CHERRY CREEK

Great Indignation is felt among
our citizens that the two robbers
who were recently committed by
Judge Cannon should be allowed
to escape, and no practical effort
made to capture them. So say
many people. It certainly gives

marks. We notice letter OF

business men and taxpayers, and

zens representing the whole
community.

DIDN'T FIND THE BODIES
But Satisfied Themselves That the
RumOrs We're False.

/ posse 0a0 returned from tnelT
chase of the jail.breakers, who
took French leave of the county
bastile on the night of July 4th,
= rumor was circulated about
town that the posse had killed
the two men they were after,
and left their bodies in the hills.
The report gained some credence
! by the remark made by one of
the posse, that those fellows
would never steal any more
horses, and the different stories
told grew in magnitude. till it
was said that even the death
agonies Of the two men were
minutely described.
So intense was the feeling OF
our citizens in this matter, that
on Wednesday night, the 9th
inst. it was decided that search
| should be made in the vicinity
where the Sheriff s posse found
the two horses that had been
stolen by the men on the night
of their escape. During the
night the rumors continued to
grow, and the assertion was
made that one of the Indian
trailers who had accompanied
the Sheriff, was said to have
made the remark, that for $2O
he would show them where the
bodies were buried. And each
story was more horrible than the
preceding one.
However, on Thursday morn

more. with Indian Butch and

Ely determined to satisfy them
\
selves as to the truth of the re-
ports that had been floating
around town. Sheriff Newman
also went with the party.
On reaching the place where
the horses OF the two men had
been found. a careful search OF
the locality was made, but moth
ing indicating that any shooting
had been done, nor was any
thing found that looked like a
new-made grave. But the trail
made by the two iail-breakers
after they left their horses was
found close at hand. and followed
for a distance of about seven
miles. They had climbed up a
steep hill, and where one of them
had made the ascent was up an
almost perpendicular ledge OF
rock, and which one OF the
searching party attempted to
climb, but was unable to do so,
notwithstanding the fact that he
had removed his shoes to make
the ascent easier.
| From the top of the hill the
party could look down on Cleve
Creek, and in the distance could
be seen the Cleveland ranch
which place they surmised the
two men had headed for. That
their conclusion was correct is
verified by the report that the
iail breakers had taken breakfast
at that place on Thursday morn
ing last The report states that
they had reached the ranch early
that morning. While there they
told of their escape from the
Jail, claiming that they had been
placed in there for some minor
offense, and saying that the
Jail was not a fit place for
white man to stay in, and that
they had hammered their way
out with a stove-lid.
Thursday night they camped
with w. A. Butson, at Willow
Patch, near Osceola, and if But
son is to be believed, they give
a ludicrous account of their en-

expecting to get help from the
rancSegs. He returaed after
learning that the fugitives we're
running into q trap, which
caught them.
Mature reflection convinced
our people that the robbers
ought to be brought back to the
people whom they had terror
lied, and there receive just pun
ishment for their evil doings,
and for other reasons not neces-
sary to give to the world, but
perfectly satisfactory to those
who are the best judges. They
were brought back and had an
examination before our Justice
of the Peace, and were by him
committed to the county prison,
there to be kept till the Grand
Jury met nt the next term of
Court.
We felt safe retiring at night
with the idea in our minds that
we were protected by the laws
of our land. Now, forsooth, we
learn, after all the expense, la
Dor and Inconvenience, those
same men are turned loose on
the community, without trial,
to again commit their depreda-
tions and terrorize the people,

to roam, they can catch up the

No! They are tried men and

Many women formerly full Of robust vigor,

Of an unknown cause ignorant Of their real
condition. just when woman should be at
her best she becomes depressed, fretful. nery-

busy planning, has been SO absorbed with
her social duties, her work has been so
continuous, that she scarcely allowed herself
Q moments relaxation. She has neglected
her health and, where her food formerly
seemed to n0urish, now she has hnt little appe-
lite and even what she does eat does not seem
to do any good II you should ask her what
the trouble liz, she would say, q am just
tired out. But the real cause is constipation
and its resulting condition--bad blood. Just
think what habitual neglect OF the bowels
means sickness instead Of good health; ner-
yousness instead Of yigor; cheeTfulness re-
placed by depression, happiness By misery.
A week use of Smiths Pineapple and But

They will regulate the functions OF the liver

women with no color in their cheeks, without

FATAL CASES.
A Public Danger and Why Care Should
b Taken.

Your attention has not been called to
this public danger for some time, and we
believe 1t Is our duty TO inform the people
that the majority Of fatal pneumonia cases
are caused by the patient taking for cold
some soealled cough cure OF .balsam'
which depends upon poisonous drugs for
their effect.
These drugs deadeu the nerves and stop
secretion along the breathing tract, which
is always followed by congestion and hl-
Elimination. That causes pneumonia.
Without these injurious drugs, Father
Johus Medicine cures colds, long-standing
coughs and all throat and lung troubles.
