HAD WOMAN ARRESTED
 FOR KILLING A CHICKEN

Incited by hunger to the point of committing the deed, Ida Ellsberry, a negress, strode into her back yard yes- terday armed with shot gun and fired the weapon with deadly effect upon. an unsuspecting victim, life being extinct within few seconds. The oecurrence was witnessed by Henry Singleton. negro neighbpr of the woman. and was reported by him to the police. Ida was arrested by ohcers Ragland and Taylor yesterday afternoon.
 ID response to the inaulFies of the officers the woman admitted her guilt and with entire calmness related the details of the affair. She described how she watched her victim before fiF- ing the fatal shot. stating that che dee sired to infiict instant death, and dee clared that she felt no unusual sensa- ton in the act of pulling the trigger. Even when the blood of the dead fiow- ed copiously upon the ground. the ne- gress internationally approached the body, lying lifeless upon the ground, and stood over 1t regarding with sat- isfactIon her handIwork.
 The outre fact of the affatT was that not eontented with the death Of her victim, the woman deliberately picked up the body. removed 1t Into her heuae, and in the seelusion thus afforded dis- severed the head from the body also subjecting it to further mutliation, Asked why she committed such q deed, the Ellsherry woman stated. as if such thing was very usual, that she was driven to 1t by hunger.
 A peculiar feature of the happening Is that the matter was reported to the police by Singleton not because he thought that there was any great cFiFa. inallty in the act, but because the sound of the gun annoyed him, and perhaps also because he thought that there had . possibility of his being injured by some stray shot. He seem ed to feel no pity for the victim and objected to the occurrence, purely on account of it's proximity te his dwell- ing. The police seem to think, too, that personal malice was instrumental in, leading Singleton to make the mat ter known to them.
 It may appear difficult to reconcile with the foregoing account of Ida's deed the statement, tncontFovertibiy true, that she is what is termed . chicken hearted individual. meaning to imply that she is fond of chicken, Tn the place of giving, therefore, the iifs

YOUNG MAN ROBBED.

Was Tied to Tree for several Hour..
 Birmingham. June 6.-(Special )-- James N. dohnson, . young man who works at the steel plant at Ensley and lives in Vivian. a mile or two away, had an experience about midnight that he wIii remember for some time. He was enToute home. when three negroes grahbd him, gagged him and with wire bound him to q tree, after robhing him of s2T. The victim remained tied to the tree until about 3 o'clock this morning when he managed to work himself loose and he walked to the house of a friend a short distance away and had the gag removed and his hands united, The dogs were called for but could not be gotten out.

history of the victim, the name alone win be given It Is @chicken."
 Singleton, the neighbor, disliked Ida.s method of killing the chicken. He is oid-fashioned and prefers to see their necks wrung. Consequently he did swear out warrant for the arrest of the negroes on the charge of discharg- ing firearms within the city limits, and the warrant was executed by oficers Raglard and Taylor. The case is q very trivial one.

REMOVE THE CAUSE.
How to Remedy Much of thu
 Suffering in Montgomery.

There Is hardly . family Tn Ment- gomery where there are not one or more members who suffer at times from the effects of weak stomach.
 It may be that this occurs only after eating some feod that does not agree or because of a supper late at night; or 1t may be that the stomach is so weak inst scarcely any food can be eaten without pain and distress.
 The only way te treat condition of this kind successfully Is with Mi-o-na, It removes the cause of indigestion, weaknessfof the muscles of the stomr ach and bowels. and restores the whole digestive system to health and strength so that 1t takes care of all the food that is eaten.
 When the stomach Is weak, indiges- tion Is followed by fiatulence. dizziness, headaches. sleeplessness and many eth. CT disagreeable symptoms. The one remedy that can be absolutely relied upon to cure this condition is Mi-o-na for this removes the cause of the suf- and intestinal tract and restores health so that all food is easily digested with- out pain or suffering,
 Get we'll and strong by using Mi-a-na tablets Take the remedy at the first symptom of indigestion, when you can be cured easily with a few doses. How ever, no case of stomach trouble Is too severe or chronic for M-orna to over come.
 E, c. Fowler sells 1t under an ah- solute guarantee to refund the money for a couple of weeks, and will do more real good than e dozen boxes Of the ordinary digestive tablets,

For the sake of your personal well fare, just think moment about the process of digesting food.
 There are certain secretiens called gastric juices that act upon the food the nutrition in 1t Into life-giving blood.
 Anything that interferes with the se- ton and makes . chronic state of stomach weakness inevitable.
 From now on build up the strength and health of the stomach with Mi-o-na tablets. You will soon Ind yourself of indigestion.
 Half of the prescriptions the Mont- gomery doctors write are for troubles stomach.
