ARRESTED FOR PERJURY.
Mike John. the Arabian Peddlcr. Suffer
by Relatives of Murderer Mctzgar.

Miko John, the Arabian Peddlcr, Suffers
by Relatives of Murderer Mctzgar.
Mike John, the Arabian who was such
an important witness in the Bowman
and Metzgar trials, was arrested at
the instigation of Mrs. Metzgar, mother
of George Metzgar the young man who
was tried for the murder of John Mike
The charge preferred by Mrs. Metzgar
Is perjury, in that the Arabian swore
in the Bowman case that he had lost
$50 and his friend, the murdered man,
$75. accusing Bowman and Metzgar Of
stealing the money.
The hearing was before Squire Dav-
idson and Attorney John Shea repre-
scented the defendant and also furn-
ished bail in the sum Of $4,000 for his
appearance at court.
When asked today why he was ar
rested Mike John said he thought It
was meanness on the part Of Mrs.
Metzgar.
He had sworn that It was the man
whose face was turned toward Wilkes
Barre that did the shooting, and In the
Bowman trial he did not know which
had his face toward Wilkes-Barre.

He thought that he could trille with
disease. He was run down In health,
felt tired and worn out complained Of
dizziness, biliousness, backaches and
headaches. His liver and kidneys
were out of order. He thought to get
we'll by dosing himself with cheap
pills. And then came the ending. He
fell victim to Bright's disease! The
money he ought to have invested in a
safe, reliable remedy went for tomb.
stone. The thought that killed this man

HAS killed OTHERS.

Statistics show that 90 per cent. Of
the deaths from pneumonia, Brisht's
disease and similar complaints are
caused from arrangements Of the liver
and kidneys. These great organs keep
the blood pure and in healtllful motion.
When they get out Of order the blood
becomes poisoned, the circulation i'm
peded and the whole system speedily
breaks down. 1t is

petrator' Of the deed. As he was con-
vlcted Of murder in the second degree
only, the board win be asked to COM

plication also declares that In the ex-
tension Of the executive clemency re-
quested the sentiment of the people OF
Luzerne would be respected.

DIR. W. c. CRACRAFT
Had Very Narrow Escape from Death
at Elm Grove, Last Night.


DR. Will c. Cracraft, of Elm Grove,
had a very narrow escape from death
last night and is to-day suffering from
numerous bruises and bumps, as a re-
suit of his dangerous experience.
About ten o'clock last night a B. &
o. train stopped at the Elm Grove sta
ton, and as the pike was blocked an
opening was made between the cars at
the crossing sufficient to allow teams
to pass DR.. Cracraft drove up in his
new phaeton as the opening was made
and after waiting till the cars had ap-
parently settled in their places, he
started to cross the track. When the
buggy was directly between the rails a
movement of the engine drove the cars
together and the rig was caught and
crushed DR.. Cracraft escaped with his
l:fe, but the margin Of safety was very
small.
