DEVELOPS INTO MURDER.
Ashael Dunton Dead at East Sullivan,
N. H.-StiII Mystery.

Keene, N. H, Sept. 22.-The trrible
assault on Ashael Dunton and Mrs.
Malachi Barnes at East Sullivan,
Saturday night last, developed into a
murder, tonight, through the death of
Mr.. Dunton, just before midnight. The
aged farmer did not regain conscious
ness after having his brains well nigh
battered out by the assassin, and died
without giving any clew as to the per-
petrator of the deed.
The police after waiting nearly two
days in the hope that the brief and
somewhat contradictory statement of
Mrs. Barnes might be made sufficiently
clear through a short period of con-
seriousness on the part of Mr.. Dunton,
as to lead to an arrest, gave up such
hope, today, and turned their attention
to a rigid examination of such facts
and cleWs as have already been COL
lected.
brother and sister of Dunton visit
ed the hospital, today, and the brother
added new feature to the case when
he insisted that at the time of the as
sault, Dunton had been robbed of a
pocket book containing $1,000. He saws
that he knows his brother possessed
| between $4,000 and $4,000, that he carried
two pocketbooks, one of which con-
| tanned ten 500 bills. This pocketbook
has not been recovered.
The neighbors agree that quarrels be-
tween Barnes, his wife and Mr.. Dunton
had been frequent and that one &C.
CURED, Saturday afternoon. The quar-
rel continued as the men went to sup
per. An hour later the assault in
which Mrs. Barnes was terribly beaten
and Dunton pounded into insensibility
took place.

The people on this earth are susceptible to some
laws which govern plant life. A plant cannot be
successfully grown in the dark. man is seldom
healthy and strong who lives in the dark or in sun
less rooms After all, Natures ways are found to
be the best. A man who lives close to nature in
Gods free air, in the woods fields is usually
healthier man than the one confined in factory or
workshop. Natures remedies are always best for
eradicating disease, and by this we mean a medicine
made of plants and herbs. The American Indians
have known for centuries of certain roots and herbs
that were useful in curing disease.
Get as near to Natures way as you can. There S
reason. Vegetable foods are the best for the body
III health. The human economy dgests and assimi-
lates them best In disease remedies made entirely
of botanical plants and roots are best and safest for
the system. They assimated in the stomach
and taken up by the blood and are therefore, the
most potent means which can be employed for the
regaining of lost health. Dr. r. V. Pierce, con-
sulting physician to the Invads Hotel and Surgical
Institute, at Buffalo, N v, in many years of eX-
tensve practice found that he could pin his faith
to an Alternative extract Of certain plants and roots
for the cure of all blood diseases. This he called
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. Containing
no alcohol nor narcotics, entirely vegetable this

growing schoolgirls and boys often show impover-

pure blood, nothing is so good as DR.. Pierce s
Golden Medical Discovery. Nothing spoils the red
corpuscles of the blood and causes such paleness of
