bTbS trouble with most coiugh;msdi-
cinces is that they spoil the appetite,
weaken digestion and create bile.
Ayers Cherry Pectoral, on the con-
trary, while it gives immediate relief,
assists rather than impairs the assim-
ilative process.
The county commissioners, at a
special meeting last week, ordered
suit begun against ex-County Treas
uror Berg for the balance owing the
county. This seems to be rather rush
ing matters. 1t is well understood
why Mr.. Berg is short and it is also
well known that it was not his fault.
Mr. Berg has offered to settle in full
by the frat Of July and the commits
sioners seem to be rushing things a
little too fast. There is the old &C
count of ex-Sherif Whitehill and the
mann fhnVaop1 p ff 1o11nr q fhaf CT ar
if LOckhart has not turned over, and
the people Of the county would mucl
rather see the commissioners make a
rustic for this money than to go after
Berg, for nearly every one thinks thi:
Eioneyis safe if Berg is given a reason,
able time. Do not be too fast.
John Roper, who killed Sam Steele
the student in the Agricultural Col
lege, as told Of in last weeks LBER
AL, was tried last week and convicted
of murder in the first degree. His at
torney moved for a new trial, which
motion was overruled and Judg,
Seeds sentenced him to be hanged Of
April 18th. 1t appears that Rope
was the cowboy who killed old Pat De
vine at Hachita one Fourth of July
few years ago. Old Pat had in a pa
triotic way got a beautiful jag on ant
laid down beside the saloon to sleep i
off. Roper saw him and began shoot
ing at him to see him jump. Devin
never jumped, he died. Roper wa
one Of the gang Of fellows who d.
cided that no sheep should be brougb
into Graham county, and to enforc
the decision killed four or five Mex
can sheep herders who brought i
ome Luckily for him young Bircl
field was in his party and Birchheld
father, in order to save his son had
put up enough money to clear the re,
of the gang. If nothing unforesee
happens Mr.. Roper will do no mol
shooting.
