MISSING MAN RETURNS,
SAYS HE WAS BUNcoED
OUT OF $4,000.
.y.cysyo.os.o,sOey:yce,:.fSsot.t:

Audubon, Nov. 30.-George Wilson,
farmer who disappeared from this
county about one year ago. returned
Yesterday with story of how he was
swindled out of two farms and money
aggregating in valuey approximate
$50. 900 by a group of Omaha swindlers
in what is known in police pariance
as the badger game.
| Wilson said he spent the first year
working in the harvest fields OF South
Dakota where he was sent penniless
by his pseudo friends after he had
been robbed of his property. After
several months consideration. he said,
i he decided to return to Audubon TO
see If his fortunes could not be re-
covered.
Soon after he returned to Omaha
where he went for a visit, according to
| the farmers story, he met group
| of affable strangers who undertook 10
show him the sights. He was fairly
overw helmed by their munificence and
cordially he says, he was taken to
the theaters. to the restaurants and
to a sumptuously furnished room in
| a hotel One night he found himself
alone with the wife of one of his new
acauaintances. Her husband suddenly
| appeared and feignede great surprise
and indignation at what he termed
Wilson's ingratitude. He threatened
Wilson with prosecution and impris-
| onment.
At the psychological moment two
other men, representing themselves to
be the county attorney and the sheriff
Of Douglas county, Neb., appeared. The
supposed officials sympatfhzed with
the woman's husband" but suggested
that the affair be flushed up to
avoid publicity in the courts.
/ Wilson, properly impressed by the
seriousness Of his plight and fearing
exposure, gave the pseudo officialsc
81, 900 in cash. he says, and decided his
farm to another member iof the party.
One Of his farms was located in Au-
dubon county, and another in Shelby
county. The Officials divided the
money and left the room, Wilson said.
His Indignant" friends then overpow-
cred him and appropriated what re-
tmaining money he had with him.
The deeds and mortgage for $1,000
were filed for record in the courts
shortly after Wilson's disappearance.
Fearing the farmer had met with foul
play, however, the county officials be-
gan an Investigation and had an adj
ministrator appointed for his estate.
An action now will be begun by VIII
son to recover the money.

SALTS IF BACKACRY
AND KIDNEYS hurt
STOP EATING MEAT FOR A WHILE
If YOUR BLADDER is
TROUBLING YOU.

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region it
generally means you have been eating
too much meat. says well-known
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
overworks the kidneys in their effort to
filter it from the blood and they become
sort ot p s,1;ai!!;y-zoti and ;ossy. When yoa1
kidneys get sluggish and clog you must
relieve them, like you relieve your
bowels: removing all the body's urinous
waste, else you have backache, sick
headache, dizzy spells; your stomach
sours, tongue is coated. and when the
weather is bad you have rheumatic
twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of
sediment. channels often get sore, water
scalds and you are obliged to seek re-
lief two or three times during the night.
Either consult a good. reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your bharma-
ciSt about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast for few days and
your kidneys will then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and has been used for genera
tions to clean and stimulate sluggish
Kidneys also to neutralize acids in the
urine so it no longer irritates, thus end
ing bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is life saver for regular
meat eaters. 1t is inexpensive, can not
lnjure and makes delightful, effer-
vescent lithia- water drink.
