UnkOWn Mexican
Killed by Train

Saturday morning passenger train
No. 8 ran over Mexican, who was
lying across the track about a half
mile west of Ft. Thomas. The man
apparently had been sleeping on the
track, probably in a drunken stupor.
His body was seen too late to stop
the train, with the result that when
he was picked up by the railroad
men, one arm and one leg had been
completely severed from the body,
and the head had been crushed into
an unrecognizable mass.
1t was impossible to learn the
name of the man, or where he be-
longed.

A SPRAINED ANKLE

AS usually treated a sprained
ankle will disable the injured per-
sons for a month or more, but by
applying Chamberlain sLiniment and
observing the directions with each
bottle faithfully, a cure may, in
most cases, be effected in less than
one weeks time. This liniment is a
most remarkable preparation; try it
for a sprain or a bruise, or when
laid up with chronic or muscular
rheumatism, and you are certain to
be delighted with the prompt relief
which it affords. For sale by SAT-
