II STILL LIVE"
WRITES JOHNSON.
Crescent City Man Denies Sui
eide Story.

Last week the News told OF the sui
eide of a man in New York hotel.
The New York Herald stated that from
papers found on the mans body, II was
supposed to be that of Homer Johnson
of Crescent City, Fla"
This paper simply published the
story and added the information that
the only Homer Johnson who had lived
in Crescent City was the son OF II. f.
Johnson, now living in south Florida.
II was natural, in the absence OF news. TO
the contrary, to suppose that he was the
man who had declined TO "grunt and
sweat under a weary life when he, him
self, might his quietus make with bare
bodkin."
But it was not Homer Johnson late OF
Crescent City. Twas smother Johnson,
as is evident from the following letter
received on Tuesday last:
Coleman, Fla, June 18th, 1911.
"Mr. w. A. Russell,
''Palatka, Fla.
"Dear Sir:-I was very much surprised
today to read my obituary in your paper,
and would be glad if you would cor
rect same, for am at present enjoying
real good health and hope to live for
quite while yet.
81 have always heard that ii took a
man with lots of brains to kill himself
If that is so can not have but very few
for that is the last act>I would ever
think of enjoy life too well for that.
81 came TO Coleman two years ago
and took up my fathers old trade and
am at present doing real we'll financially.
81 am at loss to know the circum-
stances in the case 1t must have been
some one under an assumed name, for
am the only Homer Johnson that ever
lived at Crescent City.
Yours truly,
HOMER +. JOHNSON.
The News regrets the notoriety thus
given to a good man by having his
name mixed with that of suicide.
But the mixing was done by the other
fellow. The writer of the above letter
is remembered in Crescent City as a
solid young man, honest and of indus
trious habits, and when the story OF his
supposed suicide was read by his old
friends they expressed doubt of the real
suicides identity.

Hines Makes Flat Denial.

Washington, July 1.-Edward Hines
Of Chicago was today subjected to a
rigid cross-examination by John
Marble, attorney for the senate in
v~estigating committe.
Hines contradieted the sworn testi-
mony of Pres. Herman Hettler of the
Hettler Lumber Co. Of Chicago, that
Hines had boosted to him of having
personally elected Lorimer. He denied
that the lumber interests raised a big
sum to lobby for tariff legislation in
1909 or that the lumber interests had
anything to do with the Lorimer cleo
ton.
Hines declared that he was absolute
ly certain he was not mistaken about
his testimony that former Senator Aid
rich stated to him that the president
was anxious to have Lorimer elected.
Asked about the denial Of this from
the White House after his testimony
at Springfield Hines merely said that
such a denial had never been called
to his attention"

BABY's HAIR ALL CAME OUT

when my first baby was six
months old he broke out on his head
with little bumps. They would dry
up and leave a scale. Then it would
break out again and it spread all over
his head. All the hair came out and
his head was scaly all over. Then his
face broke out all over in red bumps
and it kept spreading until it was on
his hands and arms. I bought several
boxes of ointment, gave him blood
medicine, and had two doctors to treat
him, but he got worse all the time. He
had 1t about six months when a friend
told me about Cuticura. I sent and
got a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent, a
cake of Cuticura Soap and a box OF
Cuticura Ointment. In three days
after using them he began to improve.
He began to take long maps and to
stop scratching his head. After taking
two bottles of Resolvent, two boxes OF
Ointment and three cakes of Soap he
was sound and we'll, and never had
any breaking out Of any kind. His
hair came out in little curls all over
his head. I don't think anything else
would have cured him except Cuticura,
Il have bought Cuticura Ointment
and Soap several times since to use
for cuts and sores and have never
known them to fail to cure what I put
them on. I think Cuticura is a great
remedy and would advise any one to
use it. Cuticura Soap is the best that
I have ever used for toilet purposes"

ONE JUROR WANTED
AcQUiTTAL.
WILL ASK FOR new TRIAL
Failure in This Appeal Will Be Taken
Verdict Road "GuiIty of Embez-
element Of s5443," Interest
on Ono Deposit.

Washburn, N. d., June 3O.-The jury
IN the case of G. L. Bickford, former
state treasurer of North Dakota, reach
ed a verdict of guilty after consulting
for nine hours, the result of their de-
Hberations being announced to Judge
Crawford at 1O:30 last evening.
The scene in the courtroom was ami
mated when the twelve jurymen filed
from the side room and the foreman
announced that they were ready to re-
port. The strain of the moment was
plainly visible on the face, of the de-
PENDANT, who has borne up we'll dur
ing the trial. and when the foreman
announced that &c. L. Bickford was
found guilty Of embezzlement" as
charged, there was a moment Of death
ly silence and then a subdued hum of
voices, as the shock of the first an
nouncement fradually receded.
George Bangs for the defense said:
"The verdict is palpably contrary to
all evidence offered in the case, and
an appeal will most assuredly be
taken"
Bickford declined to on the
verdict.
The verdict says, "Guilty of embez-
element of s54.43." This is the amount
OF interest on the FlaXton bank GER
tificates of deposit. The minimum SEN
tence is one year.
Washburn, N. D. June 30.-On Aug.
81, Judge Crawford will hear a mo-
ton for a retrial and arrest of judg-
ment in the Bickford case, providing
the transcript of the testimony can be
prepared in that time.
Bangs for the defense says in the
event of a retrial being denied, an APP
peal will be taken.
The state expresses disappointment
al the amount fixed by the jury in the
verdict. The small sum was liked as
a compromise to bring over one juror
holding out for acquittal.
