MESSRS. SOL WORMSER AND JOE TOWNSENDE ENGAGED
 IN A FIGHT.
NO ONE SERIOUSLY HURT
During the Melee a Pistol Was Dis charged.---An Officer Stopped
 the Fight.

Last night Messrs. Joe Townsend and Sol Wormser, former Little Rockians, but now vel! known resi- dents of this city, were participants in controversy which finally led to blows, and during the melee a pistol was discharged and then an officer arrived and placed both men under arrest before further damage could be done.
 The affair took place in Lou Owens saloon on Barraque street, where Wormser is employed as bar tender.
 The cause of the controversy could not be learned as there were only a few people in the saloon at the time.
 From the unconfrmed reports on the streets today, 1t seems that after Wormser struck Townsend, he (Town send) drew his pistol and struck Wormser over the head with the weapon. From the force of the con- eussion the weapon was discharged, after which, as stated above, an of ficer placed both men under arrest. The friends of both parties are many in this city and regret very much to hear of this almost fatal affair. Both men will haze hearing in the pc lice court this afternoon at o'clock

of His Mother.

Kansas City, Sept. 26.-John Post, alias
John Ryan, and Andrew Hatch, alias
Oscar Heath, are under arrest here charg-
ed with robbing freight cars. Post will
be taken to Portland, Or, where he is
wanted for extensive robberies perpetrat-
ed upon the Northern Pacific company.
He will be held for robberies committed
here.
Post was captured through the shad-
owing of his mother, Mrs. Ryan, by the
detectives, who believed that her son
would be in communication with her.

method of the robbers has been to break
into cars en- route, throw the plumber
out between stations and gather it up
later with wagons. Their. operations are
said to have been very extensive.

Medford, Ore, Sept. 27.-The greatest
mining excitement ever known in south
ern Oregon has been caused by a rich
strike just reported to have been made in
the Siskiyou mountains, one mile from
the jackson county line, in California,
on what is known as Sterling butte.
William Angle and Jordan Brown are
the alleged discoveries. They came to
Medford last night, claiming TO have so
pounds of gold dust. They say they have
been prospecting for about six weeks,
and struck the pay dirt two weeks ago.
They have taken out about 60 pounds of
gold. and are enthusiastic as to future de-
velopments The mine is said to be 1900
feet above sea level. The altitude will
make it impossible to work there more
than a few weeks longer this winter but

in the vicinity within the next few weeks

SINGULAR STATEMENT.
From Mrs. Rank to Mrs. Pinkham.

The following letter to Mrs. Pink
East Susquehanna Ave, Philadelphia,
Pa, is remarkable statement of re-
lief from utter encouragement. She
says:
never can find words with which
to thank you for what Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound has done
for me.
"Some years ago had womb trouble
and doctored for long time, not see
ing any improvement. At times
would feel well enough, and other
times was miserable. So it went on
until last October, felt something
terrible creeping over me, knew not
what, but kept getting worse. i can
hardly explain my feelings at that
time. / was so depressed in spirits
that did not wish to live, although 1
had everything to live for. Had hys-
terra, was very nervous; could not
sleep and was not safe to be left
alone.
Indeed, thought would lose my
mind. No one knows what / endured
continued this way until the last
of February, when saw in paper a
testimonial of lady whose case was
similar to mine, and who had been
cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta-
BILE Compound. 1 determined to try it.,
and felt better after the first dose. /
continued taking it, and to-day am q
well woman. and can say from my
heart. Thank God for such a medi-
cine"
Mrs. Pinkham invites all suffering
women to write to her at Lynn, Mass. +,
for advice. All such letters are seen
