Joseph A. Walker, who was killed in

making great success at the work.
When young man in his :wenties,

He came TO Omaha in company with
his wife and his son, Robert. then 6
years OF age. After a short stay in
Omaha he came to Denver and was
placed at the head of the secret serv-
ice commission in Colorado, being at
the head of the commission ever since
| that time.
Mr.. Walker was 50 years old. He is
survived by his wife. a son. Robert

There are absolutely no new de
velopments in the Joseph A Walker
case. The government officials on
the ground have nothing to say and
are awaiting the arrival of Hon Earl
Cranston, United States district attor-
ney. rom Denver this evening.
1t seems to be definitely settled
there will be no inquest, No official
statement has been made as to the
course of the buckshot. but semioffi-
cially it is given ont that one entered
back of the shoulder about two inches
from the spinal column. another two
inches lower down and a third stiil
lower down and very near the spine,
and two in the neck besides the one
that passed through the wrist.
Messrs. Mason and Vanderweide are
confined in the county jail They
have not plead to the information filed
yesterday but it is probable they will
do so tomorrow and an application will
undoubtedly be made for bail
There are mapy conflicting stories
alloat but none are based on inside
facts and The Herald is not Soing to
publish heresay or theories We hope
to be able to give statement from
the government officials tomorrow.

Few People Are Really as Well as

Many people in Augusta both men

greatest danger.
Indigestion. which is so common a
trouble is the principal cause Of the
greater share of the general poor
health. 1t has misleading symptoms
that seem to have no reference to the

the back and side, etc.
The success of physicians every
where with the prescription that is
now embodied in Mi-o-na stomach
tablets has made this remedy in the
last few years the acknowledged
specific for the treatment Of stomach
diseases. The secret of this success
lies in the fact that Mi-o-na is pre-
pared expressly to strengthen the
digestive organs and its use for few
days puts the whole digestive system
in such shape that it can care for all
of the food that is eaten without pain
or distress.

risk and the remedy will not cost you
