herder and scout during the In
dian troubles would offer many an
interesting tale were they to be
gathered together by some his

mate glimpses of early settlers.
Jim" Shea was in the rush of
pioneers to the Black Hills and
played his part in the toll and
danger and excitement of those
days when cattle, gold and Indians
were the three big interests of the
territory. In 1873 he came to that
part of the territory embraced in
the present state of North Dakota

The Lidgerwood Touring mill

says:
A few weeks ago, Mr.. w. r. Mo-
vius had an expert make a care
full examination of the machinery
in the mill and asked him to state
whether or not any of the ma
chinery and is again busy making
out and if there was any sugges-
tions that he could make that
would tend to keep the standard
of the flour at the highest point
he wanted it.
The expert made a study of
the mill and it's machinery and
recommended the addition of the
following machines: Daniles sep
arator, Wetting conveyor, Kirk
dampener, wheat heater and grain
huller. These machines have been
installed in the mill during the
two weeks that it has been shut
down and on Wednesday it start
ed the make of flour again.
These machines place the mill
up to date in every particular and
the expert states that there is no
mill in the country that is better
equipped no wfor the manufacture
of highest grade flour. This care
full attention to keeping the ma
chineGY supk to date has made Lid
gerWoods flour q high name in this

In addition to the above new

Muskogee, Okla, Feb. 1S.-The
Identification of Joe Davis as the
man who at the point of gun, made
him get in the cab and pull his train
across = burning bridge on the night
of the robbery by William Kelm, the
fireman on the Katy Limited: and
the testimony of Walter Spess that
Joe Davis had shown him 81 and 81
bills taken from the express car
were the strong points in the evi-
dence introduced by the government
Wednesday in the case of Jack and
Joe Davis, Buck Burdorif and Bob
Wortham, who are on trial in the
federal court charged with conspir-
acy to obstruct the United States
mail on October %, 1912.
Kelm retold mart OF the story told
by Conductor Jack Dolan Tuesday
of the night of the robbery. He said
they saw the bridge on fire and
stopped the train and with buckets
went to the bridge to put out the
fire. Here they were met by three
men with handkerchefs over theiI
faces, who made the go back to the
train. After the express car had been
looted, Kelm said, the man with the
white mask poked a gun in his ribs
and made him get in the cab of the

in the cab and he said he got a good
look at the man with the gun. lie
told him that he did not believe
the bridge would hold the train and
the man replied, Damn the bridge
go ahead until r ten you TO stop"
The witness pointed out Joe Davis
as the man who was in the cab with
him. He said he could identify
Davis by his movement, by the way
he walked and his voice. He said
the robber cursed him on the night
of the robbery, and talked a good
deal, and every time he hears Davis
voice he is more convinced that he
is the man. Kelm stood up pretty wei
under cross examination.

MEAT CAUSE Of
KIDNEY TROUBLE:
Take Salts to Flush Kidneys II
Back Hurts or Bladder
Bothers.

If you must have your meat every
day, eat it, but flush your kidneys
with salts occasionally, says a noted
authority who tells us that meat
forms uric acid which almost par.
alyzes the kidneys in their efforts to
expel it from the blood. They be-
come sluggish and weaken, then you
suffer with a dull misery in the kid
ney region, sharp pains in the back
or sick headache, dizziness, your
stomach sours, tongue is coated and
when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine gets
cloudy, full of sediment, the chan
nels often get sore and irritated,
obliging you to seek relief two or
three times during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids,
to cleanse the kidneys and flush off
the body's urinous waste get four
ounces OF Jad Salts from any phar-
macy here; take a teaspoonful 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 flush and stimulate sluggish
kidneys, also to neutralize the acids
in urine, so it no longer irritates,
thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
lure. and makes a delightful effer-
vescent uthia-water drink.
