HI GILL ON STAND; BUCKINGHAM
 ROASTED
lBY United States CabIsl


 SEATTLE, Tuesday, March T.- Mayor Gill took the stand late this afternoon in his own defense, and is being questioned concerning his early life in Wisconsin. Attorney Fulton, for the defense, cautioned him on talk ing his seat not to allow the prosecu- tion to fuster him or jangle his answers, but just to answer questions slowly and clearly.
 This advice was undoubtedly the re- suit of the fearful cross examination to which Chief Rockingham was sub jected to by U. S. Attorney Reams this morning.
 Rockingham took the stand yester- day and denied ever having accepted money from the Billingsleys. Reams on cross examination went after him again and again to explain why, after having early in the month declared he was going to run the Billingsleys out of town, he never arrested them until after August SO,' though they were bringing in liquor by the carlGad. It was the severest grilling given any witness in local courts in years.

'TanIac Brought Us the Good
Health We Now Enjoy"
They Say.

Back in the days Of '61, when D.
M. Cain, M. Houston and Ike Robins
joined the ranks Of the Union army
at the call of President Lincoln, none
of the three men gave thought to
health. They had youth, and youth
and poor health are strangers.
Cain, Houston and Robins have now
passed the SEVENTEEN milestone Of
life. They met poor health years ago
and retired to the National Military
Home at Leavenworth, Kansas, to
live the remainder of their lives in
suffering, as they thought.
Six weeks ago, Cain, Houston and
Robins were still in poor health.
They had given up hope of ever being
better.
Today, these three veterans boast
of as good health as they enjoyed
back in the sixties. Ask them what
caused the change and they will tell
you, "Tanlac."
