kidney trouble are but fore-runners
of more serious complaints. They
should be given attention before it
is too late.
Doan's Kidney Pills cure kidney
trouble. They are recommended by
thousands. Can Abilene residents
desire more convincing proof than
the statement of an Abilene citizen
who says that the cure Doan's Kid

JOHN JUST THUMPED HIM.
Former Abileneite Gave Ball Player
. ThreshIng.

Arkansas City Traveller; Buster
Brown, the ball player, and John
Julian, of the Bungalow, had q fall
ing out and before the trouble ended
blows were struck and bricks flew.
The exact truth is q little hard to OBJ
tain. but from the mouths Of multi
tude Of witnesses, we propose to give
each side and you can take your
choice. BY way Of preface let Y be re-
marked that Brown 10 a good ball
player when he wants to be--and
Julian is good restaurant man, run
ming nice, clean place. this being the
first time we have ever heard OF his
having trouble with anybody.
Here is the way some Of Browns
friends tell II: Julian saw Brown at
Rush's livery stable and slipped up
behind him and struck him behind
the ear with pair of large shears.
Shortly afterwards, when Brown was
In front of Lichty's he was seen py
Julian and again attacked, Brown
trying all the time to avoid trouble
and seeking to get away, Fleeing
to the wall" as the lawyers say, but
was unable to escape the awful
punishment melted out by Julian,
He picked up a couple Of bricks and
tossed them down street, Julian run
ming in front of one of sAem and strik-
ing II with his face. That the mar
shall grabbed Brown and while in his
clutches Julian landed a right hook
TO the Jaw and the referee counted
ten.
And according to some Of Julian's
friends, the trouble started last Sat-
urday, night when Brown ordered q
meal at the Bungalow and acted
very ungentlemanly in reference to
the service. The upshot was that
Julian threw him from the place.
Yesterday afternoon, as Julian was
passing Rush's barn Brown began TO-
use insulting language and gathered
ND some implement with which to
make an assault, but Julian was too
quick and dropped him an inshoot
which hurt his feelings. Julian came
up town and when in front OF Llch-
TVS, Brown, who had followed him,
began calling him names and threw
two bricks at him, one taking effect.
Then Brown tried to get away but
Julian thought he ought to have his
time at bat and pursued. They claim
that II Brown had run bases like he
sprlnted away from Julian to the
protection Of the marshal, he would
have been drafted by the National
League before now. When he reached
the marshals arms he halted, giving
Julian chance to catch up and Jul
ian hit a home run Just to pay for
the brick. Julian was arrested. but
why the marshal did not pinch Brown
is not explained. 1t is said that
Brown has "blOwn the town." Also
that he hes been ordered out Of two
other restaurants here, the Bretrun In
Winfield and that he has mad trou-
BILE in the hotel at every town where
the team stopped while away from
home.
From the above you may be able
to gather enough truth to setisfy
your own mind Of the facts, but we
may be permitted to add that thou
sands Of men much older than Brown
have stopped at many restaurants
and never found It necessary to start
