DRUG HOUSE ENJ0INED

United States district court, to-day
granted a permanent injunction in be-
half OF the Centaur Company Of New
York, the manufacturers OF Fletcher's
Castoria, against the Stewart &
Holmes Drug Company of this city.
The controversy arose from the sim

filed in the case 1t was shown that the
infringing label was first discovered
on sale in Honolulu, and was traced to
It's origin here in Seattle.

that the Stewart & Holmes Company

SYNOPSIS.

Lieutenant Holton is detached from his
command in the navy. at the outset OF the
SpanishAAmerican war and assigned to
important secret service duty. While din
ing at a Washington hotel he detects a
waiter in the act of robbing beautiful
young lady. She thanks him for his serv-
Ice and gives her name as Miss La Tossa,
Cuban patriot. Later he meets her at
a ball A secret service man warns Hol-
ton that the girl is a spy. Senior La
Tossa chides his daughter for her failure
to secure important information from
Holton. She leaves for her home In
Cuba. Holton is ordered to follow her.
They meet on the Tampa train. Miss
Ia Tossa tells Holton she is Cuban
spy and expresses doubt regarding the
sincerity of the United States Holton Is
ordered to remain at Tampa to guard the
troop transports He receives orders to
land Miss La Tossa, who Is considered
dangerous spy, on Cub&h soil. AT sea
he is overtaken by another warship
which takes Miss La Tossa aboard and
Holton Is ordered to return to Tampa
He saves the transports from destruction
at the hands of dynamiters and reports
to Admiral Sampson for further duty.
Holton is sent to General Garcia's COM

against the American troops and to learn
the plans of the Spanish navy. He de-

in the interests OF the Spanlards. Holton
Is seized by friends of the spy and later
Is ordered executed as a spy. He escapes.

shocked into hamilton, there followed
a few seconds of pulseless silence.
Again Holton's pistol rang out. This
time, from the direction of the hidden
advancing forces, there came several
short, sharp commands. AS Holton
lay hidden, thankful that the Spaniards
had evidently attributed the shots to
some overanxious soldier on their own
side, he saw two Cubans steal along
the trail and behind them a gigantic
young sergeant in the uniform OF a
Rough Rider.
Close behind him we're four men.
They were picking their way stealth
lily. There was no question that Hol-
toms Ehots had the desired effect.
Then, as he looked, several long,
lancelike lines of fame darted out of
the bushes In which the Spaniards lay.
The valley resounded with racketing
uproar. He saw the big Rough Rider
| sergeant stop short with look of sur
prise upon his face, saw his jaws set
grimly, saw him advance a step, and
then heave forward on his face, block
ing the trail with his body.
The bushes beneath Holton were
now darling sheets of flame and the
gases from the smokeless powder drift
ed upward and into his nostrils.
From the American side he heard a
crashing as the main body rushed up
into action or deployed into the grass
to the eastward OF the trail and then
suddenly out of the thicket came the
roar Of the Krags. Holton thrilled
with pride as he noticed that the aim
of the Americans was low and that the
shooting discipline was excellent.
The firing was incessant and Holton,
whose activities with his revolver had
brought volley or two in his direc-
ton, now ceased firing and began to
work his way into the valley toward
the American position. He had not
gone far when the advancing lines
swept upon him.
Hello, Bud" cried a tall, swarthy
faced sergeant from a New Mexican
ranch, "what're you dom way Out
here?"
l. Holton smiled and was about to re
ply when a red light suddenly flashed
before his eyes and he clapped his
hand to his forehead, for 1t seemed as
though a red-hot brand had suddenly
been clamped upon 1t. Then merciful
ly came darkness.
And as he lay thus In the tall grass
his eyes closed blood streaming dowI
his cheeks and coagulating in the ho
sun, the Rough Riders met the regu
lars from across the valley, while foul
companies revolved around the lef
end Of the hidden enemy and then, al
the Spaniards later put it, they start
ed to catch us with their hands"
For a mile and half these men
who had marched into what approx
mated deadly surprise, chased thu
Spaniards, sent them flying hastil!
from three successive barricades unit
finally, in utter route, they abandoned
all thought of further interference,
with the American movement and fel
back on the trenches before Santiago.
But Holton did not witness thi

he had been dispatched.
After walking all day with infre-

near sunset to a tall grove of palms.

was able to locate his position in a

School House Burned.

"Red Knoll" school house. located
near Wyses's Ferry about five miles
north of Lexington, was destroyed by
fire on Friday evening about half
past seven O'Clock. When first discov-
cred the whole building was ablaze
and everything in the building was
lost. 1t is thought that fire was left
burning in the re.place on Friday
and that it, in some manner. rolled
out on the floor causing total loss of
the school-house and all Of it's con
tents. This is only theory, however,
and it may be, it is asserted by some,
that the fire was set to the building by
an incendiary. The school, which ia
being taught by Miss Aiken from %
lumbia, will be continued in another
building nearby and there will be no
time lost as a result Of the school
house having been burned.
