MAN IN TREE
IS IDENTIFIED
Took Refuge in Hollow
Tree During Storm and
Was Probably Killed
by Lightning = Was
John Whitmer, a Team
Ster.

Alliance, o., July 17.-The body OF
the man found today standing upright
i'm a hollow tree a mile southwest OF
the city, has been fully identified as
that of John Whitmer, a teamster
After the body had been taken in
charge by local undertaken, papers
and a book found in the dead man
pockets contained the name of John
Whitmer. The officers then telephon'
ed to William Whitmer, who is en-
ployed by Love & Casselman. He went
at once to the mayors Office and iden'
titled the clothing and other articles
found in the satchel at the dead man S
side as those of his brother, John.
This completed the identification and
the parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Jacob Whit,
mer, who reside near the Beech
church, several miles southwest OF
here, were notified
Mr.. Whitmer was formerly employ
ed at the Asbestos plant here and
last Easter went to Andover to work
for Kyle Bros, formerly of this city
He wrote the relatives that he expect
ed to visit them soon and they had
been expecting him. He was in AL,
lance July Sth and started to walk
to the home of his parents. The big
storm of that date probably drove him
to seek shelter and being familiar
with the country, he took refuge IN
the hollow tree. The tree shows signs
of having been struck by lightning
and he was probably stunned. His
clothing indicated that he had tried
hard to extricate himself and thereby
was found tightly wedged in the tree.
Whether he died from the effects of
lightning or starved to death, will
likely never be known. The position
he occupied was one that would not
readily be seen from the Lake Erie,
Alliance & Wheeling track, few hun
dred feet away.
The body was put in as good shape
as possible and kept that Coroner
March might view it tonight Burial
will likely be made at the Beech
church Wednesday morning. Besides
the parents and the brother residing
here, two sisters, Della and Mabel,
reside at the country home.

RESTRA|NS
JEROME

New York, July 17.-Judge Blanch-
ard in the supreme court this after
Loon issued a writ of prohibition, di-
rected against the district attorney
and the July grand jury, restraining
them from taking further testimony in
the case of Harry Kendall Thaw, ac-
cused of the murder of Architect
White.
Furthermore, an order was made
that the grand jury and the district
attorneys should show cause tomorrow
why the proceedings against Thaw
should be continued
John b. Gleason, who is associated
with Clifford w. Hartridge, whom
Thaw has chosen as his personal at
torney, issued signed explanation of
the position taken to secure the writ
of prohibition, alleging that the con-
duct Of the district attorneys office
in examining AZ witnesses so far with
out giving the defendant a chance to
the hearing, is contrary to section 219
of the criminal code The statement
follows:
MANY WITNESSES UP.
Il am willing to state the grounds
upon which | have applied for writ
of prohibition for this is a matter
which the public should know about,
as it concerns their rights.
irresponsible theories appear as to
the written and unwritten law, but
it is the law that the accused have
a speedy trial and public trial before
an impartial jury and to be confronted
with the witnesses against him.
"If befdre the trial the district at
torney desires to examine a witness
he may do so, but it is required by
section 219 of the criminal code to
give notice to the defendant, and the
law declares that the defendant may
be present personally upon the exam
nation to confront the witnesses pro-
duced against him.
These laws are being trangressed
in the John Doe proceedings going
on before the grand jury The testi-
mony of AZ witnesses thus far have
been taken against him and daily the
public is given evidence of some wit
nesses in order that they may deter
mine the case before formal trial."

Hog Cholera

is a free germ disease, the germ being first found in the ali
mentary canal, and as long as it is kept in that organ it is
comparatively harmless. When, however, it penetrates to
eungS, liver and other organs, it causes fermentation, in
fammation and destruction Of live tissues furnishing food upon
which it thrives and m%ultiPlies with rapidity, in some cases a
generation an hour, causing death to the animal before the
owner has discovered that it was diseased.
Thus, through reasoning, two facts stand out clearly:
First, that hog cholera can not be treated successfully unless
treatmen is commenced before the germ has reached the
period of rapid multiplication. Second, that a germicide must
be administered, and therein lies the whole secret. AS we
pass down through the list of various germicides, we are COM
PEELED, one after another, to reject them, either because of
ineHhCaCy or inadaptabiity, until we reach LIQUID KOAL.
And why choose LIQUID KOAL? Because it is the
only known germicde that will pass through the stomach to
the intesines and from there to the blood, permeating the en-
tire system, and still retain its germicide properties.
1t is a compound embracing every practical germicide,
antceptic and disinfectant property found in coal, treated
chemically, with an alkaline base, until every objeCtional fea-
ture is eliminated, being non poisOnous and harmless to ami
NAL economy.
1t contains creosol and quiacol. 1t is these hydro-carbon
compounds found in smoke that cure a ham, destroying by
their germicidal properties all germ life.
The reader may ask, if these properties come from coal,
why not use coal? The answer is, because coal yields those
properties only by dstination at about $50 degrees of heat
and tt S reasonable to assume that a hogs stomach could not
generate that amount Of heat without becoming roast pork,
seasoned with fried germs.
We would also call the readers attention to the fact that
the gastric juice of the stomach being an acid, an alkali Is re-
quired as a neutralizer when the acid too strongly predOm-
mates, as in the case of hog cholera. In addition it would
be expensive, as the owner of the animal would be purchas-
ing six dollars worth of coal to obtain one dollars worth of
Liquid Koal.
LIQUID KOALi is in general use by veterinary surgeons
throughout the whole country, embodying a wider range of
use than any other preparation known to science.
The McCook tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 1886-1936, 1906-09-28
LIQUID KoaI Used as a Lice Killer

When diluted with water in the proportion of one part
Liquid Koal to fifty parts water it is the best Lice Killer on
the market. 1t is not expensive to use because it forms a
perfect emulsion with water when mixed in this proportion.
