NEIGHBoRs HAVE Fatal ROW.
AS Result of Long-Standing Trouble,
Pitched Battle Takes Place,

Columbus, Ca, July 22.--Will Chap
man, aged rs, a painter, is dead; Henry
g. Martin, a merchant, has bullet hole
In his shoulder and wound In his hand,
and his son, Arthur Martin, is In Jail
charged with murder, the result of a duel
at O'Clock this morning, in which rocks,
Winchester rifle and pistol were the
weapons.
Chapman lived in house adjoining
the Martins, in Beallwood, north ,of Co
lambus. There has been trouble be-
tween the two families, and this morn.
ing 1t came to climax when horse be-
longing to the Martins was led along the
sidewalk in front of Chapman's house,
despite the request on his part that this
practice be stopped.
Arthur Martin, young man nearly
grown, threw rock at Chapman, who
was standing In his own yard. He lodged
the rock and stopped to pick up one, and
as he did SO the elder Martin, who was
but few feet away, fred at him with a
Winchester rifle, the ball missing, how
ever. Chapman fired at the elder Martin
with his pistol five times, two of the bull
let's taking effect and inflioting serious,
but probably not fatal injuries.
Chapman ran into his house, reloaded
his p;stol and started into the street, his
weapon in hand. AS he was going
through the gate there was the crack of
q rifle, fred from the doorway of Mar
tins store, and Chapman fell to the
ground dead in the sight of his wife,
whom he married only last March. The
ball struck him near the eye, ranging
upward into the brain.
1t was claimed that young Martin fired
the fatal shot and he was placed under
arrest. The defense will be, it is under
stood, that the elder Martin fred the
shot. Mrs. Chapman says that she
heard the report of rife and turned to
see young Martin in the doorway of the
store. with his smoking gun in hand.

Doctor Away from Home when Most Needed

People are often very much disap.
pointed to find that their family physi-
clan is away from home when they most
need his services. Diseases like cramp
collie and cholera morbus require prompt
treatment, and have in many instances
proven fatal before medicine could be
procured or physician summoned. The
right way is to keep at hand bottle of
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhma Remedy. No physician can pre-
scribe better medicine for these dis
eases. BY having 1t in the house you
escape much pain and suffering and all
risk. Buy it now; it may save life. For

ously considering whether the more er-
fective remedy for trust evils is not
the Imprisonment Of responsible officials,
rather than fines against the corpora
