The BoIdest Crime Ever Committed In
Portland.
Charles B. Malarkey, an assistant in
the office of his father, Charles NAL
arkey, county treasurer, was shot down
Saturday afternoon in Portland by a
murderous assailant, the vault robbed of
all its valuable contents, and two hours
before the atrocious crime was discov-
cred, the thief and would-be murderer
escaped.
The time of the shooting was about
80 p. m. after the young man had
come from dinner. A stranger came in
while he was alone in the Office and
asked to haye $40 gold piece changed.
Malarkey went to the vault, opened it,
got SO in gold and So in silver, and had
turned around to walk back to the
counter, when he was surprised to see
the man inside the railing, close behind
him, and he was ordered to throw up
his hands. The boy tried to rush past
the robber when he was shot. The
bullet entered his right breast above the
nipple and ranged outside'of the ribs to
1t was nearly two hours after the shot
before the-deed was discovered. No one
entered the treasurer's Office until about
3 10 O'Clock when the boys father ar
rived, and not knowing anything about
the tragedy, almost stumbled over the
body of his son. The young man lay on
his back in front of the vault, his feet
toward the open doors. His father
thought that he had tainted, and hastily
kneeling by his side said:
''What is the matter, my son?'
''Im shot, papa,'' was the reply.
Scarcely believing what he heard, Mr..
Malarkey said, "Oh, 1 guess not-but
who shot you?'

Charley, "but he robbed the vault
Meantime Mr.. Malarkey had opened
the young mans coat, and found his
clothing saturated with blood. He
shouted for assistance, and in very
short time the whole building was in an
uproar of excitement. Surgeons were
sent for, and.the wounded youth was re-
moved to his fathers residence.

1t covers good deal of ground-Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
And when you hear that it cures so
many diseases, perhaps you think s.its
too good to be true"
But its only reasonable. As blood
cleanser, flesh builder, and strength re-
storer, nothing like Discovery is
known to medical science. The dis
eases that it cures come from a torpid
liver, or from impure blood. For everv-
thing of this nature, it is the only guar
anteed remedy. In dyspepsia, bilious
ness; all bronchial, throat and lung af-
fections; every form of scrofula, even
consumption (or lung-scrofula) in its
earlier stages, and in the most stubborn
skin and scalp diseases-if it ever fails
to benefit or cure, you have your money
back.
