THE NATIONAL GUARD.

The Guard indoor baseball team met
at the armory last evening for prac-
tice and general organization. The in
dieations at present are that at least
three teams from the guard will be
in the field. Both the battery and
signal corps express their intention of
participating in this sport and it is
very probable that other companies
will follow suit. The team representing
the guard in general will therefore be,
as the season progresses, chosen from
the best of the company teams, and
that it will be of the first class is a
fOregOne conclusion.
The hospital corps continues to work
out every Thursday evening and while
the organization is somewhat diminu-
tive in numbers some first class work
Is accomplished. The instruction con-
sists chiefly of lectures along a med
ical line and some litter drill
The different company commanders
are hard at work on their regular semi
annual property returns and the indi-
cations are that the recently appointed
board of survey VII have no small
amount Of adjusting to accomplish.
Three applications for enlistment to
I'LL vacancies caused by recent dis
charges have been posted in the sig
nal corps quarters and will receive the
consideration of the organization next
Thursday evening. The applicants are
L. Thomas, E. Harris and w. Airs.
The officers of the guard are in re-
ceipt of communications from the sec
rotary of the National Guard associ-
alton notifying them of the approach
ing session, which win convene at
Columbus, o., some time during the
present month. The exact date has vet
to be fixed by the executive commit
tee. The statement is also made that
the Dick Dill, which passed the house
by an almost unanimous vote is ex-
pected to receive like treatment by the
senate before the first of January.
Company H was put through very
spirited drill last Tuesday evening.
Sergeants Scott, Woodward and Bas-
sett being the instructors. One of
these ''non-coms" win probably be
chosen to fill the vacancy caused by
wood, and already some friendly ri
valry is manifesting itself.
Acting First Sergeant c. L. Evans of
the signal corps has made application
for two months furlough on ac-
count of leaving town for that length

SCARED THE BURGLARS.
Two Boys Brighten Them Away From
Store on K Street.

Two Boys Brighten Them Away From
Store on K Street.
A bold attempt to rob the store of J..
5. Williams at 40 K street early Fri
day morning was frustrated by the
two young sons of Mr.. Williams, who
discovered and frightened away the
burglars. The boys were asleep lin a
room adjoining the store, but heard
the noise made by the burglars in at
tempting TO secure an entrance.
Stealthily they crept to the window,
where they saw TWO men engaged in
working on the door.
They watched them for some time,
until one of the burglars happened to
glance up and saw the two faces at
the window. With an oath he dropped
his tools and fed, closely followed by
his companion. The children then
aroused their father, who, investigat-
ing. found that the burglars had bored
ten half-inch augur holes below the
latch of the door and had made hole
large enough TO put their hands
through, when the key could be turned
and the door opened without noise.

KNIGHTS CASE
IN The COURTS
Three Suits Brought Against the
Mining Promoter.
CHARGE OF FRAUD is MADE
ACTIONS GREW OUT OF THE INA
COMPANY DEAL.

FOLLOWING the exit from the city
of Charles T. knight. the mining
promoter, three attachment suits,
aggregating the sum of s11.75 were
begun in the district court yesterday by
parties who purchased stock in the
Ina Mining company, which, they
state was sold TO them fraudulentIy
and with the intent TO defraud. Mrs
knight is made a party to each of the
suits, on the ground that the money
accruing from the sale of the stocks
has been transferred to her and that
she at the time was aware that the
money was obtained in a fraudulent
manner
E. B. Hatcher, one of the number
who purchased shares in the bonanza,
prays for Judgment against Knight and
MS wife in the sum of $1,000 with in
terest and costs of the action. 1t is
alleged by Hatcher that Knight was
president and manager of the lima COM
pany, which is the owner Of certain
mining property in Idaho under de-
Yelopment. 1t is further alleged that
the company was Incorporated with p
100000 shares of the par value of 1
cent each.
knight offered the plaintiff for sale
10000 shares on Aug. l, 1902, it is
of $4,000. Knight, it is said, stated at
the time that the company was incor-
porated with a capital stock of 81, 000.-
00o with shares a the par value of 81
each. The statement was made false
", it is stated. and Knight fraudulently
represented that the stock was treas
ury stock ana that the sale was made
solely for the purpose of developing
the property.
On these representations, the COM
plant alleges, the plaintiff purchased
the stock, but he claims that Knight,
instead of using the money as he prom
ised, converted it to his own use. 1t is
then charged that Mrs. Knight re-
ceived the money so fraudulently OBJ
tanned, and we'll knew at the time of
the sale that fraud had been perpe-
trated and that the representations had
been made by the defendant solely to
obtain the money.
In view of these allegations, judg-
ment in the amount of $1,000 is prayed.
together with interest since the 1st Of
August and the costs of the action
George F. Twitchell is another who
went into the deal on the ground floor
to the extent of $4.25O He also pur-
chased the stock at 50 cents per share
and makes the same allegations that
are made by Hatcher. He prays judg-
ment in the amount stated, with in
terest and the costs of the action.
F. S. Morris secured 5000 shares at
the rate of so cents per share and paid
the sum of $500 TO Knight for the
stock. His allegations and charges are
Identical with the others except in
the amount. and he prays judgment of
the court with interest and costs.

But Given Time to Leave Town.

grancy, James Fitzpatrick Murphy
conducted his own defense and brow
beat his accusers. Officers Johnson and
Siegfus, in the most approved legal
style. The officers had testified that
Murphy had been hanging around sa-
looms; that he had not been working,
and that he had no money when ar
rested. Murphy ross-examined his ac-
eusers and then made plea TO the
court
Your honor" he said. these wit
nesses testify that I am vagrant, and
that I hang around saloons. I admit
do this, but neither has ever seen me
drink anything. A saloon is a public
place, and as a free born American
citizen 1 have a right to go into one

worked for a week. / can prove by
Cronin, a boss of the Oregon Short Line
construction gang, that L worked three
days this week In view of this testi-
mOny L asked that the case be dis

Judge DiehI told Murphy that from
the evidence presented he had certain

that If he could produce a witness to
show that he had worked three days
II might MATERIALLY CHdHSS the Sllua-
ton, adding that in this case the hear

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful 1t Is
In Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that car
coal is the safest and most efficient dis
infectant and purifier in nature hut
few realize its value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take of it the better: it is not q
drug at all, but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present in
the stomach and inteStines and carries
them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking, or after eating on
ions and other odorous vegetables
Charcoal effeetually clears and i'm
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural and
eminently safe cathartic.
1t abSOrbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels: il
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another, but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money
is in Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges: they
are composed of the finest powdered
willow charcoal and other harmless
antiseptics in tablet form, or. rather.
in the form of large, pleasant tasting
lozenges, the charcoal being mixed with
honey.
The daily use of these lozenges vii,
soon tell in a much improved condition
of the general health, better complex
ion, sweeter breath, and purer blood
and the beauty of it is that no possible
harm can result from their continued
use, but, on the contrary, great benefit.
A Buffalo physician, in speaking of
the benefits of charcoal. says: II adj
wise Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges TO all
patients suffering from gas in stomach
and bowels, and to clear the complex
ion and purify the breath. mouth and
throat; I also believe the liver is
greatly benefited by the daily use of
them; they cost but % cents a box at
drug stores. and although IN some
sense a patent preparation. yet / be-
lieye | get more and better charcoal
