further the work will help to start a
first-class shipbuilding plant at Sand

pair work on ships has now to be done

their material costs too much. On the

Catarrh Poisons.

Catarrh Poisons.
Catarrh is capable of changing all the
life-giving secretions of the body into
scalding fluids, which destroy and in
fame every part they come in contact
with. Applications to the places
affected by catarrh can do little good
save to soothe or quiet disagreeable
symptoms. Hence it is that gargles,
sprays, atomizers and inhalants only
serve as temporary relief. So long as
the irritating secretions of catarrh con-
tinue to be formed &c long will the
membranes continue to be infamed 4,
no matter what treatment is used.

Almira, Wash,-Judge J. A. Lewis, a
pioneer 76 years old, and his aged
wife were murdered in coolest blood
by unknown robbers who, after
struggle, Drained the old man with an
AK and then murdered the wife by
beating her to death with a club.
The double murder was as coolly
planned as it could possibly be, and
the object was doubtless robbery, as
the judge was worth $40, 900 or s25, 0OO,
and was supposed to have money in
the safe which he kept at his coun-
try home, five miles southeast of here.
The theory is that the terrible
crime was committed by some visitor
who came on the guise of doing bust
ness, as the safe was found open, and
had evidently been unlocked by Mrs.
Lewis, as she alone was able to work
the combination. The hand of the
aged Judge. palsied with age, was una
BILE to turn the tumblers successfully.
The crime was discovered by o. j.
Williams, tenant of the judges, who
found the judges body.
The job was evidently planned with
the utmost care, for the back door had
been barricaded by a table and two
chairs piled against it. Lying on the
floor was bloody ak. The judge had
been pounded to death with the blunt
side of it. Evidently after completing
the search the robbers went out tbs
front door, locked ii behind them anc
disappeared.
Before leaving, however, the rob
bers went to the corral, where Mrs
Lewis had been milking the cows, an6
waylaid her with a club. There wa
evidence of fearful struggle, but a
last the poor old woman was beatel
lifeless and her body was buried un
der a heap of hay and snow in tn
center of the corral. Her body form
ed the little mound which William
saw on Saturday.
Judge Lewis was a pioneer OF tn
Big Bend, and was formerly a probat
Judge here. He owned two sections Q
land. There are no children. ID
Lewis of Wilbur is a brother of tn
dead Judge.
