BANK WRECKERS TELL OF ROBBERY
Give Much New Information Relative to Springfield
Robbery-Robbers Secure SIS 200

Contrary to the usual custom of ex-
pert bank wreckers, who decline to talk
of their exploits and methods, "Pad-
dy" Carol, who, with three compan-
ions, was recently placed in the Sioux
Falls penitentiary to serve long terms
for the robbery of the Bank of Spring
field, at Springfield, S. D., on the
morning of Oct. 5 last, has made a
statement for publication. Himself
and companions secured the sum of
5000 in cash as the result of the
Springfield robbery, and escaped for
the time being by Selling the team
and carriage of Mrs. DR.. Greenfield of
Avon, who was visiting in Springfield
the night of the robbery.
Carrolls statement throws new light
On many features of the robbery, and
is as follows:
81 left Parkston on Sunday (Oct. p
and drove to Tyndall with a horse
trader. We reached Tyndall about 9
p. m. At Tyndall we got hold of a
sack and bought some canned goods,
bread and beer. The horse trader left
this stuff under the railway bridge just
below Springfield for us and drove on
across the Missouri and into Ne
braska.
eve walked down from Tyndall to
Springfield on Tuesday night, stopping
at McNeill's for drink 1t was l that

went down to the bridge, ate lunch,

between Shows house and the town
for while, and then went up town
and looked over the situation
"All day Wednesday we hid in the
brush along the river and not far from

TWITCHING NERVES
A Serious Hereditary Trouble Cured
BY Or. Williams Pink Pills.

Sufferers from ailments that have af-
ficted i'll regular succession one genera
ton after another of their family are, as
a rule, inclined to submit to them as in
evitable. The case which follows proves
that such hereditary difficulties are not
beyond the reach of curative forces and
should inspire hopefulness and readi
ness to Try remedies that have effected
signal cures, such as that which is here
given.
Mrs. Elizabeth Rannells, of No 408
East Seventh street, Newton, Kansas,
gives the following account of her all
ment and her cure:
"For two years | suffered from trying
nervousness III my lower limbs from my
knees down, as my mother and my
grandmother had suffered before me.
The situation was for many years ac-
cepted as unavoidable because heredi-
tary. But about two years ago, when my
son was realizing benefit from the use Of
DR.. Williams Pink Pills, thought there
might possibly be some good i'll them for
me. My trouble had then become so
serious as to make it difficult for me to
sleep. | often had to walk the floor in
restlessness the whole night. After talk
ing some six boxes the twitching disap-
peared and / ceased to use the remedy.

nervousness came back after month or
so and used the pills again for short
time. Relief came at once and since I
stopped using them the second time I
have been free from any return of the
twitchings or from any interference with
my sleep.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills have cured
the worst cases of bloodlessness, indiges.

Drink More Water.

Free water drinking is another es-
sential to vitality and to the develop
ment of staying power. All the oper-
c,ions of the body, digestion, assimila-
ton, absorption, elimination of poison
Gus waste and so on, are carried on by
means of water; and an insufficient
amount of water in the system means
embarrassment of every function.
The body of man of average weight
contains more than half barrel OF
water, and such body needs for its
proper operation at least two quarts
daily of pure water. In this connec-
ton it may not be irrelevant to men
ton that the Japanese soldiers, whose
surprising powers are now engaging
the admiration Of the world, contain
each between two and four gallons OF
water daily.

I'VE scraped the money into sack
and found that we would have to have
a team to haul it out of town. as it
was too heavy to carry. We had
planned on crossing the river, but
with the team we would have to take
another direction, so we decided to
go to Trip. The bus team was the
first one we looked at. but they We're

Greenfield rig and took it.

Bad Stomach Makes
Bad Blood.

You can not make sweet butter in
foul, unclean churn. The stomach serves
as churn in which to agitate work up
and disintegrate our food as it is being
digested. II it be weak, sluggish and
foul the result will be torpid, sluggish
liver and bad, impure blood.
The ingredients of DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery are just such as best
serve to correct and cure all such de-
rangements. It is made up without
drop of alcohol in its composition; chem
ically pure, triple-refined glycerine being
used instead of the commonly employed
alcohol. Now this glycerine is of itself a
valuable medicine. instead OF 3 deleteri-
Gus agent like alcohol, especially in the
cure of weak stomach, dyspepsia and the
various forms of indigestion. Prof. Finley
