LITTLE BOY ONE
MASS OF SORES
Not One Square Inch Of Skin on His
Whole Body Unaffected Awful
Suffering from Raw Itching
Humor - Screams Were Heart
breaking Skin Peeled 20 Times,
WONDERFUL CURE BY
CUTlCURA REMEDIES

"My little son, boy Of five, broke
out with an itching rash. Three doc
tors prescribed for him, but he kept
getting worse until we could not dress
him any more. They finally advised
me to try a certain medical College,
but its treatment did no good At the
time | was induced to try Cuticura
he was so bad that | had 10 cut his
hair off and put the Cuticura Ointment
on him on bandages, rs il was impos-
sible to touch him with the bare hand,
There was not one square inch Of skin
on his whole body that was not affected.
He was one mass of sores. The band
ages used to stick to his skin and in
removing them il used to take the skin
off with them, and the screams from
the poor child were hCart-breaking. l
began TO think that he would never get
well, but after the second application
Of Cuticura Ointment / began TO see
signs of improvement, and with the
third and fourth applications the sores
commenced TO dry up. His skin peeled
off twenty times, but it finally yielded
to the treatment. Now l can say that
he is entirely cured, and a stronger and
healthier boy you never saw than he is
to-day. Robert Wattam, 1922 Center

on the morning following the murder.
Marsh's penchant for young women was
the means of the police eventually fixing
suspicion upon him. Two suit cases which
stranger answering the description of
Dove shipped from Joliet to Kansas City

clew. The express company was notified
and when the consignee failed to appear
tho suit cases were turned over to the
police. Letters found in them led the police
TO Lake Forest, ILL.,, where Marsh had been
employed as chauffeur There the police
learned Of Marsh's attachment for a young
woman in the village. To identify the man

BROCTON. Mass, Aug. 15.-George L.
Marsh was arrested at his home here this
afternoon at the request of the Chicago
police in connection with the murder of
William Bate, November 10, 1904
The arrest was made after the authori-
ties here received a telegram stating that

cago to take Marsh back to Illinois. The
local police stated this afternoon that
Marsh tallies exactly with the description
furnished them of the man known in Chi
cago as George Lawrence, alias Bennett
Marsh, and that George L. Marsh is his
real name. The police allege that Marsh
told them he was with Bate on the night
of the murder, but that he knew Of the
crime and could prove that he was in a
different place at the time Bate was killed

HAECKE RELIES ON ALIBI
MilIRrd Farmer Accused of Arson
Claims 10 Have IndisputabIe
Knockout of Case.

George Haecke, the Mlllard farmer
charged with arson in setting fire to a
straw stack belonging to Andrew Wellman
last Saturday afternoon. will set up an
alibi which, he asserts, cannot be ques-
toned. Haecke was arraigned in Judge
Fosters court and entered a plea of not
guilty He was released on a $500 bond
for appearance Thursday at 2 p. m, when
he will have his preliminary hearing.
When Sheriff Power and Deputy Neve
placed Haecke under arrest he offered no
resistance, but engaged in some fierce de-
nunciation of his accuser. Yet those who
know him say that this style OF talk is
chronic with Haccke and probably means
nothing. Haecke said he was not surprised
at Wellman trying to hold him responsible
for the fire, but also said that the people
in the bank at Millard and some mer-
chants there would bear him out in the
statement that at the time the fire was
set he was transacting business in the
village.

COURT HAS APPOINTED A RECEIVER
In spite of Action of BOARD Circuit
Judge Decides TO Place
Man in Charge of
Property.

ST. LOUIS. Aug. 15.-Tollowing the de-
cision Of United States Circuit Judge Van
Devanter, denying an application for an
injunction to prohibit the enforcement Of
a fraud order by the postal authorities. the
directors of the Peoples United States
bank, on the advice Of their attorneys, have
voted to go into voluntary liquidation. The
following resolution was adopted:
That as the order issued by the honorable
postmaster general, July s, 1905 against
this bank prevents the proper and regular
operation OF the bank by the use of the
United States mail, although the bank is
solvent and sound In all respects II is
deemed by this board for the best interests
Of the depostors and stockholders to go
into LIQUIDATION and to take at once all
proper steps for the protection against un-
necessary expense and loss to its stock
holders and depostors
Notwithstanding the decision of the di-
rectors to go into voluntary liquidation
Judge McElhinney of the st. Louis county
circuit court today granted an application
for, receiver for the Peoples United
States bank on the request Of Attorney
General Hadley of Missouri.
The court thea appointed a receiver, but
announced that his name would be tenn
porarily withheld.
The action of the court IN appointing a
receiver was taken on a supplementary
petition filed by the attorney general after
a previous order appointing a receiver had
been vacated by the court on the applica-
tion of the bank directors, who claimed
that the procedure was illegal.
Immediately upon the announcement
that Frederick Essen of St Louis county
was the courts selection for receiver, at
torneys for the bank filed two motions, the
first to vacate the appointment Of Essen
and the second appealing from Judge Nc
Elhinneys order authorizing a receiver

Value of Property.
Justice Field and the constable of his
court, Joe Palmer. have been made de-
PENDANTS in a suit brought by Richard
Organ to recover $3.50 in the court OF
Justice Gardiner Back Of the suit is a
somewhat interesting story.
Tho wife of Alexander Smith sold Verne
Rogers. who was subsequently shown to be
under age. horse for $25. Young Rogers
failed to pay for It and Smith brought
suit and attached the animal. The animal
was sold under execution by Constable
Palmet for $3.50. When the justice and
constable had deducted the fees and costs
deficit OF 95 cents and Smith consequently
received nothing and is minus the horse

claimed 1870 for his fees and expense OF
caring for the horse, the court costs charged
up by Justice Field amounted to 1913 and
a witness who made two trips from Mis-
souri, Valley was allowed IS, making a
total OF $26.4 IS against the $255 which the

Richard Organ, son of Attorney ]. p
Organ, in his suit against Justice Field
and Constable Palmer contends that the

complicated one. as young Rogers swore
on the witness stand that he had sold the
horse to his father for $50, but the court
declined TO take the sale into account and
permitted the attachment of Smith to stand
