only one way to cure Catarrhal Deafness,
and that is by a constitutional remedy.
HALLS CATARRH MEDICINE acts

caused by an infiamed condition Of the

When this tube is infiamed you have a

wher 1t is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result. Unless the Inflammation can be re-

Ger Kills Seven in Twenty
Years.

Pueblo, Colo.-When four Mexicans
came to his house to assassinate him,
as the police believe, at 1:20 o'clock
in the morning, City Detective Charles
Baty, 704 West Fourth street, shot and
killed Salvador Parea, ~twenty-eight,
and put the other three to flight.
Baty arose from a sick bed to meet
the Mexicans after they had inter-
cepted his son with drawn pistols in
front Of the house. They allowed
young Baty to proceed into the house
and he aroused his father. Mr.. Baty,
partially clad, went to the front door
and opened it. AS he did so six bull
lets, fired in rapid succession, imbed-
ded themselves in the framework Of
the door.
Wife Loads Gun as He Fires.
Baty returned the fire and emptied
his revolver into the crowd, shooting
from the open doorway. Parea drop
ped dead and the three others ran.
Meanwhile Mrs. Baty had arisen,
loaded two more revolvers and hand
ed them to her husband, who ran into
the street and fired after the retreat
ing trio.
This is the seventh Mexican whom
Baty has killed in his 20 years on the
police force, during which time he has
handled practically all important po-
lice cases among the Mexican popula-
ton.
Plan to Kill Him Formed.
On January II Baty went into a
darkened room in the Mexican district
to make an arrest, while three other
detectives waited outside. The door
