Cured Of Chronic Disrrhoes After Ten Years
OF Suffering.

II wish to say few words in
praise of Chamberlain's Colo,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, F"
says Mrs. Matte Barge, of Martins
vile. Va. II suffered from chronic
diarrhoea for 10 years and during that
time tried various medicines without
obtaining any permanent relief. Last
summer one of my children was taken
with cholera morbus, and procured
a bottle of this remedy. Only two
doses were required to give her en-
tire relief. then decided to try the
medicine myself, and did not use all
o. one bottle before | was we'll, and
have never SINCE been troubled with
that complaint. This remedy is for
sale by all druggists.

The highwayman fired several shots
at Mrs. Spencer, but she had been OIL
her guard since the receipt of a lol OF
threatening letters by the members OF
her family, and fired 1T her assailant,
probably %woundiEg him.
Mrs. Spencer drove alone from the
Hartwell home to New Milford in
the morning and deposited a sum OF
money in the bank there. While driv
ing home a mar who rescmbled a
tramp in dress emerged from Il thlcket
and grabbed her horse 10y the bit. The
animal reared, whereupOn the maj
shot twice at Mrs. Spencer. Neither
shot took effect.
The highwayman then went back to
the wagon and seized Mrs. Spencer by
the wrist, evidently with tic intention
of robbing her Of whatever valuables
she might have. The woman pulled a
twenty-five calibre revolver from her
pocket and shot the ~highwayman. She
believes the shot took effect in his left
breast. The MAI Immediately returned
the fire, the bullet grazing Mrs. Spen-
GERS left shoulder and burning a snail
hole in her dress. He then ran into the
woods.
Mrs. Spencer drove back to her
fathers home, secured a rifle, and re-
turned to New Milford and notified the
authorities Of the crime. The highway
man got about three hours start. A
posse heavily armed. headed by the
Rev. Mr.. Spencer and including every
officer and constable in New Milford,
went out in quest Of Mrs. Spencer's
asSailant.
Most of those who participated in
the hunt returned to New Milford at
night empty handed. 4 supposed trail

road TO the woods.

told to the authorities by Miss Calvin,

she was stopped on the same road that
morning by a man answering the de-
scription Of Mrs. Spencer's assailant
who asked, "Are you Mrs. Spencer"
Miss Calvin answered that she was
not. and the man let her drive IN.
The Rev. Galen c.. Spencer, when
asked about his wife's bravery, said:
II am not surprised to hear that she
hit the highwayman, but l wish she
had had a larger revolver with her.
She is an expert shot with a rifle,
and when she was in charge Of a lonely
school ONE years ago I taught her
how to shoot with Il revolver. 1 got
her a large one, but she could not

N. J. LIFE SAVER DROWNED
Misdirected Zeal Causes Tragedy at
Atlantic City.
Bathers Seize Life Line and Pull Him to
Shore, Dragging Him Under the
Water Which Fills His Lungs.

Atlantic City, N. J.-AlfreG Davis, q
veteran Of the Life Saving Service,
was drowned in the surf here through
the i%ll-advised effort Of a large crowd
of bathers to aid him. Davis was him
self endeavoring to rescue two men
who were being swept to sea, when,
through the efforts Of the crowd, he
lost his own life.
The first Of the two men to %endanger
himself was James RGwley, a clerk in
the st. Charles Hotel. He Is q good
swimmer and ventured out beyond
a sand bar which has recently been
thrown up by the sea, and between
which and the shore the more timorous
bathers find it pleasurable to linger.
When he had reached a point about on
a line with the end of a long pier near
by, he was caught in a powerful eddy,
and was being rapidly carried away
from the shore. In response to his
cries for help Life Guard George B.
Conover had gone to his rescue.
C%onover, realizing that the line at
tached to the life buoy was not long
enough to reach to Rowley, detached
il. He then ran with the buoy across
the sandbar and, plunged into the surf
with it. He was soon alongside Of
Rowley, and there began what ap-
peared to the bathers and others on
the shore q hopeless struggle on the
part of Conover to get R0wley in.
Soon it was feared that both men
would lose their lives.
Davis took q hand in the struggle
at this juncture. He cut loose the
life line entirely, tied one end Of it
unGer his arms. and sprang in, deter
mined to aid his fellow-guard and the
man whom he was endeavoring to
save. Before he reached the two
men, however, a boat manned with
more life guards had reached and
saved Rowley and Conover.
AS Davis was about to turn back,
either because it was supposed that he
was now himself in danger, or merely
prompted by q desire to get him to
shore more quickly, some one grabbed
the end of the line which was still
floating between the sandbar and the
shore and started to run toward the
beach with it. In another minute q
horde of men and women bathers had
hold Of the rope and were Fastening
shoreward. Davis was drawn in so
rapidly that he was rendered helpless,
and his body was under water much
of the time.
AS he was dragged upon the beach
4 cheer went up from the crowd.
Those who had helped pull him in. as
we'll as the onlookers, thought that a
splendid rescue had been achieved.
They were soon undeceiyed. Davis was
motionleSs. Efforts to revive him
failed. The speed with which he had
been dre through the water had
forced the ar into his lungs and
through his ulouth and nostrils With
such force as to choke him.
