was in such condition that we had to keep
her from school and abandon her music les,
sons In fact, we feared st. N1tuS dance, ana
are positive but for an INVALUABLE remedy
she would have had that terrible affection;
We had emp Dyed physicians but she received
no benefit from them The hrst or ias6 a ugnse t
she weighed but IS pounds, and although she
has taken only three bottles of Nerv1ne she
now weighs LOO pounds; her nervousness ana
symptoms of StVitus dance are entirely gone,
she attend, school regularly and studies with
comfort and ease She has recovered complete
use of her arm. her appetite Is splendid, ana no
20 money could procure for our daughter tne
health Dr. Miles, Nervine has brought her.
When my brother recommended the rem,
edy had no faith in patent medicines, ana
would not listen to him, but as last resort
he sent us q bottle. we began giving IL 70

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Ind, April S.-The
jackson brothers, William, Joe and
Jake, who hare gloated over the thrill
ing adventures OF and would become
famous after manner similar to the
James boys or the Dalton gang, rode
into New Rose and announced that they
would take possession. Armed to the
teeth they paraded the streets, shooting
at anybody and everything. The ter
rorized villagers fed In dismay and ter
ror reigned until Marshal McGriffin and
several deputies made an attack, but
they were routed. During the battle
Joe Wright, prominent merchant was
terribly beaten and injured. The officers.
reinforced by q mob of forty excited
citizens, made another charge coon, and
supplied themselves with ropes & to
hang the jackson trio. but the
latter regained their horses, and
after an exciting chase of two
miles, escaped in the darkness. A
running fire was kept up during the
fight, but the villagers escaped with q
few wounds while the Jacksons were
unharmed. Fearful of mob vengeance
should Wright's wounds prove fatal,
the hiding desperadloes have fed the
country.

to languish in jail until the next term
of court Their names are Robert and
Oscar English and Leslie Watson. All
are ranchmen near Kibbey, and it ID
claimed they have been carrying on
operations in that vicinity for some
time. They had became very bold OF
late. They would go out on the range,
and, selecting the most suitable cattle,
drive them into q corral and slaughter
them in broad daylight. Charles Chris
tian caught them in the act of killing
one Of his choice steers few days ago
and at once filed information against
them. From papers found on Leslie
Watson, the youngest OF the trio, 1t is
evident he. comes from good Eastern
family and only OF late operated with
the others. It appears that hts right

an old New York family, They think
