Sheriff Martin and His Deputies

The deputies under Sheriff Martin who
have been indicted for the murder Of
the miners at Lattimer are in an extraor-
dinary posoitiou. They simply obeyed
orders when they fired upon the crowd.
Are they to be made as responsible for
what happened, as the Sheriff who con-
trolled them and gave them orders? The
sheriff alone, it would seem is the one to
hold to account. The deputies were cit
zens pressed into posse service, and
nothing more than the sheriff's instru-
ments in the performance of his duties.

And It's Cure Under the Great Physicians Care

the Evidence of Results
DESCRIBED BY SYMPTOMS.

Hosts of people suffer from the various
malignant poisons in their blood, which
produce or result from catarrh. Many other
persons suffer from nervous diseases, liver
diseases, kidney diseases and skin diseases,
as the result OF irritating crystal poisons in
the blood. A majority OF such sufferers do
not have definite understanding of the
nature OF their affliction. The following
symptoms have been arranged by DR.. Nc
Coy to enable sufferers to understand just
what u is that ais them. Although writ
ten and copyrighted by him, they have been
extensively copied by other concerns with
out his authority. The proper course of
those affected is this: Read these symptoms
carefully over; mark those that apply to
your case, and bring this with you to Doc
tors Mccoy and Cowder.
