Last Friday night after Granville
Thompson and his family retired for the
night they heard some one outside trying
to get into the house. Mr.. Thompson
stepped outside to see who it was and
school house. He went back in and cal
led his hired man. They tracked the
man to the school house and when they
attempted to enter they were confronted
by Frank Stokes, he having revolver in
his hand and fired but did not hit either
Mr.. Thompson or his hired man. Mr..
Thompson grappled with him and walk
ed him back down to his house where he
left him in charge of the hired man
while he went after deputy sheriff f. NJ.
Hill. When they got back he had got
away and run again. They took his
track and followed him up into the
woods on the hill and there they caught
him. He was going towards Huntsville.
Mr.. Hill took him to Middlebury and put
him in the Jail. He has been in Jail once
before. He is a man that will not work
very much and the way he lives is sur
prising. The most of the time he stays
in the woods and houses that are vacated
and in barns, stealing what he can get
hold of to eat, sometimes going several
days without very much food. Without
doubt that was what he was after at
Mr. ThOmpson's. Some think he is not
just right in his mind. He has been
known to shoot at several, never hitting
them. 1t is thought he does it to scare
Nevertheless he ought to be in safe keep
ing some where.

You eat food to keep yourself alive.
When you put food into healthy stom-
ach it Is the duty of that stomach to
extract from the food all of its nutri-
tious matter
This nutritious matter is passed along
to the blood, and in turn is carried to and
supplies life to every part of the body.
If your stomach is upset it does not
extract enough nourishment to supply
the wants of the body, and naturally
disease develops wherever the body Is
weakest.
Stomach trouble or indigestion causes
dizziness, biliousness, nervousness, weak
eyes, sick headaches. sleeplessness
nightmare, waterbrash, belching OF
sour food, foul breath, dependency
constipation and even loss of energy and
memory.
