marry her. She and Strouss, she
AYERS, lived together as man and
wife of five years
Excerpts of this story of love and
tragedy. made public Monday, are
characterized by Attorney Hilton as
being as black record of betrayal
as ever a jury listened to.
When seen at the jail Mrs. Pat
terson seemed much less concerned
over the fate of Colorado jury

her story will have on her mother.

my poor mothers heart to learn

Strouss nor divorced from him.
Her Biography.
The biography reads in part as
follows:
When | was 16 years old | went
with my sister, Mrs. Farnham, and
her husband to Chicago We stopped
at the Auditorium hotel, where a
friend Of my sisters introduced me
TO Mr. Strouss. He was much
older than / for at that time my
hair hung in braid down my
back, but he was very kind. He
asked me to marry him, but said
that first | must go to school and
study.
After many conferences with my
people he finally took me to Paris

Women Route Revenue Officers.

Knoxville, Tenn, March ia
special from Bristol says:
Zone officer fatally wounded, an
other with a finger shot off, and a
third frightened from the scene, is
result of a battle between three
women on one side and trio of
revenue officers on the other at Long
Fork near the Pike and Letcher
county border in Kentucky Wednes-
day afternoon.
Deputy Marshal ]. Martin Potter
and Possemen Charles Smith and
Garfield Small of Pikeville, entered
the Long Fork section to arrest
Charles Tackitt, aged %, charged
with moonshining. Tackitt, though
armed, surrendered without resist
ence but his mother, Martha Tackitt,
60 years old, was angered at the
presence of the officers and togeth-
er with her daughters, Mamie Tack
lit, aged 16 and Bette Tackitt, aged
1S, concluded they would give the
officers battle. The aged mother,
with a pistol, and the eldest daugh-
ter with a 16-gauge shotgun, opened
fire upon the men. After several
shots had been fired, Smith fell NOR
tally wounded, being shot through
three times, while Small had lost a
finger and had the crown of his hat
pierced with bullets. J Smith. who
was fatally wounded, is member of
one of the best families in the coun-
ty. The boy was then taken in
charge by his mother, not an officer
being left on the scene.

EVANS CASE POSTPONED.
Death of G. H. Charles Assigned as
Reason.

Columbia, March 20.-At Newber-
ry this morning the case of the State
against H. H. Evans, formerly chair
man of the board of directors of the
State dispensary, for accepting re-
bates from liquor houses, was called
for trial and continued on motion Of
the State, the reason given being the
recent death of material witness,
George H. Charles, once chief clerk to
the board Of directors. Charles died
a few weeks ago in San Antonio.
Eugene S. Blease, attorney for Ev-
ans and q brother to Gov. Blease, Sc
verely criticised the prosecution for
it's delay in giving his client an op-
portunity of vindication.
Solicitor Cooper stated that At
torney General Lyon, who was in
charge of the case, had asked him to
say that the State would have been
ready for trial except for the recent
sudden death of G. H. Charles, form
er clerk of the dispensary board, who
was a material witness.
Mr.. Evans was in court demanding
trial and his attorney, Eugene
Blease, vigorously protested against
the continuance, saying the defend
ants had demanded a trial at the
court at which the true bill was found
and again at the succeeding court
and the defendant demanded his con-
stitutional right to speedy trial,
absolving the solicitor from any re-
sponsibility. He said it appeared to
him that somebody, either Attorney
General Lyon or somebody else, was
trying to hold this indictment over
Mr.. Evans as lash.
Judge Watts said that under the
peculiar circumstances, Mr.. Charles
having died suddenly, it might be
that the State might have to look
around to see if it could supply any
testimony it expected to get from
him. He said he realized that when
man was under charge and
anxious for full investigation of it,
it was very CALLING to have the charge
hanging over him, but there were
sometimes cases where a continu-
ance was necessary to the admins
tration of justice. He said if the de-
fense desired it he would include in
his order that the State be required
to 60 to trial at the next term or to
mol pros the case.

Dealt in Stolen Stamps.

Wichita, Kan, March 19.--L. F.
Naftzger, formerly president Of the
Fourth National bank of Wichita,
was found guilty by jury in the
federal court to-day of buying and
selling stolen postage stamps. The
offense is punishable by a maximum
sentence of five years in prison and
fine of $1,000.
Naftzger purchased the stamps
from Frank S. Burt, formerly chief
of police here. The stamps were
stolen from Kansas postofices and
sold TO Burt by John Kahlhan, who
is under sentence for robbing the
Milan, Kan, postofice, and has been
convicted of buying and selling stolen
stamps. The former bankers de-
fense was that he did not know the
stamps were stolen. 1t is understood
there will be no appeal if only a
fine is imposed.

Gets No Commission.

Lexington, March 20.-The failure
of Gov. Blease to issue commission
for notary public to S. A. Matthias, a
leading merchant of Irmo, allegedly
because that gentleman happened not
to be a supporter of the governor in
his campaign last summer, has caused
general surprise and indignation, not
only among the friends of Mr.. Ma
thias but among the governors
warmest friends also. Mr.. Matthias
has always been a law-abiding citi-
zen, and a gentleman of the highest
moral character. He is brother of
DR.. R. E. Matthias of Irmo, one of the
best known physicians in the county.
Mr.. Matthias states that. he sent the
money for his commission about a
month ago and that he has neither
received the money or the commits
sion. It is known that some of Mr..
Blease's friends have gone to him in
behalf of Mr.. Matthias, but up to the
present the governor has turned a
deaf ear to their pleadings.
Mr.. Matthias would like very much
to have his money back, he says, but
how to get lat the matter he is at a
loss to know.
Gov. Blease was in Newberry yes
terday and no statement could be OBJ
tanned with reference to the above
disDatch.

Advice of Man Who Had Cancer OF
Stomach.

Trenton, N. j., March 16.-"You're
husky looking guy" said friend
the other day to c. H. Coates,
Trenton salesman, who tips the scales
at 1915 pounds.
'Well, 1 was not always So" was
Coates response. Three years ago
I gave up a good job at Spokane,
Wash, and came east to die. The
doctors said I had cancer of the
stomach and specialists in San Fran
cisco, Chicago, Pittsburg, and New
York, told me it was an incurable
case. But happened to meet Doc.
Geigen. He told me to try sand.
Sounds funny, doesn't it? Well, may
be it does, but it worked wonders
for me. It's just a case of assimilat-
ing your food. When you were a
child you could do it easily. Now
you need little assistance. Try the
sand cure.'
Mr.. Coates has taken from one-half
to one teaspoonful of sand every day
since his first test of the cure and
attributes to that fact alone his pres
ent excellent condition. He places
one-half a teaspoonful Of it in his
mouth and washes it down with a
mouthfuI of water. He insists that
sand has effected equally remarkable
cures of bilious and dyspeptic people
of his acquaintance.
