ter of congratulations to the manu-

ago, when. our. child was Il baby, he
was subject to croupy spells and we

Remedy in 1887. ana finding it such a
reliable remedy for colds and Group.
we have never been without it in the
house since that time. We have five
children and have given it to all of

feature of this remedy is that it is
not disagreeable to take and our ba-

is not dangerous, and there is 10 risk
from giving an overdose. | congratu-

arrested at an early hour yesterday
morning by Detectives Taylor and Null
cahey and locked up in ''the tanks at
the City Prison. He was out on $1,000
bonds, awaiting his trial on a charge
of burglary in Judge Cooks court this
morning.
The police have suspected that Cur
tin was implicated in the hOldups in
saloons throughout the city. and par
ticuIarIy the one at Thomas d. Muir
phys liquor store at Tenth and Mission
streets a week ago last Monday night,
when the bartender was shot Captain
Martin detailed Detective Taylor to
shadow Curtin, who had a companion
named Dummy" For four nights
Taylor had been shadOwing Curtin,
and from information he received he
was satisfied the suspect intended to
hold up the bartender in NeilI & Simp-
sons saloon at Seventh and Mission
streets about o'clock yesterday morn
ing.
Curtin had been in the saloon of
Meyer COhn at Seventh and Market
streets on Sunday night, and the bar
tender saw him secrete a revolver in
side the top of his trousers. He left
there, accompanied by his companion.
and went to NeiIl & Simpsons saloon
about IL o'clock The time was evil
IDENTIFY not ripe for holding up the bar
tender. and Curtin and his companion
left. Taylor had been notified by
Cohns bartender about Curtin and the
revolver and that Curtin and his com
panion had gone to NeiH & Simpsons.
but while Taylor was teleDhOning to
police headquarters for Mulcahey. Cur
tin and his companion left the saloon.
About 2 o'clock yesterday morning
Curtin. with his companion. dropped
into Cohn's saloon. and something
made Curtin suspicious. He ran out
of the saloon and up Jones street, pur-
sued by Taylor and Mulcahey. He
dropped a handkerchief in his flight.
which the officers picked up. Curtin
turned into Turk street toward Market
and Mulcahey ran down Golden Gate
avenue to- head him of, while Taylor
kept up the pursuit. He was captured
by the two officers on Turk street, near
Mason. When searched two strings
that could be used for tying a hand
kerchief over his face and revolver
were found in his pockets. He re-
marked that he was sorry he did not
let Taylor have it, meaning. that off,
Ger thinks. that he did not shoot HIM.
The Dummy" made his escape.
The crime for which Curtin will be
tried in Judge Cooks court this morn
ing is for entering the grocery and sa-
loon of w. G. Schroeder. 925 Mission
street. on March 2S and attempting 10

struggle and one OF them was shot in
the arm by James Mcmahon, reOmer
in the house. They are Joseph NJ. Wal
lace, SO years of age, and George Lang,
Is years of age.
Mcmahon, who occupies front

lace replied that he wanted his money.
"AH right" said McMahon as he
jumped out of bed, here's my clothes.
and III go into the other room and
get some more money from the old

McMahon knew there was a shotgun
in a room occupied by Mr.. and Mrs
Eugene Wright and he hurried into
their room. He told them there were
thieves in the house and he wanted the
gun. Unfortunately, there were no car
tridges in the house, but Mcmahon was
not to be baked Clad in his pajamas,
he ran out of the rear door and along
Jessie street to a saloon on the corner
of Fifth street. He asked the barten-
der if he had any cartridges and was
fortunate in getting two. He told the
bartender to blow his police whistle
and ran back to the house.
Policeman H. Wilson met Mcmahon,
who told the officer to watch the front
door. while he entered by the rear AS
McMahon entered the house he saw
Wallace coming from the dining
into the Kitchen. Wallace raised his
revolver and Mcmahon responded by
raising the shotgun and firing. Wal
lace threw his left arm over his face
to protect it and received the charge
in the forearm. Wallace turned and
