gaining in the public estimation in
consequence of the exactions of

Congress may find some way to eff

wa. a ouein sabe case whether be would
live or not. Dear old friend. l knew
him in the early SOS. His father was
a doctor. and Ben was born in Sinaloa,
but raised in Alamos, Sonora. In those
DAYS before the railroads, the great
robbar band was led by PurnalI, who
was one OF the hardest men this
country has ever known. He had two
hundred men and his band roamed
from Sonora through Sinaloa and uP TO
chihuahua. then into Durango and
Zaca,ecas. and va tch for the silver
bullion trains that carried treasures
from the mines 10 the railroad. The
Mexican government. after years Of
hard fighting, finally succeeded in kill
ing the chief. Bernall, and later the
gang was killed of and broken up.
Ben Hill had five horses loaded with
silks and one mule with silver. which
he was taking from the coast to his
partner in the interior. His men con-

but the pistol, like the Winchester
was empty. The man called to his
men to stop shooting. and they gather.
ed around the poor wounded fellow,
who had put up such a plucky fight.
The man who stopped the shooting
proved to be the robber chief, Bernall.
He told Hill that he had earned his
life, and further said that he would
save him. Ben had done some wonder
ful work with his gun. Fifteen robbers
were dead and eight others wounded.
The chief said Il will deliver your
goods aud money safe at their destina-
ton, aud by I'll save your life if
possible After examining Ben's
wounds they found that eight shots
mad done damage, and three had gone
through his side. He had been hit
four times in the face. The tree which
sheltered him was shot full of lead.
He had been touched by bullets six
teen times and the holes in his clothes
could hardly be counted. Bernall
made camp, dressed Hills wounds and
buried the dead. Then sent to the
nearest town for a doctor and medi-
cine. for which he paid the doctor
$4,000. He sent the goods through to
Ben's partner, and when Ben was able
to be carried they took him on litter

GOOD BYEl SMOKE HOUSE.

The smoke house always was a
source of worriment. vexation and
expense, anyhow. When it catches
fire let it go up in smoke. There's
a better way to smoke meats. That
is by using Krauser's Liquid Ex-
tract of Smoke. It's been gaining
in all parts of the country for sew
eral years past and there is no longer
any doubt. that it is driving the
smoke house out of business.
Krauser's Liquid Extract of
Smoke is made from selected hick-
DRY wood. It is applied to meat
with a brush or sponge. It contains
the same ingredients that preserve
meat that is smoked in the old way.
1t gives the meat a delicious, sweet
flavor and gives perfect protection
against insects and mould. It is
cheaper and cleaner than the old
way. Information concerning it's
use, cost, etc., can be had by writ
ing to the makers, E. Krauser &
Bro, Milton, Pa.
