so years of age, and carpenter BY
trade, was shot and instantly killed

home in this city, early Wednesday
morning.
Crazed with a debauch on alcohol
Checketts was strangling his wife to
death when the boy seized 80 cali,
bre revolver and shot his father in
the temple, killing him instantly.
The circumstances leading up to
the killing of Joseph Checketts indi-
cate that the boy was engaged in an
heroic defense of his mother. Public
opinion is that the killing was entire
ly justified, horrible as it and its re-
suits may be. On Tuesday night
Checketts went home in stupor of
alcohol and began to abuse his wife,
regular practice for years, according
to the statements of neighbors. In
his frenzy he grabbed butcher knife
and stabbed his wife in the side of the
head, inf1icting dangerous wound
His children were terrorized. but final
ly retired, except the two elder girls,
who stayed up to watch and protect
their mother.
Checketts was provided with plenty
of alcohol and sat up and imbibed it.
The fiend again got a good start and
shortly after o'clock Wednesday
morning he again began vicious as
saNt on his wife, His son, Francis
H. Checketts, who is wiper in the
Southern Pacific roundhouse, had
come home.
Checketts, man weighing 1870
pounds, fastened his hands on the
throat of his frail little wife, threw
her across the bed and was strang-
ling her slowly to death. The boy ap-
peared with revolver and, it is re-
lated, gave his father one warning.
The brute did not release his hold.
The son fired, the bullet entering the
skull at the left temple, and causing
instant death. The boy then surren-
dered to the officers and is now in
Jail.

ANOTHER CONFESSION IN
THE STEUNENBERG CASE,
Steve Adams, One of the Alleged Con-
spirators, Said to Have Made a
Clean Breast of II,

|
Boise, Idaho.-The announcement IL
made that Steve Adams, arrested al
Haine, Ore, on February 20, in con
nection with the Steunenberg assassi.
nation, has made a full and sweeping
confession.
This seconu confession is far more
important than that made by Harry
Orchard This statement was made by
James Mcfarland, the famous detec-
tive, in the presence of Governor
Gooding and J. H. Hawley, who is in
charge of the prosecution.
Mr.. MCFARLAND added that Adams
confession fully and exactly corrobor-
ated that made by Orchard at every
point touched upon by both.
Moreover" Mr.. MCFARLAND con-
tinued, adams knows far more of
the workings of the inner circle than
Orchard did, and was able to give
mass of detailed information that Or
chard's confession did not cover.
"The confession of Adams he said,
"corroborated that given by Orchard,
In every substantial point connected
with the assassination of Ex-Governor
Steunenberg. Adams, however, was
not at Caldwell at the time of the
assassination nor was Orchard at the
time of the unsuccessful effort in No
vember. The man who assisted Orch,
ard on that latter occasion, as set
forth in Orchards confession, was
Jack Simpkns."
Still another statement made by
the detective was that the Adams con-
fession gave the details of large
of murders that were not re-
ferred to in any manner by Orchard.
1t was further stated that the confess
sion had been reduced to writing,
signed and acknowledged. 1t was a
document, covering
greater field and in more detail than
that made by Orchard. The further
statement was made that Adams had
made this confession without being
promised anything. When talked
with about the matter he simply
made clean breast of all he knew
If this case and of the secret work

rules. (1) Keep the bowels open
every day. (2) Chew your food
slowly and thoroughly. (S) Avoid
indigestible foods. (41 If there are
any symptoms of stomach troubles,
take Mi-o-na before each meal until
cured.
No matter how many years you
may have suffered with stomach trou-
bles or how worried by sleeplessness,
nervousness, loss of appetite, furred
tongue, specks before the eyes, head
aches, backaches, weakness and de-
bility. indigestion or other ills that
are caused by weak stomach, you
can be cured by the faithful use OF
Mi-o-na.
Take one Of the little tablets be-
fore each meal with the fixed deter
mination to get the most benefit out
of It.
Mi-,-na is not a fanciful expert
ment, 1t is not a patent medicine, It
is not a cure all It is a scientific
remedy reconmended but for one
rrouble,-weaknes of the digestive
organs. It Is q permanent cure. and
Is sold under a guarantee that II costs
nothing unless II does all that Is
claimed for it. Mi-o-na costs but
soc.
When Mi-o-na has been used for
a few days, the digestive system will
be so greatly improved that all the
food eaten Is converted into nutri-
ton, so that nourishment and health
are given to the whole system and
there Is a rapid increase in weight,
