HEAD SOLID SORE.
Awful Suffering of Baby and
SIeepless Nights Of

CURED BY CUTICURA
Skin Fair as a Lily with no Scar
TO Recall Awful Sore
Writes Mother.

"I herewith write out in full the be-
ginning and end of that terrible disease
eczema" says Mrs. VIM. Ryer, Elk
River, Mimi, (which caused my babe
untold suffering and myself many
sleep1ess nights. My babe was born
seemingly fair, healthy child, but
when she was three weeks old swell
ing appeared on the back of her head,
and in course of time broke. It did
not heal but grew worse, and the sore
spread from the size of dime to that
of dollar. 1 used all kinds of rene
dies that could think of, but nothing
seemed to help; in fact, it grew worse.
Her hair fell out where the sore was,
and feared it would never grow again.
1t continued until my aged father came
on visit, and when he saw the baby
he told me to get Cuticura Soap and
Ointment right away.
"To please him I did so, and to my
surprise by their use the sore began to
heal over, the hair grew over it, and
to-day she has nice head of hair, her
skin is as fair as lily, and she has no
scar left to recall that awful sore, and
it is over eight months and no sign of
its returning"
Arizona republican., 1905-10-17

far as could be ascertained death was
the result of exposure and thirst.
There was presented to the jury
statement by DR.. II. A. Hughes, who
examined the remains, that the exam
nation, on account of the advanced
stage of decomposition, was very un-
satisfactory. The skull was intact, and
no marks of violence were discover
able. On none of the other bones could
such marks be found save those made
by wild animals.
The verdict of the jury has not been
recorded, and will not be until after
another attempt to arrive approx
mately of the death of Tanner. The
coroner wrote to D. w. Hail. of Salome,
who furnished the first story of the
finding of the body, regarding his
knowledge of the time that Tanner left
there for Phoenix. Mr.. Hall replied
that he could not be sure of the date,
but it must have been a month or two
ago. He said that a man whom he
supposed to be Tanner, left there ac-
companied by a younger man, quite a
large man about forty years of age.
About the same time two Mexicans
| left. All of them were coming to
| Phoenix by the way of Buckeye. Mr..
Hall said he warned them of the perils
/ of the desert at this time of year, and
! told them there was a stretch of thir-
| ty-five or forty miles in which they
| could not find water.
The men must have stopped at ]. 4.
! Reeds ranch below Harrisburg, and
| Mr. Reed, he thought, would be likely
! % remember the time of their APP
| pearance there. Mr.. Hall said that so
many men had left Salome for PhOe-
nix. that he cannot remember definite
| Iy any particular party. In this case
| he had either cashed q check for the
smaller man of the two (Fanner. or
else Tanner had received a letter
! through the postoffice.
There had been the merest surmise
! that Tanner might have been murder
! ed since nothing had ever been heard
! of his companion. Mr.. Hall does not
/ think that it is probable, for he said
! that none of the men had money
enough to attract murderous cupidity
The fact that tanners compan-
ion never turned up, leads MIR Hall &c
| believe that he too is dead on the des-
! ert. But he adds. that unless his body
! lies along the road, there is little use
| in hunting for It; there is too mucf
! country.
On the subject of death on the des-
ert, Mr.. Hall says that he knows Of
three who have died in the brief time
he has been in that part of the coun'
I try No doubt. he says, these three are
but a small number in comparison witt
all who have died. for many Mexicans
Indians and others, without friends Of
relatives to inquire about them, have
started across, and have never since
