Seattie. Wash.—The lady "that's
known'as Lou" still is living and
she carries a scar from that famed
shooting scrape that took piace up
in the Klondike at the beginning o!
the century.
And she isn't the oniy one alive
who was in the Malamute saloon
the night her iover, Dangerous Dart
McGrew, was shot to death in a bat-
tie with Lou's husband.
Perhaps when you read Robert
W. Service's poem. "The Shooting
of Dan McGrew," you suspected he
was writing out of whole cioth. But
he wasn't. Yau can take that from
Michael A. Mahoney, a rugged
Irishman, who went into the Kion-
dike as a boy of seventeen and
knows a]) about it. Mahoney was
in the Malmute, where "a bunch of
the boys were awhooping it up," and
saw the whoie affair.
Lou, he says, was aot a loose
woman, as Service's readers sus-
pect. She was a respected wife of
Johannesburg, S. A., when she met
Dan McGrew and ran away with
him. Her husband vowed to find
her and settle matters with Danger-
ous Dan.
The wronged husband's search led
him to tife gold country and there in
the Malamute satoon that night his
quest ended. Dangerous Dan and
Lou were there. Dangerous Dan
and Lou's husband drew their pis-
tols and the shooting began. When
the smoke had cieared both men iay
dead and Lou was sobbing in a cor-
ner. A buliet had struck her in the
shoulder. And among those who had
seen the shooting was, of course.
Bob Service.
Service is alive and weil, too. He
spends most of his time soaking up
the warm sunshine of the Riviera
in France. "The Shooting of Dan
McGrew" was a moneymaker.
Mahoney, who frequently lectures
to Lions clubs in the Northwest,
doesn't teti where Lou is iiving now.
Owners have found a good market
for their livestock at the week!)
auctions concocted in Jacksonville
by East Texas Livestock Commission
Company. The managers, W. D. Har-
per and Carl Wiliiams, operate an
auction every Wednesday on West
Commerce Street, next to Harper's
mule barn.
A professiona) auctioneer makes
the saies, and most of the time is
able to obtain as good price as the
owner could get at more distant
markets. Often the returns from
stock sold at this auction are greater
than those at Fort Worth. Buyers
from severa] counties are on hand at
every saie.
Anybody desiring to sell or, buy
iivestock is invited to attend these
auctions.

Brown." W. A. Brown believed in

promises by carefut attention to
work and making everybody feei
welcome in her office at ait times.

there is unemployment in thl*

Save Woman From Deaih
by Use of Her Own B!ood
London. — Transfusiop of three
pints of her own blood heiped save
the life of the wife of a govern-
ment employee after she apparently
had died on 'he operating table at
Croydon generai hospitai.
The woman, whose name has
been kept secret, suffered an in-
ternal hemorrhage after the abnor-
mal birth of a child. An operation
was necessary. Immediately after
the administration of an anesthetic,
she collapsed and her heart ceased
to beat. Apparently she was dead.
The resident surgical officer at the
hospital, thirty-year-oid Dr. C.J. C.
Siggers, and his assistant, Dr. E. P.
C. Ashman, immediately adminis-
tered the drug ephedrine. While an
incision was made just beiow the
ribs, Dr. Siggers began massaging
the heart through the diaphragm.
The heart began beating again.
The doctors found that about
three pints of the woman's blood
(the body holds oniy about five
pints) had drained into the abdo-
men, necessitating an immediate
blood transfusion. As there was no
time to summon a blood donor, the
doctors took one pint of the wom-
an's own blood through an incision,
passed it through steriiized gauze
and restored it to the patient by the
orthodox introduction into a vein in
the arm. After a second incision
two more pints were removed from
the abdomen and transferred to the
arm. Then the doctors were abie
to carry out the origina) operation.
The operation occurred about ten
days ago and the woman wiii be
abie to return home soon.
