THUG TOURIST"
Shoots Brakeman Miller Early Sun
day Morning.

Milan Miller, brakeman on
the O.S L., was shot by one of two
hoboes early Sunday morning,
when the East. bound freight
stopped at Orchard.
The bullet, a A. entered the
fleshy part of Miller's right leg.
just below the hip. The wound is
not considered dangerous, unless
blood poison develops The
wounded man is a son in-law of
Thomas Mellen, the well-known
sheep man of Mountain Home,
The act was committed in cold
blood, the shooting being entirely
unprovoked and uncalled for.
Head Brakeman Anderson first
encountered the men. He was
at once covered with revolver by
the man who afterward shot Mil
ler, which caused him to change
his mind about putting the tramps
off the train, and stood talking
to them.
At this juncture Miller came up.
These men are gun6ghters," re-
marked Anderson in jocular
vein, to his companion.
"That so?" answered Miller.
ooh, well, | guess they wouldn't
hurt anyone very much"
No sooner were the words out
of Miller's mouth than the hobo
with the weapon fred, the ball, as
stated, entering the feshy part of
the brakeman's right leg.
Miller fell and the tramps
started to make their escape. An
derson was unarmed, but he Sc
cured revolver carried by Miller
and opened fire, other train men
who were attracted to the scene
also making use of their weapons.
The hoboes responded and pitched
battle ensued for few minutes.
No damage resulted, however,
and, the fleeing men disappearing.
Miller was brought here and
later sent to the hospital at Salt
Lake City, Utah.
Sheriff Ross and Deputy Winter,
on learning the facts, at once left
for Orchard and struck the trail OF
the fugitives, which went north.
Others taking up the chase, the
two officers returned to watch de-
velopments in this vicinity.
Sheriff Moseley of Boise sent out
Chief Deputy G. G Siggins and
Deputies Hodgins and Gibson. The
officers were on horses and thorough.
ly secured the country in the vi
cinity of the crime.
Shortly after Ross and Winter
returned to Mountain Home, two
tourists were taken from an Eas.-
bound freight by Deputy Winter
and held for investigation. Sun"
day evening Chief Deputy Siggins
of Boise came down on freight,
accompanied by Brakeman Ander-
son. Anderson, however, upon
seeing the suspects, stated that
they were not the men wanted, SO
they were turned loose.
Deputy Siggins returned to Boise
on the midnight passenger. he
expressed confidence that the MUIR
,derous hoboes would soon be ap-
pretended.

and investigating mind, an earnes
seeker after knowledge, and abov,
all, possessed of a wonderfully sympa
thetic nature.
In 1s43 she married Isaac Pinkham
a builder and real estate operator, ant
their early married life was marked BY
prosperity and happiness. They hae
four children, three sons and {
daughter.
In those good old fashioned days II
was common for mothers to make
their own home medicines from roots
and herbs, natures own remedies
calling in physician only in specially
urgent cases. By tradition and ,ex-
perience many of them gained won
derful knowledge of the curative prop
critics of the various roots and herbs.
Mrs. Pinkham took q great interest
in the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that just as nature SO
bountifully provides in the harvest
fields and orchards vegetable foods of
all kinds; SO, If we but take the pains
to find them, in the roots and herbs
of the field there are remedies ex-
pressly designed to cure the various
ills and weaknesses Of the body, and
1t was her pleasure to search these out,
and prepare simple and effective medi.
cines for her own family and friends.
Chief of these was a rare combina-
ton of the choicest medicinal roots
and herbs found best adapted for the
cure of the ills and weaknesses pacu-
liar to the female sex, and Lydia e. Pink
hams friends and neighbors learned
that her compound relieved and cured
and it became quite popular among
them.
All this so far was done freely, with
out money and without price, as a
labor of love.
But in 1878 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. It's length and severity were too
much for the large real estate interests
of the Pinkham family, as this class
of business suffered most from
fearful depression, SO when the Centen-
NAL year dawned it found their. prop
erty swept away. Some other source
OF income had to be found.
At this point Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound was made known
to the world.

The pastor Of church in a jersey

prizes, the first to pupils over and
the other to pupils under twelve who
during an interval OF three months
would learn to recite the greatest
number Of verses from the Bible. A
committee was appointed to hear the
contestants, for the prize and register

The first prize was taken by a
young girl of sixteen who had COM
mitted to memory during this interval
OF ninety days 1926 verses Of Scrip
ture. These passages covered the en-.
tire New Testament with the excep.
ton OF two genealogies and included
liberal selections from Psalms, Gene

restore the family fortune. They
argued that the medicine which was
SO good for their woman friends and
neighbors was equally good for the
women of the whole world. Az
The Pinkhams had no money, and
little credit. Their first laboratory
was the kitchen, where roots and
herbs were stepped on the stove,
gradually filling gross OF bottles.
Then came the question of selling
| it, for always before they had given
| 1t away freely. They hired job
printer to run off some pamphlets
setting forth the merits Of the medi-
cine, now called Lydia e. Pfnkham's
Vegetable Compound, and these were
distributed by the Pinkham sons In
Boston, New York, and Brooklyn.
The wonderful curative properties Of
the medicine were, to a great extent,
self-advertising, for whoever used it
recommended 1t to others, and the de-
mand gradually increased.
In 1877, by combined efforts the fam
lily had saved enough money to COM
mence newspaper advertising and from
that time the growth and success OF
the enterprise were assured, until to-
day Lydia g. Pinkham and her Vege-
table Compound have become house,
hold words everywhere, and many
tons of roots and herbs are used annu-
ally in its manufacture.
Lydia e. Pinkham herself did not
live to see the great success Of this
work. She passed to her reward years
ago, but not till she had provided
means for continuing her work as
effectively as she could have done it
herself.
During her long and eventful expe-
rience she was ever methodical in her
work and she was always careful opre-
serve record of every case that came to
her attention. The case of every sick
woman who applied to her for advice
and there were thousands-re
careful study, and the details, includ-
ing symptoms, treatment and results
were recorded for future reference, and
to-day these records, together with
of thousands made since, are
available to sick women the world
over, and represent q vast collabora-
ton of information regarding the
treatment of woman's ills, which for
and accuracy can hardly
be equaled in any library in the
world.
With Lydia e. Pinkham worked her
in law, the present Mrs.
Pinkham. She was carefully instructed
In all her hard-won knowledge, and
for years she assisted her in her vast
correspondence.
To her hands naturally fell the
direction Of the work when its origina-
tor passed away. For nearly twenty
1--WE years she has continued it, and
nothing in the work shows when the
first Lydia e. Pinkham dropped her
pen, and the present Mrs. Pinkham,
now the mother of a large family, took
It up. With woman assistants, some as
capable as herself, the present Mrs.
Pinkham continues this great work and
probably from the Office of no other
person have SO many women been adj
vised how to regain health. Sick wo-
men, this advice is "Yours for Health"
