 MOTHER OF BABY

Sheriff Randy, who is being assisted by Dr. w. P. Shelley in trying to find who left the baby in the woods north of town to meet death by starvation, has unearthed several clues which almost establish the guilt of a woman of bad character who has lived in Oil Trough bottom and cannot now be located.
 Doctor Shelley made search of the ground where the body was found, and about 30 yards away discovered where a willow basket, a woman's belt and an envelope had been practically burned. On the envelope was the word "Magness,' thought to have been her home postoffice,
 On a bottle containing camphor was the sticker of a Sulphur Rock drug firm, Wright & Ow- ems. Sheriff Bandy also found a baby's cap about $50 yards north of this place.
 Negroes l5Tn5 n tae north end of town say ih2y they saw 9 woman carryiag such basket as the burned one was, going tow ard the park Thursday morning.
 Sheriff Randy went to Sulphur Rock Monday morning and is confident he is on the right trail, as the skirt near which the baby was found has been identified as the property of the woman in question.

Chihuahua, Mexico, Oct 21.-Fire
Americans have been killed by bands of
Yaqui Indians in the vicinity of La Bufa.
One of the victims was J.. r. Martin,
superintendent of the Barranca Coal
Company.
The reports of the attacks on Ameri-

son, president of the La Bufa Mining &
Milling Company, whose properties are

The Indians. according to Mr.. Richard
SON, are angered over the encroachment
of white men in their territory, and they
have been killing off Americans when
ever the opportunity came. White men
are now taking precautions to resist the
bands, and fighting between the Indians
and whites may result at any time. The
fve deaths occurred within three weeks.

MUTlLATED BY SLAYER.
Rhode Island Man Killed, Dragged
Over Ties and Almost Disem-
boweled in Minnesota.

Crookston, Mimi, Oct. 21.-As the
story of the death of the man supposed
to have been Thomas Fontaine, OF
Woonsocket, r. l., whose body was
found one mile this side of Mentor,
becomes known, it indicates that a
brutal murder was committed.
Fontaine and Joseph Guilmette, both
of whom came from Rhode Island,
had been in the vicinity of Mentor for
several days. Last Friday they ap-
peared at the Lapage farm, and in a
conversation Fontaine discovered that
he and Lapage came from the same
vicinity in the east and knew many OF
the same people. Fontaine owned a
farm in the east and was fairly well
to do. He carried considerable money,
but the amount is not known.
Monday afternoon the two men were
seen passing along the railroad by sew
eral members of the Mareaux family.
Fontaine later was found beside the
track. A bullet had entered the head
behind the ear, and the body had been
dragged face downward over the ties.
After being rolled down an embank-
ment and dragged into the brush along
the track the remains were almost dis
emboweled.

in turn were repulsed The japanese Inn
mediately followed with another assault,
resulting in the capture Of an iron rail-
road bridge and the heights south Of the
bridge, which is 500 yards from the main
fortress The importance of these caps
lures lies in the fact that they curtaiI
the Russian fire in harassing japanese
who may attempt to advance on the
trenches located on the slope of Rihlung
mountain. This attack seems to have
been a surprise for the Russians, the
japanese claiming that they lost only
SO men. Since the capture of the points
mentioned the Japanese assert that they
have successfully resisted numerou sor-
ties in attempts to recapture them. On
October 13 there was fierce fighting for
several hours on the slopes of Rihlung
mountain between comparatively small
forces, during which the japanese lost
300 killed or wounded.

At ten o'clock on the morning of Oc-
tober IL seven Russian torpedo boat de-
stroyers emerged from the -harbor of
Port Arthur, and later they were fol-
lowed by two more destroyers. This
squadron proceeded to Shaopingtau and
bOmbarded the japanese left flank
Four Japanese torpedo boat destroyers
hurried to the scene and the Russians
retired to the harbor, followed by the
Japanese. The pursuit ceased upon en-
tering the mined area One Japanese de-
stroyer while returninghit mechanical
mine and was severely damaged, but she
managed to reach Port Dalny and is now
being repaired.
1t Is asserted that the Russian force
at Port Arthur now numbers 5000 men,
excluding the militia, which is not en-
gagged in the fighting, but patrols the
streets, doing provost duty, and guards
the arsenals, etc.
The japanese at Taku mountain have
dropped a ceaseless storm of shells on
the Chinese town, and many rifle bulless
also fell in the place. The Chinaman
adds that the fighting was very severe
and that the Japanese loss was consid-

SAFEST FOOD
In ANY Time Of Trouble Is erape-Nuts


Food to rebuild the strength and
that is pre- digested must be selected
when one is convalescent. At this
time there is nothing so valuable as
Grape-Nuts for the reason that this
food is all nonrishment and Is also all
digestible nourishment. A woman
who used 1t says:
Some time ago was very i'll with
typhoid fever, so i'll everyone thought
I would die, even myself. 1t left me
so weak I could not properly digest
food Of any kind and also had much
bowel trouble which left me a weak,
helpless wreck.
II needed nourishment as badly as
anyone could, but none of the tonics
helped me until finally tried Grape
Nuts food morning and evening. This
not only supplied food that thought
delicious as could be but it also made
me perfectly well and strong again so
can do all my homework, sleep well,
can eat anything without any trace Of
bowel trouble and for that reason
alone Grape-Nuts food is worth its
weight in gold" Name given by
Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
Typhoid fever like some other dis
eases attacks the bowels and frequent
~ sets up bleeding and makes them
for months incapable of digesting the
starches and therefore pre- digested
Grape Nuts is invaluable for the we'll
known reason that in Grape-Nuts all
the starches have been transformed
into grape sugar. This means that the
first stage of digestion has been me-
chanically accomplished in Grape Nuts
food at the factories and therefore
anyone, no matter how weak the stom-
ach, can handle it and grow strong,
for all the nourishment is still there.
There's sound reason and 10 days
trial proves.
