MACHINE THAT DID THE WORK
Same as the One That Killed Two Men in
the Vindicator Mine.

Cripple Creek, Col. June T.
The Internal machine with which
the diabclical work was done consist
ed of u quantity of dynamite, Csti-
mated at 1O0 to 800 pounds. loaded
revolver. and Il long, slender, steel wire
ran from under the station to the crib
bing Of the DelmOnico property, about
400 feet away, where its end was fas-
tened to Il rung of a chair. The dyna
mite was placed close to the muZZle
of the revolver, which was discharged
by pulling the wire when the engineer
blew bis whistle. The ball from the
revolver exploded the dynamite.
\ man was seen running down the
hill from the Delmonico after the eX
plosiCi. The Victor troops, who We're
ordered out by Mayor French. were so
stationed as to keep people from pass
ing over the path taken by this man,
and hlOOdhOunds We're sent from Can
on City and Trinidad for the purpose
of trailing the assassin. The Internal
machine used was similar to the one
exploded in the Vindicator mine on
Nov. 21, 1903. killing two men.
BY order of Mayor II. \. Nay
Tor. of the National Guard, the bodies
were removed from the coroner's Is
tabliShment TO another undertaker's.
This action was taken on request Of
J. :. Murphy. superintendent of the
Findley mine. because it was alleged
that Coroner James Doran had re-
marked before the discovery Of the i'll
fernal machine that the death of the
men was due to an accident. Later,
Coroner DOran explained that although
he had spoken Of the disa ster as an
awful accident" he was convinced
that a terrible crime had been com
mitted.

Buxton, N. Oak Sept. II Especially
MIR. B. L. Skrivseth of this place has
been added to the steadily growing fol-
lowing that Dodd's Kidney Pills have
in this part of the country.
Mr.. skrivseth gives two reasons for
his faith in the Great American Kidney
Cure. The first is that they cured his
wife and the second is that they cured
himself.
81 must say" says Mr.. Skrivseth,
"that Dodd's Kidney Pills are the best
remedy for Kidney Trouble ever knew E.
My wife had Kidney Disease foi years
and she tried all kinds of medicine
nom doctors but it did not help her
any. An advertisement led her to try
Dodd's Kidney Pills. The first box
helped her so much that she took eight
boxes more and now she is cured.
81 also took three boxes myself and
they made me feel better and stronger
in every way"
Dodd's Kidney Pills have never yet
failed to cure any kidney disease from
Backache to Rheumatism, Dialects or
Bright's Disease.

When child had a very severe at
tack of Diphtheria, which came near prov
ing fatal. Upon recovery the glands of the
neck were very much enlarged, and after
the free use of iodine, the right one was
reduced to its normal size, but the left
one continued to grow-very slowly at
first, until it was about the size of a goose
egg, which began to press on the wind
pipe, causing difficult breathing, and be-
came very painful. An incision was made
and large quantity of pus discharged.
The gland was removed, or as much as
could with safety be taken out. For ten
years wore little piece of cloth about an
inch long in my neck to keep the place
open. During this time had to have it
cut open by the doctor every time took
cold or the opening clogged. In the Spring
or early Summer of 1884 was persuaded
