BAsY's WATERY ECZEMA
itched and Scratched Until Blood Ran
$50 Spent on Useless Treatments
Disease Seemed lncurabIe.
Cured by cuticura for $1.5o.

when my little boy was two and q
half months old he broke out on both
cheeks with eczema. 1t was the itchy,
watery kind and we had to keep his
little hands wrapped up all the time,
and If he would happen to get them
uncovered he would claw his face till
the blood streamed down on his cloth
ing. We called in physician at once,
but he gave an ointment which was SO
severe that my babe would scream
when it was put on. We changed
doctors and medicine until we had
spent fifty dollars or more and baby
was getting worse. l was so worn out
watching and caring for him night and
day that 1 almost felt sure the disease
was incurable. But finally reading of
the good results of the Cuticura Rem
edies. l determined to try them. 1
can truthfully say I was more than
surprised, for l bought only dollar
and a haIrs worth of the Cuticura
Remedies (Cuticura Soap, Ointment
and Pills), and they did more good than
all my doctors medicines l had tried,

JUDGE FIDDLE AT DENVER SEES
CONSPIRACY TO WRECK
RAILROAD COMPANY.
PRIME MOVER HIDDEN
TEMPORARY INJUNCTION DIRECT
ED AGAINST ALL ENEMIES
OF THE ROAD.

Denver.-Judge Harry C. Riddle in
the district court Saturday granted the
temporary injunction prayed for by
the Denver. Laramie & Northwestern
railroad and the Northwestern Land &
Iron company against Neels Olsen and
others, holding that the evidence
showed that a conspiracy had been
formed to put the road and its sub
sidiary companies in the hands of the
receiver and wreck them.
The decision came at l o'clock,
Judge Riddle declaring that he had
heard all the evidence necessary to de-
termine the question. When asked
that the case be given an early trial
by Attorney Harvey Riddell he said
that he had no doubt that the hearing
for permanent injunction could be
had this term of court. There Is no
appeal from a temporary injunction so
that the next step will be the perma-
nent hearing.
In the course of his remarks Judge
Riddle placed the blame not entirely
on the defendants named in the suit
He gave credence to the rumors that
the real defendant was not in court
That is the defendants who put up the
money to carry on the fight against
the Denver, Laramie & Northwestern.
He did say that the proof of an at
tempt to plunder the road was con-
elusive, but said that the defendants
named Olsen, Captain Davenny, T. H.
Tillotson, F. E. Bryans and o. E. Hun
gate, had no reason for making the at
tempt as far as disclosed by the pro-
ceedings. There must have been some
other course from which the large
sums of money came to prosecute the
case against the road, he said. All
this is in direct conformity with the
tales that jealousy and rivalry of the
road led to the campaign against it.
Judge Riddle completely exonerated
Attorney A. NJ. Stevenson, saying that
he never at any time believed him to
be one of the conspirators and that it
gave MIN pleasure to say so. Judge
Riddle not only restrained the defend
ants named from interfering with the
road in any way, applying for the re-
ceivership and molesting it, but held
the injunction in such a manner that
any other persons who may attempt to
interfere with it will be promptly
placed under the same order of court.
