The story OF hotly-contested
murder trial, by Frederick Trevor
Hill 1t is the work Of a we'll
known author and a story of
mystery along entirely new lines
in fiction. The narrative is told
in the words of the foreman
of the jury, who chances upon
outside evidence during the trial
which greatly comPlicates the sit
uation and eventually precipitates
a tremendous climax. The book
is maze of mystery to the very
end, and is not without pretty
love tale in its lighter moments.

PATENT MEDICINE
IS HELD RESPONSIBLE

DENVER, Sept 30.-Blasts from an
approaching engine so frightened Mrs,
Augusta Knoblauch while crossing the
Nineteenth street trestle OF the Colo
RADIO & Southern railway. that she fell
over the side into the Platte river,
where she was drowned. Although the
water in the river was only about two
feet deep she was probably rendered
unconscious by the fall and drowned
before recovering. Her husband states
the sudden fright was due to patent
medicine she has been taking for
some months, which he thinks has
caused her TO become mentally de
ranged.
