DECLARES SCIENTIST
SPOKANE Oct. 1—Picture rocks
scattered across the American con
tinent from Hudson Bay to Puget
Sound, deciphered by Oluf Lauritzon
Opsjon prove, he declares, claims
that Norse explorers established colo
nies in the Pacific Northwest nearly
five centuries before Christopher Col
umbus discovered America.
Mr. Opsjon, a Norwegian scientist
has conducted incestigations into the
early Norse migrations for thirty
years. Characters carved and paint
ed on mountain cliffs of the northern
United States, heretofore regarded as
the work of Indians, he declares, are
the records of early Norse explorers.
Figures of men, birds and beasts he
has identified as signs of the zodiac
by which, taken in conjunction with
astronomical scales in the same con
figurations to the month and day
when they were recorded.

erals in the chronograms or signs
show that the first visits were made
in the year 1010. Appearance of runic
letters peculiar to old Nordic writing
first drew his attention to the signs.
It was then he discovered that the
birds, goats, and other figures which
had been thought to be merely carica
tures, were really astronomical signs.
The earlies expedition to the Pacif
ic Northwest, according to Mr. Ops
' jon’s interpretation of the monuments
j was led by a man named Attle, call
ed Lippon by the aborigines. Four
' other expeditions followed this one,
the last led by one Knutson who same
in 1362, still more than a century be
> fore Columbus’ voyage.
“One party of explorers came thru
, the mountain passes of Montana and
down the Spokane valley,” the scien
. tist declares, “leaving in the Cascade
mountains many stone records. The
earliest party of which have record
settled on both sides of Puget Sound,
later moving to the Rouge River val- j
ley in Oregon to what is now Eureka, j
California, when, outnumbered by the j
Indians, they were forced to migrate.
“Many battles were fought between
the aborigines and the explorers. j
“There are visible records that with
superior weapons the Norsemen were
generally victorious. They carried ar
rows, bows, axes, swords and dag
gers.”

CHASE BY DRY AGENTS
CAUSES AUTO WRECK
One Victim’s Skull Is Fractured In
A Baltimore Crash—Prohibi
tion Men Reprimanded.
BALTIMORE, Oct. 1.—While seek
ing to avoid prohibition agents who
were pursuing them early yesterday
in an automobile three residents of
Washington were injured when their
[car crashed into a telephone pole at
Hoppleton and Ramsey streets. Rob
i ert Stebenson suffered a fractured
skull.
The other occupants of the car said
that the dry agents had accosted them
wihtout warning and they fled, think
ing the agents were highwaymen.
They were forced into the pole when
the other car passed them and block
ed the road.
George M. Ashton was arrested by
the pursuers after the crash. He ap
peared at a hearing this afternoon. A
pint of liquor was found in his pos
session, the dry agents said. United
j States Commissioner Supplee repri
| manded the three agents, Burrill, Ro
binson and Woodward, who were in
the pursuing car, and the charge a
gainst Ashton was dismissed.
“What does the freedom of the
road amount to if things like this
happen to innocent citizens?” Com
missioner Supplee asked. “I would
like to see you try such tactics on
! me. There are enough big law vio
lations going on around you to keep
iyou busy without meddling in such
matters.”
The agents replied that they chased
the Washington automobile “on sus
picion.” They testified that the cur
tains were up and that the rear
springs were sagging.
“That makes no difference,” the
Commissioner replied.

KANSAS CITY DOCTOR
INVENTS NEW TRUSS
New Discovery Heals Rupture With
out An Operation
Kansas City, Mo.’ (Special)—A
new discovery which, Aperts agree,
has no equal for curative effects in all
ruture cases, is the latest accomplish
ment of the welLknown Hernia Spec
ialist, Dr. Andrews, 821 Kock Bldg.,
Kansas City, Mo. The extraordinary
success of this new method proves
that it holds and heals a rupture. It
weighs only a few ounces. Has no
hard gouging pads, no elastic belt, no
leg straps, no steel bands, and is as
comfortable as a light garment. It
has enabled hundreds of persons to
throw away trusses and declare then
rupture absolutely healed. Many of
these had serious double ruptures,
from which they had suffered for
years. It is Dr. Andrews’ ambition
to have every ruptured person enjoy
the quick relief, comfort and healing
power of his discovery, and he will
send it on free trial to any reader of
the Seward Daily Gateway, who writes
him. He wants one person in each
neighborhood to whom he can refer.
If you wish to be rid of rupture, for
good, without an operation, take ad
vantage of the doctor’s free offer.
Write him today.
