There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Sci
ence has proven Catarrh to be a con-
stitutional disease, and therefore re-
quires constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. j..

only Constitutional cure on the mar
ket. 1t is taken internally in doses

Brave Express Messenger
KiHlS Two Robbers

San Antonio, Texas, March 13.-An
express messenger, David A. Trous-
dale, baked the robbery of Southern
Pacific train near Sanderson early to-
day, when he trapped two highway
men who had held up the train, and
killed them.
The robbers.boarded the train, No.
9, westbound, few miles east of San
derson. The mail and express cars
and the locomotive were detached
from the passenger coaches. Then
the engineer, under cover of the rob-
bers' guns, was compelled to run the
two or three coaches ahead of the re-
mainder of the train.
One of the robbers took the express
messenger, Trousdale, back to the
tram and kept him under guard, while
the other robber covered the crew in
the cars ahead and started to rifle the
safe and express boxes.
Trousdale is said to have employed the
old ruse of signaling to an imaginary
person back of his captor. When the
robber turned, Trousdale grasped a
mallet and, before the highwayman
could shoot, dashed out his brains.
Then, arming himself with the dead
mans gun, Trousdale waited for the
return of the other bandit. After he
had rifed the express box, the second
hignwayman came back to the coach
es. Stepping from cover. Trousdale
killed him. Ali Of the stolen property
was recovered and the train proceed
ed.
Trousdale is young man, recently
promoted to the express run. He lives
in San Antonio.
