this morning 1t shows that the only
witness at the inquest was his wife.
She testified that her husband at time
became violent and threatened to kill
her. She also stated that he had de-
lusions that he was a very wealthy
man and a great inventor.
Acts Rational.
Sheriff Steen informed Attorney Rob
bins. however. that during the eight
weeks Myers has been confined in jail
having had a violent spell; that in
stead of indicating that he imagines
himself wealthy, has. on the contrary
frequently mentioned the fact that he
has very little means, and that he
he says. are we'll able to take care OF
him, should permit him to be kept in
Jail.
When Attorney Robbins called to
see him Myers urged that some effort
to secure his release be put forth
81 discovered in my conversation with
him that he has an excellent memory
for a man of his age, and he discussed
every subject nationally" Mr.. Rob
bins said.
Finds Man Very Weak.
Sheriff Steen informed Mr.. Robbins
that when he went to secure the Gus
tody of the aged veteran he found him
SO weakened physically that he had
to be helped into the automobile. The
sheriff added that he wondered at the
time how man in such a condition
could become violent.
The sheriff also stated that he had
recently written to Mrs. Myers inform
ing her that he did not believe her
husband was insane. and that he had
a notion to send him home. He says
she wrote back suggesting that an
effort be made to secure his admission
into =: soldiers home.
Attorney Robbins states that
he ascertained that recently Mrs. My
ers had her husband to endorse a SIS
pension check to her. The attorney
said he thought this to be a little out
of the ordinary as a man who has been
adjudged insane is not supposed to be
competent to act in such matters.
when l went to see Mr.. Myers
loaned him some money to get chew
ing tobacco" Mr.. Robbins added.
Myers informed Robbins that one
son-in-law, Rudolph Shellabarger.

Hundreds Of the best druggists

long enough to have their own
opinion OF the best way Of selling

Mi-o-na, the great dyspepsia remedy,
is the fairest they ever heard Of.
The Mi-o-na people don't believe that

Hundreds Of people can tell how.
they have been relieved Of stomach
agonies by using this remarkable
remedy. 1t is not simply Q food de

all of the digestive organs into
normal condition and gives rudy,
glowing. vigorous health. A change
for the better will be seen after

its continued use will soon give the
power to eat most anything at any

Mi-o-na is sold under q positive
