Doan's Kidney Pills get inside.
They cure sick kidneys.
Here is Leon proof that this is so:
w. f. Cox farmer living three miles
north Of Leon says: 81 fell and strained
my back years ago and to that l attri-
butte the attack of aching which follow
ed. Not only were they evident in my
back but they extended clear to my
shoulders and around the side. When
in the acute stage could not stoop or
even lift a pound and after any sudden
or awkward movement | was always re-
warded with sharp eXcruciating twinges
which to even check resisted all my
efforts and my knowledge of medicine
acquired by reading or which my friends
advised. | used porous plasters and
other makeshifts but the benefits re-
cieved were very transitory. l heard
about Doan's Kidney Pills and went to
Van Werden's drug store for a box.
The use of three boxes positively prov
ed to me that the remedy was what can
be depended upon. | honestly believe
that Doan's Kidney Pills as medicine
for the kidneys is unexcelled."

SHOOTING IN KENDALL.
Bill Reed Goes on Warpath and
Wounds Bert Wareham.

County Attorney @. w. Belden
went over to Kendall this morning to
participate in the preliminary hearing
of Bill Reed, who will be arraigned
before Justice Jackson on the charge
of committing an assault with dead
ly weapon.
Last Tuesday afternoon about 1870
Bill Reed and his brother went into
Kendall from the ranch Of Oscar
Stephens, where they were working,
and proceeded to hunt up Wilbur
Moore, toward whom they had a long
standing grndge. They found him
working at his trade on new house
which was being built, and after few
words a fight ensued and Bill Reed
got decidedly the worst Of the encoun-
ter The combative Reed then went
away and remained good until in the
middle Of the afternoon. when he
went into the saloon of Reed and Mil
lard. where they had seen Moore en-
ter and said he was going to do things
to Moore. He pulled gun and was
about to Use it Oh his enemy when
Bert Wareham. who happened to be
standing near, rushed in to prevent
Reed from shooting. The two men
clinched and in the scutfle the gun
was discharged, the ball entering
Wareham's right side and passing en-
tirely through his body.
Seeing that Wareham was shot, sew
eral others in the saloon knocked Reed
down and dragged him out of the
place. When the confusion had sub
sided somewhat it was found that
Wareham had a rather nasty wound
and that Reed was considerably
knocked about. Reed was too badly
injured to be brought to Lewist own,
so Deputy Sheriff Whitcombe kept
him under watch in Kendall. Both
men recovered rapidly and are able to
he out at this time. although Reed
still presents a more or less uncomely
appearance.
Accounts differ as to whether or not
the shooting of Warel am on the part
OF Reed was intentional. Some state
that he was so enraged at Wareham S
interference that he shot intention
ally. while others hold that his shoot
ing OF Wareham was entirely acct
dental.

put the revolver away where she
thought no one could find it, but the
son found the hiding place of the gun,
as the one with which he killed HIM
self was the same that his mother Sc
creted. Mason was at the county fair
Thursday and seemed in better spir-
its than for several weeks.
That night his father was feeling
unwell and had occasion to leave the
house, passing by Mason's room. When
heyreturned he told his wife that Ma
son was sitting on the edge of the bed.
That was about $50 in the morning.
A half hour later Mrs. Gudgell went
to his room to see if he was asleep.
She found him lying across the bed
with no cover over him. She placed
her hand under his head to place him
in a better position, when to her hOr-
ror she felt a pool Of blood. She
screamed and her outcry brought her
husband and Night Watchman Wal
ter Gooch. who happened to be in
that part of the city. When Mr..
Gudgell reached the room he found
that his son was dead, although the
body was yet warm. No one had heard
the report, which must have been
mutlied in some manner. The bullet
passed entirely through the unfortu-
nate mans head and was imbeddcd i'm
the opposite wall.
Acting Coroner Mcfarland impan-
eled coroner's jury, who viewed the
remains early Friday morning and
held an inquest at 10 O'Clock, the
usual verdict of suicide being re-
turned.
The funeral services were held Sat
urday afternoon from the Gudgell
home, the Rev. w. A. Winters con-
Quoting the services, which were held
under the auspices Of the Redmen
lodge. Interment was made in the
city cemetery.
Mason Gudgell was born near Chill
licOthe, Mo-, 3S years ago, and almost
half OF that time has been spent III
the west He has followed the occu-
patton of ranching and prospecting fol
several years, and owned an interest
in some valuable mining property in
| the north MOccasin mountains. re
his aged father and mother, his sis
ters and other relatives and friends
the Democrat extends sincerest con.
dOlence.

SUICIDE OF MASON GUDGEll.
lewistown Young Man, Desp0ndent
from III Health, Shoots Himself.

Mason Gudgell. the son OF Mr.. and
Mrs. Robert Gudgell Of Fourth ave-
nue.. committed suicide by shooting
himself through the head with 40
caliber Colts revolver about 1 O'Clock
Friday morning. Dependency, re-
sulting from long-continued iil-health
is supposed to have been the cause OF
the desperate act Of the young man.
No one heard the shot which killed
Mason. although his mother father
and sister were in the house at the
time.
The young man had been in very
poor health for several years and not
long since gave his revolver to ms
mother. evidently fearing that i'll a
moment of desperation he might co
some injury 10 himself. Mrs. Gndgeii

Notes of the Fair.

The candidates were all there with
the glad hand and handsome smile.
Irene Desy had four heads of cab
bage the aggregate weight of which
was l35 pounds.
Much satisfaction was expressed by
all at the action of the fair officials
in barring all sure thing games and
other gambling layouts from the
ground.
The Power Mercantile and Montana
Hardware companies had their special
hall filled with articles from these two
popular stores and had the building
arranged so as to present a most ar
tistic appearance.
There was very little if any kicking
against the starting by Reuben Col
lins. Reuben is an old hand at the
business and performed his difficult
task in the fairest possible manner,
there not being more than one poor
tart in the three days.
Lou Myers broke the ice and exhib-
tied some hogs for the first time. His
exhibit consisted of a fine Poland
China SOW and nine pigs. This ex-
hibit was greeted with pleasure by
the many natives Of the corn states
of Illinois. Missouri, Kansas. Ohio and
Iowa.
+. ID. Barney of Deeriield, as usual,
had a big display of vegetables. His
display contained "a entries which
gives some idea of the variety of pro-
duets which can be raised in Fergus
county. Each specimen was almost
perfect. Mr.. Barney carried away II
first premiums and ! seconds. His
display Of celery was especially good
some of the stalks measuring 30 inches
He had one cucumber which was Il
inches long.

Redmen of America their sincerest
thanks for the kind services rendered
during the dark hours following the
death of their son, Mason Gudgell.
