Robbers Captured

The noise of the firing and scuff1ing
caused a general alarm and large
posse of men was formed 1t captur-
ed before daylight, not only the two
robbers, but two accomplices. All
four were sentenced to be hanged, but
at the last moment the sentences of
two were committed to life imprison-
ment and the other two paid the pen
atty on the gallows.
Alexander's life was despaired of,
and when he was thought to be dying
was married to his pretty young
fiancee by her request. He recovered,
and his bravery was rewarded by
the United States government with
post in the postal service

WIFE REPLACES HORSE
IN JUNKMAN'S TRUCK

CHICAGO, ILL, May 12.-(SpeciaD
-Harnessed between the shafts of a
wagon heavily laden with old iron,
bottles and rags, Mrs. Frank Mulcaski
wife of an Evanston junk dealer, has
taken up the task left off by the fam
lily horse at its death two weeks ago.
Daily she draws the wagon through
the streets of Evanston and Wilmette
and its suburban territory, responding
with alacrity to her husbands cries
of whoa" and "giddap" Gee" and
"haw" have been added to the vocabu-
larry with which she is addressed, in
dignant residents say. They are puZ-
zled as to how to stop the spectacle.
Although Mrs. Mulcaski had been do
ing substitute duty for the horse for
two weeks, general knowledge of the
fact did not come to the residents of
Evanston until yesterday, when she
appeared in one of the principal
streets drawing the wagon, which was
loaded with half ton of iron. Here
tofore her efforts had been confined
to the outskirts, where she astonished
suburban residents and automobile
parties
During the journey through the
downtown district of Evanston, her
husband either walked near her or
visited houses along the street in
search of chance customers. He car
ried whip which he formerly had
employed in urging his horse along,
but he was not seen to strike his
wife with it.
Mulcaskis home is outside of the
Evanston city limits. He occupies a
tumbledown cottage, scantily furnish
ed. Aside from this his sole posses
sion has been his horse and wagon.
When the horse became i'll and
died Mulcaski was in a dilemma
Without his wagon to haul the junk
he could purchase, he was unable to
make a living, and he had no money
with which to replace the dead horse.
Then the thought of Harvesting his
wife to the wagon occurred to him.
Some of those who have watched
Mulcaski's movements assert that he
does not always walk when his wife
is drawing the wagon. One spectator
asserts that the husband lay on the
bottom of the wagon, on one occa-
sion, and that the wife tugged vainly
in an effort to pull the vehicle up
the muddy incline of a bridge Her
efforts broke one of the traces, it is
said, allowing the wagon to run back
down the incline and dumping Null
caski in the mud.

FORTUNE AT HAND;
PAUPER SUCCUMBS

FREEPORT, ILL, May 12.-(Spe-
ciaD After twenty years in the
county poorhouse, Johnnie jerks,
an aged Irishman, died today when
a fortune of 100000 recently willed
to him was about to be turned over.
jerks proved to be the nearest re-
lative to Mrs Lucy Millets, who died
several months ago in San Francisco
and left him her entire estate.
1t was with difficulty that jerks
was found by California attorneys.
The preliminary steps in the transfer
of the property had been taken when
jerks died. He was pioneer settler
of this locality. He was never mar
ried.

MI-O-NA MEANS STOMACH COM.
FORT.
It's of Special Value to Many Here
i'm Americas.

A notable discovery, and one that
appeals especially to many people in
Americas is the combination of stom-
ach help in the Mi-o-na treatment
This preparation works wonders in
cases of indigestion or weak stom-
ach.
1t acts directly upon the walls OF
the stomach and bowels, strengthen
ing and stimulating them SO that they
readily take care of the food that is
eaten without distress or suffering.
So positive are the good effects fol-
lowing the use of Mi-o-na that the
remedy is sold by Dodson's Pharmacy
under an absolute guarantee to re-
fund the money if it fails to cure. A
50-cent box of Mi-o-na will do the
good the stomach needs, which is
simply to make it do its own work.
