CHICAGO. Feb. 25.-When a big

ged 20 a stop at the Engiewood sta
ton early today, a mar descended
whose left eye was a blue black.
swollen marvel. The story was brief.
In his frantic search for his sup
posed runaway wife he had looked
into the wrong berth.
The injured man was Fred A.
Stewart, a wealthy saloon keeper OF
indianapolis. He was taken from
the train by Detective Sergts. Mag
ner and Bailey. and at the detective
bureau was regarded as unbalanced
by the loss OF his wife.
Stewards wife has been missing
for three days. Last night informa-
tion came 20 him, ne told the police
that she was 20 flee from Indianap-
oils on the Big -Four train in company
with another man. In pursuit he
boarded the train, and waited until
IL was well under way.
Then he began his berth-to berth
search. In the gloom OF lower four
he peered upon a sleeping couple.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Pettibone Of
Louisville. Ky.
I've got you now" he shouted.
The man arose and demanded TO
know what he was talking about

responded with the blow 10 the
saloOnman's left eye.
The train was thrown into an up
roar by the struggle that followed
Sleepers rushed into the aisle TO be
overborne by the fight. and it was
some time before Stewart was sub
dued by the train crew and taken
10 the baggage car. He insisted
upon renewing his search through
the sleeping car until the inspira-
ton came 10 him that his missing
wife was in one OF the trunks. There
was another fight to prevent him
opening them.
A telegram 10 Chicago brought
the detectives 10 the Englewood sta
ton. They had hard work TO pre-
vent Stewart from bouncing upon a
farmer whom he accused Of stealing
his wife. He was locked up. al
though no charge was entered
against him.

That was wholly unintentional.
But I stand by the statement which

that there was in that year, ending
about April, 1916, 104 of these execu-

made against the advice of the civil

without requesting the judgment OF
the commission. My authority for

was troubled with stuffy, choky feel

would get short and my pulse so weak
that l was afraid my heart would stop

out of pain for two long years. and | ac-
tually got so weak l could hardly stand
on my feet. I had no appetite and could
not digest a thing To tell the facts i
was starving by degrees. I was a very

came on me, but my weight went down
to 40 pounds.

until got so that 1 could not travel,
and then I bought every medicine that 1
could hear of; none Of them did me any
good, and l grew worse day by day. l
was just trouble to my people, and they
spent all that they could make buying me
medicine, which was just like pouring it
in a rat hole so far as doing me any
finally called to Ferraline by some of my
neighbors who had used it for mild at
tacks of indigestion. 1 consulted my doc
tor and he said that Ferraline might do
me good as he believed it to be a splen-

I at once sent and got a bottle of Fer
raline, and much to my surprise the very
first dose gave me some relief, and be-
fore I had finished the first bottle l was
out of bed and was walking all over the

Kill myself eating, for I could not get
enough to eat, and strange to say, I had
no bad after effect. for right after l An

Ferraline and l would never feel the eff

as l ever was. and l can truthfully saw
that this wonderful compound saved nv
