on credit, disposed of them at forced

Unknown Friends.

There are many people who have
used Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy with splendid
results, but who are unknown be-
cause they have hesitated about giving
a testimonial of their experience for
publication. These people, however,
are none the less friends of this
remedy. They have done much to-
ward making it household word by
their personal recommendations to
friends and neighbors. 1t is a good
medicine to have in the home, and is
widely known for its cures of diar-
rhoea and all forms of bowel trouble.

10 second thought until about o'clock,
when she went up to get the baby, who
usually slept with her parents.
After searching from room to room
and not finding them she discovered
the tray of trunk on one of the beds.
More in curiosity than in hope of find
ing the children, she raised the lid of
the trunk. There were the still forms
of the little ones.
Screaming with terror, the distracted
mother seized the children and placed
them in bed, vainly trying to awaken
them. Neighbors heard her cries and
hurried into the house. The eyes of
the Oldest girl opened as she was pick
ed up. She was carried at once to the
open air, and artificial respiration was
resorted to without success.
The three children were buried in one
casket.
The trunk in which the children were
suffocated is not self locking, but has
clasps which might hold against the
strength of children.

Within that chest had she concealed her

Fluttering with joy, the happiest of the

When a spring lock that lay in ambush

Fastened her down forever!

IN MRS. BRADLEY'S BEHALF
Active Steps to Be Taken in Salt
Lake This
Week.

Active work on preparing the defense
of Mrs. Anna NJ. Bradley, the slayer of
former Senator Arthur Brown, will be
begun i'm Salt Lake early this week.
when Attorney Hoover of the firm of
Wells. Hoover & Wells, Mrs. Bradley's
Washington counsel, will arrive in Salt
Lake to consult with Judge Q. w. Pow
erS, her local representative. Mr..
Hoover is expected to arrive either to-
morrow or Tuesday.
Judge Powers is at present i'm Ne
vada, but will Seturn Monday in order
to meet the Washington attorney. The
first matter which will be taken UP will
probably be that of securing evidence
upon which to base a contest on the
Brown will which disinherited the
Bradley children.
When this Is completed evidence con-
corning the relations existing between
Mrs. Bradley and Arthur Brown while
they lived in Salt Lake will be investf-
gated. 1t is prorNsed to show that
Brown often promised to legitimatize
the Bradley children by marrying their
mother.
The defense of Mrs. Bradley will un-
doubtedly be based upon emotional in
sanity and the so-called "unwritten
law" In order to make the insanity
plea strong. an effort will be made to
obtain evidence here tending to show
that during the past few years she has
had tendency in that direction.

NELSON BLAMES
MOTHER-|N-LA
Jackson School Principal Says
Wife'S Mother Is Med.
dIesome.
ANSWER IN DIVORCE SUIT
HUSBAND SAYS HE WAS NOT
CRUEL TO SPOUSE.

To an alleged meddiesome mother-in-
law, David A. Nelson, principal of the
Jackson school, attributes ali his trou-
BILE WITH his wife, Eleila McCready Nell
son, who is suing him for divorce on
the grounds of cruelty and desertion. In
his answer to his wife's complaint. filed
yesterday in the district court, Mr.. Nell
son shows that he really has come to a
full understanding of the time-honored
mother-in-law jokes
In the first place he is very sure that
his wife's mother in a meddlesome per-
son. She prys into his affairs, he says,
and this seems to casue him great mem
tai anguish. He does not specify what
affairs she delights to delve into, but
they must be of some importance or he
would not make SO much ado about
her alleged probing tendencies He also
complains that she has interfered with
the management of his family This,
Of course. must be the worst of all, as
most men delight in ruling their own
households or thinking they rule them.
The charges of cruelty made by the
wife are specifically denied. He does
not say that he was not cruel to his
mother-in-law, but this would have
been unnecessary as no such charge
was made in the wifes complaint.
To cap the climax, he is SO ungentie-
manly as to assert that his wife is mis-
informed as to the amount of property
he possesses. This should go to prove
that the mother-in-law did not get her
probe into his affairs very far To
show that he still wishes the marriage
vows to remain in force, Mr.. Nelson
does not ask for a divorce, filing no
cross-bill, but asks that the suit be
dismissed.
