LARGE SUM FOR LOST LIMB.
Man Who Stole Ride Secures $1,000
Because He Paid Brakeman. !!

Wlnona, Nov. 19.-Battling for four
years in the United States court for
damages, Oswald Newson has secured
a verdict in the sum of $11 900 against
the Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul
road. The young man, five years ago,
came to this country from England
and landed in Chicago in the midst
of labor troubles.
Unable to secure work there and
his funds running low, he boarded a
freight train and reached La Crosse
with single dollar in his pocket. At
tempting to steal ride out of that
city, he was compelled to pay a brake
man on the train his only dollar, he
said. He was not again molested un-
til the train pulled out of the Winona
yards. In the west end of the city
he was told he must either pay an
other Tip" or get off. The latter was
his only alternative and in attempting
to comply he slipped and fell. His
face struck the rail and his leg was
cut off. He was also internally in.
jured and was treated in a local hos
pital for several months. The case
came to trial year later.
A verdict of $4,000 failed to stand
on motion for new trial by the
defendant company. The second trial
resulted in disagreement and the third
resulted in verdict of $4,000. A mo-
ton by the defendant for a new trial
on the ground of errors by the court
was again granted. The last trial, in
which $4,000 damages were sought.
came before Judge Willard and re-
suited in the $1,000 verdict, the
largest on record here.

An Exciting Town.

Los Angeles is a truly exciting town
to live In. To say nothing of it,
heavenly climate and its bombs, there
Is always something stimulating in
the occult line going on. Just the
other day widow of the angelic city
began to long for sight of one Of
her schoolmates whom she had not
seen for As years. The longing brought
its fulfllment. A spirit told her to
look for him in Brooklyn. She obeyed,
met him on the street a few hours
after she arrived, and promptly mar
ried him. It is worth while to live
In city where things like this hap
pen, even at the risk of being blown
up now and then.

MORE THAN EVER
Increased Capacity for Mental Labor
Since Leaving Of Coffee.

Many former coffee drinkers who
have mental work to perform, day
after day, have found better capaci-
ty and greater endurance by using
Postum instead of ordinary coffee. An
Illinois woman writes:
Il had drank coffee for about twen-
ty years, and finally had what the
doctor called coffee heart was
nervous and extremely respondent;
had little mental or physical strength
left. had kidney trouble and constipa-
ton.
1.-The first noticeable benefit derived
ION the change from coffee to Postum
was the natural action of the kidneys
and bowels. In two weeks my heart
action was greatly improved and my
nerves steady.
Then I became less Respondent,
and the desire to be active again
showed proof Of renewed physical and
mental strength.
Il am steadily gaining in physical
strength and brain power. I formerly

Deaths of Edith WOodill and
Mrs. Charlton Linked
in Papers Report.
(6y United Press Leased Wire)

BALTIMORE. Md, Aug. 15.-The
death OF Edith May Woodill in the
secluded bungalow of Lame Bob"
Eastman, at st. Michaels, Md, and
the murders of Mrs. Mary Scott
Castle Charlton of Lake Como,
Italy, are linked together today by
the Baltimore Sun.
The Sun suggests the possibility
that Mrs. Charlton was the woman
referred to in Eastman's letters as
having killed Mrs. Woodill with a
champagne bottle. 1t is stated that
the residents of Talbot county.
Maryland, recognized pictures of
Charlton and his wife as those of
the couple seen with Eastman be-
fore Mrs. Woodill was murdered.
Persons protesting to have seen
the party at the bungalow say that
the pictures published of Charl-
tons wife and of Porter Charlton
were those of the man and woman
seen at Eastman's bungalow" says
the Sun.
Charlton worked for the National
City bank here in June, 1909. The
Sun continues:
1T Is possible that he may have
levt here and gone to St Michaels,
where he met his future wife.
Charlton visited ST. Michaels four
or five times and liked the place. y
The bank records show that
Charlton was not absent from duty
any business day in June, 1909.
Mrs. Woodill was murdered June
81. Eastman shot and killed him
self shortly afterward while being
pursued by deputy sheriffs.
The Sun recounts the riotous
scenes at the bungalow as de-
scribed by neighbors, and refers
to the temper of Mrs. Charlton and
the fact that she drank heavily.
The coroner's jury returned a
verdict that an unknown person
killed Mrs. Woodill, ignoring Cir
cumstancial evidence that indicat-
ed that Eastman was the slayer.
Many people still believe Eastman
was innocent of the woman's
death, and attribute his suicide to
the fact that he was fugitive
from justice.
