Pendleton Tribune: Albert Janes,

davs auo. and kept pretty busy in getting
outside of no end of "tanglefoot." A hile
well primed up he sat down and wrote
very despondent letter to his mother, i
forming her that it was his intention to
commit suicide. He also informed several
nersmis whom he met here that he was go

Last nmht was the final engagement of
the John S. Lindsay troupe. Mr. Lindsay

HIS STORY.
"About 11 o'clock at night I was sitting
warming my feet in the saloon when Ed
and Newt Jones and several of their friends
entered and called me up to drink. I went
up to the bar and Ed th.cn tolc me I had
better return the dollar I owed him. I
a&ked, 'What dollai?' and at this both
brothers pulled off their coatu and attacked
me, using their fists, a beer mug and a cigar
box. In the meantime another of the
party named Meiner picked up a chair
and threatened to knock the first man down
who iuterferred.. I was holding to the bar for
support, and was kicked loose by Ed Jones.
I then moved across the room, pulled my
gun and told my assailants to stand back.
They paid no attention to my warning, but
crowded on to me and made a grab for my
gun, which exploded over their heads. A
scuffle for the possession of the weapon fol
lowed, during which two more shots were
fired, and Ed Jones fell to the floor.
Meiner then struck me with the chair,
knocking me down, and the revolver was
removed from my fingers.
'I arose, blinded by blows, and Btarteu
out at the rear of the saloon, followed,
spectators say, by Newt Jones who was
hammering me over the nac ot ine neaa
with the pistol; also that he tried to shoot
me. but the pistol naa uecome uuueareu
during the struggle and would not explode.
He then returned 10 Ed, saying that if his
brother was hurt he would kill me.
I made the best of my way to the hotel
and procured a room with some dilKculty.
I was lying down when the constable came
in and told me what I had done. He ad
vised concealment, as there was talk of
lynching ine. and I struck out. I arrived
at Ben Swaggart's seventeen miles distance,
the next evening, and went witn mm to
Heppuer and surrendered myself to Sheriff
Howard.

Another grievance is that at Ontario the
price of coal is 10 per ton while at Hunting
ton, 40 miles west, and Caldwell, 30 miles

In our forefathers' days, plmplos were Bttrfira
ted to diseased blood. But modern medicine hat
demonstrated that rich food docs not create crup
tions by loulins the blood, but retards digestion
which makes the stomach torpid, and tho circu
lation sluggish, and in turn causes an enfeebled
action of the pores which congest or become pim
ply. The madcrq theory therefore la not to treal
the blood, but tho stomach and liver, and it ii
under this new idea, that Joy's Vegetable Sarsa
parilla was conceived. It has wiped out the
" Wood disease" theory of pimples, of the old sar-

spells of Indigestion and dyspepsia and tried
nearly everything. Finally I took one of the
leading sarsaparillai. It did not help me, but
caused pimples to break out on my face, which
wa3 told was caused by tho potash It contained.
II earing that Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla did not
contain mlncraj nnq might act differently, I sent
for it The pimples disappeared immcdiadely and
I have now after months had no return of the old

There have teen many rumors on the
streets of Colfax this week concerning the
mysterious disappearance of Emil Frank,
the Colfax clothing dealer. Notwithstand
ing the energetic efforts of Commoner re
porters to run thesa rumors down to some
thing substantial, they have been futile in,
the main. Sufficient has beeu learned,
however, to warrant ' the belief that within
another' week some startling revelations will
be made public, and the whole mystery
which has shrouded Frank's disappearance
for the past five week's be unraveled- Jh,e
First JSatjpnal Bm of Colfa; baa with
drawn ts offer of $1000 for the appearance
of the missing man, upon instructions from
the latter'a relatives. That Frank has been
made the victim of some dastard's avari
cious greed has been the opinion of the
Commoner from the first, and that the body
will turn np before many days to verify
til is belief, has been more cop.ti4en.tly as
sured from such rurfiors as have ben traoed
to a degree cf truth this week. The scene
will be Spokane Falls. If we mistake not
