Recognizing that, in prescribing
alcohol, the requirements of the in
dividual must be the governing rule,
we are convinced OF the correctness
of the opinion so long and generally
held, that in disease alcohol is a rapid
and trustworthy restorative. In
many cases it may be truly described
as life-preserving, owing to its power
to sustain cardiac and nervous ener-
gy, while protecting the wasting nj

the universal belief of civilized man
kind that the moderate use of alco-
holic beverages is, for adults, usual
ly beneficial, is amply justified.

DISMISSAL OF CARLSON
Prosecutors Witness Has Too
Much Champagne-Wh
Friends of Accused Are CHARGED
With Fixing" Gunderson So
He Can Easily Forget.

The Gazette last week contained a
statement OF the dismissal of Carlson
and Schmidt on the charges OF robbery
owing to the prosecutors chief witness
GundersOn 's-falure to corroborate the
statements he made to the prosecutor
previous to the trial. When he was
called to the witness stand he was evi-
IDENTIFY under the influence of LIQUOR. given
him, it is broadly limited, BY certain in
terests to keep him from testifving
against Carlson, who was on trial. The
scheme worked to perfection, for Gunder
son was either badly befogged or acted
his part well; he knew absolutely moth
ing, although he was present at the rob
berry and saw the whole proceeding
There was but one thing for the prose-
cutting attorney to do and that was to
move for a dismissal In speaking Of
the matter Prosecuting Attorney Kipp
said TO Gazette reporter:
sat 10 O'Clock in the morning Of the
day of trial GundersOn was all O. K.
but was then taken in charge by friends
OF Carlson. At the noon hour be was
intoxicated and told me at that time
be had been with friends OF the defense
and that they had given him several
drinks of champagne and whisky mixed,
from which be had not fully recovered at
p. IN. when | was compelled to call him
to the witness stand.
Another important witness was
urgently requested to leave the state be-
fore he could be subpoenaed, aud if | can
secure sufficient evidence OF this fact
there may be further Developments.
These Obbery cases, both where a
person is knocked down and robbed, and
where money is taken from the person of
another without putting the other per-
son in fear, are extremely hard cases to
prosecute successfully, for in each general
rule the persons robbed are intoxicated
and the witnesses saloon men and hang
ers-On, and while we do not succeed in
making an arrest of the right person
in one out OF an hundred or more cases
that happens, still when we get a case
and have it set for trial, we never know
whether the man who was robbed, or the
