D|CK FLETCHER FREED
 BY THE GRAND JURY
The Evidence Indicated That the Ter ritcry Could Not Get Over the Plea of Self Defense.

The grand jury yesterday gave Dick Fletcher his freedom. ignoring both the charge of murder and the charge of manslaughter against him. in con- nection with the killing of Tom Clark a couple of weeks ago. This was the first matter taken up on the converting of the grand jury and its consideration occupied all of Wednesday afternoon. Every witness who knew anything of the tragedy was examined and the conclusion was reached that th4 plea of self defense would acquit the de- fendant before any jury.
 Yesterday was the day to which the preliminary examination of the de- fendant had been continued by Justice Johnstone. That was a purely formal matter and again the defendant was taken before the committing magis- trate and formally discharged.
 The first report of the grand jury, included. beside. the following indict- ments: Against Gilbert Thomas and Marion Taylor. two Indians boys charged with the systematic and long continued burglary of a little store near the Indian school
 Eulogia Bracamanote for sticking 2. knife in the back of her husband. The husband is now in jail awaiting tho action of the grand jury on the charge of robbery.
 Charles Dixon for shooting George Duval at the Five Points corral last summer.
 Abram Lopez and Roy Cooper for the theft of bicycles.
 Jose Otero who had been held for an assault with intent to commit murder was discharged. Otero is a Yaqui and Alvarez the man attacked by him in the lower part of the valley is also a member of the tribe.
 The grand jury submitted no other report but it is likely that one will be handed in this morning

The headquarters of l.. T. Cooper, the young man who claims that the stomachs of many Americans are de- generate, has presented a scene of unusual activity for the past few days.
 Cooper with his assistants is meet ing the public at present in New York. The success he has had in other cities seems to have followed him here, for an astonishing number of people are calling to have his theory and medicines explained to them.
 Thursday afternoon when inter viewed. Cooper said: T am often asked if my medicine is good for kid ney trouble, or liver complaint, or rheumatism, or a dozen other diseases too numerous to mention. These are hard questions to answer. Frankly, my treatment is for the stomach and for the stomach alone, but if the function of digestion is being properly performed very few people can be sick.
 The stomach is the seat of life. The entire system depends upon its action. Why are there so many half sick people today? It is because the stomach of a man or woman who lives a shut-up life day after day, taking little or no exercise in the fresh air. cannot digest the amount of food that is forced upon it. It gradually grows weaker under these circumstaces, and nervousness, kid ney trouble. rheumatism, etc, is the result.
 "I am successful with my treat ment because the medicine cleans out the food tracts that have become clogged. gets the digestive organs regulated and gives nature a chance. Give nature a chance, that's the se- cret of health.
 Last year I was on a fishing trip

 Says Cooper.

in Northern Minnesota. I had two guides who had spent their lives in the woods trapping. hunting and fish ing When came these men would eat a frying pan full of bacon, pour ing the grease over great hunks of a soggy sort of bread The sight of these slabs of bacon would sicken most New Workers, but these men munched it down with a relish and then rolled up in a blanket and slept like logs. They never knew they had stomach, so perfectly did the gas tric juices perform their function l asked them if they were eyer sick. They both laughed at the idea. Never had a minutes sickness, they said.
 Modern conditions make it impos- sible for people to live as these men live. but if they get their digestiOns in shape there will be mighty little rheumatism or kidney trouble or liver complaint. I do not believe in talk ing medicine unless it is necessary. but if a man or woman is suffering with what is called a general run down condition and what 1 call a played out stomach will take Coop CTS New Discovery for six weeks, can assure them they will need no more medicine for many months to come.
 "'The proof of the pudding is in the eating I have been in New York only two weeks. Today l have had a dozen people call and thank me for my wonderful medicine as they call it. These are only the first. Such people will call by hun dreds before I leave"
 Cooper's New Discovery is now on sale at leading drug stores through out the United States. 1t has made a remarkable record. Ask your drug gist for it.

THINNER MAKES TRIP
 OVER AUTO COURSE
WILL DRIVE HIS OWN CAR IN
 RACE FOR CUP.
Part of the Trip Was Made at the
 Rate of Fifty-Five Miles An Hour.

Los Angeles. Nov 5.--F. C. Fenner of the White garage has returned after a second trip over a part of the course on the great Los Angeles Phoenix au- tomOhie race for the cup offered by The Arizona Republican. He has de- cided to drive his own car in the race against Shettler's Kisselkar, Tobasco and Smiths Fillmore, the Bulldog.
 He left Sunday afternoon in Black Bess with Happy Forbes, as me chanican. They reached San Bernar- dino two hours later From San Der doc to Beaumont, where the night was spent, the road was good and fast time was made. Beaumont is eighty-siN miles from Los Angeles. Next morn- ing they left Beaumont and went to Palm Springs. twenty eight miles fur ther on No attempt was made to go further. the crew turning back here reaching Los Angeles at 5:30 that af- ternOon after covering 1l4 miles Of hard road. A good deal of the trip was made at the rate of fifty-five miles an hour This run was not really a trial trip but only to ease up the engine and tires Fenner reported the roads as far as he went Go be in a little bet ter condition than when he last went over the course. From all indications he said that it looked as though a sand storm would sweep the country followed by a rain storm that night. The sand would do no good but a rain would help out the desert road a lit tie.
 Captain H. D. Ryus who has driven the White to victory to Mt. Baldy in every race will drive the car from here to Mecca, a distance of 14S.7 miles. Forbes will act as mechanican. It will be remembered that Ryus and Happy were the crew on the win ming car to Baldy in the last race. Captain Ryus drove Black Bess to Baldy the first two races. when she was used, and consequently knows the car like a book Captain Ryus. in Mercury, this years Baldy racer, also left here Sunday for a trip over the course from here to Mecca in order to become more familiar with the course. Charles Case rode with him to Palm Springs where he took on Forbes as mechanican. He reported the course the other side of Palm Springs very sandy but he successfully drove the steamer through it without mishap. Ryus returned yesterday. From Mecca to Phoenix. a distance of 307 miles. Fenner will drive the car with G. M. Adair as mechanican. Fenner is quite familiar with the road from there to the finish. He has made three trips between here and Phoenix and with his years of other experience on the desert he certainly will make a driver hard to beat.
 Black Bess the white steam car that will be used in an early '05 model 'E'' 20 horsepower car. She is four years old and has run 10000 miles. Fenner said last evening. -@Rlack Bess is in perfect condition and if we do not win we have no excuses to offer. She was entered in this race by the White garage.

little for butter fat and charge
much for butter, but this is denied by
the compliments, who assert that &C
tive competition exists in SO per cent
of the territory. Another defense OF
the railroads us that the rates were
originally made for milk and that as
cream is worth three or four times as
much as milk, bulk for bulk, it should
take a higher rate.
Charge Criminal Conspiracy.
One point strongly urged by the
creaneries is that the raise In rates
was the result of a criminal consplr-
acy of the railroads, and they have
big batch of letters to prove that con-
cert OF action was had by the various
roads before arriving at decision.
The creamery men assert further that
the testimony taken before Commits
sioner Prouty showed that the rail-
road managers did not know what the
cost Of carrying cream was, and that
they were simply making an increase
because they desired more revenue.
The claim of the railroads that the
new rates would revive the local
creamery which they say was put out
of business by the centralizers, is Wig
orously disputed, the fact being that
all of these have failed and will fail
under any schedule of rates because
there is not a large enough milk or
cream supply in their neighborhoods
to keep them going.

Sioux City, Dec. 3.-Two Sioux City
corporations are vitality interested in
a case argued at Washington before
the interstate commerce commission.
These are the Blue Valley creamery
and the Hanford Produce company.
Both of these appear with the Beat
rice Creamery company of Lincoln,
the Fairmont creamery, of Omaha, and
some fourteen other corporations en-
gagged in the same business in an ac-
ton to prevent the railroads of the
trans Mississippi and trans Missouri
country from enforcing a new sched-
ule of rates that increase the cost of
carrying cream from SO to 122 per
cent The creameries ask an order
from the commission that the old
rates shall remain in force and effect.
With the centralized creameries Of
the west this case is a life or death
struggle They asserted in their argu-
ments today that the new rates would
wipe out all of their profits and cause
an annual deficit of 100000. The bust
ness is run on a margin of half a cent
profit on each pound of butter manu-
featured The creamery men say that
they cannot stand the burden imposed
by the new rates and that the farmer
will not, because rather than take less
for his butter fat he will quit dairy
ing, as experience has shown. AS those
centralized creameries operating in
the territory wherein the raise in rates
IS made manufacture only a tenth of
the butter made in the United States,
they are impotent to pass on the raise
to their customers.
Railroads Want More.
The railroads assert that the orig
inal rates were made for the purpose
of helping out an impoverished ter
ritory, and that now that it has become
prosperous the rates should be in
creased They say, too. that the cen
tralizers are in a combination to pay
