Catarrh of the Lungs the First Stage of Consumption.
So All M e d c a l Authorities Agree.

Judge Durham, well-known local Judge of Greensboro, Ga., had an exper- fence with Peruna well worth reciting. A report had become current among the judges friends that he was threatened with consumption. It was feared for a time that Georgia was to lose one of it's most prominent and influential citizens.
 It was also reported that the Judge had failed to get any relief from any of the medical aid at his command, that he had made use of the now world famous remedy Peruna, and made prompt re- covery. The affair created quite sensa- tion in medical circles especially, and the many friends of Judge Durham were not only exceedingly gratified at his re- covery, but were enthusiastic in their praises of the remedy that had brought him relief.
 The public importance of the Judge together with the prominence of his many friends, as we'll as the startling and dramatic features of the unexpected eure caused one of our leading news papers to make inquiry into the facts.

ANOTHER rlOONSHINER
In the Toiis-Tom Lynn Arrested at
Hartford. Ark, and Brought to
This City Last Friday by
Deputy Murphree.

one Oh the mo0nshiners who was asso-
Grated with Joe Sartin and Jim Powell
Jr., in running a wildcat still in the
nelghborheod of Goodwin. Ark. WAS
arrested last week by the city marshal
OF Hartford, Ark, a little town near
the line of the Indian territory. upon
warrant issued out of the office of
Justice German, of this city, charging
him with Illicit distIlng. Deputy
Sheriff VIM. Murphree was notified by
the Hartford peace officer that LYNN
mad been arrested and Mr.. Murphree
left last Thursday to bring the prjs.
oaer TO this city. Murphree arrived
with Lynn last Friday evening, who is
now confined in the county jail.
The circumstances which led up to
the arrest of the parties make a very
good story. Some time since the water
tank belonging to the Choetaw Rail
road company at Goodwin needed at.
tention and the company sent an ex.
pert engineer to that place to make the
necessary repairs. The engineer was a
well dressed gentleman and it is
thought the wildcatters took him for a
government spy. In accordance with
TINS belief one of their gang, Walter
Dickert by name, an account of whose
arrest and preliminary trial before
Squire German appeared in a recent
issue of TIE TINES, secreted himself
IN clump of bushes near the railroad,
and Just for spite took shot at the
engineer with Winchester rifle. TAX
Ing note of this hostile demonstration
The engineer reported the occurrence to
the railroad officials at Little Rock,
who III turn referred the matter to the
Federal authorities. The case was
placed in the hands of Deputy United
States Marshal Copeland, of Helena,
and that gentleman, in conjunction
with Deputy Sheriff Murphree and
Constable Sellers, of this city, soon
found out that moonshiner'S outfit
was being operated in the vicinity of
Goodwin. The officers located the still
and destroyed it, in the meantime max
ing good cases against Messrs. Joe
Sartin and Jim Powell, who had their
preliminary hearing before United
States Commissioner Crum at Helena
last Thursday and were bound over to
await the action of the Federal grand
jury.
We understand that evidence against
Powell and Sartin is strong and that
their chances for doing little time for
their Uncle Samuel are very flattering.
1t Is also tho1ght that Tom Lynn
and Walter Dlckert are connected with
the Wild cat gang, besides being part
ners IN the plot to brighten the Choc-
taw engineer. whom they mistook for
revenue officer. Dickert and Lynn
are both guests at the Hotel de Muir
phree in this city, and are being fed
and cared for at the expense of the
government.
There is another member of the gang
yet at large in the neighborhood of
Hartford, Ark and the officers are
confident of landing him at no distant
day.
Mr.. Copeland deserves grea. credit
for his speedy work in this case and
has thoroughly demonstrated his fit
ness for the high official position which
he holds. He has been ably assisted
by the officials of St. Francis county.
