DICK WRAY HELD
NO BOND ALLOWED
JUDGE DAN A. GREENE, IN A
LENGTHY DECISION, STATES
THERE is PROBABLE CAUSE TO
BELIEVE PRISONER GUILTY.

After devoting the entire day to hear
Ing testimony and argument for the pros
ecution and the defense. in the habeas
corpus proceedings brought on behalf of
Dick Wray, charged with the murder of
George Freeman. Judge Dan A. Greene,
in the first division Of the criminal court,
yesterday afternoon remanded Wray to
the county jail to await the action Of
/, the grand jury, without the benefit of
bail.
The courtroom was crowded through
out the day with persons eager to hear
the testimony. 1t was believed that the
state would go further than 1t had yet
done to show what evidence was in its
possession. and this attracted more per-
sons than have yet attended any of the
several hearings Of the matter.
There was little new testimony adduced,
however. Several new witnesses were
placed on the stand to tell what they
knew, particularly relative to the friendly
relations which are said to have existed
between Wray and Freeman and the own
ershp of the pistol. None of them gave
any testimony that had any important
bearing on the matter, however.
Solicitor Helm represented the state
at the hearing. while Attorney B. M
Allen was present on behalf of the pris-
oner with Attorney John r. Shugart and
Curt Shugart. Wray's mother, sister and
brother. with Mrs. Wray, were in the
courtroom
At the conclusion of the argument
Judge Greene announced that there was
no reason to act in this case different
from in others. The law was plain on
the questions involved. demanding only
that reasonable belief in the guilt of
the prisoner should be shown.
THE committing magistrate, when given
the two theories Of the occurrence, must
remand the prisoner to jail, and allow
a jury to decide as to the credibillty of
the several Witnesses" said Judge Greene.
''The testimony offered here shows that
homicide has been committed The the
cries of the defendant as to the manner
in which the shot was fired may easily
be true, but the state has also shown
a theory explaining the killing of the
deceased. The preponderance of the tes-
timony point to the fact that the pris-
oner at the bar fired the fatal shot,
and he is remanded to the county Jail
without the benefit of bail, to await the
action of the grand jury

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful II Is In
Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
is the safest and most efficient disiufect-
ant and purifier in nature, but few realize
its value when taken into the human
system for the same cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
YOU take of It the better: II Is not drug
at all, but simply absorbs the gases and
impurities always present In the stomach
and intestjnes and carries them out OF
the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating onions
and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and improves
the complexion, 1t whitens the teeth and
further acts as a natural and eminently
safe cathartic.
II absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; It
oisinfects the mouth and throat from the
poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one form
or another. but probably the best char
coal and the most for the money. Is In
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges: they are
composed of the finest powdered Willow
charcoal, and other rsrmless antiseptics
in tablet form or rather In the form Of
large pleasant tasting loZenges, the
charcoal being mixed with honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in much improved condition

sweeter breath and purer blood. and the
beauty of 1t is, that no possible harm can
result from their continued use, but on
the contrary. great benefit.
A Buffalo physician in speaking of the
benefits of charcoal says: II advise Stu
arts Charcoal Lozenges to all patients
suffering from gas in stomach and bowels
and to clear the complexion, and purify
the breath. mouth and throat; l also be-
leve the liver is greatly benefited by
the daily use OF them; they cost but
