Foley's Honey and Tar, which gave me
so much relief that I bought some of

cured me of what the physicians called
consumption, and 1 have never bad any
trouble with my throat or lungs since
that time."

OFSUITCASCS
The suit case deal vhlch occupied
the attention of the court yesterday
and for a time seemed to become d
very complicated affa'r, has evenua'
ly resolved itself down today to be t
simple case of replevin wherein the
Pacific Express company la reeUsd
from further participation In the af
fair. As the Incident now stands, Mr.
Mann, who owned the suit cases, or
said he did, will have to bring a stu't
born fight to regain them.
When the party yesterday known as
John Doe took the suit cases from the
trucks without presenting checks, he
took what was not rightfully his. The
baggage was destined to the "front"
and to Insure the fellow's arrival at
the other end where the construction
company could coax enough work out
of him to pay for his transportation
from Portland, the checks were In the
hands of the . construction company.
The fellow decided to "beat" the com
pany out of the free trip and took nts
suit cases from the trucks. At fltst
he left them In the hotel, but latt
took them to the express office, where
he left Instructions to have them ship
ped to Poratello. Thereby comes In
another story, for the local agent had
given a receipt for the value of the
goods, and when the replevin papers
were made out, officers took the goods
leaving Agent Hlbberd with a receipt
against him for 111 and nothing to
show for It. The express company
will have to simply set up a esse of
lost by replevin proceedings to be let
out of the mlxup.
Personal services were mad on the
man who took the suit cases today,
and at present It doe not appear that
the case wilt go any farther, as the
defendsnt has but poor chances of re
gaining his property until he goes to
the "front" and sweats out his transportation.
