THE FLOOD HOMICIDE
 GOES 10 GRAND JURY
James Mccarthy Held on Charge of
 MdnSIaughter
This Action Taken in Conformity With the Law and Not With the Expectation That Indictment Will Be Returned.

Trevor, Charles Batre, J. E. Pauly Frank Hilderbrand and several others.
 There were the usual minor differ ences of statement by men who see the same thing from different points of view amid great excitement. All were agreed that Flood had begun an attack upon Mccarthy, and that, after calling him names, had got out of his wagon and advanced upon Mccarthy. who was sitting in his buggy; that Mccarthy told him at least three times to keep away from him5 that he wanted no trouble with him, and that he finally drew a revolver from beneath the cushion of his buggy and presented 1t at Flood.
 At this point there was a slight vari- ation of the testimony. Most of the witnesses said that Flood did not stop. but kept on advancing until the first shot was fired However. Frank IIfl- derbrand. who was sitting at his desk in the jewelry store of George H. Cook. across the street, said that he was at tracted by the loud swearing of Flood and saw him start toward Mccarthy. He heard Mccarthy warn him to come no nearer but Flood kept on until Mo Carthy drew the gun, when he stopped MT. Hilderbrand said he was sure that Flood advanced no farther, for he was then on a line with the witness ana a street pole. The witness kept his seat until the first shot was fired, and he was certain that Flood never passed beyond that line. He was then the witness judged, about twenty feet away from Mccarthy. This estimate of the distance had been made by other wit nesses and the approximate correct ness of it was established by Harry Diehl, who said that after the shooting he stepped the distance and found it to be nine paces.
 Though the autopsy showed that the bullet which passed through the heart had entered from the back. it had ap- peared to none of the witnesses that a shot had been fired after Flood turned. At the first shot, which struck him in the shoulder. they saw him finch. When the second shot struck him in the side they saw an expres- sion of pain and saw him put his arms l across his stomach, but to none of the dozen or more men who were looking on did 1t appear that he had com pletely turned until the shooting had ceased.
 It had been stated that Flood had a stick or club in his hand when he left

DIDN'T BELIEVE
That Coffee Was the Real Trouble.

Some people founder around and take everything that's recommended but finally find that coffee is the real cause of their troubles. An Oregon man says:
 For 25 years I was troubled with my stomach. I was a steady coffee drinker, but didn't suspect that as the cause. I took almost anything which someone else had been cured with but to no good. I was very bad last sum mer and could not work at times.
 "On Dec. 2.. 1902, I was taken so bad the doctor said I could not live over 24 hours at the most and I made all preparations to die. I could hardly eat anything, everything distressed me and was weak and sick all over. When in that condition coffee was abandoned and I was put on Postum the change in my feelings came quickly after the drink that was poisoning me was re- moved.
 '"The pain and sickness fell away from me and began to get well day by day So I stuck to it until now I am well and strong again. can eat heartily. with no headache, heart trouble or the awful sickness of the old coffee days I drink all I wish of Postum without any harm and enjoy it immensely.
 "This. seems like a strong story but I would refer you to the First Natl Bank The Trust Banking Company, or any merchant of Grants Pass, Ore, in regard to my standing, and I will send sworn statement of this if you wish You can also use my name" Name given by Postum Co, Battle Creek, Mich.
 Still there are many who consistently fool themselves by saying Coffee don't hurt me" A ten days trial of POstum in it's place will tell the truth and many times save life. There's reason"

The Blowing Up of the Other Side
 With Bombs.

New York, July 27.-While peace ne- gotiations between local unions Nos 2 and 4SO of the Plumbers and Gas Fit ters' association were in progress this evening, two bombs or large torpedoes filled with bits of stone or metal, were thrown from the Third avenue elevated structure into a group of members of the latter union who were waiting out side Teutonia hall, at Sixteenth street and Third avenue, for the meeting to begin. Eight of the group suffered cuts and abrasions from flying fragments.
