NEWLYWED CLAIMS THAT HE WAS
ASSAULTED AND ROBBED; TALE
TOLD BY {. j. BECK, ST. PETER

Married on Thursday and robbed
on Monday. That was the story re-
lated of DR.. f. ]. Beck of Milwau-
kee, who was enjoying his honeymoon
in St. Peter.
He came to st. Peter on Tuesday
of last week and was married on
Thursday evening to Miss Luella
Meyer, and has since been staying
at the home of her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. John Meyer, on Minnesota av-
enue. The groom and bride have
been planning to leave st. Peter to-
morrow.
Last evening DR.. Beck went out to
take walk 1t was about ten o'clock,
when he was about to go into the
house, that somebody stepped up be-
hind him and struck him in the back
of the head He was knocked down
and stunned for few seconds. Then
he struggled to his feet, caught sight
of the disappearing form of tall

man and started after him. The doc
tor is a large man and probably
thought he could get the best of his
assailant, who was making for an
automobile. At that moment, however,
he stumbled and fell. He called to his
wife and her. mother, Mrs. Meyer.
Mrs. Meyer came out. They saw man
jump into the auto and make off in
great haste for Kasota.
After the doctor got into the house,
somebody there asked about his
pocket book. He felt in his pocket and
found that it was gone. Then he went
out in front of the house, where the
assault had taken place and found
the pocket book empty. 1t had con-
tanned 1902, so DR.. Beck claimed.
The doctor said the man that as
saulted him was about five feet eleven
inches tall and did not wear a hat
The police of st. Peter, Mankato and
other cities were notified.

where he can readily distinguish it
and no member shall use any other
members uniform without first OBJ
tanning his permission. The foreman
shall leave his trumpet with the
trucks, and the first member arriv-
ing in the house after an alarm OF
fire shall take the trumpet and be
obeyed as foreman until one of the
other officers shall arrive"
These rules make it plain that the
uniform was a very important part
of the fireman's makeup and those
veterans would smile when they see
today that it is efficiency and not
form that counts for so much. These
books, giving the minutes of all the
meetings since 1860, are carefully
guarded by the present fire men, and
it is right they should. Pictures of
old warriors also look down upon the
clean beds, billiard tables, and other
comforts of the men who are hold
ing themselves ready to answer the
alarm, and were it the veterans priv
ilege to be here now, they would re-
joice and be happy at the wonderful
department that has sprung from
their humble beginning.
They did their bit toward Fire
Prevention, and the old veterans
who have been through the mill are
therefore eager to assist in any cam
pafgn such as has been instigated by
Theodore Williams to prevent fires.
They firmly believe the old adage,
IAN ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure,n and any of the girls
or boys will find them willing givers
of information as to what should be
in an essay on Fire Pre-
vention."

AGAIN HE TELLS

While in town, c. A. Brown. we'll
known resident of Clayton. Del, told
the following interesting story.
For over fifteen years my wife was
a sufferer from Indigestion, stomach
trouble and an extremely nervous con-
dition. Food of any kind would fer
ment in her stomach. and. OF course.
bloating and distress and pain fol-
lowed. II finally came to the point
where she could retain no food at all.
Vomiting after each meal was respon-
sible for this. Then too. her sleep
was affected and her strength grad
ually lessened. She was nervous also.
and toward last could hardly drag her
self around. During all Of this time
we tried everything, but nothing did
any good until we heard OF Tanlac
through friends.
Now. after taking two bottles of
Tanlac, Mrs. Brown enjoys her former
good appetite and can eat almost any
thing she likes. Her sleep is sound
and rest producing. There is no more
vomiting and nervousness is fast leav-
ing her.
The change in my wife's condition
is so marked that all Of our friends
tell how well she looks All of this
and regained strength and weight
have made my wife a different woman
in every way
I'VE are glad to endorse Tanlac for
publication. as ii has made our home

with big smile.
