identity and went boldly up and in a
collected way nodded his head and re-
marked. Hello! What in the world are
you doing here? You are the last per-
Son in the world 1 expected to see In
this part of the country"
At this Durham smiled and quietly
observed that he was "just around"
well, you don't intend to stay here
long, do you?" persisted the San Diego
man.
"Oh, no, not very" replied Durham.
Say, Dunham, what in the world did
you kill those people for?" continued
Goldthorpe.
AT this question the murderer started
and paused for moment before reply
ing. Finally he said: well, you see,
Goldthorpe, my wife was all the time
nagging and worrying me, and she new
er would give me any peace. You know
how she did when we were in San Diego.
She bothered and quarreled with me,
and then her people took it up and they
made life hell for me there, and at
last got tired and so desperate that l
started in and just cleaned out the
crowd"
Just what method or manner Dun
ham took to exterminate the objects of
his hatred Goldthorpe cannot say. Dun
ham did not volunteer any further in
formation on the subject and as Gold
thorpe was perfectly satisfied at the
way affairs were going he decided to let
well enough alone and not press the
man any further on what was appa-
rently a sore subject with him. Then,
too, Durham still continued to retain
Goldthorpe at the business end of re-
volver, and the latter in consequence
could not help thinking of his waiting
errand to the store. His embarrassment
continued, but finally Goldthorpe de-
cided to make a break, and he observed
to Durham that he guessed he would be
gonig. The fugitive made no objection
to this, so Goldthorpe got into his buggy
and drove awey. Goldthorpe told no.
body of the occurrence, but on his return
kept sharp lookout for the companion
Durham, and though he has since made
trips to that section of the country has
never seen nor heard Of the Santa Clara
murderer. 1t is thought now by the Of
ficers here that Dunham has left this
part of the country and is in hiding in
South America.

trouble is not due to tumors, growths or

Never do. Their methods are thorough,

The next step, having found that the trou-
BILE is not all in the stomach, is to correct
all errors in diet. This is accomplished by
noting the action Of the different foods
whether they sour or ferment or distress
the stomach, etc.
The next step is to bring the organ and
its digestive power into full action. Every
thing that hinders the free action must be
removed. The catarrhal scum that lines
it's walls, the little plugs of mucus and
matter that stop up the mouths of the
glands which secrete the gastric juice
must all be carried off, and the membrane
must be healed and cured of its inflammed
character.

Uniform Divorce Laws

Next to uniform law of marriage, a
uniform divorce law is to be desired. Under
the constitutional requirement that each
state shall give due credit to acts of an
other state, the existing condition of our
marriage laws causes lamentable uncer-
tainty in matters that closely affect the
well-being of society. Certain states refuse
to recognize divorces obtained in other
states on the ground that lax marriage
and divorce laws are menace to the fam
lily relation.-San Francisco Bulletin.

CALIFORNIA OPINION
Valid Marriage Ceremonies

The essential parts of any marriage are
the taking of vows, the recognition Of the
fact by the public that those vows have
been taken and the living up to those vows
afterwards by the parties to the transac-
tion. There being no reason why the cere-
mony now decided to be insufficient should
not possess all these qualifications all such
contracts entered into in the past should be
legalized at the first opportunity. Then
If it be not the part of wisdom to permit
this practice, in the future let it be for
bidden.-Bakersfield Californian.

Stomach bloat is another common trou-

few yards. at least. With a broken
back he could still struggle; but he
lay perfectly still. It was no easy task
to get down to him, for he lay on q
slide of shale which was Just about as
