Edwin Esan Murdered.

Last Wednesday evening about eight o'clock. Edwin Egan, who for more than thirty years has resided on his ranch near Oalabasas, this county, was brutally murdered
 When last seen alive Mr. E gan was cooking his supper about 6:3O We'd nesday evening, in the house where he lived alone.
 Early Thursday morning when work men came to his house they found all doors locked, and upon making rx animation saw Mir. Esan lying on the floor. They hurried to Oalab ,sas and notified J. E Wise and Ralph Mo Oorkle, who went to the ranch and found their neighbor cold in death, his brains having been bsaten out with . rife and his throat cut from ear to ear in most horrible manner.
 Sheriff Saxon was notified and he and Coroner Chatham, District Attor- ney OOonnor and Undertaken Kelly immediately left for the ranch Tn Karns' auto.
 The body was found lying on the floor in a pool of blood the face and head horribly mutilated and the throat cut almost from ear to ear. The OOuy Ok OAO uinhs WhOoO hands had been tied behind his back. was lJlug on thin mattress, with the bloody rifle and butcher knife on top, where they had apparently been care fully placed by the tiend-or isnds in. carnate, for reasons unknown.
 The motive for, the crime is supposed to have been both robbery and revenge, as the house had been ransacked be- fore the murderers left. The placing of the gun and knife upon the dead mans body suggests the revenge theo- ry. Mir. Eagan, who was bachelor and lived alone, was thought to have money concealed about the house Some time ago he is known to have had trouble with one of his ranch hands, whom he drove from the place
 Sheriff Saxon immediately proceed ed to work on the case in his own manner, and Thursday afternoon rode out to Oalabasas and arrested Ca siano Romero, young Indian Mexi- can, on suspicion, and brought him to the county jail. It is said the Sheriff, and his deputies tracked Romero from Eagan's corral to his home, where they found him washing a pair of overalls and found him with blood be- spat- tered shirt on. The Indian since hi arrest has refused to talk, nor has ht asked why he was arrested.
 Romero is the nan who quarelec with Egan, and the Sheriff believes he has Egan's murderer.
 The dead rancher was about sixty years of age. unmarried A sister Miss Kittie Egan, resides at Noun, Morris, New York. She has been no- tifed but at this writing has not beer heard from
 The brutal murder of Edwin Egan who was one of the county's oldest most highly respected we'll to do citi zens, has caused bitter feeling against certain element of undesirable clti- zens" who have for many years beer suspected of various crimes.
 If blood hounds. such as used in the south. had been put on the bloody tria of the murderer, he would long ert this have been run to earth.
 Sheriff Saxon is working like beaver, and is doing his duty faith fully and well; with the aid of blood hounds, his work would be easy, with chances of failure small.

CATARRH CURED.
No Cure, No Pay, Is Most Gener-
rt Gus Offer.

~ To get an antiseptic strong
enough to kill catarrh germs and
not destroy the tissues of the men,
brane at the same time, has been a
problem which was never solved I'M
til the discovery of Hyomei (pro-
nounced High-o-Me.)
Hyomei is prepared from eucalyp-
tus, the most powerful yet healing
antiseptic known. Breathe it through
the inhaler over the inflamed and
germ-ridden membrane four or five
times a day, and in a few days the
germs will disappear.
The inflamed condition will go
too, and the snuffing, hawking and
offensive breath, and the discharge
of mucous and crusts in the nose
will cease.
Then why should any catarrh suf-
ferer hesitate when Hood & Curtin
have such faith in Hyomei that they
offer to return your money II after
a fair trial Hyomei does not cure
catarrh.
A complete Hyomei outfit, includ-
ing the inhaler, costs $1.00, and ex-
ira bottles. II Afterwards needed
cost but SO cents Hyomei also cures
asthma. Group, sore throat, coughs,
colds. or grip. 243-251-261

The Methodist Reading Circle.

The reading course of the Foreign

was organized two weeks ago has
had two meetings, which were thor

The first meeting was presided
over by Mrs. T. S. Armstrong in her
own characteristic manner, her
words of truth and love falling as a
benediction into the hearts of all
present.
The next meeting held on Feb. 1,
with Miss Satterfield as leader, was
full of interest from beginning to

Church and Physical Healing.
BELDIN0,

There Is abundant evidence that the
projectors of the Emmanuel Movement
are in imminent danger, by oft-repeat-
ed auto-suggestion, "of holding given
thought in the mental focus to the ex-
clusion of all other thoughts is the
claim Of DR.. James NJ. Buckley, in the
Century, in discussion of the Dan
gers of the Emmanuel Movement"
and the reasons why il should not be
generally adopted. He goes on: This
movement is not feasible adjunct 10
the local church, the activities or
which are already such as to demand
the entire energy and resources OF the
pastor. Few men could add to
them the complex and exhaustinS du-
ties of another profession without. in
some measure, diminishing the eff
cheney of the former To attempt to
carry on a work of physical healing
would entail neglect of important in
terests, or reduce the pastor to a con-
dition requiring treatment at some
other clinic. The existence in any
neighborhood of such an institution
would probably be a means of pros
elyting, and of dsqueting the mem
bers of churches of the same denom-
ination. Moreover, few would be com
petent by experience, study, or natural
gift TO superintend such a work.

Needs More Money.

Sec. Wilson has communicated to
congress the fact that unless another
appropriation of $250,000 is made TO
cover the expenses OF stamping out
foot and mouth disease the work OF
the bureau of animal industry, which
has charge of the meat inspection
branch of the government, will be Sc
riously hampered.
Early in the present session the
secretary asked $500 900 for this work,
but only $4,000 was appropriated.
He says $1S3,776 already has been
expended and there are further IL
abilities estimated at s63,2s5. making
a total OF $247.061 up to this date.
All of this money was taken from
the appropriation for general ex.
penses of the bureau.
The inspectors on the lookout for
evidences of the foot and mouth dis
ease will not be withdrawn for three
months yet.

about eleven hundred dollars for every

abandoned the habit Of concealing
their savings in old stockings and pots

father, mother and daughter-boarde
the train, bearing respectively the
family treasures: One pet poodle, one
gray cat in a blue blanket. and one
travelling clock In much worn leath-
er case. The party had no sooner
found seats across from the western
er, than it became apparent that the
excitement of boarding the train had
caused commotion among the pets
The cat was chided for talking aloud
Calm yourself, Bobby" said his mis-
tress. BE yourself once more--we
are now on our way home" Where
upon Bobby grew calm
The poodle became restless in the
company of his master on a seat in
front and signified his yearning for
Bobbys company by climbing up the
back of the seat and casting goo-goo
eyes at the Tabby. The sympathetic
mistress understood at once and said:
you may come over here and sit
with us, Percy. dear, on one condition
you must not agitate Bobby"
This was too much for the stormy
westerner. With loud snort he
reared up, paved his handbag from
the rack above his head, and pranced
into a coach ahead.

erick says there can be no question as
to the efficiency of the work accom-
plished there. Not the least important
result of the crusade, declares the

character of buildings has undergone
change, the speaker saying that
Millions of feet of concrete construc-

has spent s2,500,OO0 in rat-proofng
work on buildings since the beginning
of the fight. Seattle is urged to follow
this example, as the only effective
method OF guarding against the plague.
