wound, which was more painful than
serious. Ryan brought on the encounter
by entering Davis house, where Coombs,

viously had trouble, to fight.

Assaulting Non-Union Men.

PITTsBURG, Oct. "A non-union man
named Smith, employed at Carnegie's
Thirty-third street mill, was attacked by
strikers while on his way home Saturday
night and so badly b zen that it is feared
that he will die. " nen found he was un-
conscious and has been laying ever since in
a stupor. His assailants are known and
are being shadowed by detectives to pre-
vent their escape. Andrew Volskie, an
other non-union workman, was assaulted
on the same day. He was approached fro, L

injuries are not serious

MADE TO DRINK HIS OWN DOSE.
A story of Eetributive Justice That Is
Told Two Ways.

BOISE CITY, Idaho, Oct. At is not
often that retributive justice comes so
swiftly to a would-be murderer as it did to
George Penfieid, a miner, whose body was
buried last Wednesday near Grouse creek.
There are two stories concerning his death.
One is that, actuated by a desire to
obtain the whole of n rich placer mine
owned Jointly by himself. Thomas joyce
William Bramlett and Theodore Bragg. he
dosed a bottle of whisky with strychnine
and then before his associates had
swallowed any of the fatal draught went
i'm the dark for drink and picked up the
wrong bottle dying in horrible agony soon
after.
The Story That Is Believed.
Another story, and the one that is gener~
ally believed, is that two of Penfields
partners drank small quantities of the poi
soned whisky and became sick. As they
had long known that Penfield was bad
man, and as he had recently purchased
poison, they accused him of having tam
pered with the liquor. He vehemently de-
MED the charge, but refused to partake of
the doctored whisky. Then his three part
ners drew their revolvers and compelled
him to drink. He did not hesitate when
the pistols were leveled at his head and
after he had taken a big drink he started
to leave the cabin in which the men We're
standing.
He VIII Be Somewhat Missed.
He walked down behind a dump and
running his finger down his throat, en-
deavored TO produce vomiting. Before he
succeeded in doing the strychnine COM
menced to work, and he died in convul-
sions. Bramlett and Bragg at first admit
ted that the latter story was true. but as
they learned that the matter was to be in
vestigated they asserted that Penfield's s
daath t,, role
Penfield had a record of having killed sew
Pnfenn men

Three Men Fatally Burned.


Three Men Fatally Burned.
BOISE CITY, Ida, Oct. 4.-In the great
prairie fire that ragged last week in the Bear

ing in small valley on Tuesday last. A
strong wind suddenly blew a sea of fire
down upon them. Before they could turn
the maddened animals the herd wBs sur
rounded by flames. The cattle then huG-
lied in the middle of clearing about n
mile square in extent, but despite the eff
forts of the C ,vboys they again stampeded.
Many of them dashed into the midst of the
flames. where they persisted in horrible
agony.
No Escape From the Circle.
To save their lives the four cowboys who
were within the fierce circle attempted to
force their horses through narrow belt
Of blazing timber. Before they had gone
ten feet the animals had inhaled flames and
dropped to the earth, their riders being
compelled to run back to their starting
place After raging with great fury for
nine hours the wind drove the flames on
ward and friends from neighboring ranges
came to the rescue of the four cowboys.
Three of them are so badly burned that
they will die

OsKALoosA, Ia, Oct. 4.-Saturday after
noon Guy Helm and his two nephews
named Clark visited Fremont, near which

home first, and when near the Clark home
secreted himself by the roadside. When

IN them with a revolver, killing one out
right and mortally wounding the other.
Helm gave himself up to the sheriff. The
shooting was the result of feud which has
existed for some time between the two
families over the division of an estate.

The old idea of 40 years ago WIS that facial
eruptions were due TO "blool huuor," for
which they gave potash. Thus i,e old Sarsa-
parillas contain potash, a most uLy ,.uouable and
drastic mineral, that instead OF decreasing,
actually creates more eruptions. You have no
uced this when taking other sarsaparillas than
joys. 1t is however now known that the stom.
ach, the blood creating power, is the seat of all
vitiating or cleansing operations A stomach
clogged by indigestion or constipation, vitiates
the blood, result pimples. A clean stomach and
healthful digestion purifes it and they disappear
Thus joys Vegetable sarsaparil1a is compounded
after the modern idea to regulate the bowels and
stimulate the digestion. The effect is immediate
and most satisfactory. A short testimonial to
contrast the action of the potash Sarsaparillas
and joys modern vegetable preparation. Mrs.
C. D. Stuart, OF 400 Hayes St, s. f., writes: ~

sarsaparilla but it actually caused more pimples
to break out on my face. Hearing that Joys was

DAVID LONG TO BE RELEASED.
Prosecuting Attorney Cole Gives Notice
of Motion Diminishing the Case.


The last act in the Long murder
case will occur in the superior court
this morning. Prosecuting Attorney
Cole will move in open court for the
dismissal Of the case against Long, in
which he is charged with the murder
of Norman Humes, and set forth at
length his reasons for doing 50. He
made the announcement of his deter
mination to do so before Judge Vim
yesterday morning, and as all other
Jury cases had been disposed of, the
Jurors were thereupon dismissed for
the term. The chances Of securing
conviction Of Long of the murder of
Humes were slight. To bring the case
TO trial would cost the county not less
than $4,000. He had been ably prose-
cuted by Major Cole and II. A. Fair
child for the murder Of Susan Long, by
far the strongest case against him, and
his prompt acqHittal by the intelligent
jury that heard the evidence leaves but
little doubt that the result would have
been the same in this case had it been
brought 10 trial. The defense Of this
celebrated case, one Of the most re-
markable in many respects ever heard
on the coast, has been conducted by
Mr.. r. G.. Newman Of this city.
SO in all probability, David Long,
who has been held a prisoner in the
county Jail since the 10Th of December
last, when he gave himself up to
Sheriff DeLorimier of Lummi Island,
will to-day walk forth a free man,
never again TO be in jeopardy for the
killing of Susan Long or Norman
Humes.
