Ten Pounds on Karnak
"Say What You. Want, This
New Medicine Hasn't An
Equal" Declares Seth E. Day.

"Well, sir, if there is anything
better than Karnak for stomach
trouble | don't know what it is, and
don't. want to, for this Karnak is
sure good enough for me any day
in the week.
That's the way Seth R. Day, pop
ular mechanic of 901 18th Ave,
Giratd, Ala, just across the river
from Columbus, Ca, talks about
this new medicine that is creating
such a sensation everywhere.
''No, sir, say what you want to,
Karnak can't be beat" continued
Mr.. Day. Before | got hold of
this remarkable medicine six years
suffering from stomach trouble and
indigestion dragged me down to
where | felt tired and rotten all
the time and had just lost interest
in everything.
"After every meal gas would
press around my heart until |
thought it would actually stop
beating. Any kind of exercise
would make ny breath come in
short gasps. The gas would make
me so nervous and kept me in so
much pain that many nights l had
to get up and walk the floor.

ing like I had already done a big

myself to eat any breakfast. Yes,

tha summer of 1922 or 1928, he could
not remember which he had seen
1iohts at the crossing which were
maintained by the electric ROAD. Al
TOR the road was placed under con-
struction these lights had been aoan-
doned,
Mrs. Mary A. Dill and William E.
nil mother and father of the boy
who was killed, testified that ne mao
contributed materially to the support
of their family which at that time
numbered eight. Ashley was the only
one of the children old enough to
work and he contributed an average
of at least $40 a week.
Alonzo Trafton of Gardiner. gar
age man, stated that he had taken
care of the car in which WEIGH and
Young Dill were riding and that he
had found the gears in neutral and
the transmission in such condition
that they could not be moved without
the aid of tools. The engine was
pushed back to the floor boards, and
the transmission still connected to
the engine was resting upon the
ground. The drive shaft was bent so
that it was necessary to disconnect II
before the car could be towed in.
This completed the evidence Of the
plaintiff and the jury was excused
until $3.50 this morning at which time
the case will be resumed. Attorney
John E. Nelson, appearing with w.
Tudor Gardiner for the defendant
company asked for non-suit just
before the adjournment Of court but
the motion was overruled.

A motion for non-suit made by the
attorney for the defendant company in
the case of Dill ct ais, administrators,
VS.. the Androscoggin & Kennebec Rail-
road Company was overruled late
Wednesday afternoon by Judge Will
liam H. Fisher after the plaintiffs
case had been presented. The case
will be resumed this morning. The
ad damnum In the case is fixed at
$4,000.
This action results from an accident
on october 8, 1923, at the so-called
Grants crossing in Farmingdale, when
an automobile driven by Ashley WEIGH
and with Ashley Dill as passenger
was in a collision with an electric car.
Dill died the next day at the Gardiner
General Hospital. The suit is brought
by William E. Dill and Mrs. Mary Dill,
father and mother Of the boy and ad-
ministrators of his estate
Driver of Automobile Testifies
Ashley WEIGH of Gardiner who
was the driver of the car in which
Dill was riding at the time of the
accident, was the only witness heard
Wednesday morning as the greater
part of the forenoon was taken up
with trip to Farmingdale In order
that the members of the jury might
view the scene of the accident.
Mr.. WEIGH stated in answer to the
questions of Attorney Ernest l..
Goodspeed of Gardiner who with At
torney B. F. Maher of Augusta are
representing the plaintiffs In this
action, that he had been to the NOV
ing pictures at the johnson Opera
House the evening of October .,
1923, and had left the building about
ten o'clock. He had invited Ashley
Dill to go with him to HALLOWEEN to
look in on dance and this they
had done. They had stayed but a
short time and then had started
back toward Gardiner. He placed
the time at about 1855 P. M.
They had been going at between
% and 80 miles an hour until they
reached Louden Hill where they ran
into fog. The fog was very heavy
and the witness declared that he had
reduced his speed until he was go
ing between 20 and % miles an hour.
He had then kept his position in the
road by watching the center seam in
the pavement.
Thought Car Was An Automobile
At the top of the long hill near
the crossing he had applied his brake
and had thrown the car into neutral.
He had kept the brake on until near
the foot of the incline when he had
released it and had let the car
coast under it's own momentum. He
had seen the light from the electric
car some distance ahead of him but
had thought that it was an auto
mobile with one light or a motor

cycle. He had not slowed the auto
mobile very much as he thought
that the other would pass him as
any automobile would do. When al
most on the crossing he noticed that
the other machine seemed to be
crowding him and then he had seen
the outline of the electric car when
it was too late to stop.
He was thrown forward by the
collision but had been the first one
to climb out onto the road. When
he had gone around the car to find
Dill he saw him sitting on the fold
ing seat which he had been occupy
ing, in an unconscious condltlon.
They had both been taken to the
hospital and when he got out the
next morning he found that Dill had
died.
The witness declared that he had
heard no whistle OF other noise that
would indicate that the approaching
vehicle was an electric car. His
windows had been closed and the
ventilator in the cowl was the only
part of his car which was open. He
had known of lights being main
tanned at the crossing.
FamiIiars With Highway
On cross examination, which was
conducted by Attorney John E. Nell
son, counsel for the Androscoggin
and Kennebec railroad, he admitted
that he knew that it was dangerous
to drive in such dense fog and that
he had been driving at a speed of
between 20 and % miles an hour.
He also declared that he had known
of the crossing and that it was used
by the electric cars.
The cross examination brought
out the fact that he could not see
an object in the road at distance
of more than 30 feet so dense was
the fog. The witness stated that he
had not thought particularly of the
crossing and that Dill had not call
ed his attention to it in any way nor
had Dill spoken to him or in any
other way caused him to take his
attention from the road for an in
slant.
DIR. George W. Alexander, a physi-
clan, testified that he was called to
attend Ashley Dill when he was taken
to the hospital and that he had been
very badly injured. He stated that
the boy had never recovered con-
seriousness while he was there. The
boy had died at GAS the next morn
ing.
Passengers Testify
Frank Chavarry of Hallowell and
Percy Fl. Bradbury also of Hallowell,
passengers on the electric car teSti-
fed that they did not know If the
motorman had blown the whistle or
not, but there was nothing unusual in
the way in which the car was operat-
ed. Bradbury testified that after the
crash the electric car was well over
on the right of the road as it would
appear to Mr.. Wells and that it was
nearly up to the platform where pas
sengers are discharged. He stated
that the front end of the automobile
was against the front end of the car.
William Hamilton of Gardner a
truck driver who was in an auto,no-
bile a short distance behind the
Welch car stated that he rode on the
running board of the automobile in
which the injured lad was taken to
the hospital and he was with HIM un-
til the doctor arrived. Dill was never
conscious during that time. He said
that he could see the lights when he
