witness next stated that lie saw For
reeter and Gumm together, and that
Gamm pulled off his coat and said, "If
you want to fight, jump on." Gumm
was using very abusive language and
talking in loud voice. The marshal
then stopped the altercation, and For
reeter seemed to be glad to get away.
Witness Mid this was about an hour and
a half before Brogan was killed. Also,
that be heard Brogan say when he was
talking to Forrester that he had been
hurt by horse falling on him and was
not able U fight. Farther that he said
be did not want any trouble. Forrester

Tbe attorneys engaged in numerous
dsccossions during the time Cowne was

Forrester was fleeing and trying to get
out of the reach of the law and away
from justice, while the defense contend
ed that Forrester's statements to Cowne
as to the reason for fleeing were part of
the rngertae.

On cross examination the witness
stated tbat when he went into Silver
tooth's be met Brogan and asked him
to have a drink, and he did. He did
not remember whether anyone else
drank with him. Clarno then stepped
back and Brogan walked to the end of
bar, when Slim asked all to have a
drink. Brogan said "I won't drink
with you ." The witness
did not hear Slim make tho remark
"This is hell." "I refused to take a
drink but do not know whether
Gumm did or not. Somebody said
'3o to it,' but I do not know who it

gan, but be got another one and struck
Forrester, who was in a squatting
position. "Some one else must
have knocked Forreeter down a
second time, but not Brogan." Witness

inchea and saw a chair coming down,
but did not know who had it, but that
it came down on a man stooping at the
bar. Saw the chair a second time, and

CATARRH OF
THE STOMACH
A Pleasant, Simple: but Safe and Ef
fecual Cure for It.
Catarrh of tbe stomach ha long been
considered the next thing to incurable.
The usual symptoms are a full or bloat
ing sensation after eat in, accompanied
sometimes with sour and watery rising,
a formation of gases, causing pressure
on the heart and lungs and difficult
breathing; headaches, fickle appetite,
nervousness and a general played out
languid feeling.
There is often a foal taste In the mouth
coated tongue and if the interior of the
stomach could he seen it would show a
slimy, inflamed condition.
Tiie cure of this common and obsti
nate trouble is fonnd in a treatment
which causes the food to be readil v. thor
oughly digested before it can to ferment
and irritate the delicate mucus surfaces
of the stomach. To secure a prompt and
healthy digestion is the one necessary
thing to do, and when normal digestion
is secured the-catarrhal condition will
have disappeared.
According to Dr. Harlanson the safest
and best treatment is to use after each
meal a tablet.composed of Diatase.Asep-
tic Pepsin, a little Nux, Golden Seal
and truit acids. These tablets can now
be found at all drugstores under the
name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and
not being a patent medicine can be nsed
with perfect safety and assurance that
healthy appetite and thorough digestion
will certainly follow their regular use af
ter meals,
Mr. N. .1. Booher, of 2710 Dearborn
Street, Chicago, 111., writes: "Catarrh
is a local condition resulting rom a
neglected cold in the head, wbereby the
lining membranes of the nose become
inflamed and the poisonous discharge
therefrom passing backward luto the
throat reaches the stomach, thus nro-
ducing catarrh of the stomach. Medical
authorities prescribed for me for three
years for catarrh of the stomach without
care, but today I am the happiest of
men after using only one box of Smart's
Dyspepsia Tablets. I cannot find an-
propriate words to express my good fil
ing. I have fonnd flesh, appetite and
tonnd rest from their use."
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is tbe safest
preparation as well as the simplest and
most convenient remedv for an r.,rm i
indigestion, catarrh of the stomach,
billionsness, sour stomach, heartburn
and bloating after meals.
