DEBT FOR sSS6 TOO
 MUCH FOR JOHNSON
Douglas Man Grabs Insurance Money and HieS Him To
 New Pastures,

DOUGLAS, Jan. 18.-(SpecIal)-
 Mir. and Mrs. John P. Johnson and family, former residents of Douglas are missing. All that Mir. Johnson Jeff to mark his brief residence in this city are the ruined walls of an adobe house in the Sunnyside addition where a fire recently occurred which netted the owner sSS6 in insurance, and a large number Of unpaid bills which some of the local business men hold against him. All efforts to discover his whereabouts have so far proved in vain.
 Mir. Johnson was a plasterer who i, came to Douglas less than a year ago and in that time has been quite busy at his trade. He seemed to be quite prosperous and not long ago made the first payment on lot in the northeast ern part of the city, where he shortly set to work building himself a home. l It Is a four-room dobe house and just ] as he had finished the building, and soon after he had taken out fire insur. | ance policy for thousand dollars, the house caught fire and being outside the fire limits was almost completely ruined.
 Within few days after the fire and before he had made any payments on the first bill of lumber, he ordered a new lot to refinish the interior as the walls were damaged. Mr Johnson was seemingly a very honest and hard working man, who had won many friends in the city and he had little trouble in getting credit at a number of business houses for the necessities of life and the furnishing of a home. While he was at work rebuilding his home drat came for $Ss6 in full pay ment for the settlement of his loss by the insurance company It seems that the draft was too strong for MT. John son to retain his moral footing. He was fairly carried off his feet by it, al though it can hardly be said that it toppled him over.
 He first took it to the banks. but being unabIe to secure the full amount in cash at once, he took to the express company which secured the money for AA4AA AAA c IS" dcts D. III tiIS ne had no trouble in getting a shotgun at one of the stores when he exihib- tied the draft. The morning after he secured the money from the express company he was not to be found in town. Inquiry at the local ticket office elicited the information that he had purchased four tickets for Fl Paso for the early morning train. As the John, son family consisted of five members it is logically supposed that all save the head of the family went to Fl Paso by train while he and his newly ac- quired shotgun and horse went over- land.
 One of his Douglas creditors found furniture he had sold him at one of the secondhand stores The others have been telegraphing to police au- thorities at Fl Paso to try and secure their arrest.

 Mr. Wm. Codier, of 408 Grayes Street, Syracuse, N.

It must have been commupi cated to my stomach, for all this time my stomach has given me a great deal of trouble, and caused me much pain and suffering. My stomach was often sour, and my food did not digest. | was bothered by continual desire to spit, and there was a constant drop ping of mucus into the throat.
 ''The first relief I have been able to obtain is from Cooper's New Discov- cry, which I have been taking for about week. My catarrhal condition has been greatly improved and my stomach Is almost we'll. MT. Cooper's medicine has benefited me more than anything l have ever used"

Birmingham, Ala, has this to say with regard to his belief in Cooper s medicine: q have been troubled with indigestion and stomach trouble for the past year. l had heartburn, bloat- ing after eating, gas on stomach and bowels, palpitation of the heart, pain in the lower part of my back. and various other symptoms, and was a victim of much distress. tried many remedies, but received little or no benefit from them. l was advised to try the Cooper preparations. and did so.

cumbency of the sheriff's Office he did
his duty in the enforcement OF the law
and there is no good reason to believe
he will not do so if reelected.
