THEY CHARGE INJUSTICE
A Complaint Against the Building
Inspector and Police.
Mr.. and Mrs. Clemmer AIIege That
the OF iceEs Have eDscriininated
Against Them.

Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Clemmer, of No.
124S II street northeast, allege that
they have been unjustly dealt with by
the building department of the District
Their complaint involves the difficulty they
experienced in obtaining a permit to con-
struct a COW shed and fuel shed on their
premises, and the subsequent arrest of
their two boys, Who were at work upon
the building.
In statement which Mrs. Clemmer has
furnished The Times, she says an ap-
piication was made to the building in
spector for a permit to erect a one-story
frame building, 20X30 feet, with GU
pola. After several interviews and
good deal of delay, she alleges, neceS-
stating a consultation with the health
officer, permit was given them, which
was marked 80. K" by an official of
the health department.
She alleges that the permit was not
read by either herself or her husband,
they supposlng, upon the admission of
the officials that they were entitled to q
cow she'd. that they were given the nee
y
needed Their two sons proceeded to
construct them, and as they desired q
place for their COW. they laid the foun-
dation for little larger she'd than was
called for, but not occupying as much
space as two would-the permit upon in
spection proving to be for but one.
Tie building was permitted to proceed,
Mrs. Clemincr says, until the shed was al
most completed, when policeman ap-
peared and demanded to see the permit
He did not then tell the builders to quit
work pending an investigation, but in
the afternoon of the same day he returned,
and after engaging in friendly conver-
sation. suddenly grabbed the eldest son,
and without exhibiting warrant, or
saying that he had one, proceeded to
drag him off to the box
Mrs Clemmer asserts that the officer
used insulting language to the boy, and
tried his utmost to arouse his anger.
Subsequently, she says, the officer re-
turned, accompanied by another policeman
s'under the pretence of measuring the
shed.'' and, waiting until her other sou
stepped out into the alley, he arrested
him also, and the two boys were subse
aueutly required to deposit So each as
collateral, before they could leave the
station-house.
1t is alleged by Mrs. Clemmer that they
received orders to tear down the shed
and that they did so, at loss Of several
hundred dollars. They were informed
by Inspector Brady, she says, that if thcil
shed was taken down all others of
similar character in that vicinity shoul,
also be condemned, but she says no other!
have been disturbed.
The facts, she says, were laid befor,

instance, but no notice has been takel

Whitton, the young Washingtonian, who
with a companion, named Morgan, resisted
arrest, at Salesville, Mont, recently, and
in the melee which followed, shot, and
esriously injured Deputy Sheriff Allen, Of
Bozeman where the young men lived, is in
receipt of letter which throws some light
on his share In the trouble The letter
arrived in answer to a communication, sent
by Mrs Whittun recently TO the proprietor
OF the Bozeman Hotel
Mrs. Wilton was ignorant OF ner sons
difficulty at the time of writing Her
letter of inquiry was published iii the
Bozeman Chronicle, together with en- ac-
count of the Morgan Whitton escapade
She has received letter from Horace T.
Kelly, of Salesville, Mont, as follows:
Dear Madam: In the last issue OF the
BoZeman Chronicle j noticed letter or
inquiry from you concerning your son,
Harvey. ! thought that any information of
the particulars OF his misfortune might be
of interest to you. l have known him for
eighteen months, during which time he
has been industrious, peaceabie, and re-
spected. This trouble was not occasioneu
by any misdemeanor, other than that he
he chose to stand by his partner. who had
gotten into some slight neighborhood trou-
bic. Harvey took a neighbor's horse and
saddle, but returned it the next day, and
saw the horse in his owners possession
myself today. The difficulty, as perhaps
you know, occurred on the 18th instant,
when in attempting to arrest them shoot
ing occurred, in which the deputy sheriff
was wounded The only worry you need
have is that Harvey resisted an officer.
He committed no other crime"
Mrs Whitton has telegraphed repeatedly
to the police authorities of Bozeman, but
further than that has received no reply

INTERESTING EXPERIENCE
OF an Iowa Lady Who Was Cured of
Dyspepsia After Suffering for
Tyapfp.fjye Years

Mrs. Sarah A. Skeels, an estimable lady
residing at Lynnville, Jasper Co, Iowa, was
for twenty-five years sufferer from Dys-
pepsia, and her complete restoration to
health is so remark able that we present the
facts i'll the case for the benefit of our
readers, many of whom have doubtless
suffered in the same manner and will,
therefore, be Interested in learning how
all stomach troubles may be avoided and
cured. Mrs. Skeels says: II used only
one package OF Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
and | received such great and unexpected
benefit that l wish to express my sincere
gratitude. In fact it has been six months
since | took the medicine and l have not
had one particle of distress or difficulty
since. And all this in the face of the fact
that the best doctors l consulted told ME
my case was incurable, as l had suffered
for twenty-five years. ! want half a
dozen packages to distribute among my
friends here who are very anxious to try
this remedy. Truly yours,
MRS. SARAH A. SKEELS.'
The reason why Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets are so successful in curing indigestion
and stomach trouble and the reason why
it never disappoints those who need it and
use it is because nothing is claimed for
it except what it will actually perform.
1t is not a cure-all and no such claims
are made for it, 1t is prepared for the sole
purpose or curing dyspepsia ana the varl-
Gus forms of indigestion.
There is scarcely a patent edicine made
but what is claimed to cure Dyspepsia as
well as q hundred other troubles. When
as u matter OF fact remedy to cure Dys-
pepsia must be prepared especially for
that and nothing else; and among all the
remedies, patent nostrums, bitters, ETC.,
SO extensively advertised you will find
that Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the
nflU ann q a cnh n For
pepsia and nothing else. The remedy
is prepared by the Stuart Co., Of Marshall,
Mich, and for sale by all druggists at so
cents per package, and il you suffer from
any form of stomach arrangement or indi-
gestion trial will not disappoint you.
A little book on stomach troubles mailed
free. Address Stuart Co., Marshall, Mich.
