ACQUITTED
FOUND NOT GUILTY OF CONSPIR.
AcY TO MURDER GOVERNOR
STEUNENBERG.
COURT FREES M0YER
PERJURY CASES AGAINST FEDER-
ALTON WITNESSES ARE
:, ALSO DIMINISHED.

Boise, Idaho.-The end OF the prose.
cution Of tho men charged with the
murder of Ex-Governor Frank Steunen-
berg, with the exception of the cases
OF Harry Orchard and Jack Simpkins,
came Saturday with the acquittal Of
George il. Pettibone.
Charles H. Meyer, president of the
Western Federation of Miners, was
formally released Saturday afternoon
at O'Clock and will return with Pet
tibone in few days to Denver.
The case of Orchard, the self-con-
tossed assassin of Steunenberg. is in
the hands of Prosecuting Attorney Van
Duyn, of Canyon county. No state
ment as to the future procedure in
that case has Eeen made, but it will
be called during the next term OF
court at Caldwell, when it will prob
ably be finally disposed of.
Simpkins, member of the executive
board of the Western Federation of
Miners, who is charged with compile
ity in the crime, is a fugitive from JUS.
tice, and the charge against him Will
stand.
When the Meyer case was called by
Judge Wood Saturday afternoon, James
H. Hawlay, representing Prosecuting
Attorney Van Duyn, signified the de.
sire ST ;ha state to have an order OF
dismissal entered.
II am satisfied" said Judge Wood,
that the course taken by the district
attorney and decided upon by attor-
neys for the state, is the proper course
to be taken in the matter. l have
watched the evidence carefully, so far
as the connecting and corroborating
evidence under the statute was con
cerned in its application to this defen-
dant, and there has certainly moth
ing developed in the two cases that
would Justify the court in submitting
the case against him to a jury, un-
less there was considerable additional
connecting testimony to that which
which has been shown In the two cases
that have been tried, and for that rea-
son the case will be dismissed and an
order exonerating the bail of the de-
fenGHnt."
In addition to dismissing the case
against C. H. Meyer. the state dis
missed the perjury case against DR..
McGhce of Spokane and C. w. Alley
of Cripple Creek, both of whom were
accused Of giving false testimony in
the Haywood case. 1t is understood
the case against Yost, charged with
tampering with talesman during the
Haywood trial, will also be dismissed.
Although the Pettibone jurors
agreed that their deliberations should
be kept secret, it is stated that on the
first ballot the vote was to A, the
majority being for acquittal.
The second ballot resulted in vote
o, 9 to 8.
The third stood 10 to 2 and so it re-
manned all through the night. The
two ilolding out for conviction were
finally won over.

FOUND A WAY
To Be Clear of the Coffee Troubles.

Husband and myself both had the
coffee habit and finally his stomach
and kidneys got in such bad condi-
tion that he was compelled to give up
a good position that he had held for
years. He was too sick to work. His
skin was yellow, and ! hardly think
there was an organ in his body that
was not affected.
II told him I felt sure his sickness
was due to coffee and after some dis
cussion he decided to give it up.
"It was a struggle because Of the
powerful habit One day we heard
about Postum and concluded % try it.
and then it was easy to leave of
coffee.
"His fearful headaches grew less
frequent, his complexion began to
clear, Kidneys grew better until at
last he was a new man altogether. as
a result of leaving off coffee and TAX
ing up Postum. Then l began to
drink it. too.
although I was never as bad off
as my husband, | was always very
nervous and never at any time very
strong, only weighing 95 lbs. before
l began to use Postum. Now l weigh
lis lbs. and can do as much work as
anyone my size, l think.
MANY do not use Postum because
they have not taken the trouble to
make it right. l have successfully
fooled great many persons who have
drunk it at my table. They would
remark, You must buy high grade
of coffee One young man who clerked
in a grocery store was very enthusias-
tic about my coffee When l told
him what it was, he said, why I've sold
Postum for four years but l had no
idea it was like this. Think I'll drink
Postum hereafter.

A sTATEMENT as TO TICKS.
An Corrections of False Reports Con-
cerning the Pest.

1s Clemson College, October 3.-Spe-
Nclal. stock owners have recently re-
ported the presence of Texas fever
ticks on rabaits and dogs. Others
claim to have seen them on persons,
and few state that they found thes.,
ticks In woods and fields where cat
tie have never grazed. These state
mepts are false, although in the ma
1ority of cases the persons making
Inem were undoubtedly sincere.
Ihese reports have done some dam
age, and for this reason persons
should not circulate these tales unless
lhey first examine the ticks very care
fully and prove beyond doubt that
they are dealing with the true Texas
fever tick.
Many of these reports have been
\ investigated by skilled veterinarians.
33who report that they have found four
Fdtstinct and separate species of ticks.
which might easily be mistaken for
fever ticks, in the northern counties
OF this state.
The fever tick is only found on
cattle, and occasionally on horses and
mules. 1t never attaches itself to
dogs, rabbits or man; therefore, these
animals need not be taken into con-
sideration when forming plans for
the eradication Of this pest from pas
lures.
Eight different species Of ticks re-
sembling the Texas fever tick have
been found in the southern portion
OF the United State. Probably the
most common tick in South Carolina
is the Lone Star Tick" so Gated
because of the white spot upon It's
back. This tick is often found on
dogs, horses. sheep, hogs, cattle and
man Even a casual examination
will enable an unskilled person to
recognize these ticks and distinguish
them from the fever tick, which has
no star or spot on it's back
Other common ticks are the castor
bean and the dog or wood tick, which
are found on cattle, goats, sheep,
dogs, cats and horses. The last men
toned tick Is very common, and a
' persons clothing is often covered
with them after walking through
woods and abandoned fields.
Another common tick is the "star
TICK which Is found in the ears of
horses, mules, cattle and other ami
mails.
These ticks are all ablood-sucking
parasites, but do not take any part
in the transmission Of Texas fever,
commonly called murrain, distem-
per, etc).
Reports similar to those Just men
toned are confusing and discourage
Ing to cattle owners who want to
eradicate this dangerous parasite. In
a few instances we have met farmers
who have become discouraged and
have given up in despair after finding
ticks on rabbits. dogs and other ami
mails. Fever ticks are never found
on these animals.
l would be glad to receive ticks,
resembling the fever tick, which are
found on dogs, rabbits and other ami
mails. M. Ray Powers,
State Veterinarian
