DROPPED DEAD.
While Trying to Separate Two Fight
 ing Dogs.

PUTIN BAY, O., Aug. 17.-William Axtel, of North Bass Island, adjoining here, ran to separate two dogs that were fighting, and just before reaching them he dropped dead. The dogs fin ished the fight. He was a man of about 70 years of age, and had lived on these islands longer, perhaps, than any other resident. Two years ago in December his wife died very suddenly. While out sleigh riding she complained of feeling badly, and her friends re- moved her from the sleigh and she ex- pired five minutes later. They leave a family of three children in comfort able circumstances. Many Cincinnati fishermen will remember these people, as they always made Uncle William A0tel"s place their headquarters while
 fishing here. He kept excellent wines of his own vintage.

A. D. Childress Again in
 Trouble.
From Bank President to the
 Wine Business.
Criminal Libel Charged by the Wife of Ills Employer-A Man of ..
 Many Difficulties.

The San Francisco Call of Friday contains an article about A. D. Chil- dress, formerly president of the de- funct City Bank of Los Angeles, from which the following extracts are talk en:
 Criminal libel is charge that A. D. Childress, formerly president and manager of the now defunct City Bank of Los Angeles, will probably be called upon to answer in addition to the ac cusations that were recently laid against him by the w. "A. Vandercook Wine company After the failure of the Los Angeles corporation and the subsequent legal difficulties in which Childress and his associates became in volved over the transactions he came to San Francisco and in January, 1895, became identified with the W. A. Van dercook Wine company in the capacity of secretary.
 Up to August of last year Mrs. W. A. Vandercook, who was one of the principal shareholders in the company, was satisfied.
 "One day when I asked to see the books, however" says Mrs. Wander cook, "Childress refused me any in formation and I began to be suspicious I insisted on a detailed statement, tell ing him that I thought he had drawn more money than he was entitled to. This he admitted, promising. how ever, not to take more until profits had accrued, so that he could do so under the terms of his agreement
 'sThen he threatened to wreck the business if I made any further com plaint. He left the company, taking with him lists and addresses of our numerous eastern customers and en- tered Harris, Kingston & Co.'S, a com peting house on small scale, getting into that firm through his knowledge Of the Vandercook company.
 Nnhen he wrote to our agents throughout the country on the sta tionery and over the signature of Har- ris, Kingston & Co. in such vindict- i've and hbelous manner that several of our agents sent the letters to us, ad- vising us to prosecute him for crimi- nal libel. I thought until the latter part of his connection with the con- pany that he was an honest man, as he was plausible and was always talk ing of his own honesty and the dis honesty of southern California people dn general. At any rate he must set. tie with the courts for taking the money
 Since coming north IA D. Childress has been in minor as we'll as majol legal difficulties, being fined recently for assembling a boy who came to hi. home to claim a dog he had lost.

JUDGE tBETHUNE.
An Effort Being Made ito Have Hiu
 Supplanted.

An Associated Press dispatch from Tucson says that Judge Bethune of this district and associate judge of the supreme court of Arizona has received notice from the department of justice of request for the appointment of his successor on the grounds of his ina bility to perform the duties of the court. Judge Bethune has demandeE that an examiner be sent by the de partment of justice to examine into the facts. It appears from the court records that he has disposed of more than three times as much business or cases during the last two years as did his predecessor in the two previous years, and in fewer years of court Judge Bethune's administration of his court seems to be very generally ac- ceptable to the people of the entire district and the majority of the mem bers of the bar as we'll as to the su- preme court.

 1 There were stormy scenes st the house when the three widows met, but | grief made com panions of them The funeral took place on Thursday 1 afternoon and at the grave three | widows saw the remains of George w Cornwell laid at rest in Cypress Lawn cemetery. The funeral was under the auspices of the Locomotive Engineers
 association. Mrs. Cornwell did not visit the house, but was in attendance at the grave. Of the three women the one who had known the deceased long est the San Jose widow'') was the most visibly affected. At the hall of the Brotherhood of Locomotive EngI
 neers, Sixteenth and Valencia streets,
 on gazing upon the features of thg dead, she became wild with grief, while
 Mrs. Parker and Mrs. Cornwell were,
 of course, greatly affected also. The
 people who were there say the scene
 was the most pathetic that they had
 ever witnessed

If yonr stomach poisons your liver the
consequences may be serious.
What poisons arise in your stomach come
from undigested food which has decomposed

to your liver, where they paralyze its functions
and make you bilious.
Finally they go into the blood again and are
carried all over the body, disordering
your differentorgans, and perhaps making you
dangerously sick.
This is the origin of many diseases which are
always known for WI at they are.
The poisons of undigested food can ony be
got rid of by the use of purifying, strengthen

To the PRESS reporter Mr.. Curry said: :
"Jos Patchen will be driven by ma on

the track was not in its best condition
he went quarter in 30 IA If he could
do that today he will do much better on

not retard his speed, as he swept through
