Quick Relief for Biliousness.

The sufferer from this distressing
complaint is only too familiar with all
Its disturbing symptoms:-loss of ap.
petite, headache, dizziness, nausea and
vomiting, oftentimes meaning prostra-
ton for two or three days and the con-
sequent loss Of time from regular du-
ties. Such attacks vary in frequency
and duration with different individuals,
but there is really no occasion for them
to occur at all. That old reliable
household medicine ''L. F. Atwood s
Bitters, taken in teaspoonful doses,
morning and night, rarely fails to who'll
ly prevent an attack of sick headache
or biliousness. If this preventive
measure has not been adopted, a des-

appear, will almost invariably ward off
a severe attack. It may be obtained
in large bottles, of any dealer, for
thirty five cents, or sample free for the

Horrible Deed Of a Mob
Al Coatesvi||e, Pa.
Takes Negro Murderer From Jail
And Burns Him Alive.
Wounded Man, Strapped to Cot,
Taken From a Hospital.

Gainesville. Pa, Aug. 13--Zachariah
Walker a Negro desperate, was car
ried on cot from the hospital here
tonight and burned TO a crisp by
frenzied mob of men and boys in a fire
which they ignited about a half mile
from town. The Negro. who had shot
and killed Edgar Rice, special police
man of the Worth Iron Mills last
night, was first dragged to the scene
of the shooting, begging piteously for
mercy. He had been arrested by a
posse late this afternoon after a search
which had stirred the countryside.
When the posse finally located him ne
was found hiding in a cherry tree and
with the last bullet in his revolver
shot himself in the mouth. falling from
the tree. He was removed to the hos
pital and placed under police guard.
a few minutes after o'clock a
crowd numbering almost 1000 persons
appeared at the hospital, quickly
smashed the window frames and
crawled through the corridor. A po-
liceman, who had been placed on duty
to watch Walker, was the only person
in the building beside the nurse and
ed his hands over the policeman's
eyes while others who had entered the
building stepped out TO take their man
from the hospital.
When Walker was taken to the hos
pital he was strapped down in order to
prevent his escape. The mob. seeing this,
gathered up the bed and placing it on
the shoulders of four men. started for the
country. When a half mile from the
hospital they stopped at the farm of
Mrs. Sarah Newlin. Here they entered
a field and quickly gathering up pile
of dry grass and weeds, placed the bed
containing their victim upon il.
The Negro was begging piteously to be
released, but his pleadings fell upon
deaf ears. A match was placed to the
pile of grass and the flames shot up
quickly, entirely enshrouding the scream
ing victim. That not a vestige of the
man be left the mob took down the
fence along the roadway and piled the
rails up on the burning Negro. After
waiting for half an hour the mob quiet
ly dispersed.

mistaken the road they must have

now happily married and enjoying

error which took them away from the
road leading to Putnam, Conn.
For il was to Putnam, Conn, a
| little border city, that the pair was
bound. intending to be married there.
This mas not been known previously.
| The fact that young Geraughty and
| his prospective bride evaded her par
ents Mr. and Mrs Amos Tuck French
| of Newport, Tuxedo and New York,
| and her aunt, Mrs. Vanderbilt, ana
left Newport Tuesday afternoon has
been previously published.
Tonight's developments have re-
yeaIed that the fleeing couple had
barely passed the jamestown ferry
before the young woman's parents
learned the fact. Immediately the
brides own high powered motor was
brought into the chase as well as two
other speedy machines. The Boston
detectives had been in Newport sew
eral days. engaged TO prevent the
elopement. They were placed in one
of the machines and members of the
Newport police force in the other.
Little time was lost in taking up the
pursuit.
After crossing the bay the three
machines took different routes, but
the pursuit was eentered for several
crossroads where it was believed the
auto containing the clippers must pass
on their way to their supposed rendez-
Vous
But meanwhile A G.. Fender. young
Geraghtys employer, who drove the au-
tomobile which he loaned the couple for
their flight, had lost the road to Put
nam, their destination, and was explor-
ing the wooded road in an effort to go
back on the right track. 1t was in this
manner, it is believed, that they evaded,
without their knowledge, the three pur-
suing automobiles. Through the night
they investigated this road and that,
looking for the main highway, and about
clock Wednesday morning their auto
mobile broke down near Central Village.
Geraghty got down on his knees and re-
paired the break and they were fairly
started when a tire exploded. They were
without an extra tire and 1t was neces-
sary to go to the town for one. Then 1t
was decided to get married there and the
ceremony was performed.
After flying through the woods for
nearly Il hours, during which she was
forced often to lie back and snatch nap.
Mrs. Vanderbilt gave up the chase. The
other two machines and their occupants
were also recalled. AT slower rate of
speed the unsuccessful pursuers wended
their way home, Mrs. Vanderbilt entering
her palatial home here in the early hours
of the morning When she appeared lat
er in the morning to direct from Newport
the hunt for the fleeing couple only to
learn that they had been married, 1t was
noticed that she had apparently slept lit
tie
The Newport police are still reticent re-
their part in the hunt for Geragh-
ty and his present wife. 1t is reported
that they held warrant charging
Geraghty with abduction.
