deep cough, and other affections of the
organs of respiration These diseases
can be cured perfectly and permanently

literal sense the full meaning of the
words, where is but step between me
and DEATH" His peril is so tragic in all
its circumstances, so wild in its mountain
setting, that the heart almost stands still
at the thought of it.
But as a matter of fact every man
walks the world with his life in his
hands, and the path of safety is narrow
for his feet.

Makes Safe Escape While at 40
Mile Gait.

Kansas City, Kas., Aug. 30.-Mrs.
Margaret Lewis, who is over 80 years OF
age, was committed to the county jail
Friday for contempt of court. She re-
fused to furnish bond for $3.50, required
bv Judge Fischer, of the district court,
and there was nothing for the court
officials to do but to send her to JAIL
She was not placed in cell, but was
given the use of one of the rooms used
by Oscar Haner, the jailer.
Mrs. Lewis is the wife of Samuel
Lewis. formerly coal dealer but who
three years ago Gotleib Frohwerk began
suit against Mrs. Lewis for the re-
covey of $40, which he claimed was due
him in payment for set of heavy
scales. The suit was shifted from one
court to another, F'rohwerk always Sc
curing judgment. The last trial was
held in the district court and Frohwerk
won. Judgment was entered against
1rs. Lewis, and she was ordered to pay
the money to the clerk of the district
court. Besides the original amOS2r
sued for, Mrs. Lewis was ordered to p-f
about $40, which represents court costs.
She ignored the courts order. Then
Judge Fischer cited her to appear in
court and show cause for not having
obeyed the courts order. The citation
was also ignored About two weeks
Lewis and she was cited to appear for
contempt of court She was in Iowa
at the time. but arrived home last
Thursday. Yesterday Deputy Sheriff
Fred Gleed found the woman at hel
home. She promised to appear in court
so the deputy sheriff left her. She
didn't appear, and Under Sheriff James
Cummins went after the prisoner. He
found her on Minnesota avenue Size
didn't object to going to the district
court
When brought before Judge Fische,
she gave no definite reason for ignoring
the courts order. SO the judge told the
under sheriff to commit her to Jail. He
fixed her bond at $500, but the attorneys
for Frohwerk said they would be salts
fed If the bail was fixed at $3.50 Mrs
Lewis said she would not furnish secur-
fty for her appearance in court; tina,
they could send her to Jail if they want
ed to do it that way. So she was taker
to sail.
l.. c. True and John T. Sims are her
attorneys 1t is believed they will ask

from Texas attacked him, and that the
only part he took in the quarrel was to
prevent the sand house keeper from
striking him. He also says he did not
return one blow and his helper, who
was with him at the time of the trou-
Bile, seconds him in the statement.
When a committee from the boilermak-
the matter, that official received them,
but said that he could not reinstate
Gilman, as he had looked into his case
thoroughly, and believed that he had
been justified in giving the man his
time.
"Thereupon the investigators carried
their protest over the master mechan-
les head to Mechanical Superintendent
JOughinS. The last official met the
men in his Office last Friday night, and
for two hours sat as a member of a
court of inquiry. Gilman and his helper
were examined. as was the roundhouse
foreman, who reported the trouble to
the shop Office the morning after the
fight. All the evidence was taken down
by Mr.. Joughins' stenographer, and is
now being Transcribed. The mechanical
superintendent said he would be called
out of the city for perhaps week, but
he would. give his answer in the matter
before the expiration of that time.
What his answer will be is awaited
