Watkins Finds That Thief Served

TT. MADISON. Ia. Oct 23.-Deputy
Sheriff j. 3. Watkins is likely to be-
come the guest of honor at the fall
meetings of the Anti-Horse Thief as
sociations throughout this part of the
country for the prompt manner in
which he recovered a team Of horses
and arrested the thief early Saturday
morning. 49,
Fred Burton, a farmer living in
Washington township, drove his team
hitched to a spring wagon to Fort
Madison on Friday evening, and when
it became time to go home he found
that it was missing from the place
where he had hitched them and he
secured the aid of friend with an
automobile to take him home, assum-
ing that the horses had become I'M
tied and had found their way home.
Not finding them at home he appealed
to Deputy Sheriff Watkins and the
trio in the automobile, after inquiry
found that a team answering the de-
scription had crossed the Santa Fe
bridge into Illinois. They followed
and discovered wagon tracks leading
towards Nauvoo and when about three
miles from Nauvoo they came upon

they proceeded to Craze along the
the road.
. A search disclosed the presence of
a man hiding in the high weeds by the
side of the road and in response to
Watkins demand backed UP with a
revolver that he come forth, the thief
appeared and was Immediately recog-
nized by Watkins as a former inmate
Of the penitentiarv. having reen incar-
cerated there during the time that Mr..
Watkins was deputy warden. His
name is Fred Trask, and he had
served two sentences in the peniten'
tiary. one for grand larceny and one
for stealing chickens. and had but re-
Gently been released. His only excuse
was that he had been drinking, Upon
being arranged before the justice of
the peace yesterday morning he
waived preliminary examination and
was bound over to await the action OF
the grand jury. He no doubt will be
severely dealt with. as his previous
convictions, coupled with the present
offense will bring him under the
habitual criminal act.

KIDNEY DISORDERS
QUICKLY RELIEVED

Hundreds of people have been re-
lieved of the agonies caused by weak,
diseased or clogged-up kidneys by
using Solvax, the new remedy that
quickly reaches the source of all kid
ney complaints.
If you suffer with pains in your
back and sides or have any signs of
kidney or bladder trouble such as
rheumatic pains. puffy swellfngs I'M
der the eyes or in the feet and ankles,
If you are nervous, tired and run
down, or bothered with urinary dis
orders, Solvax will quickly and surely
relieve you of your misery.
Solvax Is the most potent remedy
yet devised for Kidding the system of
uric acid and driving out all the pois-
onous impurities which cause such
troubles. It neutralizes, dissolves and
makes the kidneys slft out all the
uric acid and poisons left by the
blood, and renders the kidneys and
urinary organs clean, vigorous and
healthy.
Wilkinson & Co. the popular drug
gists. say that no medicine ought to
be paid for unless it does the user
some good. Wilkinson & Co. there
fore sell Solvax under a positive
guarantee to quickly relieve the worst
cases of kidney trouble or refund the
money Try SOlyaX today and il you
cannot see and feel a decided change
for the better just so to Wilkinson &c
Co. and tell them you want your
money back and they will return 1t
without question. This is the strong
est argument that can be offered In
behalf Of any medicine.
