Thrown from His Cab and Killed.

The following is most interesting
and, in one respect, pathetic tale:-
Mr.. j. Pope, AZ Ferrar Road, Streat,
ham, England, said:
Yes, poor chap, he is gone, dead
horse bottled, thrown off his seat on
his cab he was driving and killed
poor chap, and good sort too, mate.
1t was him, you see, who gave me that
half bottle of st. Jacobs Oil that
made a new man of me. Twas like
this: me and Bowman were great
friends. Some gentleman had given
him bottle of st. Jacobs Oil which
had done him lot of good; he only
used half the bottle, and remembering
that / had been martyr to rheuma-
tism and sciatica for years. that had
literally tried everything, had doctors,
and all without benefit, became dis
couraged, and looked upon it that
there was no help for me. WE'LL" said
Pope, You may not believe me, for
it is miracle, but before had used
Jacobs Oil which poor Bowman gave
me, l was well man. There it is,
you see, after years of pain, after us
ing remedies, oils, embrocations,
horse liniments, and spent money on
doctors without getting any better,
was completely cured in a few days.
1 bought another bottle, thinking the
pain might come back, but it did not,
so gave the bottle away to friend
who had a lame back. l can't speak
too highly of this wonderful pain
killer"

arrived home Friday, after five months
absence in the New England states, en-
deavoring to raise additional funds for

effort has not been entirely successful,
though he hopes to win out before the

Omaha, Neb., Nov. 9.-The jury in the
case of James Callahan, after being out
thirty-six hours, brought in verdict,
finding the defendant not guilty, and the
prisoner was discharged. This is the
last echo in the Cudahy kidnapping case,
and Callahan is acquitted of the kidnap-
ing charge.
1t was said that there was little to
prevent Pat Grove from coming to
Omaha. The evidence on which Gala
han has been tried would probably pre-
vail in case of Grove being tried on the
same charges, and County Attorney
Shields gave it as his opinion that Grove
would now return.

WILL BE ARRESTED.
Defaultins Finance Keeper Of the Tent Of the
Knights Of the Maccabees.

NuSutS W sssS s"sSSeOSSss
Port Huron, Mich, Nov. Sit now
transpires that the Fidelity and Deposit
Company, of Maryland, which carried
the bond of Charles d. Thompson, the
self-confessed defaulting finance keeper
of the Tent OF the Knights of the Macca-
bees, although being released last July,
is still liable for any loss which the lodge
may have sustained by the defalcation.
Representatives of the company, it is
said, have informed Maccabee officials
that the loss will be paid. Therefore it is
now probable that Thompson will be
arrested without delay.
The heaviest loss, it is said, fails upon
the Maryland Fidelity Company, as
Thompson's defalcations since August,
when the National Surety Company
assumed the risk, were comparatively
small. 1t is announced that Thompson s
shortage was sec, 900 instead of $57 900.
All data concerning the embezzlement
are in the hands of the bond companies,
and orders are being awaited from head
quarters.
