4 Weak
Stomach

Indigestion is often caused by over
eating. An eminent authority says
the harm done thus exceeds that from
the excessive use Of alcohol. Eat all
the good food you want bubdon't over
load the stomach. A weak stomach
may refuse to digest what you eat.
Then you need q good digestant like
Kodol, which digests your food with
out the stomacb's aid. This rest and
the wholesome tonics Kodol contains
soon restore health Dieting unneces-
sary. Kodol quickly relieves the feel
ing Of fulness and bloating from
which some people,suffer after meals.

MOB HANGED
A MURDERER
Body Buried This Morning at
Whitebird COrOners
Inquest Held
Especial to Evening Teller.)

Especial to Evening Teller.)
GRANGEVILLE, June 3-The body
of Thomas Myers who was hung by a
mob near Whitebird last night was
found hanging to a tree not far from
where the dead man was taken from
Sheriff Seay as he was being escorted
70 Grangeville 1t was cut down and
taken to cWhitebird where a coroner's
jury was empanneled ana the remains
were viewed. 1t was shown that the
mob had not riddled the body with bull
let's and that the deceased had dieo
from a broken neck. The inquest was
not completed this morning and the
jury was discharged until several days
later when testimony will be taken. 1t
is thought that the jury will bring in a
verdict when the testimony is all in
finding that the deceased came to his
death by hanging at the hands of un-
known parties" Sheriff Seay arrived
home this morning and states that he
was suspicious before leaving White
bird that a mob was lying in wait to
take the prisoner from him and that
several mobs had been placed at every
road leading towards Grangeville for
the purpose of fntercepting him. 1t had
been whispered around since Wednes-
day night that Myers would be mobbed
and the sheriff. took extra precaution
to have an escort with him when he
left Whitebird and before leaving he
figured out a plan to outwit the mobs
1t was decided to start out together
and when out of sight Of Whitbird the
sheriff and prisoner We're to cut across
| the country. 1t was learned that theii
movements were closely watched and
after the sheriff and prisoner had left
| the rest if the party on horseback they
| were intercepted and the mob imme-
diately ordered the sheriff to hand over
the prisoner. AS there were a half a
hundred rifles pointed at his heart he
had no alternative and after handing
| over Myers to the mercy of the mob he
was ordered to take the back trai
which he did. The sheriff is not in very
good spirits over being outwitted by
| the mob and it was learned today thai
he would make an effort to find the
guilty parties.
Public opinion is in favor OF the mot
| and while the action is deplored the
feeling is that Myers got his just re-
| ward. BrOwnlee. whom he murdered
, recently from ambush. firing on hin
| without warning and killing him in
stantly, was very popular among the
stFkmen of Idaho county and it is con
! ceded that the matter of the nobbine
OF Myers will blow over very shortly

morning very few people attending thu
