THE WHOLESOME
(JlKCENT
So far as the verdict rendered by
the coroner's Jury that has been ex-
amining into the cause of the death
of Seymore Swauger. is concerned. It
throws no light upon the manner in
which the tnan met his end. This
morning, after eight days of delibera
tion and the examination of 27
27 wit-
necces, the Jurymen brought in their
verdict. It is a strong supposition
that Swauger came to his death in
some foul manner, and the Jury made
a strong effort to trace down all cir
cumstances and clues that would tend
to confirm the belief.
The verdict follows
"Seymore Swauger came to his
death by being run over by a train on
the Oregon Railroad A Navigation
company road, one and one-halt
miles west of Bingham Springs, on
the night of October 21. or the morn
ing of October 22.
"The evidence shows that he left
Pendleton while tn an
Intoxicated
condition, on an eastbound train at 7
o’clock In the evening. The evidence
and location of the body and clothing
when found indicate that he was
killed by a westbound train.”
The Jury was composed of the fol
lowing: J. A. Blakley. A. Schmidt.
C. C. Hendricks. H. E. Laatz. T. E.
Morgan and Joseph Dunn.
To arrive at the conclusion that
Swauger met his death by being run

There are different kinds of tonics, but
the tonic most needed in thia «Xeuntry,
where catarrh la so prevalent, la a tome
that operates on the mucous m«u*brsnsa.
Peruns is a tonic to the mucous mem

to ths capillary circulation which coa-
atltules these deur.ate membranes,
Peruna la a specific In its operaUoa
upon the mucous membrane. It u a

tarrhal afft^UotM. It gives Ume to ths
minute blood vessel« and the terminal
nerve fibres. Catarrh' amnot exist long

Peruna seeks out catarrh In all the bid

fate. They »aid they could do nothing
for me, tliat I had cancer of the stomach
and there »u no cure. I almoat thought
the «arue, for my breath was something
awful. 1 could hardly stand it, it was
•o offensive. I could not eat anyth.ng
without great misery, and 1 gradually
grew worse.
“ Finally I got one of your books, and
com .uded 1 would try Peruna, and thank
< oxi. I found a relief and a cure for that
dreadful disease. I Vxek five bottles of
Perunaand two of Manaim, and 1 now
