meal and even the lightest food dis.
tressed me. / was treated by several
very able physicians, but grew worse all
the time. In fact, nothing helped me
until tried DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
Chronic indigestion had brought on
a whole train of other troubles. I be.
came nervous, suffered from violent
headaches and billiousness, and think I
would have given every cent possessed
to find relief. But became more mis-
cradle and finally in despair determined
to take southern trip.

SHOT BY UNKNOWN HUNTER
Plattsburgh Man Killed Near Bel ows
Falls.

Bellows Falls, Oct 20,-Fred MacKinar,
an employe of the International Paper
Co. here, who came from Plattsburgh, n.
Y, was shot and instantly killed last
evening. Mackinar had been in the woods
on Mount kilburn during the afternoon
and about dusk on his way home fell in
with Conductor l.. o. Young OF the Rut-
land road The two men walked along
together and just as they were emerging
from the woods, ii gun was fired from the
bushes.
MacKinar received the charge in his
breast and fell dead, scattering shots
striking Conductor Young in the face and
arms.
AS soon as the shot was fred the I'M
known marksman took to his heels and
ran, disappearing in the thick woods ana
paid no attention to the repeated calls of
Mr.. Young. 1t Is thought that the shoot
inr was purely accidental and that In the
dark the unfortunate sportsman hoped to
get away unseen. The North Walpoe au-
thorties have been at work all day but
thus far no trace of the chief actor has
been discoS cred.
