The Evidence at the Inquest on Tyler
Showed Him to be a Bad Man.
County Attorney Belden was inter.
viewed by the ARGUS reporter on his
return from the inquest at Gilt Edge
and said that the evidence given by
those who were acquainted with Ty-
Ter showed him to be a desperate
character ana it was only owing to
Deputy Martins proficiency with
gun that he did not get the worst OF
the encounter.
Nick Welter in giving his tcsti
mony, said that Tyler had been in
his employ Tor some time and few
days before he was killed he had sent
him TO his lower ranch on Dry COW
Ice to dig o Won, thinking that the

make his escape into the bad lands
at the first alarm. He had frequent

the Welter ranch about the Hole-in

thoroughly familiar with the former

was evidently expecting arrest for

EVER THINK ABOUT IT?

 We are living in very rapid ag1 Few of us bother our heads about small things. and so many persons look upon pain. ache or lameness in the back as small thing. They wait for it to pass off, giving no thought to the cause. Remember these important facts, take a mental note Of them for future use, and when the time comes use them. The kidneys are the sewers of the system; they carry off the inn pure matter. but sewers sometimes be- come clogged up. So do the kidneys. The kidneys are located near the small of the back. hence any stoppage affects the back. This means back ache. iama back. weak back and many other dis dressing symptoms. There is lots more to tell on this subject. but we won't do it here. for we want to snow you how to keep the kidneys so the back will have no cause to ache.
 Mir. A. s. Sampson. of 1729 Forest avenue, Kansas City, carpenter and painter by trade. says. Tt is seven or eight years since l first felt the effects of kidney trouble. During that time I have had some very severe attacks. often being laid up for weeks at a time, net able to work at all. I not only had pains in my back. but my head ached so that l thought at times it would split. l doctOred a great deal and use1 every kind of medicine I knew about, but without relief. I finally tried Deans Kidney Pills and l think I owe my life to their use. I continued the treatment until I had taken three boxes, when the pains in my back were removed. my appetite returned, and my whole system was regulated"

BOYS SET RIVER ATTIRE.
Leaky Oil Pipes Make Fun for Young
 sters Along Susquehanna.

Wilkesbarre, Pa. April IA mum ber of farmers boys are having lots of fun and causing not little excite mcnt by setting the Susquehanna river on fire at points between Meehoopany and Tunkhannock.
 \ break in the oil pipes of the United States Pipe Line company occurred in Meehoopany township. near the river, and the oil which did not soak into ;he ground went into the river Many plao es where little eddy makes back water. and in spots where there is but q slight current. the oil has formed a scum on the water. The farmers boys have disoovc' ed it. and also that a piece of burning paper thrown on it will set the surface of the river ablaZe for a few minutes. They have been trying this since at spots along the river to the great amusement of them selves and the fright of the old pen- pie.
