Eir. Charles stanwood Assaulted by
Highwaymen.

Mr.. Charles Stanwood, the well known
Commercial shipsmith, was on his way
home to Deering, Friday night, just after
six O'Clock. He was in his carriage and
his horse was going at a comfortable jog.
1t was quite dark as the sun had Sit some
time previous. All at once piece Of gas
pipe whizzed through the air and struck
Mr.. Stanwood, a glancing blow on the
face, but with sufficient force to knock
him out of the carriage. The horse,
fortunately, did not run, and, almost at
the same instant that the affair occurred,
d team came along. Probably this cir
cumstance frightened away the would-be
robbers. The occupants of the other
wagon helped Mr.. Stanwood up, put him
in his carriage, and saw him safely on
the way to his house. Mr.. Stanwood was
able to be out on Saturday, although he
had suffered very severe blow on the
head. 1t is thought that the miscreants
knew that he had on his person valuable
gold watch and about fifty dollars in
money and made their plans to lay for
him. MIR. Stanwood is quite advanced

A YOUTHFUL BURGLAR.
Breaks Into Several Stores in Thomas
Block.

Merchants Couldn't Tell Their Losses Last
Night-Only a Little Property Removed
Lad Tells All Sorts of Stories.
Yesterday afternoon several persons saw
young man emerge from the Thomas
block ON Commercial street under circum-
stances that led them to believe that
robbery had been committed. They noti-
fled the police office and Deputy Marshal
Sterling put Officers T. o. Bonner and
Sylvester on the case.
The officers made an examination OF the
block and found that some one had sue
ceeded in opening the rear window OF the
store in the block. numbered 1926 and
occupied by Mr.. Blake as O. storehouse.
In this store there was nothing to excite
the cupidity of burglar but once inside
the building he was enabled to 60 up to
the roof and down into the big store of
Elias Thomas & Co. wholesale grocers
that is numbered 114.120.
What he took from the Thomas store
was largely matter of conjecture last
evening. The proprietors out of SO large
a stock as they carry, could not tell last
night. 1t Is known, however. that a box
of cigars that was afterwards found
secreted by the burglar in an old stove in
the rear o. Carriers junk store, Is the same
brand as the firm carry, and the burglar
had in his possession bicycle that the
firm claims was taken from their store.
After going through Elias Thomas &
Co. IS the burglar entered Burgess, Fobes
& Co., large paint and oil warehouse, in
the same way that he broke into the other
stores. The firm couldn't tell what they
had lost, if anything, but think they
would know today.
The officers satisfied themselves that
only one person had been concerned in
the break, and from the description given
and other clues, arrested. Patrick Feeney,
aged about nineteen years, who resides at
No. 1, corner Fore and Silver streets and
recovered the bicycle. Feeney told all
manner of stories, one of which was that
he bought the bicycle of the pawn broker
for half dollar. The place where the box
of cigars was found Is very near the rear
of the Thomas block. Today Feeney will
be brought up In court. He has been
pulled in before on charge of larceny. ).

"A LITTLE SUFFERER

Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
ScrofuIous Humors How a Cure
Was Effected.
"When five years old my little boy had
scrofula on his face, hands and arms. It
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his cheeks and hands were very bad.
It appeared in the form of red pimples
which would tester, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
to be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed at his condition. My
wife's mother had had scrofula and the
only medicine which had helpd her was
Hoods Sarsaparilla. We decided to give
it to our boy and we noted an improve
ment in mis- case very soon. After giving
him four bottles of Hoods Sarsapar1lla
the humor had all been driven out OF his
blood and it has never since returned"
