SUMMER ILLS

The exhausting heat of the sum- mer weather causes untold suffer. inc and misery to thousands of men. women and children. Deaths occur on all sides from diarrhoea, dysentery, chills, cholera morbus, typhoid and other levers, due in a great number of cases to impure water and the consumption ot un- ripe fruits by those whose systems and stomachs are not in healthy condition.
 The many ills that comes during the hot, sultry weather can be avoided by keeping the body strong and healthy with Duffy s Pure Malt Whiskey, the great body-builder.
 If all were more careful to keep the system in a vigorus, healthy condition the germs of these dis. eases could not obtain foothold Leading doctors agree that Duf- fy's Pure Malt Whiskey has no equal as a destroyer of poisonous germs in the body.

This afternoon the fate of James
Sawyer was placed in the hands of
the jury and it is up to the IL men
to decide upon the guilt or innocence
of the man against whom the death
of Jack Monee is charged.
All forenoon in the circuit court
was devoted to the arguments in the
case and also a portion of the after
noon. District Attorney Phelps spoke
first, summarizing the case for the
state and arguing for a verdict Of
"guilty as charged in the indictment"
Following the district attorney w.
of Sawyer and after him Col. J. Fl.
Raley giving the closing address
for the defense.
That Sawyer did not shoot Monee
with deliberation and malice. afore-
thought was earnestly claimed by the
lawyer. Instead he held that when
he shot he was out of his head from
the effects of the beer he had drank
and from the excitement OF the rights
in which he. had been engaged TO his
sorrow.
In an eloquent manner Col. Raley
pictured his client as q quiet, hard
working young man, penniless and al
most unknown, who had gotten him
self into an unfortunate predicament
while not himself.
Yesterday afternoon the defense
offered but brief testimony in behalf
of Sawyer and. the defendant himself
was not placed upon the stand. 1t
was explained by the counsel that
their client had but hazy recollec-
tion of the events of the fight. How
ever, they offered his body in evil
dence and unbuttoning his shirt Saw
yer exhibited to the jury the marks
made upon him by Monee and others
on the day of his trouble. DIR Girls
void of Helix, who had attended Saw
yer, was placed upon the stand and
testified as to his injuries.
At the opening of court at 1870
this afternoon Mr.. Phelps commenc-
ed with his closing address to the
jury and he did not finish until 2:SO.
Judge Bean then began at once
upon his instructions and 1t was af-
ter o'clock when he concluded and
the II men were sent into the jury
room.
