found relief in DR.. Kilmer's Swamp

were my only relief for short periods
OF time. I became so sick that I had
to undergo a surgical operation in New

years. When the same pain came

up hopes of living. A friend advised
me to try your Swamp-Root and I at
once commenced using it. The first
bottle did me so much good that I
purchased two more bottles. L am now
on my second bottle and am feeling
like a new woman. I passed a gravel

FIRST FATALITY IN THE
STRIKE OCCURS AT HOUSTON

Houston, Tex, Oct. 3.-Whether
guards or strikers caused the first
fatality In the Hartman lines strike
here today is a disputed question,
even by the men who were injured in
the semi darkness at the gates of the
Southern Pacific shop yards early to-
day.
The police say they are unable to
say who fired the shots or from what
direction they came. ]. ]. Pipes, spe-
cial officer from Athens, Texas, was
killed just inside the gates of the shop
yards while en- route with a small
party of officers and strike-b reakers
from a train to the yard.
s. b. Crockett, another special Of
ficer of the party, who was near Pipes
and who was wounded, says the shots
were fired from within the yards
where a. number of guards were sta
toned.
Captain H. s. Frisk, also injured
who was escorting the party to the
yards, says the shots came from the
crowd of strikers following his charges
and that ne believes he fired one shot
in the reply.
A third version developed today in a
statement by ]. H Day, one Of the
conpany's employees, that the shots
were not fired either by guards or by
the strikers. He asserts the shots
came from a side direction.
Chief Of Police Voss said that his
investigation indicated the strikers
were not making threats but were
begging the strike breakers not tc
take their places.
In addition to those shot or stoned
at, Gordon Knight, a strike breaker
was stabbed In the face. All the in
jured men are expected to recover.

excited, asked him whose gun 1t was
and he said it was his sons. The men
made him take the shells out OF the
gun Just as the train came up. The
negro jumped on the rear platform and
as soon as the train started he re-
loaded his gun. At Nielsen, the next
