MANIAC HOLDS POLICE AT BAY
Masked Maniac Spreads Terror Will
Battle Of Nitrogiycerine.

Los Angelcs.-Armed with an infer
nal machine containing enough dyna
mite to destroy an entire city block
a bottle OF nitroglycerine and a As
caliber revolver, masked maniac
took possession of the central police
station and held it for more than all
hour, while the hundreds of occu
pants of the building and those for
blocks around, panic stricken, sought
the safety Of distance.
When Detective James Hosick
knocked the man unconscious with a
leather billy after slipping behind him
the fuse of the Internal machine was
automatically ignited and without
thinking of the consequences Detec
tive Samuel l.. Browne carried the box
outside, the fuse sputtering and spit
ting sparks, and hurled it into the
street. Sticks of high-power dyna
mite scattered over the pavement
while hundreds of spectators stood ap
parently paralyzed by fright, awaiting
the detonation that would send them
into eternity. Through a freak CT
chance there was no explosion, and
Browne continued kicking the sticks
OF dynamite and jumping on the fuse
until he had broken the connections
and extinguished the fire.
Lying manacled on cot in the re-
ceiving hospital, the would-be dyna
inter. who gave his name as Albert
Henry Davis, is suffering from several
severe scalp wounds, but the police
surgeons say that his injuries are not
serious.

A PENALTY OF AGE

The tendency OF advancing years to
restrict activity and exercise is re-
spcnsible for the constipated condition
Of most elderly people. The wear Of
years impairs the action Of the bow
els and the digestive organs are more
sensitive to the demands upon them
and rebel more quickly. Cathartics
and purgatives are violent and dras-
tic in their action and should not be
used to correct constipation. A mild,
yet positively effective remedy and
one that is recommended by physi-
clans as well as by thousands who
have used it, is the compound OF sim
pie laxative herbs with pepsin pre-
scribed by DR.. w. B. Caldwell over
thirty years ago and now sold by drug
gists everywhere under the name Of
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. DR..
Caldwell wants everyone troubled with
constipation to try Syrup Pepsin and
will send trial bottle. free of charge.

"baking luck" At least, not in the kitch-

uomer's Odyssey" a 100000
production by the Milano Film
was shown in motion
pictures Wednesday night to three
good houses at Wright's Grand
Opera House. The Odyssey can
be classed in the best of motion
pictures. Based upon the ira
diti0n of the voyage of Ulysses,
it carries with it a classical val
ne, while the gorgeous scenes
and awe inspiring incidents of
the voyage make it thrilling
and interesting to those who are
not acquainted with the story.
The remarkable c~learness Of the
picture is due to the fact that it
was shown last night for the
fifth time since it was made.
