Aged Jurist Under Care of

Indigestion.

FINED OR SENT TO JAIL

Morning-May be Finished
Today.

q
fudge Dyer the night session called fol
last night had to be adjourned as
Judge Dyer was too weak to attend
court, in which land case was te
be tried. The trial was laid over until
this afternoon.
The aged Judge has not been in the
best of health since he came to the
Cape for the regular term OF Court
He suffered a severe cold shortly be-
fore coming here and was still feeling
the effects of his indisposition when
he called the session Monday morning.
The strain of the three days ses-
sion in court began to show its ef-
fects on the aged man, and yesterday
afternoon he was forced to adjourn
earlier than he had expected. An at
tack of indigestion coupled with the
cold was too much for the Judge. A
physician was called to the Federal
building Immediately after court had
adjourned and treated the Judge.
Judge Dyer retired early yesterday
evening and expected to be back on
the bench this morning. His physl-
clan said last night that the condition
of his patient was not alarming.
When the evening session was called
to order the clerk announced that the
case which was to be heard by the
Judge would not be tried and dismiss
ed the jury till this morning, when the
damage suit of James Alsop against
a milling concern will be taken up.
Of the ten prisoners brought to the
Cape yesterday morning on an indict-
ment of misusing the mails to defraud
a Chicago mail-order house, seven
were convicted by Judge Dyer, while
the other three were released. Lee
Kittrell. Jake Vincent and Charles
Beck were fined 500 and sentenced
to 80 days in the city Jail. Mrs. Flo
Cooper. Mrs. Martha Kittrell, Mrs.
Anna Cooper and James Hampton
were each fined 500.
When the prisoners were led into
the courtroom and the Judges atten-
ton was called to two women who
were carrying their babies on their
arms. he ordered that the charges
against them be dropped after he had
convinced himself that the women
were apparently not guilty Of the
charge brought against them. The
three who were released without a
hearing were Mrs. Nora Robinson,
Mrs. Donia Kittrell and Mrs. Charles
Beck.
All left the city yesterday afternoon
for their homes near Maiden, Dunklln
County. where they had been arrested
Tuesday afternoon by Deputy United
States Marshal Orchard and Postofflce
Inspector Kleinwachter.
The Alsop case occupied the whole
afternoon. No witnesses except the
plaintiff himself were heard as the at
torneys on both sides engaged in a
lengthy verbal battle during the after
noon whether certain contracts alleged
to have been made between the plain,
tiff and the defendants were admis-
sible as part of the evidence. Judge
DYER finally ruled that these contracts
could be introduced as evidence in the
case.
Efforts will be made to complete the
session either Thursday evening ol
Friday smorning. The length of thu
term depends upon the Alsop trial, ano
it is believed that this case will con
sumo the greater part of today's ses
sion.

the merchant first referred to heard
that a certain firm had an allotment of

purchased at 81 a pound, and were
willing to sell at $1.25, the inquirer
said, "All right, I'll take 1t and send

Housekeepers Can Save

In these days when the high cost of liv-

should be overlooked. One Of the most
Migrant and the most easily prevented, is
the destruction of food by rats. One rat

careful estimate gives over 5000, 0OO, 600 as
the value of foodstuffs destroyed annually
by these pests. Exterminate them with

q Who Will Win
This Battle

Your kidneys are the filters of the
body. II they become inactive and fail
to eliminate the waste matter, they are
apt to throw the whole mechanism Of
the body out of order, thus toxic poisons
a accumulate in the system and be as
deadly as snake venom.
Besides causing the minor ailments
Of rheumatism, sciatica, lumbago and
backache, neglect Of the kidneys is apt
to develop into more serious diseases,
such as diabetes or stone in the bladder.
Rid the body of toxic poisons-clean
the bladder and kidneys and cure the
twinges of rheumatism with Anuric and
you win the battle of life.
Anuric was first discovered BY DR..
