OUTLAWS on TRIAL.
The Ku Klux Gang from Letcher Coun
ty, Kentucy, Before the Courts.

Roanoke. Va, September IA spe-
cial from Pineville, Bell county, Ken
lucky. which adjoins Virginia says:
The Ku Klux gang of outlaws which
were captured in Letcher county a
few days g and brought to this place,
are now OIL trial for a number of crimes,
such as murder, highway robbery and
attempting to wreck trains.
The trial of this gang was transfer
ed to this place from Whitesburg, KY,
the county sea of Letcher county, on
application of the counsel for the defen-
dants. This measure was taken ow-
ing to the intense feeling against the
outlaws in that county. There are
thirteen in the gang to be tried, and the
first case called was that Of Mans
Wright.
This Ku Klux gang is composed Of
Reynolds and Wright factions and have
been operating in Letcher and Bell
counties for several years. Their last
crime was that Of numbering a woman
named Big Wilson in Letcher county.
The last and fourteenth m of
this gang, Morgan Reynolds, is still at
large. Every effort has been made to
effect his capture, but the officers have
thwarted in their many attempts
in this direction. Reynolds is the lead
er of the Ku Klux gang and defies the
officers in their attempt to take him.
The nearest these officers have got to
him was within shooting range of 4
Winchester rifle. Constables are
bringing in witnesses for the common
wealth.

YOUR BLOOD MADE NEW.

Your heart beats about sixty thou
sand times a day. Every drop Of blood
in your veins visits every part Of
your body about five hundred times
each twenty-four hours. Is it any
wonder hat many troubles arise when
the blood is not right?
Is it hard to understand why health
quickly returns when you take a rem
.edy like DR.. Harter's Iron Tonic, a
remedy that purifies and enriches the
blood?
1t does far more than that, because
it is the perfect example of everything
that tonic" stands for. But it would
be a wonderful remedy if it's power to
make red, rich blood was it's only prop
erty. 1t is far better than ~so-called
blood purifiers because it both makes
and purifies the blood.
1t is not one Of the crude forms of
iron that Injuries the teeth and stom-
ach, out a delicate harmless form that
is almost instantly passed from the
stomach to the blood. In the blood it
battles against weakness and disease,
and helped by h other ingredients of
that famous remedy, it rids the sys-
tenn of all impurities and helps each
sluggish organ to do its full duty.
If you have skin disease, rheuma-
tism, stomach trouble, nervousness, or
If o have my reason to believe that
your blood is disordered or that your
health is running down, be just to
yourself and try this remedy.
DR.. Harter's Iron Tonic has for for
ty-ive years been made only by The
DR.. Harter Medicine Co., Dayton, Ohio,
Sold everywhere.

Sinking Ships Boilers.

The reports of the sinking Of the gold
laden steamship Islander of the Pacific
coast of North America a few days &
stated that. as the vessel vent down,
h boilers exploded. Experts In ma
rine engineering say that such an oc-
currence is highly improbable, IL not
actually impossible.
The superintendent engineer OF one
of the largest boilermaking concerns in
The world, a man Of extended sea-go:ng
experience, said yesterday: IT do rot
believe IL Is possible for an explosion
to occur under circumstances like those
which attended the sinking Of the Is
lander. What Is often thought to be
an explosion Is h effect OF the water
getting on the fires.
1t Is not q question Of the rupture
OF h boilers, but rather of the rapid
generation or steam through the sea

teen men who were prospecting for Gin

by A water spout or cloudburst.
The men We're in two parties, camped

as Aliminto creek. in which there had
been no water for fifteen months, on
account of the drought.

ty feet high washed down tie channel of

the two camps before they were aware
Of their danger. All were drowned and

The Aliminto empties into the Rio

probable that the other seven bodies
have been swept into that stream.
