MURDERER HANGS HIMSELF.
Body of Charles Herzig, Who Killed a
Girl In Ohio Is Found.

MINOT, N. D., Sept. 16.-The dead
boy of Charles Herzig, who left a
written confession of the crime of
murder committed near Youngstown,
O., over 80 years ago, has been found
by a posse of searchers hanging to a
tree in a secluded ravine just over the
line in the county of Wallace. Pinned
to his breast was piece of wrapping
paper on which was written the fol-
lowing:
MY name is Charles Herzig. Over
80 years ago I murdered and assaulted
a young girl named Lizzie E. Grom-
hacker, near Youngstown, o. Charles
Sterling, an innocent man, was tried,
convicted and hanged for the murder
Of this girl. If my body is ever found,
notify my mother, Catherine Herzig,
at Girard, o.
If Herzig had not left a written
confession and threat of suicide at the
Byer ranch, his body might not have
been found for years, as it was hanging
in a spot seldom visited.
Olsen recalled the details of Her
zig's confession today. At the time it
was made he thought Herzig dement,
ed. Herzig said that after committing
the murder and exchanging shirts with
Sterling, he went to Warren, O., where
he was employed as a gardener by a
lawyer named Ratliff. After Sterl-
ing's arrest and trial he fled to Meso-
pOtamia, Pa, where he remained in
hiding until the eve of Sterling's exc
cution, when he stole horse and went
west.
He settled in Telluride, Colo, where
he married. Ohio people began to
move in and becoming frightened he
deserted his wife and child and went
to Death Valley, in California. Since
then he has been a wanderer.

SaYED pIY LIFE

That's what a prominent druggist said of Scott's Emulsion a short time ago. As a rule we don't use or refer to testimonials in addressing the public, but the above remark and si mil ar expressions are made so often in connec- ton with Scott's Emulsion that they are worthy of occasional note. From infancy to old age Scott's Emulsion offers a reliable means of remedying in proper and weak develop ment, restoring lost flesh and vitality, and repairing waste. The ac t ion of Scott's Emulsion Is no more of a secret than the composition of the Emul- sion itself. What it does it does through nourish- ment-the kind of nourish- ment that cannot be ob- tained in ordinary food. No system is too weak or delicate to retain Scott'S Emulsion and gather good from 1t.
