Cheyenne, Wyo., July 21-The mys. tery of the finding of two deserted wagons filled with bullet holes and stained with blood with the mangled remains of a man and boy has been partially cleared by the Identification
 ofthe victims as Archie Irvine of Ces- tos, Ok, and his son Thomas. They were relatives of Cheyenne people who had been expecting them here from Baker City, Ore.

 The last heard of the Irvines alive was on June z, at Point of Rocks west of Rawlins, Wyo.

Modest Claims Often Carry the
 Most Conviction.

When Maxim, the famous gun in- ventor, placed his gun before a committee of judges, he stated its carrying power to be much below what he felt sure the gun would ac- complish. The result of the trial was therefore great surprise, in- stead of disappointment. It is the same with the manufacturers of Chamberlain sColic, Cholera andDiar- rhoea Remedy. They do not pub licly boast of all this remedy will ac- complish, but prefer to let the users make the statement. What they do claim, is that it will positively cure diarrhoea, dysentery, pains in the stomach and bowels and has never been known to fail. For sale by all druggists.
