Now Under Way.

Acting on last minute advice that
Civilian Rifle Teams will compete in

has stores, restaurants and an une8-
celled mess hall.
Places on the team are open to AMI
citizen of the State of Delaware whd
is interested in rifle shooting andV
are not confined to top notch shoot
ers only. Men who have had little
or no rifle practice are just as de-
sirable as the old timers and for The
benefit Of such team members a
school of instruction is conducted at
he range for the first two weeks of
he match. Each man is taught to
shoot under the supervision of a
coach and in fact it is for

DUKE EVANS EVADES
POSSES AND ESCAPES
Murderer Of Christian Christensen
Apparently Has Got Away
From State Authorities.

Duke" Evans, negro murderer of
Christian Christensen, Houston far
mer and poultryman, has apparently
evaded the several posses which
have been searching for him since
the killing last week. Last Satur-
day afternoon, through the efforts of
citizens in Harrington and Milford
who raised the money, blood hounds
were taken to woods in the vicin-
ity of Houston where Duke" was
alleged to be in hiding. The hounds
struck a trail, but soon lost it. |
Shortly after midnight the negro is |
said to have been cornered by Officer
Martin, of Seaford, who single hand
ed tried to handcuff him on a coun-
try road. The murderer is said to
have taken the officers gun away
from him and to have escaped with
one handcuff fastened securely to
him. The hounds were taken to Sea-
ford and an effort made to locate the
negro on Sunday; but he again made
good his escape from the searching
parties.
Reports from several localities in
both Delaware and Maryland to the
effect that Evans had been seen in
the neighborhood are received daily.
but no definite clue as to his where
abouts has been secured. The story |
most generally believed in Milford is e
that he was driven from the woods \
near the scene of his crime on L
Thursday by another negro owning o
an automobile, and that he is not {

reward of 100000 for his capture.

YOUR STOMACH

The stomach is a conicalshaped organ,
high in the left abdominal cavity, 1t
prepares food for absorption into the blood
by the small intestine 1t functions auto
matically. Disorders of the digestive sys-
tem or indiscretions in eating bring unmis-
taxable S. o. S. signals from the stomach.
Belching gas, nausea, dizziness or bilious
ness are indications of stomach trouble.
Many remedies have been designed to
combat these conditions, but one in par
ticular has proven unusually effective.
This medicine (Jaques' Capsules) is readily
obtainable at drug stores. 1t is in capsule
form and easy to take. Jaques' Capsules
are inexpensive-60 cents for a generous
supply Yet from the standpoint of the
relief they bring are worth many times
their cost. If unobtainable from your
druggist, will be sent postpaid by the
