"YARB DOCTOR”
3EL!EYFD WIZARD
otrange Old Man in Missouri
Who Embittered the
i Countryside.
IS SHOT TO DEATH
_
Suspected of Setting Fires and De
stroying Grain, He Is Waylaid at ¥
Night by Angry Neighbors
and Killed. *'
Kansas City.—High up In a lonely
rubin, on an elevation In an overflow
district of the Missouri river, for more
than flu years the mysterious "yarb
doctor" of Charlton county brewed his
medicines from herbs of the forest and
made prophecies to the country folk.
Who lie was or where he came from
no one ever knew, lie gave his name
as Kturman, hut he never revealed his
true identity. His prophecies of death
and calamity came true so surely that |
the people of the vicinity accredited i
him with the powers of a wizard and j
feared him.
It Is said Unit lie predicted tile pres
| ent world war, declaring way back in j
| the early seventies Unit "In the last I
part of the lirst quarter of the new j
century the harvest fields will be
stripped of their gleaners, as they will
he lighting tt foe on a foreign soil, with
weapons not seen before."
All of his remedies the Dili doctor
prepared in a room which he allowed
no one to else to enter. The gray,
weather-beaten house straddled the
mound like a drunken horseman, look
ing as if at any time it might reel into
the lap of (he swamp lands below.
A Tall, Bent Figure.
The appearance of tile old man was
in keeping with his habitation. A tall,
bent figure humped over a cane;
black eyes that glittered under

. The sight of him coming down the !
road In his ramshackle buggy, drawn ,
by a rickety old gray mare, made the !
children scamper from the roadside.
The old man was a cripple when he
Mysteriously put in Ids appearatiee in j
III.' Missouri township. He was able to
get around only by means of bis horse j
mxl buggy. Although lie guve freely
und without charge of Ills remedies,
lie refused to “neighbor" with anyone.
As lie sipped his toddy In the little 1
cross roads store he quarreled with |
li e bystanders. He was constantly J
engaged In some lawsuit and made J
many hitter enemies.
And then there came a July night j
alien the men of the community decld
M the old doctor had been a neighbor
hood nuisance long enough. There
laid been several tires In the township,
buggy-Wheel tracks were seen In the
vicinity of each. Following the tires <
i number of gunks of wheat that were
loaded at the old Keytesville landing
ready to he shipped to Kansas City
a ere cut one night und thousands of
bushels of grain lost. The same
wheel tracks were seen near the land
ing. The community was enraged, i
I’he old "yurb doctor" was held re- |
iponslble.
The next afternoon, as he was jog j
,ing homeward, a number of men am
lushed In the lonely road riddled his j
body with bullets and hastily burled j
dm In a shallow grave.
Superstitious Fear.
The community approved, hut later ]
in a dozen men were arrested for the
nurder. When tlx court ordered the
indy of the murdered mini to lie ex- !
mined the whole neighborhood was j
dunned. They feared life might come
nm In to the old doctor, l’ruyer meet- ;
ags in the churches and at the old
iiuqsmeeting ground were set for the
uiy.
Kadi man arrested, however, proved
in ulild. The prosecution was sudden
v ended. The body was supposedly
lulled up in a walnut box und hurled
a a d**ep grave. The neighborhood
vsted easier.
The grave in the woods, however, Is
laid to he a haunted spot.
A Sweet Job.
“And now, since yon have come out

ml youthful editor, “we may us well
mfoss that our Idea of a strenuous
>b Is taming wild honey.”
