YOUNG SLAYER
IS NEAR DEATH
AFTER ATTACK
Mob of rs Invades Jail,
Kidnaps and Shoots
Tenant Farmer.

BIZ United Press
JACKSON, KY, Dec. ga young
tenant farmer was near death in a
guarded hospital here today as
county authorities prepared to
round up members Of a mob that
took him from the county Jail into
the country, shot him six times and
tossed him from a flfteen-foot cliff.
Chester Fugate, Is, the victim,
gasped out, in brief period of con-
seriousness, the story Of the MODS
vengeance and named several wide
~ known men of the community as
members. Sheriff S. J. Cockrell said
nc names would be announced until
arrests had been made.
Feeling against Fugate had run
high since he was charged with muir
dering his landlord, Clay Watkins,
wealthy lawyer.
Early Wednesday five men slipped
into the home of Jailer Sollie Combs,
adjoining the Jail, bound his hands
and feet and seized the Jail keys.
Combs said he learned the mob Of
more than Seventy-fve men then
entered the jail, found Fugate and
hustled him away in an automobile.
Sheriff Cockrell led a searching
party.
A feeble moan attracted the at
tention of Jim Butler, a farmer,
nearly six hours later. He descend
ed cliff to a snow-choked ditch
and found Fugate, his head and
body pierced by bullet wounds.
Butler took the young farmer to
the hospital and a guard was post
ed in the belief the mob might re-
turn if it was learned its attack
had not been fatal.
Fuoate, who lived with his father
and three brothers on farm owned
by Watkins, had quarreled with the
landlord over payment for work.
Last week the two met in a country
store and Watkins was shot to death.

Prescription He Wrote
In 1892 is the Worlds
Most Popular Laxative

When DR.. Caldwell started to
practice medicine, back in 1875, the
needs for a laxative were not as
great as they are today. People
lived normal, quiet lives, ate plain,
wholesome food, and got plenty OF
fresh air and sunshine. But even
that early there we're drastic
physics and purges for the relief
of constipation which Dr. Caldwell
did not believe were good for
human beings to put into their
system. So he wrote a prescrip-
ton for laxative to be used by his
patients.
The prescription for constipation
that he used early in his practice,
and which he put in drug stores
in 1892 under the name of DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin, is a liquid
vegetable remedy, intended for
women, children and elderly people,
and they need just such mild,
safe, gentle bowel stimulant as
Syrup Pepsin.
Under successful management
this prescription has proven its
worth and is now the largest selling
liquid laxative in the world. The
fact that millions of bottles are used
year proves that it has won the
confidence of people who needed it
to get relief from headaches, bilious
ness, flatulence, indigestion, loss of
appetite and sleep, bad breath,
dyspepsia, colds and fevers.
