o'clock on the afternoon of the fatal day
the alarm was sent to Johnstown that

from the town to places of safety on reg

to South Fork and was notified of i'm

Before the last grand jury adjourned, three indictments-two for felony and one for misdemeanor-were found against Alfred Ruiz. MT. Ruiz has lived in Apache county some eight or nine years. He was County Recorder for two consecutive terms, and was Clerk of the District Court for several years, as we'll as Clerk of the County Court while in existence. Beingan active man both in the political and social circles of this community, he had won the respect and confidence of his fellow citizens, and they had honored him without reluc- tance or hesitancy on frequent occasions. We are now sorry to chronicle the fact, that Alfred Ruiz, with future before him of many possibilities, is to be ar- raigned before the bar of justice tor vio- lating the trust so freely and unhesita- tingly reposed in him by the people that he must come before them charged with felony, and prove, if he can, to twelve of his peers that he is not guilty of the crimes so charged.

That Cantankerous Old Woman

Described in the nursery ballad who "lived upon notliilg but victuals and drink, " and yet 'would never be quiet, " was undoubtedly troubled with chronic indigestion. Her victuals, like those of many other elderly persons whose diges- tive powers have become impaired, did not agree with her. This was before the era of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, or some of her numerous friends and rela- lives would undoubtedly have persuaded her to try the great specific for dyspep- sia, constipation and billiousness. This would have been a measure of self-pro- lection on their part, for she would soon have been cured and ceased to disturb them with her clamor. The most obsti- nate cases of indigestion, with its atten- dant, heartburn, fiatulence, constant uneasiness of the stomach and of the nerves, are completely overcome by this sovereign remedy. Chills and fever and bilious remittent, rheumatism and kid ney troubles are also relieved by it.

The HOstetter Stomach Bitter People
 Score Another Point.

In the United States Circuit Court for the Southern District of New York, Judge Shipman handed down an opinion few days ago in the suit of the owners of the trade marks covering Hostetter's Stomach Bitters against Arnold Theller and Cornell TEeller, the compounders located on Vesey street, New York City, in which it was decided shat, although the defendants made use of their own names on the labels affixed to the bot ties containing bItters prepared by them. yet as they were evidently designed to initiate the Hostetter labels, they were infringers, and perpetual injunction was granted and an accounting of dam ages ordered, together with the costs of the suit. It is the evident intention of the Hostetter people to protect their val uable trade mark against all infringers.
