TWO ON TRIAL FOR ROBBERY
Accused Soldiers Are Identified by
Victim of Assault-Daugh-
ter Also Testifes.

The trial of Mike McCabe and James
OiIleary. both soldiers of Fort Douglas,
accused of having held up and robbed
Harold BerTum, a contractor, on the
night of Feb. q, was begun before
Judge Armstrong yesterday morning.
Berrum was on the stand the greater
part of the forenoon. He positively
identified the accused as his assailants
and told the full story of the hold-up
under both direct and crOss-examina-
ton.
In the afternoon Berrum's daughter
told of what she had seen. She and
her mother were waiting for Berrums
appearance that evening. When they
heard a car go by they both looked
out and saw man get off. They i'm
mediately came to the conclusion that
it was their father. As the man moved
up the street instead of coming direct
ly to the house. they dismissed the idea
from their minds and went back into
the house
A little later the daughter heard
some one call from outside. Believing
that she recognized her fathers voice
she dashed out, closely followed by her
mother. She perceived some indistinct
figures on the opposite of the street
and upon going closer again heard her
fathers voice, and finally saw him
lying on the ground, with two men
bending over him. She believed the
men to be soldiers, as she recognized
the caps and uniforms When they saw
her they at once made off At the cor
ner they were joined by another man,
whom she also believed to be a soldier
Cross-examination failed to shake
her story in any manner. The trial will
be continued this forenoon.

GOOD NATURED AGAIN.
Good Humor Returns With Change
to Proper Food.

For many years was a constant
sufferer from indigestion and nervous
ness amounting almost to prOstratiOn, %
writes a Montana man.
My blood was impoverished, the
vision was blurred and weak with
moving spots before my eyes. This was
a steady daily condition. l grew ill
tempered, and eventually got so ner-
vous 1 could not keep my books post
ed nor handle accounts satisfactorily.
l can't describe my sufferings.
Nothing 1 ate agreed with me, till
che day l happened to notice Grape
Nuts in a grocery store, and bought a
package out of curiosity to know what
it was.
II liked the food from the very first,
eating it with cream, and now L buy it
by the case and use it daily. l soon
found that Grape-Nuts food was sup
plying brain and nerve force as moth
ing in the drug line ever had done or
could do.
1T wasn't long before 1 was restored
to health, comfort and happiness.
Through the use of Grape-Nuts food
nv digestion has been restored, my
nerves are steady once more, my eye
sight is good again, my mental facul-
ties are clear and acute, and 1 have be-

the obstruction on the track he went
back to the depot and stood in the win
dow watching the train topple down the
embankment. He afteTward went to the
wreck and watched the men taking the
injured from the wreckage.
No plausible reason has ever been ad-
vanced for the boys action excepting that
he had been given some whisky and was
intoxicated at the time.
The granting of the petition by the
court means that If the lad Is now prose-
cuted at all he will be taken before the
juvenile court as a delinquent and sent
to the reform school, where he will serve
until he is of age. 1t is expected, how
ever, that the matter viii be carried to

said that the suffering man should be
cared for by the county, and refused to
have anything to do with the case. He
refused to summon medical assistance
for sthe sufferer, who lay grOaning and

min, the company physician, and to no
tify the authorities.
Dr. benjamin dressed the wounds and
administered morphine to relieve the
wounded mans agony.
