injured by Rock Island local freight
train about $3.50 last evening in Mo-
line. He was trying to board freight
car at Eighth street, and missed his

the railroad tracks to jump a train for
home. The Rock Island local, with
Engineer Holland at the throttle, was
the first to pass, and he made the at

Caught Between Two Cars.
Russell West, 1924 Twenty-irst
street, was the victim of an accident
yesterday afternoon when he was re-
turning from his work on the arsenal
and sustained severe bruises. Mr..
West was riding wheel and when
on the bridge he slowed up to allow
car that was approaching him from
this side to pass him. He did not see
that there was car directly in his
rear that was coming at a fairly high
speed and the result was that when
he slowed down he was struck by the
car from the rear and hurled to the
floor of the bridge He was between
the two cars when they passed and
there is chance that he was as much
hurt by being crushed between them
as he was in being struck The am
bulance was called at once and the
injured man was taken to his home
where his injuries were examined.
Two physicians were summoned and
it was decided that Mr.. Vests injuries
were not as serious as were at first
feared and that there were no bones
broken. The pain from the bruises
was so great, however, that the in
juries could not be definitely located.
This morning the victim of the acct
dent was resting much easier and the
pain had abated considerably.
Knocked on the Track.
Frank Schmidt, aged So, single, and
having no home address. was struck
by a Burlington freight train yester-
day afternoon while walking on the
right of way near Colona. He was
thrown in the air and alighted beside
the track. The train was stopped and
the crew went to pick up the supposed
corpse, To their surprise, however
5 they found the man showed signs OF
life. He was hurried to this city and
taken to st. Anthony's hospital, where
it was ascertained that no bones were
broken and that there were no injuries
of really serious nature, though
there were abrasions about the head

THE CAMPAIGNS
 EARLY START
County Democrats Already
 In the Field
The Party Committee Yes terday Engaged in Organi- zation Work.

The county campaign began yester- day morning as soon as the newly nominated candidates got out of bed, had their breakfasts and reached the street and it may be expected to be prosecuted with yigOr until the last vote has been cast on November 9.
 Just where the storm centers will be has not yet been demonstrated but they will quickly develop as soon as the candidates get their bearings.
 A nights sleep, or rather, a half nights sleep had no modifying effect upon the adherents of MT. ClantOn in the democratic convention who feel that they were given the worst of it in the throwing out of the first ballot which they think would have nOminat- ed him. They assert that if he had failed of the nomination on that ballot he would have had so strong a lead that the moral effect of it would have assured his nomination on a later ballot
 County republican candidates weri never more confident of victory than the members of the present ticket and it is the judgment of those who have paid close attention to political mat ters that a large majority, at least of the ticket will be elected.
 After the nomination of the legisla- tive ticket on Tuesday night the dem ocratic precinct delegations nominated the following candidates for precinct officers:
 Phoenix-Justices. J. P. Bates and r. P. Parker; constables, NJ A. Ivy and J. T. Murphy.
 Tempe-Justice, Price Wickliffe {; constable, R. c. Estrada.
 Mesa-Justice. L. D. Guthrie; con- stable W. J. LeBarOn.

MAKES ASTONISHING CURES Mio-na Tablets Cure Dyspepsia By Promptly Removing the Cause,
 Or Money Back.

Mi-o-na is a scientific and effective remedy for the permanent cure of in digestion.
 Food is digested in the stomach by means of a churning movement of the walls of the stomach, which thoroughly mixes the food with the gastric or stomach juices.
 If the muscular walls are flabby and lack tone or energy. the stomach can not churn the food properly, and the digestive juices are not properly mixed with the food
 This causes indigestion. The common symptoms are: weight and fullness af- ter meals. coated tongue. bad taste in mouth, discharges of wind from the mouth, and belching of sour material.
 Dyspepsia cannot be cured by taking a digestor. such as pepsin. because pep sin simply digests your food artificially and not all Of the food either, for it such as potatoes. rice. oatmeal, bread etc.
 There is just one way to cure dys- p6psia and stomach disorders, trivial or serious, and that is to tone up or put energy into the stomach walls, so that they will be able to properly mix or churn the food.
 Mi-o-na tablets cure stomach trOu- bles by putting strength and energy into the stomach. They quickly arouse the stomach from its inaction, and in a short time it is able to do it's work properly.
 And bear in mind that when the stomach is in good condition, consti- patton disappears, also nervousness, drowsiness. night sweats, heartburn, etc.

envelope and he took it home. He did not see his mother put the medicine into the coffee.
 Mir Mcintyre had brought with him a bottle of the quinine. He said that it had been left at his house a year ago last August by a couple of pros pectors who had come to his house near the Wilson Crossing after swim ming the river. They took some of it to prevent catching cold. MT. Me Intyre could not say positively, but he believed that he had taken some of it last spring for d cold. The quinine was iu a small tin can from which his wife had taken the medicine given to the little boy The quinine in the bottle had. been taken from the same can with the same spoon used by his wife in giving the medicine to the little boy. MT. Mcintyre said that he had never had and strNchnine or other pois- oa about the house. Alr. Akin said that he had never kept any poison though about week ago he had used a powerful acid in burning warts from a horse.
 J. A. Porteric made a test of the medicine in the bottle, and decided that it was quinine. It was not suiu- D,e in water or alcohol but muriatic acid proved a solvent This test Was confirmed by Capt fly Mcdonald who tasted it. That proved that it was not white arsenic which is tasteless, though it is soluble only in the same manner in which ouinine is
 Physicians had performed an autop-
 i'm a report to the coroner It disclosed nothing that would be intellisible to a Iaymau but it was stated by the phy- siciaus that they had found resi- dunn in the stomach. about fifteen grains of what they believed to be strychniue and which responded to certain tests for strychnine. The same results were reached by a test of the residuum in the coffee cup. Also' similar results were reached by differ eut test at the Hotel Adams phar- macy.
 The inquiry made by the members of the coroner's jury was very search ing. They asked AIr Akin about the relations between himself and his wife and the state of mind of his wife dur ing the day before her death. They also inquired if there had ever been any trouble between his family and that of MT Mcintyre.
 Jr. Akin replied that the relations between his family and that of Mir. Mcintyre had always been of the friendlicst character and he said that on the day of her death his wife had been of an ordinarily cheerful mood

A MYSTERY
 OF POISON
Inquest Concerning Death
 of Mrs. Aiken
When Did What Was Qui- nine Turn Into Strych- nine?

The inquest into the circumstances of the death, presumably by poison, of Mrs ". M Akin. on Monday night was begun before Coroner Johnsuone yesterday afternoon and was continued until this morning. The witnesses were Mir Akin, his little son, Roy Akin and W. II. Mcintyre at whose house. the little boy got the supposed quinine which caused the death Of his mother
 The first witness was GIT. Akin, he said that he had left home early in the morning for his work on d ditch and returned sometime after noon and ate dinner. Later in the evening he returned again and after supper, being weary. Ee retired about eight o'clock. His wife took some of the medicine in cup of coffee The witness said he fell asleep at once but he had not slept long before his wife aroused him complaining of a pain in her stomach She had already been seized with con yuIsions. At first she did not think of the medicine as a possible cause of her distress but supposed that it was produced by rlamlency to which she was subject She asked her husband t1 call their little daughter and have her bring some soda and water which had always afforded her relief. The husband started to get it but his wife begged him to hold her hand and call the little girl. The remedy was brought and the woman took a mouth ful of it but probably swallowed none of it Then she thought of the med icine and remarked that perhaps some thing was wrong with that She want ed some cream and that was brought. In the meantime the convulsions were increasing in violence. At length she fell back on the bed and as she was failing cried to her husband to prevent her falling on the baby. There We're a few couvUlsive mOvements and all was over Mir. Akin said that death occurred within ten minutes from the time ne was awakened.
 The little boy said that it was four o'clock in the afternoon when his mother sent him to McInSyre's for the quinine Mrs. Mcintyre put it into an

SAMUEL J. RANDALL
 TRIED TO MURDER
An Indian Fight in Which Participant Was Badly Cut.

An attempt was made to murder an Indian late on Tuesday night by one of his countrymen and the latter did not fall far short of success, for when off cer Sullivan came across the victim he had been cut into ribbons. There were several slashes about his head and face There were jabs in his hands and arms. but the most serious injury was inflicted by a blow which so near ly severed the little finger of the right hand at the second joint that an ampu- tation was necessary.
 When the officer came upon the wounded Indian the latter said that he was looking for police protection. He was turned over to the county authOri- ties for further action in the matter which was beyond police court juris- dictiOn.
 A warrant yesterday morning was sworn out in Justice JohnstOne's court for the arrest of the notorious Samuel J. Randall. who has given the officers more trouble than any other Indian in these parts. There were two other In
