HORSE THIEF
IN JAIL
Charles Nicholson Brought Here
Last Night
ARRESTED BY DEP. LINCOLN
Charged With Stealing Young Colt
in Broad Day Light and Dis
posing Of It.

Deputy Sheriff Harvey Lincoln of
Rupert arrived in the village last eve
ming with Charles Nicholson of that
town, who had been arrested charged
with horsestealing. The animal,
which Nicholson is charged with APP
propriating, is a young black horse
worth at least $3.50 and belonging to
NJ Kaschen, member of a lumber
company doing business at Rupure.
1t is charged that Nicholson, who
had been working about Rupert for
some time, went into Kaschen's barn
Monday morning about 8 o'clock,
took the horse without harness or
wagon and either rode or lead 1t to
West Pawlet. At West Pawlet, 1t is
alleged, Nicholson snapped the horse
for another, receiving $40 to boot 1t
is probable that he Immediately pro
ceeded to get drunk on the financial
proceeds of the trade for he was still
thoroughly intoxicated when he was
given a preliminary hearing before
Municipal Judge f. H. Holden. He
was taken to jail and the hearing IN
the case was fixed for Friday.

REGULATES any BAD STOMACH
Dyspepsia, Gas, Heartburn and Indi-
eestion go Five Minutes Later

If you had some Diapepsin handy
and would take a little now your sto-
mach distress or Indigestion would
Ianish in five minutes and you would
feel fine.
This harmless preparation will di-
gest anything you eat and overcome
a sour, out of order stomach before
you realize 1t.
If your meals don't tempt you, or
what little you do eat seems to fill
you, or lays like a lump of lead In
your stomach, or If you have heart
burn, that Is a sign of Indigestion.
Ask your Pharmacist for a 50-cent
case Of Pape's Diapepsin and take a
little just as soon as you can. There
will be no sour risings no belching
of undigested food mixed with acid,
no stomach gas or heartburn, fullness
or heavy feeling in the stomach, Maui
sea, DebilitatingN Headaches, Dizzi-
ness or Intestinal gripping. This will
all go, and besides there will be no
lundigested food left over in the sto.
mach to poison your breath with
nauseous odors.
Pape's Diapepsin is certain cure for
out of order stomachs because it pre-
vents fermentation and takes hold of
your food and digests 1t just the same
as If your stomach wasn't there.
Relief in five minutes from all sto.
mach misery is at any drug store
waiting forsyou.
These large 80 cent cases contain
more than sufficient to thoroughly
cure almost any case of Dyspepsia,
Indigestion or any other stomach dis
turbance.
