DIED SUDDENLY
OF HEART DISEASE.

How frequently does head line SINH
lar to the above greet us In the news
papers. The rush, push and strenuous
ness of the American people has strong
tendency to lead up to valvular and other
affections Of the heart, attended by ir-
smothered sensations and other distress
ing symptoms.
Three of the prominent ingredients Of
which DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery Is made are recommended by some
Of the leading writers on MdtertG Medtcd
for the cure of just such cases. Golden
Seal root, for instance, is said by the
ard authority, ITO impart tone and In
creased power to the hearts action"
Numerous other leading authorities rep
resent Golden Seal as an unsurpassed
tonic for the muscular system In general,
and as the heart Is almost wholly com
posed OF muscular tissue, It naturally
follows that it must be greatly strength
ened by this superb, general tonic. But
probably the most Important ingredient
of ~Golden Medical Discovery" so far
as its marvellous cures OF valvular and
other affections of the heart are con-
cerned, Is Stone root, or ColLtnsOntd CAM,
Prof. VIM. Paine, author OF Paine's
Epitomy OF Medicine, says Of 1t:
"I. not long since. had patient who was
so much oppressed with yalvular disease OF
the heart that his friends were obliged to
carry him upstairs. he. however. gradually
recovered under the influence OF Collinsonn

Heretofore physicians knew OF no remedy
for the removal OF so distressing and so dan
gerous q malady. With them it was all
guess work. and IT >fearfully warned the
AFFLICTED that death was near at hand. Col
linsonin unQuestionably affords relief In
such cases. and In most instances effects
cure"
Stone root is also recommended by Drs.
Hale and Ellingwood, OF Chicago, for
Yalvular and other diseases Of the heart.
The latter says; "It Is a heart tonic OF
direct and permanent influence"
"Golden Medical Discovery" not only
cures serious heart affections, but is a
ator strengthening the stomach, invig-
Grating the liver, regulating the bowels

STOPS CAR WITH HIS HEAD
Former Policeman Wins Bet, but
"Jarred His Spine Loose" In
Doing the Stunt
Special to The Herald.


ST. LOUIS, Jan. 2S.-'I can stop a
street car going full speed with my
bare head and shoulders" said former
Police Sergeant Peter Dooley to some
friends yesterday.
I'll bet you dinner for the bunch
you can't" was the retort.
Along came a car. The crouchipg
figure Of Dooley loomed before the
startled motorman. The former SER
geant OF police was on all fours, with
his head lowered. The car did not stop
and Dooley would not bulge. When
they removed Dooley to the city hos
pital he exhibited slight abrasion on
the head. He said his spine had been
Jared loose, but otherwise he felt fine.
Dooley remarked that he had no
grievance against the United Railways
company, and he hoped the passengers

WHILE MAN PRAYS
SHOTS ARE FIRED
STORY OFATTEMPTED MURDER
TOLD IN COURT
Aged Uncle Of Prisoner Says He Was
Shot Four Times and Twice While
on His Knees Praying for
His Lie

Examination Of William J. Mckinley,
a young man, on the charge Of having
attempted to murder his uncle, Will
liam Reid, was commenced yesterday
before Justice Pierce in the township
court, but because of the absence of
witnesses the case was continued for
further hearing to February A.
The old man was assaulted at his
home just outside the city limits, west
of Pico Heights, on the night of De-
cember Ia, and yesterday he told the
following story of the assault in court:
IL had gone to bed early and had
nearly gone to sleep when l heard a
knock at the door l arose and went to
the door and opened it, and my nephew
Mckinley entered. AS we had had
trouble because he wanted to get con-
troll of my property, L said nothing to
him, but started over to my bed, in
tending to go back to sleep.
81 had taken about three steps when
my nephew fired at me with a 22-cali-
ber revolver. One bullet entered on the
right side of my neck, the other on the
left, and 1 fell to the floor by my bed
and prayed.
Two More Shots Fired
"Then he came over to me and as
he StOOQ over Ine l. pTdySo Ietlo IilttL
my life would be spared. He swung
me half around and fired twice in my
face, the bullets entering just below
my eyes and breaking through into my
mouth, and 1 spat them out as fell to
the floor. The small caliber of the
weapon probably saved my life.
MY nephew must have thought me
dead, for he walked out of the place,
leaving me on the floor. Two days
later l managed to crawl out to the
road and met a man there, who tele-
phoned for an officer. While the police
man was standing there getting the
facts of the case a buggy drove up
with law and collection agent named
Williams, with whom 1 had also had
trouble. He was accompanied by my
nephew. and when / said That is the
man who shot me- the officer arrested
Mckinley and brought him to Los An
geles."
Mckinley was arrested twice before
on charges of having assaulted his
uncle. The first time it was alleged
he abused the old man and he was
warned by Justice Pierce to behave
himself. That warming held good for
a while, but a second time Mckinley
was arrested on the same charge. At
that time he was placed under bonds
to keep the peace and the shooting oc-
Cured that night.
Reid is IA years of age and MS
nephew is 40.
