 house and rode north to get help from the nelghbors.
 When he returned with help and off, flcers, Hyatt was still there, and was taken Into custody, charged with com plIclty In the murder. Hyatt had evl- dently been in the Vaughan house, as when the party rode up there was a light In the house, which was extn- gulshed just before they reached 1t Hyatt was standing where he had been left.
 Sheriff Jennings stated that Clar- ence Vaughan made serious mistake in not taking Hyatt at the point of his Winchester and turning him over to the custody of the county authorities at once, as there would then have been no difficulty In convictlng him of com pllclty in the murder, whereas. the fact that the man was not armed, claimed that he knew nothing of the shooting being contemplated and did not try to escape when he had good chance, will make it extremely difficult to convict him of murder.
 The sheriff paid Assistant District Attorney Utley high compliment for the manner In which he handled the states case in the preliminary trial.
 When he and Attorney Utley . sweated" Hyatt, the latter admitted the theft of the burro and two horses and wanted to plead guilty to the charge of larceny In consideration of the murder charge being dismissed. but this he was not allowed to. do.
 Deputy Sheriff Sam Redwood, at the inquest, positively identified Hyatt as having been at Brawley, after Hyatt had denied that he had ever been in the town.
 On the day that the horses were stolen from BraWley, Deputy Pack wood drove into town and tied his horse to the hitching rack on the square, and Hyatt was leaning against the rack at the time. The fact that he was so we'll identified by MT. Pack wood had made it easier for the sheriff and Mir. Utley to show the contradic- tions in the prisoners stories, and to get him to confess to the horse steal ing. It was also proven that the two men had raided a Mexican camp about two weeks before the shooting and had stolen, among other things, AS cali bre Colts revolver. They found it inn possible to get cartridges for the weap- on In that part of the country and "Runt" had "cashed" 1t. Hyatt claimed he did not know where the re- voIver was hidden. although he led the officers to where they had hidden a stolen saddle and brldle.
 The sheriff said that both Run" and Hyatt were typical hoboes in ap- pearance. "Runt." who was so called on account of his small size, had the weaker minded Hyatt completely under his control. Hyatt originated nothing, being willing to enter into any kind of crime. but not having the nerve to do anything except under "Runts" dlrec- ton.
 He further stated that the killing kept that part of the state out of a great deal of trouble. as the men had made

turned on the owl tram YeSteroay H1oIn- Ing from Holtvllle, where they attended the inquest on the bodies of young Fred Vaughan and the confessed horse thief "Runt," who shot each other to death Sunday afternoon. The sheriff brought with him Floyd Hyatt, who Is held to the superior court on the double charge of murder and grand larceny.
 When seen at his brothers office in the Granger block yesterday afternoon, the sheritt had an interesting story to tell of the depredatlons of the man "Runt" and his partner, Hyatt It seems that the two men had been en- camped near the California Develop ment company's camp at Sharp's heading, about three miles south Of the Mexican line and nine miles east of Calexico, on the Santa Marguerite road where they had made extensive preparations for running horses across the line.
 The place was nearly ideal for the work, as the wind continually shifted the sand and the prints of horses hoofs would be wiped out WI thin an hour or two after they had passed. The two men had been operating in and around Calexico and Brawley for some time and Hyatt admits the theft of burro and two horses from BraWley.
 They told the men at the California Development company's camp that they intended ito hunt rattlesnakes for their oil" when questioned as to their business in that vicinity. Sunday af- ternoon when "Runt," who was the head of the pair, having all the nerve and the firearms, told Hyatt to put the saddles on the stolen horses. they could not be found, having pulled up their tether stakes and wandered away. Be- ing without horses, they determined to procure some and immediately went to the Vaughan brothers place for that purpose. It wds about 5:30 o'clock when they arrived at the house, which is only about l50 feet from the Mexi- can line. and the Vaughan boys had just finished supper The day was hot and the brothers were loafing about in their undershirts, Fred, the victim of the murderer. lying on couch made of some old boxes. The horse thieves entered the yard and stood at the cor ral for some minutes and then entered the house. being cordially greeted by the Vaughan boys, who did not suspect them of anything wrong.
 Clarence Vaughan, after the men had been in the house for some time, wanted to water the horses and began Ito look for his overshirt. Fred found 1t for him at the foot of the bed and both brothers were leaning over the bed with their heads close together when the man called "Runt" pulled a gun. leveled 1t at the boys and told them to hold up their hands, saying, F"I don't want your money. but must have your horses. Find 'em, qulck!"
 The Vaughan boys naturally fell back and "Runt" covered Clarence. Fred Vaughan reached for his Win chester rifle, which was at the head of Ilhe bed and "Runt' did not see him until Fred cooked the gun. Clarence,
 n the meantime. told the men to take |anythlng they wanted.
 When "Runt" heard the noise of the rifles hammer being pulled back. he said to Hyatt, "Get that gun!"

in strong defense OF the principles

down by the country's Democracy.
Bringing his fist down on the BILE

said:

FAITH THAT CANNOT BE SHAKEN.

Despite everything that sensational
magazines may say, the women Of the
United States continue to have faith In
Peruna.
These women know great deal more
about Peruna than the editors who have,
for selfish purposes, written against it.
These women have tried Peruna in
their families. They have taken it
themselves. They know 1t will help
them.
The have suffered from various all.
ments, and Peruna has come to their re.
lief, even when the doctors failed to
cure them.
Such women cannot be convinced by
any editorial spasm that their favorite
household remedy is humbug.
Peruna goes right on in its conquest
over disease. Its fame is spreading all
over the earth.
Especially among American women
is Peruna beloved household remedy.
1t is entirely useless for anyone to try
TO dissuade them from the results OF
their own experience.

CLINTON IN LITIGATION
OVER BOND ISSUES.
Four Injunction Suits Filed by
Taxpayers to Test the VAL
idity of Water and
Light Bonds.

From Tue sday's Clinton Democrat.
Four Injunction suits were filed by
tax payers at 1880 last night at
tacking the validity OF the recent
issues OF city bonds for the purpose
OF constructing municipal water and
light plants and asking legal action
by Judge Denton, which il gran tied
by the court, would nullify all steps
taken and prevent the payment OF
further interest or principal on the
bonds.
The preliminary statements OF all
four OF the petitions set forth the
same allegations. tits set forth that
the city OF Clinton has taxable prop
erty not exceeding one million dol
lars; that when the bond election
was held the 18th day OF last Febru-
sry the bonded debt was $4,000
and is now $26, 900, and the election
was on theproposition to Issue $780,
600 light and $40, 900 water bonds;
that there was no authority OF law
for the submission Of said PROPOSE
tion or holding said election and no
authority was given either to pur-
chase or construct the plants. The
issuance OF the $4,000 bonds to
the st Louis Union Trust Co is re-
cited and the councils tax ordinance

for both bond Issues 1t is charged
that the council had no authority tc
issue bonds either to purchase or ia
