Branton had by some means procured a
gun, but kept cool and said : "Oh, come
off." In a few seconds Branton conclud
ed that his ruse had been discovered and
laughed and claimed be meant nothing.
Later be stated that if it had been a real
gun he would have 'done some "real
shooting."
Tbe alleged pistol was. an- ingenious
modefof a navy revolver. It was made
out of a roasted potato for a barrel, and
a piece of tin from one of his suspenders
for a sight, whilo the chamber was made
from a piece of boiled potato, and the
leaden messengers were pieces of burned
bones, and the whole was covered with

Slor Machines Taken Out.
Astokia, March 1. Tonight, for the
first time in several years, there is not a
nickel-in-the-slot machine running in

-deputy prosecuting attorney, notice was
given today that the new state law would
be strictly enforced, and all the machines

. mined upon, the machines will not be

Murderers Branton and
' tempt to Escape.
Smith - At
Eugene, Or., March 1. Clande Bran
ton, the condemned murderer, made an
unsuccessful attempt to escape jail today.
Sheriff Withes, as is bis usual custom,
went -to the jail about 3 o.clock this
morning to relieve Mr. Pratt, the death
watch, who secures the breakfast for the
prisoners. He opened the door of Bran
ton's cell and let him out into the corri
dor between the rows of eteel cells, to
exercise and wash.
While sitting in a chair reading his
morning mail the sheriff was suddenly
ordered to "throw np your hands."
Looking up he saw Branton standing a
little in the dark and holding in his hard
-what resembled a navy six-shooter. The
sheriff was amazed, and thought possibly
Every living thing, plant or animal,
contains within itself the germa of cer
tain dscay and death.
In the human body these germs of
death (called by -scientists Ptomaines),
are usually the result of imperfect diges
tion of food ; the result of indigestion or
dyspepsia.
The 'BtomactT, from abuse, weakens,
does not promptly and thoroughly digest
the food. Tbe result is a heavy, sodden
mass which ferments (tbe first process of
decay) poisoning the blood, making it
thin, weak and lacking in red corpuscles ;
poisoning the brain caueing headaches,
pain in the eyes.
Bad ' digestion weakens the heart,
causing palpitation and finally bringing
on disease of this very important organ.
Poor digestion poisons - the" kidneys,
causing brigbt's disease and diabetes.
And this is so because every organ,
every nerve depends upon tbe stomach
alone for nourishment and renewal, and
weak digestion shows itself not only in
loss of appetite and flesh, but in weak
nerves and muddy complexion.
Tbe great English scientist, Huxley,
said tbe best start in 'life is a sound
stomach. Weak stomachs fail to digest
food "properly, because they lack the
proper quantity of digestive acids (lactic
and hydrochloric; and peptogenic pro
ducts; the most sensible remedy in all
cases of indigestion, is to take after each
meal one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia.
Tablets, because they supply in a pleas
ant, harmless, form all the elements that
weak stomachs lack. ' . '
Tbe regular use of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will cure any form ot trouble,
except cancer of the stomach. "
They increase flesh, insure pure blood
strong nerves, bright eye and clear com
plexion, because all these result only '
from wholesome food well digested.
Nearly all druggists sell Stnart'e Dys
pepsia Tablets at ou cents lull sized
package or by mail, by enclosing price to
Stuart Co., Marshall. Mich. but ask
your druggist first. A little book on'
stomach diseases nailed free." Address

Didn't Pay for the Cattle.
Arlington, Or., March 1. A few of
our cattlemen were treated to an unpleas
ant surprise last week by a couple of pro
fessional cattlebuyers, who failed to fur
nish the money to pay for tbe cattle they
bought. , A draft was given on Portland,
but came back unpaid. The purchasers
were located at Portland and brought to
this city, where they were given a pre-
iminary trial. Evidently the court be-
lived the preponderance of evidence to
be against tbe buyers, whe were held for
appearance in the circuit court.
Freas Saunders has purchased the
wood business of J.. T.' Reynolds in this
city. Those desiring good .wood will find
him by ringing np 'phone number 12. -
New York; Macch 2. A dispatch to
the Herald from Manila says: .The for
mer Spanish gunboat La Guna de Bayo
steamed up the river opposite Macati
this morning and opened fire on the in
surgents on the opposite side from
General Wheaton'a -brigade. She fired
her four Gatiing guns, two Nordenfeldts
and one one-pounder.
At first the insurgents replied with
rifle fire, but they, could not stand be
fore tbe hail frqm"the Gatlings. The
engagement lasted three-quarters of an
hour, and then the insurgents scattered
but as coon as the gunboat withdrew, the
insurgents returned and again opened a
slow and annoying fire across the. river,

Tracy Inman Killed:
Pendleton, Or., . March 1 1. Private
advices from Manila, received today, are
to the effect that Tracy Inman, of thie
city, a member of company D. Oregon
volunteers, was killed yesterday while
engaged in signal service work. - No fur
ther particulars have been received. -
Portland, March 1. Mrs. Xaura
Browning, mother of four children, blew
her brains out at Montavilla today, after
taking, laudanum herself and forcing
three of ber children to drink'the drug.
There are hopes for two of the little girls,
but the- two-year-old baby will probably
die. Although there is no evidence that
the woman-had" been of unsound mind,
the theory of insanity is : the- only one
which will account -or the crime. Mrs.
Browning was alone with her four chil
dren. She asked, them to take a dose of
laudanum, callinjg it tea. Air the chil
dren drank the laudanum except a nine-year-old
boy. The' family was in poor
circumstances, and it is said poverty
drove the mother insane. v - . .
