throughout exceedingly close and in
teresting, with no indication as to
who the winner would be until the
end. Both were in fine practice, and
gave splendid exhibition'of the game

nip and tuck between them. Miss
Lloyd won the first set 6-3. Mrs Cur
tin the second GA and Miss Lloyd the
third 1910. The last was deuce set

Trinmphs Of Modern Surgery.

Wonderful things are done for the
human body by surgery. Organs are
taken out and scraped and polished and
put back, or they may be removed en-.
tirely: bones are spliced; pipes take
the place of diseased sections of the
veins; antiseptic dressings are applied
to wounps, bruises, burns and like in
iurles before Inflammation sets in.which
causes them to heal without maturatlon
and in one-third the time required by
the old treatment. Chamberlaln,s
Pain Balm acts on this same principle.
1t is an antiseptic and when applied to
such injuries. causes them to heal very
quickly. 1t also allays the pain and
soreness. Keep a bottle of Pain Balm

Hard Crops.

Turkeys and chickens frequently
eat substances that clog the passage
leading from the crop to the gizzard,
usually dried grass or hay, or 1t
may be old rope, wool, cotton, or
any thing of that character Birds
starve with full crops, and drink
excessively. Finally fermentation
of the contents of the crop takes
place, and the birds die. The
remedy is to make all incision III
the crop, drawing the outer skin
aside, removing the contents, and
probing for the obstruction III the
passage. Sew the skin with SILK,
irving the ends of each stitch to-
gether. Draw the outer skin aside
so that the incision in the outer skin
will not be exactly over that OF the
inner skin. Feed on stale bread,
dipped in milk and squeezed, until
the cut is healed.

JOHNSON MURDER TRIAL
Acquitted on Grounds Of Tenn.
porary Insanity.

The first murder case in Fremont
county for ten years and the second
murder committed within our Dor
ders since Fremont was a county,
went to the jury this afternoon at
5 80 o clock.
On the Dist day OF April, 1904,
at Lorenzo, George Johnson, shot
A. L. Diamond in what was sup
posed to have been drunken row.
Johnson was arrested on the charge
of assault with intent to commit
murder In two days after the
shooting Diamond died and the
charge was changed to that of
murder. County Attorney Soule
ably conducted the prosecution for
the State, and Messrs. Newton and
Millsaps handled the defense. A
plea of temporary insanity was
entered and was proven according
to the verdict of the jury; but on
the outside there seems to be a
great difference of opinion. How
ever, Johnson was acquitted on the
plea of temporary insanity, and he
now goes forth free man without
the slightest stain of guilt in the
eyes of the law. Although A. l..
Diamond occupies six feet of earth
"a lonely spot marked only by a
rough head slab, his assailant goes
free to again become temporarily
insane and perhaps commit a double
tragedy. 1t appears and the fact is
evident that Johnson is a dangerous
man and it was proven during the
course of the trial that he had made
several ''gun plays around
Lorenzo, and had declared she
would clean out the town. y With
all due respect to the jury it seems
that this is premium cn crime,
and our court dockets will soon be
filled with murder cases, and the
assassins may escape punishment
under the plea Of temporary
insanity.

FIFTEEN NON-UNION MINERS MEET DEATH
AT INDEPENDENCE, COLORADO
MANY 0TERS ARE SERIOUSLY INJURED
Militia Called and Martial Law Proclaimed
and Union Miners Come Together, One Miner Being
KiAed--Trouble is Worse Than Ever and Serious
Conflicts Entertained.

NTlpple AIttk, WV, J uuS "
Three hundred pounds OF
dynamite, placed by some unknown
assassins at the Independence
station of the Florence & Cripple
Creek railroad, was exploded at
1926 this morning while twenty five
non-union miners, employed at the
Findley mine, located on Bull Hill,
were standing on the platform,
instantly killing thirteen of them
and fatally injuring eight or ten
others. The mine was discharged
by man concealed in the shaft
house of the DelmoniCo mine.
Sheriff Robertson and the detective
force have found the machine which
set off the dynamite. It consists
of a revolver and three hundred feet
of steel wire. The revolver was
placed underneath the platform
close to the powder. One end Of
the wire was fastened to a chair leg
which was used as lever from the
Delmonico property.
The men employed on the night
shift of the Delmonico mine had
Just finished work and had gathered
on the depot platform to board Ia
train and return to their homes
when the explosion occurred be-
meath their feet, hurting them in
every direction, destroying the de-
pot and rending great hole i'll the
earth.
A special train carrying physi-
clans, nurses, detectives, mine
owners and other persons was i'm
mediately sent from this city.
When the news of the disaster
reached Victor, Mayor Franklin
ordered out Company |. of the Nat
ional Guard and the soldiers are
now OH guard. The sight at the
depot is sickening. Portions oil
human bodies are scattered owe
the right of way of the railway ane
in the twenty foot hole made b,
the explosion are several skulls
arms, legs and hands. Every OBJ
iect within a radius of fifty fee
from the hole is despatched Will
blood.
The injured were removed a
quickly as possible to the hospitals
and the m ugled remains of til
dead most of whom are unrecogni7
able, were gathered together.
The murderers evidently di
not wish to ln1ure any OF the GREY
of the train which the ill-fate
miners intended to take. Seventy
five feet from the depot the engin
whistle was sounded as a signal fc
the men to get ready to board ii
train. The whistle was the deaf
signal. for Immediately a mufle
roar was heard and the mountai
trenbled as if rocked by an eartl
quake.
The train was brought to
sudden standstill ard ,nessenge
rushed for assistance. The who
district is up in arms over Il
catastrophe and further trouble
feared.
Most Of the murdered men ha
families.

carefully Matched and deliberate
perpetrated there is now not Il
