A BUTCHERS DEATH.
1t Causes the Arrest of Saloon
Keeper Waller.

Charles Junken, butcher of 137 Cough
street, died Saturday night under circum-
stances that caused an official investigation
The Coroner was notified yesterday morn
ing of the death and caused the remains to
be removed to the MOrgue.
Three weeks ago Junken had a Quarrel
with Christopher Waller, who keeps sa-
loon at the corner of Eighth and Market
streets. Jnnken and Waller had been
nelghbors for several years. residing in the
same block. 1t was about o'clock in the
afternoon that they met in front of Junken's
butcheT-Shop. Words were followed by
blows, and it is claimed that Waller fol
lowed Junken into the butcher-shop and
struck him over the head several times with
piece of gas-pipe.
The following day Junken became very
SICK, and after that remained in his apart
ments over the butcher-shop. A week later
he suffered a stroke of paralysis He was
attended by DTs. Buckley, Hirchfelder.
Won Bulow and Wendell, who were of TIE
opinion that the stroke of paralysis was due
to the injuries he had received
Waller was taken into custody early yes
terday morning and lodged in the tanks at
the City Prison, to await the result of the
Coroner's inquest He was very reticent
in reference to his quarrel with Junken and
denied that he struck him with any instru-
ment. lie SAID that II he did strike him IL
was with his fists and in self-defense.
. Dr. Williams made an autopsy on the re-
mains ana found that the cause of death
was paralysis. There was a confusion on
the scalp, but the skull was not fractured,
From the indications it was considered that

have caused the stroke OF paralysis.

SO says The highest authority in London. But
nothing be absurd than for any lady TO try

applying cream or ointment. These things are
necessary 1t is true. but something else Is more i'm
poriaut. Good, refreshing sleep. Warm, circulating
blood. which never permits cold feet or blue noses.
These things make beauty quicker than any pow
ders or lotions But, my lady reader says, how
can this be done? Keep the blood moving by some
gentle stmulant, and for this purpose nothing is
equal to pure whisky. Not the whisky one COM
monty hears of; not the questionable kind that Is

pure, palatabe and pleasing This is precisely what
Dufy's Pure Malt Whisky is and what has made 1t
