BURIED ALIVE.
An Oregon Mans Horrible Death in an
Entombed Casket.

Portland, Ore, Special San Francisco Call.
A horrible tale of living inhumation
came from juneau, Alaska, in a letter
received by George p. Writ, of this
city. The victim was Carlton II.
Wells, who left Southern Oregon al
most two years ago for the Arctic gold
fields, where, after accommodating a
fortune Of $4,000, he was to all ap-
pea.ances stricken down with heart
disease In juneau last May. Just prior
to Wells apparent death he forward
cd the bulk Of his little fortune to his
wife, now living in Trenton, N. j.,
whittier he was bound when life's cord
was snapped asunder.
A little more than q month ago the
undertaken who attended to the burial
of Wells received a letter from his
widow asking that the body be ex-
humed and shipped East for perma-
nent interment. The instructions we're
being complied with when the CHASTITY
discovery INSTRUCTED their execution.
When the coffin containing Wells
body was opened the remains were
found to lie In a cramped position
with the face turned toward the side
of the coffin. Closer inspection show
cd beyond doubt that Wells had
awakened from a death-like trance
after burial. In the right hand, of
which little more than the bones re-
manned, was clutched a gutta percha
plate bearing three false teeth, which
in his agony Wells must have torn
from the roof of his mouth. Near the
place where his right jaw rested in
the coffin was found q plain gold ring
which the deceased had worn on the
fourth finger of his right hand.
In view of this horrible discovery
the undertaken and the doctor who
attended Wells decided not to send
the remains East unless forced to do
no by legal process. What excuse
they have formulated to appease the
widow ia not known.
MI. Wirtz says that Wells formerly
lived in Calaveras County, CAL, and
once resided In Virginia City, New.
While he was in Southern Oregon his
wife sojourned the greater part Of the
time with friends In East Portland,

DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery is not called a consumption
cure; it is a blood maker. 1t gives
energy to the blood-making organs to
create new blood, full of healthy, red
corpuscles. This rapid supply of pure,
rich, red blood drives out all diseases
that have their roots in the blood.
Consumption is one of these ;scrofula,
malaria, eczma, erysipelas, catarrh-
are others. 1t is absurd to doctor
them separately as lung, or skin, or
head diseases. They must be driven
out of the blood. You can rely on the
"Golden Medical Discovery to do
this every time. 1t is not a patent
medicine. 1t is the perfected result of
80 years practical experience by one
of the most skilled physicians and
eminent medical authorities in this
country-Dr. r. v. Peierce, Chief
Consulting Physician to the Invalids'
