yesterday by l. H. Tomlinson, one OF
the attorneys for Thomas Smith, the
Abba marshal who was found guilty OF
granddaughter that the supreme court
had granted him a rehearing in his
case which was appealed and recently
affirmed by the supreme court.
The supreme court as we'll as the
lower court based the former rulings
on the theory that the officer took the
life of his prisoner in order to prevent
his escape after his arrest for mis-
demeanor. And the court held that UNI
der such circumstances an officer is
not authorized to take life.
Defense Alleges Assault.
Mr.. Tolnlinson in his motion for q
rehearing presented the claim that the
prisoner was not arrested for a mis-
demeanor but for felony on the
ground that he was making an assault
on the officer for the purpose Of eff
fecting the release or escape of his
father whom the officer had previously
arrested for being intoxicated and dis
orderly. The officer then arrested the
young man for making the assault,
which, under the Iowa law is a felony.
The young man continued his as
eault and in the fight the officer drew
his revolver and shot him. The SUI

Few People Know Hiw Useful 1t 10 in
Preserving Health and Beauty.
Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier in nature. but
few realize it's value when taken into
the human system for the same clean
sing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take of it the better; it is not
drug at all, but simply absoros the gas
es and impurities always present In
the stomach and intestines and car
ries them out Of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath AFTER
smoking, drinking or after eating on
ions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and I'm :
proves the complexion, 1t Whltens tne
teeth and further acts as natural anu
eminently safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; u
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison Of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in orle
form or another. but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money
is in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they
are composed of the finest powdered
Willow charcoal. and other harmless
anticeptics in tablet form, or rather
in the form of large. pleasant tasting
lozenges, the charcoal being mixed with
honey. =.
