is passed from person to
person and the close contacts of
family life make the spread of the
disease difficult to control: That
is why early diagnosis is import
ant.
