He has been here for two years and a half and succeeded in harmonizing the clashing elements of a church that had been divided for years, Although a young man, he had remarkable success, and the church membership is much larger now than it has ever been before. Mr. Davis has re- celved a call from the Baptist church at Chadron, Neb,, and has accepted it. In four counties. surrounding Chadron there are thirteen Baptist churches, all of them weak and without pastors. He has found the work here too hard for his physical wel- fare. The church accepted his resignation and passed a resolution setting forth the deep regret with which his decision was recelved. He will occupy the pulpit here until after the last Sunday in March, when he will leave for his new home. Best material and good cooking win in running an eating house. Pearl chop house.

Blixt was sent for from the jail, and pend- ing his arrival his two statements were read to the jury with some omissions passed on by the court, Shortly afterwards the defense rested, hav- ing secured a denfal from Blixt of the as- sertions of Warren. The first witness In rebuttal was Oliver G. Torrence, who went to where the body lay on the night of the murder with the officers, He wore pointed shoes and walked all around the road at that point. This evidence was intended to explain the mysterious pointe shoes tracks found by the detectives. M. Griffiin, a paper hanger, corroborated Adry’ testimony and impeached Harry's by swear- ing that he found the two together in the Hayward office when he called on November 30. He was not shaken in his identification of the date by Mr. Erwin's cross-examina- tion. R. R. Odell, attorney for Blixt, denfed the story of Maggle Wachter, his stenographer, point blank, and declared 'that Blixt had not made the statements with reference to Adry's complicity attributed to him by Miss Wachter. — COMPLAINS ABOUT THE JUDGES. Charges Agninst Corion and Kellam of the le. South Dakota Supremo Pench. PIERRE, S. D., Feb. 28.—A resolution was introduced in the senate today providing for the investigation of sworn charges made by C. K. Lane, formerly of Redfield, 8. D., and now of Ohlo, against Judges Corson and Kellam of the South Dakota supreme court. Lane declares that he has been deprived of his property through a decision based on mis- representation and fraud and that the judges were aware that it was so based when it was made. The original case was an attachment procceding brought by Boyes Bros. & Cutler of St. Paul against Lane for drugs. Lane has repeatedly made charges, but little atten- tion has been pald to them.

There are main reasons why the polle> have given up this theory. One | the description of the man does not correspond to O'Connors’ description, Persons who saw man vary much in their the majority of them say that he was a shorter and heavier man than O'Connors. The officials on the train on which the rob- nors, as at first the escaping descriptions, but | bers rode to Council Blufts give a very fair scription, and this almost beyond digpute t onnors. Another reagon that has lod police to give, the a 18 thelr knowledge of the ‘man's character. They =ay that O'Connors has not nerve enough to thoot a man under any circumstances. As foon as this was established o far the police cast about for a man that would fill the bill, and there are now two mon either of whom they think might b the es caped robber. Thess are Beck, allas Dyke- man, and Grifin, allas King. Both are desperate men and noted criminals. They, together with O'Brien, who is now In the count Jall awalting trial for throwing a spittoon” at Sargeant Whalen at the time of his arrest, were charged with robbing dow of hig 1able gold watch while o was at the Millard hotel. It can be scen what the dangerous character of the men is by O'Brien’s desperate attempt to either kill or knock unconscious Sargeant Whalen even after they were locked behind the fron rafling at the station. Sandow re- fused to come to the city to prosecute the men and Beck and Grifin were released, O'Brien belng held for his assault on Whalen, Griffin is a noted criminal, he was captured in this city here, but befors the off arresting him he drew a revolver and at- tempted to kill him. He was sent to the penitentiary for a short term. Immediately after his releass he engaged in another robbery in lowa, was captured, and scrved a term at Fort Madison. He had been re- leased only eight of ten days before the Sandow robbery. Beck, alias Dykeman, fs another bird of the same stripe, and is also a convict, hav- ing served soveral terms in various peniten. tiaries. His operations, however, have not extended to this part of the country until recently. In fact, all three, togethor witn the men_ who are now under arrest fn Coun- cfl Blufts for the Griswold robbery, are castern crooks, having headquarters in Chl- cago. Both Beck and Grifin answer well the de- scriptions given of the escaped robber. This is cspecially true in the case of Griffin, who is a heavy and a_ short man. In addition to that, although both men are dangerous, Griffin_is more desperate than the other, and from the knowledge the police have of his character they think he would take any chances in preference to going again to the penitentiary. Beck, however, is not much behind him in this respect, and also answers to some extent the descriptions of the ber. It is a question, therefore, It either is the man, which one it is. There is still another strong circum- stance which connects these men with the robbery., When Beck, Griffin and O'Brien were arrested for the Sandow robbery they told a lawyer whom they engaged that they had stolen the watch and intended to send it to a fence that they had in Chicago. This fence was a saloon, and there were two men who ran it, the saloon keeper and the bar- is such that it fs at the man was not Six years ago for a burglary er succeeded in two Further than this, they offered to this saloon keeper and bartender for to defray the lawyer's expenses to RO to seo these two men. A telegrame 10 that effect war sent and tho money are | rived, but after thinking the matter over the lawyer decided that he did not care to gou fe disclosed the information that he re« celved to the police, but as Sandow refused to prosecute no use' was made of it this Information now throws a good deal of light on the fdentity of the escaped | robber. 1t will bo_remembered that on the morning after the Griswold robbery the robe bers sent a valise to Chicago, which cone tained $499 worth of postage stamps takem from the bank. The express rocelpt for the valise was found on the person of one of | the robbers who was arrested and the Chis | cago police were notified to look for the mam | or men who would call for the valise. They, | a1a so and captured two men. One of these men was a saloon keeper named D. Miller and the other was his bartender. They are now under arrest, TO SAVE EXPENSES, Sunitary tuspoct At the meeting of the Doard of Health held yesterday afterncon fivo of the members got together and waved the retrenchiment knife until it was quite gory.

The motion passed.

Where else would you expect a person to die? You wouldn’t expect a sick person to get up and go out of doors to die, when there was a nice house, with all the modern conveniences right at hand to die in, would you? And still there are lots of folks that do die in the house, before there is any reason for them to die at all. Haven't you seen friends of yours just waste right away, almost under your own eyes, when it did seem as if there could have been something done to stay the dread disease? The doctor called it Consumption, probably. May be it was a hard cold 4 at first, and a gradual decline. A good doctor says Use Ozomulsion in such a case. Ozomulsion won't bring a man back from the cemetery, but it has prevented many a man and many a woman from going there. Are you on your way? Are you beginning to get tired out ? Get- ting so that good things don't taste good any more ? Getting worried ? Getting so you cough every day, and lots of nights? Want to get hungry? Want to have things taste good? Want to eat and enjoy it ? Try Ozomulsion. May be it won't help you. It costs a dollar to try a bottle, More likely it will. You'd give a dollar to be better, wouldn't you? And you'd give more than a dollar to get well, probably.
