Returned to kentucky.

Jasper Collins, sheriff of Lechter county
KY, arrived here last Saturday looking for
James M. Step. citizen of the county
whom he charged with arson and horse
stealing. The sheriff owns q mill at Rock
House, KY, and Step was foreman of a
gang of lumbeImen in the woods near the
mill. Collins and Step had some trouble
about note for $500. and a man named
James Wilson figured in the affair as a
friend of Step. Before the transaction was
completed the sherin's barn was burned
and Wilson was arrested. Step left the
county and the sheriff followed him here.
Yesterday about 9 o'clock Detectives Car
ter and Gallaher surprised Step wnen he
called at the post office for his mail. When
placed under arrest Step made a denial Of
the charge, and said that Oh the night of
the fire he was more than TWENTY-FIVE
miles from the sheriff's property. It is
charged that in leaving the county he took
two horses in order to reach the railroad
station, twenty five miles distant. One of
the horses was found on the road. The
prisoner agreed to return home without
the formality of aoresnisition. and four
hours after his arrest he was on his way
back to Kentucky. r.,

Statements like these appearing herewith today

scientific world.

made known the discovery of his Cure for Deaf
ness. had been of restored hearing under
methods then in vogue, that testimony like this
would have been the subject Of consideration
of the medical profession of the world.
Today IL Il common thing. Week by week.
month by month and year by year. absolutely with
limit have been told these stories Of hearing
restored. until their very number has taken away
the glanor from the marvel
Yet to those still deaf they mean much as
ever, for they point to sure relief from bondage:
and to those gladly tell the story Of restora
tion they mean the wonder of Il new life
These People Were Deaf!
Two years ago all the doctors In christendom
would have told them. almost without exception.
flat they must remain deaf forever.
They Now Hear.
And because they hear none need despair of re-
gaining the lost sense of sound.
