That's the Way to Pronounce HyOmei, the
M9ney.Back Catarrh Cure.

AS doubt exists in the minds of man
readers of the Record let us say that
the above is the proper pronunciation OF
Americas most wonderful catarrh cure.
Chas. Rhodes is the agent for Hyomei
in Alma and he will sell you an inhaler,
a bottle of Hyomei, and full ,instruc-
tions for use, for only 500.
And if it fails to cure acute or chronic
catarrh, asthma, bronchitis. Group, hay
fever or coughs and colds, he will give
you your money back. The person who
suffers from catarrh after SUCH IAN offer
as that, must like to shuttle, spit and
wheeze, and be generally disgusting.
Read what Mr.. g. +. Lowe says:
81 have used Hyomei for case of
nasal catarrh which had bothered me
for long time. l can say that Hyomei
killed the germs of the disease and gave
me the much sought and needed relief.
From this experience know Hyomei to
be a reliable remedy, and l give it the
praise and recommendation that it de-
serves'-G- f. Lowe, K. +. ID. ;No. Z,

News OF the Courts
FALSE Imprisonment
AND ASSAULT ALLEGED
BY MERCHANT IN COURT
Plaintiff Claims He Is Victim of Third
Degree at Hands of City
Detectives

Trial of the suit of l. Silverstein, a
merchant at 1886 North Main street,
against Thomas and Louis Rico, city
detectives, in which $4,000 is demand
ed for alleged false Imprisonment and
assault was begun before a jury in
Judge Hervey's department of the su-
perior court yesterday and will be con-
cluded today.
Silverstein says he was a victim of
the third degree" the dreaded ordeal
being in charge of the two Ricos at
the police station following his arrest
April 20, 1908
Il was arrested without warrant,
handcuffed at my store and taken to
the police station, where l was struck
several times while undergoing what
l believe is called the third degree.
My friends were not permitted to give
bail for my release. All this occurred
simply because some goods pledged to
me five months before had been sold"
The goods were pledged by Maximo
Sanchez in December, 1907. They
were fifty-six phonograph records, for
which Sanchez received SO. When he
returned for the records in April Sill
verstein said he had sold them, and
Sanchez appealed to the police.
Dave Silverstein, a son of the plain
tiff, said he had sustained losses at the
hands of Louis Rico prior to the time
of his fathers arrest. Rico, he said,
came to the store one day and pur-
chased a billy, for which payment has
never been made. Later, he added,
Rico took a pistol saying he wanted
to borrow 1t during a trip through
Chinatown. Neither the weapon nor
it's equivalent in money had been re-
ceiVed by the storekeeper.
On still another occasion young Sill
verstein told the jury, Rico took a
watch from the store, claiming it was
stolen and that he wanted to use ii as
evidence.
when my father asked him to re-
turn 1t he said he would try to sell
it," said the witness. Several weeks
later he gave my father $3.50, saying
he would try to get the rest of the
money, but we never received any
more"

nance was not finding favor in the
council, and Mr.. Ireland asked that tne
council keep its promise made Two
years ago. He threatened that unless
the council did stick to the terms or
the resolution he would institute pro-
ceedings for an initiative.
Attorney Jud Rush. representing tne
Theatrical Managers association, salo
that the petition had been presented
and the resolution of the council passed
on false representations. He declared
the petitioners had pretended to rep
resent the overworked actors and ac-
tresses who wanted a day of rest, but
that the actors and actresses did not
want the theaters closed on Sunday
and repudiated the petitioner who pro-
posed to speak for them.
Calls Ordinance Unfair
Leon Labonde, from the lobby,
wanted to know If the ordinance pro-
posed to close all places of amuse-
ment, such as the Chutes, Sunday
ball games and the like, and declared
If it did not the ordinance was not a
fair one.
Dromgold declared the council would
have to stick to the promise it had
made and pass the ordinance, and he
moved as a substitute that the rules
be suspended and the ordinance placed
on its passage. No one seconded his
substitute, and President Pease called
Dromgold to the chair and took the
floor to second it himself. He declared
he did so as a matter of honor, that
the council had pledged its word and
should not go back on it.
The substitute motion was put and
voted on, but was thoroughly defeated
by the vote of six noes to two ayes.

DELAY IN CARLSON FALSE
ENTRY CASE IS DENIED

w. II. Carlsons appeal for delay IN
commencing his trial on the charge OF
making a false entry of $4,000 IN the
books of the Consolidated bank De
cember %. 1907, was denied by Judge
Davis of the criminal court yesterday
and the examination of jurors TO Try
the case was begun.
Carlson filed two affidaVits IN sup
port of his motion for continuance
one signed by himself, the otner py
DIR. NJ. l.. Moore, the physician stating
Mrs. Carlson was on the verge OF
nervous collapse. Carlson averred ne
was unprepared for trial, was without
financial means and that his business
needed personal attention. The testl-
mony of A. ]. Anderson, former cash
Ter. and J. E. Larson, former assistant
cashier of the Consolidated bank, ne
stated, was necessary in his de1ense
and these men were out or the CITY
and could not reach here for some
time.
Deputy District Attorney Blair. who
is prosecuting the case, replied that
the trial was first set for August. ana
Judge Davis took Mr.. Blair's view or
the matter when he stated there mad
been ample time for preparation ana
securing the attendance of witnesses.
Carlson took advantage yesterday OF
the offer of Judge Davis to appoint
counsel to defend him and the court
named Attorney NJ. A. Fleming and
the firm of Willis and Robinson. In
the previous trial on an embezzlement
charge, which resulted in disagree
ment by the jury, Carlson refused as
sistance of counsel, because, he said,
the trial would be delayed owing to the
necessity of going over his papers 10
acquaint the attorneys with his de-
fense.
The examination of talesmen for
Jury service yesterday was of the most
penetrating nature, this fact being es-
pecially noted in the questioning by
Deputy District Attorney Blair. Twelve
men to try the case were selected when
the court adjourned until this morn
ing.
