CUBS FOOD.
They Thrive on Grape-Nuts.

Healthy babies don't cry and the we'll
nOurished baby that is fed on Grape
Nuts is never a crying baby. Many
babies who cannot take any other food
relish the perfect food, Grape Nuts, and
get well.
my little baby was given up by three
doctors who said that the condensed
milk on which had fed her had ruined
the child's stomach. One of the doc
tors told me that the only thing to do
would be to try Grape-Nuts, SO I got
some and prepared it as follows: 1
soaked IL tablespoonfuls in one pint
of cold water for half an hour, then
strained off the liquid and mixed u tea
spoonfuls of this strained Grape-Nuts
Juice with six teaspoonfuls of rich
milk, put in pinch of salt and a lit
tie sugar, warmed it and gave it to
baby every two hours.
TN this simple, easy way / saved
baby's life and have built her up to
strong healthy child, rosy and laughing.
The food must certainly be perfect to
have such a wonderful effect as this I
can truthfully say I think 1t is the best
food in the world to raise delicate ba-
hies on and is also a delicious health
full food for gr0wn-ups as we have dis
covered in our family"

PROSTATE MAN
USES REVOLVER
David Graham Fires Three
Shots at Albert DonneIIy
in Saloon Row.
TWO TAKE EFFECT IN LEG
GRAHAM LOCKED UP; INJURED
MAN TAKEN TO HOSPITAL.

Albert Donnelly, formerly a bartender
at the Utopia saloon, had a narrow es-
cape from death yesterday afternoon in
the Coriantop bar. 16S West South Tenn
pie. when David Graham. a cook. fired
three shots at him. Donnelly was wound
ed in the leg in two places and was taken
to st. Marks hospital for treatment. Ora
nam was arrested and locked in the city
Jail
According to the story told by bystand-
ers, Donnelly and Graham had been drink
ing IN the saloon for some time. Graham
seemed to be the, only one of the pair
who had money. The two men became
intoxicated and engaged in a heated ar
gument concerning ireland.
Donnelly at last became so angry that
he struck Graham, knocking him to the
floor. Graham, who is an old man about
% years of age, drew his revolver and,
as Donnelly bent over to strike him again.
fired the three shots. 1t was only his poor
craftsmanship that saved Donnelly from
death.
Charles S. Swain. who had witnessed
the trouble, ran from behind the bar and
dlsarmed Graham. He then hurried out
side and found Policeman j. D. Lyon.
The policeman hurried into the saloon,
Wnere he found Graham near the back
door. It is supposed that the cook was
contemplating making his escape.
Donnelly was first taken to the emer-
gency hospital at police headquarters,
where he was attended by City Physi-
clan Stewart. 1t was later decided to re-
move him to ST Marks.
The weapon used by Graham in at
tempting to kill Donnelly was an auto
matte revolver. The bullets. after wound
ing Donnelly, passed through the ceiling
of the saloon This is looked upon as
confederation of the witnesses, who de-
clared that the old man fired the shots
after he had been knocked down.

CALLS HIS NAME
THREE TIMES
Deputy Makes Formal 0utCry
When Ward Fails to Ap-
pear for Trial.
ECHO is ONLY RESPONSE
COMIC OPERA BOND APPROVED
BY DIEHL is FORFEITED.

When Judge George C. Armstrong
yesterday ordered forfeited the 81, 600
bond furnished to secure thep resence
of j. c. Ward when his trial was
called, the judge smiled broadly, know
ing the bond was not worth the paper
1t was written on.
Ward last October is said to have
robbed Simon T. Beck of $50. He was
represented in the police court by
bill" Newton, and when he was bound
over for trial his bond was fixed at
s., 900.
Newton went out into the highways
and bywayS and secured two bonds
men. These gentlemen purported to be
Ambrose Byrnes and Charles Osborne
Needless to say Ward has not been
seen since and a search for his bonds
men has proved futile, as their names
do not appear in the directory or on
the personal or real property tax rolls
of the county. 1t appears, however,
that Judge Diehl was satisfied with
their ability to pay the 81 900, for he
approved of the bond. Another strange
feature in the case is that in the body
of the bond OSbOrne's name is spelled,
"Osburn.''
The case was called in the district
court yesterday for the second time 1t
came up a week ago and because of
Wards failure to appear was post
poned, in order to give the district at
torney and sheriff time to investigate.
When Judge Armstrong brought the
matter up yesterday, Deputy Sheriff
Fred Butler was instructed to call
Wards name three times, according to
custom. Butler went into the hall and
aside from making considerable noise
his effort did not bring results Then
the farce of ordering the straw bond
forfeited was gone through with.
Sheriff Emery and his deputies, how
ever, have not given up hope of cap
turing Ward, and if they land him he
will undoubtedly be made to suffer for
his failure to appear. An effort is be-
ing made to ascertain who signed the
bond. as it is not believed that the men
gave their right names.

mo Report on the BRIDGE.

The expected report on the matter OF
joining with the city in building a new
bridge across the old channel of the Og-
den river at the mouth of Ogden canyon
failed to materialize at yesterdays ses-
sion of the board of county commission
ers. Instead Commissioner Frank Moore
who represents the commissioners and the
joint committee, asked for and was al
lowed additional time upon which to make
a report
Treasurer A. d. Chambers appeared be-
fore the board and stated that he was
making q call for warrants to collect in
consecutive numbers up to a certain date
and asked the board to order the trans
fer of 81, 400 from the general to the poor
fund. The requist was granted.

BANKERS BILL INTRODUCED

Washington, Jan. PA currency bin
was introduced in the senate today by
Senator Hopkins and in the house by
James Mckinney of Illinois. which
bears the endorsement of the currency
commission appointed by the American
Bankers association and of the associ-
alton itself.
The bill is the result of the hearings
and subsequent deliberations of the
commission which was appointed by
the association two years ago. The
text of the bill was made public in
Chicago Jan. 10 last. The commission
is composed of fifteen of the most
prominent bankers of the United
States, and they are from all sections
of the country.
Explaining the bill, Mr.. Mckinney
said that it gives greater elasticity in
the issue and redemption of national
bank guaranteed credit notes over that
granted to national banks at the pres
ent time. II is claimed that if the bill
had been a law at the present time it
would have given to the country 1885,
100000 to meet the recent crisis.
