SPANIEL ACQUITTED
 OF MURDER, OF WIFE
JURY REACHES VERDICT AFTER ABOUT TWO HOURS DELIBERA-
 TION-DEFENDANT ABSENT.

San Angelo, Tex.-Harry J. Span ton, Pa, ordered released on $5,000 bond will leave the county jail here and thus see his first liberty. since July 20, 1916, the day he is charged with having shot and killed Lieut.-Col. M. c. Butler at Alpine, Texas. He was acquitted in the district court on q charge of having killed his wife, Crystal Holland Spanell, who met death in Spanells automobile at the same time Butler was killed.
 Judge Duboise, presiding, imme- diately set Spanell's bond at $5,000 in the Butler case and the bond was made He has been in jail variously at Alpine, Fl Paso and San Angelo since July 20.
 The case against Spanell charging the killing of Col. Butler was trans- ferred to Coleman County when Judge Duboisc granted a change of venue. No date has been set for this trial.
 The jury deliberated about 30 min utes before asking the sheriff to send for Judge Duboise. The verdict was announcedsat 2:10 p. m. The defend ant was not brought in to hear the verdict
 That Spanell was not in court to hear the jury give him freedom was due to a suggestion by Judge Du- boise.
 When the verdict was announced many of the spectators hurried from the courtroom into the street and cheered loudly
 Spanell broke down when the yer dict was given to him in his cell. He sobbed: Crystal, oh, Crvstal!"
 Visitors besieged the jail, but be- cause of Spanell's condition they were not allowed to see him.
 Judge Duboise in district court re- leased Harry J. Spanell in S5,000 bond in the case charging him with the killing of Lieut-Col. M. C. Butler and granted change of venue to Cole man, Coleman County, Texas. The case probably wll be called at the May term of court

GAS, DYSPEPSIA
 AND INDIGESTION
"Pape's Diapepsin" settles sour, gaSSy stomachs in five
 minutes-Time it!

You don't want slow remedy when your stomach is bad-or an uncertain oDe-or harmful one-your stomach is too valuable; you mustn't injure it.
 Papes Diapepsin is noted for it's speed in giving relief; it's harmless. ness; it's certain unfailing action in regulating sick, sour, gassy stomachs. Its millions of cures in Indigestion, dyspepsia, gastritis and other stomach trouble has made it famous the world over.
 Keep this perfect stomach doctor in your home-keep it handy-get a large fifty-cent case frora any dealer and then if anyone should eat something which doesn't agree with them; if what they eat lays like lead, ferments and sours and forms gas; causes head ache, dizziness and nausea; eructa- tions of acid and undigested food remember as soon as Papes Diapepsin comes in contact with the stomach all such distress vanishes. It's prompt ness, certainty and ease in overcoming the worst stomach disorders is a reve lation to those who try it.-Adv.
