Does 1t Pay to Advertise?

For some time past F. A.
Heath has been running an
eight inch two column ad in
this paper and feing of a Gu
rious turn of mind he decided
to test the value of the ad. The
first of the week in his regular
space he told the people of this
city that on Wednesday MORN
ing he would give away fifty
packages of Kellogg's Toasted
Corn Flakes, to the first fifty
people who ordered groceries
and asked for the flakes. At
exactly 1906 the flakes were
all gone and requests still COM
ing in. Does it pay to adver-
tise? Ask Heath, and as a
matter of fact if you will keep
your eye ON Heath's ads you
will sec what he thinks of it
and also see something to your
own advantage in each change
of ad.

Marshal Butcher j
Killed

ANlle0
Marshal Butcher was 81
and instantly killed this after
noon about 4 o'clock by two
desperate men. Marshal Moore
was returning from Logan at
the time and was near the
scene of the shooting just as it
occurred. He shot at the men
but they disappeared in the
weeds before he could get them.
Marshal Butcher had gone
down to find a couple of men
that we're wanted and just as
he reached a spot about two
blocks east of the Updike ele-
vator, on the south side of the
tracks he heard talking. He
pulled cut his gun and advanc-
ed into the weeds and found
eight or ten men sitting on the
or urd.
Evidently from the way he
stepped up to the mer, he
knew which ones he was after.
As told to us by an eye witness:
Butcher walked straight up to
these two men and asked one
of them to stand up while he
searched him. The man took
his time about it and seemed to
be celebrating whether to
comply with the request or not.
He finally stood up and Butch
er searched his clothes and then
asked the other pal to stand.
When walking around to where
the other man was to search
him, the one he had just
searched pulled his gun and
fired, striking Butcher in the
left breast, piercing his heart.
When this one fired, the other
grappled with Butcher while
the second shot was fired.
Butcher fought with them
until che third shot was fired
and then he dropped dead. AS
soon as they saw they had kill
ed him, they ran south east
through the weeds and were
soon lost from sight. Marshal
Moore, who had just stepped
from a passing freight train at
the time shot at the fleeing men
but does not think he hit either.
| In a few minutes after the
shooting several automobiles
loaded with men and guns
started inpursuit. There were
five other men who saw the
shooting and they are being
held. One of them said he had
never seen such a fight as
these men put up. They were
4 undoubtedly criminals of the
1 first water and took any means
of getting away. Neither of
the bandits had been drinking.
There are perhaps a hundred
and fifty men securing the
country after them and from
the determined look on their
faces they will catch them be-
fore dark.
Butcher was shot three times
in the stomach, in the heart
and in the left arm.
This is the most brutal crime
since the killing of Marsha
Whitney some years ago in this
city.
Mr.. Butcher was married
man and leaves a wife and SIX
children.
N. B. Spafard fell from 9
|, buggy while starting out tt
help hunt the bandits this
afternoon and broke his leg.

sion as we go to press that it il

Amy Crosby and Gerald Blake sat
on the front porch of the farmhouse
enjoying the early evening breeze.
Amy occupied the hammock and in
Farmer Crosby's low rocker sat the
young man who had recently returned
from the east. Amy never tired of
listening to the stories of the wonders
he had seen.

out of hearing. He had run down the
steps and TO the outer gate to open it.
Amy watched them from her ham,

eyes never left that rose colored dream
who had held Gerald's hand so long
in greeting.
She watched them pause before they
reached the house. They spoke in
confidential tones.

they reached her side, you remember

She looked at Gerald and Amy sank
back in her hammock. She knew she
was staring rudely at the visitor, but
she could not figure it all out. Why
did Annabel, whose parents had moved
away when she was little girl, come
to see her on her first return?
She had heard that Annabel was liv-

said that she was on the stage. That
