DANGERS or DRAFT.

Drafts feel best when we are hot and
perspiring, just when they are most
dangerous and the result is neuralgia,
Stiff Neck, Sore Muscles or sometimes
an attack of rheumatism. In such cases
apply Sloan's Liniment. 1t stimulates
circulation to the sore and painful
part. The blood flows freely and in a
short time the stiffness and pain leave
Those suffering from neuralgia or
neuralgia headache will find one or
two applications of Sloan's Liniment
will give grateful relief. The agonizing
pain gives way to a tingling sensation
of comfort and warmth and quiet rest
and sleep is possible. Good for neuri-
tis, too. Price 25c, at your druggist.

and supplies were landed, and finally
oil pumped out of tanks to tighten her
Through this prompt action the YES.

No one was reported hurt. It was
impossible to ascertain the full effect

otherwise the craft was not damaged.

TWO MURDERERS SENTENCED
Electric Chair for One and Life I'm
prisonment for Other

Electric Chair for One and Life I'm
prisonment for Other
Wilburton, Okla, March 26.-In the
Fifth District Court, which was ad-
journed by Judge Brown today, Ros-
we'll Westbrook, tried on a charge of
murder, was sentenced to be executed
in the electric chair, and Jack McKin-
non tried jointly with Westbrook, was
sentenced to life imprisonment. The
men were tried on charges of murder
in connection with the killing of Cal
vim Tomlinson on February 7. West
brook and McKinnon were residents of
Sutter.
Evidence introduced during the
trial showed that two men went to
the Tomlinson home about o'clock
on the evening of Feb. 7, heavily mask
ed, and upon entering the house de-
manded money. Young Tomlinson was
in bed sick, but rose up in bed and
received two shots from a pistol from
which he died the next day. Mrs. Tom
lnson, the mother of the young man,
after seeing her son was shot, pulled
the mask from the man who had fired
the shots and was rendered unconsci-
Gus by a blow from the gun in the
mans hand.
The case attracted unusual interest
from the fact that a dictaphone was
placed in the room the prisoners were
to occupy, and two stenographers
were placed below them, where a con-
versation between the two men was
taken. The transcript of the steno-
graphers was used as evidence.
