deep before commencing our tunnel,
which was commenced about IL feet
from the surface. We were digging

digging well in daylight. After digging
about 40 feet we found that we were

who have treated the disease extensive

DR.. David M. Bye, of 421 N. Illinois
ST., Indianapolis, Indiana, a Cancer
specialist Of ability, says that in his
experience Of nearly thirty years he has
treated many thousands OF cases and
from his records he can trace an her

cases. With his Combination Oil Cure.
recently discovered by him, he has
treated and cured Cancer in most ey-

but met Stokes. his hired man, and
beat him SO that death ensued in a few
days. On the scaffold they said they
had no intention OF killing the man, as
they both had their revolyers with
them, which they did not use. They
were driven to the scaffold In an army

were cool and brave In face of death.
