Solved the Riddles.

| People going home to lunch at noon
bination of signals and yells which came
from the alley on Wyoming street back
of the Thornton hotel.
At first II was impossible to tell where
the frantic screams had their origin, but
at length a wig-wag from very SINAI
piece of white cloth announced that the.
sufferer was trying to catch the atten't
tion of someone from one OF the win
dows of the Thornton.
Clerk" came the voice. go call the
clerk. for Heavens sake"
Soon a crowd gathered. All kinds or
conjectures were offered as TO the pre-
dicament of the owner of the voice and
manipulation of the piece of white calico.
Webster to Rescue.
Some suggested fire others were con-
fldent that the man-fnr such the voice
proclaimed 1t to be-was a graduate
from some jag cure institute who dis
covered that he wanted a drink
Meanwhile somebody ran in and told
Frank Webster that there was a man
with wheels making a very pronounced
signals of distress from one of the win
dows over the alley.
Taking one Of the revolvers from the
drawer and calling on two Of the bell
boys and the porter to follow him with
whatever munitions of war they could
lay their hands on, Webster jumped into
the elevator with the air of a man who
was going to face danger and fear not
provided the other fellow didn't have
gun.
Along the corridor Webster stole,
glancing determinedy at his trusty
weapon, while the bell-hops followed at
respectable distance with an eye to
making safe getaway if necessary.
Picturesque Profanity.
AS the reconnotering party reached
the room from whence screams were be-
coming more vigorous, Webster took one
last look at his pistol and shouted over
the transom:
I'm the name of Judge Clancy, Peter
Breen, Jimmie Reynolds, Teddy Roose-'
welt and the County of Silver Bow, l call,
on you to surrender"
After each name Webster made
punctuation mark with the butt of the
pistol on the wainscoating
Then there came a volley in return:
no black powder and steel-coated bullets
but volley of the most artistic and
vigorous epithet that ever marked the
fury of an indignant man.
Let me out of this Internal bath
room in 10 seconds, or I'll set fire to the
house
"Ive been here three hours and have
just 20 minutes to catch my train"
Whence the Flag
The bell-hops retired in confusion
Webster smotheied a smile, opened the
door with his pass key and diplomatl-
| caly explained to the man that all he
| had to do was to turn a certain handle
and make his escape
AS the imprisoned and still indisnan,
guest stole back TO his room, il was
noticed that there was about two sauare
feet absent from the night garment o;
| the retreating figure.
Missing was his wig-wag flag.

Believing She Seeks to Injure
Some One-She Tells Story

Someone either attempted to poison
Mrs. Dolly Thayer who lives at No. 31S
South Main street, by sending her fruit
saturated with poison, or the woman is
working a clever ruse to implicate some
one against whom she harbors q deep
seated hatred. The police are inclined to
the latter theory.
Mrs. Thayer. who sometimes takes the
name of Mrs. Walter Fair, the latter
the name of man with whom she says
she has been living, called at police head
quarters last night She carried I'm her
hand small packag. containing two
oranges, several figs and a few p.eces of
candy.
She said that the fruit and candy were
filled with poison and that the package
had been sent to her last Thursday even.
ing. with the evident purpose of killing
her.
Poison in Fruit.
City Physician Sullivan examined the
stuff this morning, and while he did not
make an analysis. he said that he was
satisfied that the fruit and candy had
been poisoned.
When seen by reporter for the Inter
Mountain today, Mrs. Thayer said that
messenger boy raped on her door
ABOUT D CLOCK last tuesday evening ana
left the package. There was no note
in the package and nothing to indicate
who had sent the fruit and candy.
This morning ! sent for the messen-
ger boy who delivered the package" said
Mrs. Thayer. He is one of the World
messenger. The boy told me that Thurs
day evening a messenger call came from
No. 3S West Park street, and "A man gave
him the package to deliver to me-
Police Say Hoax.
When asked the name of the messen-
ger boy, Mrs. Thayer said she did no.
know his name nor number.
The boy said he could identify the
man who gave him the package to de-
liver TO me-" continued the woman.
Although she does not directly accuse
him. Mrs. Thayer says that several
weeks ago she and Walter Fair had
trouble and they quit"
The police are inclined to deprecate
the story told by Mrs. Thayer, and UP to
noon today had not investigated the case
so the woman says.

A JUDGES WIFE pz. sSs5 a,1 q
She Suffered for Years and
Felt Her Case Was Hope
less-Cured by
Peruna.

Mrs. Judge McAllister writes from
1917 West SSrd St., Minneapolis, Mimi,
as follows:
al suffered for years with q pain In
the small of my back and right side.
1t inferfered often with my domestic
and social duties and never supposed
that I would be cured, as the doctors
medicine did NOT seem 10 help me any.
"FOrfunafe!y q member of our Or
der advised me 10 try Peruna and gave
ii such high praise that I decided to try
ii. Although I starred In with little
faith, felt so much better in q week
that I felt encouraged.
al took 1t faithfully for seven weeks
and am happy indeed TO be able 10 say
that am entirely cured. Words fail
10 express my gratitude. Perfect
health once more is the best thing I
could wish for, and thanks to Peruna
I enjoy that now, "---Kinnie e. Meal.
lister.
The great popularity of Peruna as .
catarrh remedy has tempted many peo-
pie to initiate Peruna. A great many
so-called catarrh remedies and catarrhal
tonics are to be found in many drug
stores. These remedies can be procured
by the druggist much cheaper than Pc
runa. Peruna can only be obtained at
a uniform price, and no druggist can
get it a cent cheaper.
Thus it is that druggists are tempted
to substitute the cheap limitations of
Peruna for Peruna. 1t is done every
day without doubt.

mny be disposed of as such.
