the only sensible method, because you
breathe the highly antiseptic and

HYOMEI will cure catarrh. There
may be some complicated cases where
it will fail, but the chances are ten to

catarrh takes no risk, because HYO-

Two Victims Of GrinneII MarshaI's
Stray Bullets Recovering.

Special to Times-Republican
Grinnell, May 26.-The two men
wounded yesterday morning by the
wild shots and rebounding bullets Of
Marshal Shahan as he tried to kill the
bull dog are resting well but will be
confined to their homes for q week or
two at best, even If no complications
set in.
One ball struck Mr. Phipps on the
inside of the left thigh and passed
thru the heavy muscles and two thick
nesses Of heavy cloth. Yet he hunted
around for a physician for some time
and finally rode to his home, some five
blocks, in his delivery wagon, before
discovering how seriously he had been
hurt.
MT. Youngstead was struck by the
other bullet on the outside of the left
foot where the flesh is thickest and the
ball passed upwards and came out near
the top Of the foot. No bones were
broken but the bullet which had been
fiattened by contact with the cement
pavement ploughed q good sized fur
row thru the flesh. MIR. Youngstead
has a wife and two children and lives
at 1920 Spring street. He was taken to
his home and Is receiving the best Of
attention. The general opinion Of the
action Of the marshal, as expressed by
those who were witnesses OF the affair,
is that he became unduly excited over
a minor matter.
