.DAUCH7RY IS DEAD
Victim of the Sampson
County Desperate.
Gautier is Now in Atlanta Federal
Prison---WiII be Brought Back
Here and Tried for His
Life.

The life Of w. A. Gautier is now hang
ing in the balance.
He is the Sampson county desperate
who shot Deputies A. L. SurlS and B. z.
c. Daughtry when they went to arrest him
under a Federal warrant for destroying
rural route mail boxes.
Daughtry, who is q deputy, was hhot
IN the stomach This was reported as be-
ing probably fatal injury and such it
has proved, for Daughtry died yesterday
morning about 1 o'clock at his home il
Sampson county.
Daughtry is reported to have been q
most honorable and highly respected cit
izen. He went with Deputy Surls las
Wednesday night to arrest Gautier, a no.
torioUs outlaw. While they were III the
room Gautier leaped from his bed and
began shooting. Sudls and Daughtry
rushed on him and while Sudls was slight
ly injured Daughtry was shot in the
stomach and was taken to his home.
Gautier was brought here and put on
trial for destroying mail Doves. He was
sentenced to three years in the Federal
prison in Atlanta, and two days ago was
taken there to begin his sentence.
But he will be put on trial for his life
and this trial will take place in the State
and not in the Federal courts, and the
process viii be as is usual in such cases.
The crime OF murder being a greater
one than hat for which Gautier is con-
victed, ne will be placed by the Federal
authorities in the hands of the State Off
GERS and will be tried for his life in Samp
son county probably at the next term of
court
Gautier says he was half-crazed by NOR
phine whe nhe was aroused by the men in
the house talking to his wife, and hearing
them ask where he was thought they had
come to rob and murder him. Fearing
this he says he seized his pistol and be
gan to shoot.

A GREAT TRUTH
How It Spread From Home to Home
 in Arizona

In every part of Phoenix; in the homes of the wealthy, in the humble abode of the man of toll, 'tis now well-known fact-a great truth-that Doan's Kidney Pills have brought more comfort to backache sufferers and cured more sick kidneys than any medicine of modern times. Read this:
 Mrs. Ysabel Moreno, of 97 South Main St, Tucson, AriZ., says: "I suffered more or less with my kidneys for near ly six years, indicated by pain through the arms, shoulders, across the small of the back and down through the loins l knew it was of a rheumatic tendency but what to do to stop it was mys- tery. During the entire winter of 1902 I was miserable and constantly on the outlook for some means to check the trouble. Reading advertisements about people who had been cured by using Doan's Kidney Pills influenced me to go to a drug store for a box. followed up the treatment by using second and a third when the annoy ance ceased. l gave Doan's Kidney Pills a thorough test and l know from the results obtained that they can be depended upon"

GOOD ADVICE TO LABOR.

There is much sound sense in the an- nual address delivered by President Lynch at the convention of the Inter- national Typographical Union, now in session at Washington. Mr. Lynch de- preciates the tendency of certain un- ionists to make light of organizations of employers and cautiously suggests that it might be better to display a tolerant spirit toward them. in the hope Of establishing friendly relations be- tween employers and employed. It IS safe to say that a little additional eX- perlence will cure the element adfhoh- lshed by MT. Lynch of the tendency
 in question. The employers are thor oughly in earnest and they mean 10 as sert and defend their legitimate inter- ests. Organized labor will hencefofth have to reckon with organized capital
 Intelligent unionists see with Mr.
 Lynch that they cannot deny to others the rights they claim themselves and'
