Another attempt at holdup was made Saturday night. Della Gobiel of this place, a young man who drives a bakers cart to Plainfleld three times a week, while returning Saturday night at half past seven, as he was about twenty yards north of the PIainfield ice he5se.. near the wet wash building, saw a a man sitting on the fence. As the team approached him. the man walked into the road and asked for a ride. MT. Gobiel refused and did not stop. whereupon the man attempted to climb into the team. MT Gobiel started up the horse, ana look the team. He immediately rulled out his revolver and fired at the ground on the side where the man was. The man ran to the other side calling out, I'll get you yet" and Gobiel fired again at the ground on that side. Still the man chased the team and during the fracas threw something which smash ed the lantern on the wagon. Then the driver fired at him directly.
 By this time, the horse had become frightened at the noise, and required all the drivers attention. By the time the horse was quieted, the man was not to be seen. Gobiel said he that he did not know wheth- he hit his pursuer or not, and he did not go back to find out. He came to Jewett City and reported the affair at once to Deputy Sheriff Louis Gin eresS.

KEEP LOOKING YOUNG
Ips Easy - If You Know pr
 Edwards Olive Tablet.

The secret of keeping young is to feel young-to do this you must watch your liver and bowels-there's no need of having a sallow omplexion-dark rings under your eyes-pimples-a bill lious look in your face-dul eyes with no sparkle.
 Your doctor will tell you ninety per cent. of all sickness comes from inac- tive bowels and liver.
 Dr. Edwards. a well-known physician in Ohio, perfected a vegetable com pound mixed with olive oil to act on the liver and bowels, which he gave to his patients for years.
 Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets, the sub- stitute for calomel, are gentle in their action, yet always effective.
 They bring about that exuberance of spirit that natural buoyancy which should be enjoyed by everyone, by ton ing up the liver and clearing the sys- tenn of impurities.

The missing dog is a valuable animal of a wolf blue color and about year old. It is a German shepherd of the strain that MT.

Industrious NavaiOeS

The Navajo Indians, whose
reservation is in northeastern
Arizona and northwestern New
Mexico, sold $4OO, worth of
blankets last year. They have
returned to dyes of their own
manufacture, and, thereby, the
colors of the blankets are much
brighter.
These Indians have 1,429, 821
sheep worth 1924, $50; 318, 955
worth $497, 910. The woo |
clipped from their native sheep
was 3,375, 900 pounds, wort h
$429, 375, and from graded me-
rino sheep 293, 463 pounds, worth
$35, 664. Besides wool sold, the
Indians wove 843, $50 pounds of
native wool into blankets.
Not many years ago, so the
story goes, the government de-
cided to donate" a herd of fine
bucks to the Navajoes so as to
improve and upbuiId their breed
of sheep. Several of the bucks
were valued as high as $50 each
and were sleek and fat. The
Indians, no doubt not realizing
the value of their new stock and
their appetites probably becom-
ing wearied of poor Navajo NUT
ton, killed and ate every one of
the fine blooded bucks. But in
later years, due to higher civili-
zation, the Navajoes, as we'll as
most all other Indian tribes, have
changed for the better. They
now take pride in raising and
producing the best, for they
know the best brings the big
price. Not only have they ad-
vanced in stockraising, but in
agricultural pursuits as well.
Many of them have up to date
farm implements, and some of
the more we'll to do sport car
riages and even automobiles.
