Speclal Dispatch to The Call, SPOKANE, Wash., Dec. 22.—Intense ex- citement prevails at Almira over the cold Llooded murder of Judge Lewis and his wife, whose lifeless and mutilated bodles were found at their ranch home five miles southwest of here Sunday morning. If the murderers are captured they will have small chance for life, gs threats of lynch- || ing are heard on all sides. i‘ It is now belleved that the murderers | | secured a large sum of money. It is known that Judge Lewis,always kept cgnsiderable money at his house in a safe, as he had great distrust of banks. He and his wife werc of very frugal habits ||| ana had been saving money for several years. The murderers ransacked the house thoroughly, even tearing up the || | carpets'in their search for treasure. It remained for a newspaper man to find the only treasure which the robbers had overlooked. Hundreds of people had searched and researched the house to-day and the officers had noted every detali, when Lduie D. Todd, staff correspondent of the Spokesman-Review, found $26 in gold coin. The money was necatly rolled in a rag, fastened with a pin and hid on top of the window-sill in the parlor. The ||| money was turned over to Sheriff Gard- ||| mer. || The bodies of the murdered man and his wife were brought to Almira to-day. A jury was impaneled and an inquest will be held to-morrow. Dr. Lewis, a brother of the deceased, has offered a reward of $00 for the arrest’ and conviction of the murderers, and it 18 belleved additional rewards will be of- fered by the County and the State. A sherift’s posse has secured some clew, the nature of which is kept well guarded, but developments e expected at any hour. The people here are terribly worked up over the affalr, and every move of the posse I8 closely watched. The officers spent the day sn the vicinity of the ranch. While admitting that he has some trace of the murderers, Sheriff Gardner refuses to say anything further, belleving that his work will be hampered. The country around the Lewis place is wild and rugged, affording excellent shel- ter from pursuit.

Friends of Defendant Make Noisy Demonstration in Courtroom. Bpecial Dispatch to The Call. SAN BERNARDINO, Dec. 22.—Daniel Mellus, a well known Southern Pa- cific conductor, who was charged with the murder of Herbert A. Landon, in Colton on June 2 last, was acquitted late this af- ternoon, the jury being out less than fif- teen minutes. The case had been in the Superior Court of this city since last Monday and attracted large crowds from here and from Colton, where the defend- ant has many friends. When the verdict was read by the foreman of the jury the friends and rajlroad men who had gath- ered to hear the decision cheered and the voices were only suppressed when Judge Smith hammered repeatedly on his desk for order. On the night of June 2, Landon, & Southern Pacific brakeman, stumbled into the caboose of Conductor Mellus in the Colton yards. He was intoxicated and proceeded to abuse Mellus, among other things calling him a “scab.” A few min- utes later Landon was found in a chair dead. He had been killed by a blow from a heavy brakestick and Mellus was charged with the murder. The evidence at the trial developed the fact that Landon was troublesome when drunk and that Mellus was a sober, indus- trious worker. No one could be found who saw the blow struck and the result was that the jury found a verdict of ac- quittal. BOY PRISONER SHOOTS CONSTABLE IN THE EAR Makes His Escape, but Is Subse- quently Surrendered to the Authorities. PETALUMA, Dec. 22.—Austin Hooper, a grandson of the late capitalist, A. B.

He then went to Dixon, and upon telegraphic advice Constable Stanton followed him. The Constable fcund the hoy asleep and attempted to take him to jall, whereupon Hooper drew a pistol and shot a hole in the Constable’s ear. Hooper came here last night, and was surrendered by his rela- tives.

SANTA BARBARA, Dec. 22.—A suit in- volving important water rights, which was instituted several years ago and is one of the most important in the history of this county, was decided to-day by Judge Day in the Superior Court. The action was brought against the Pacific Improvement Company, which is improw~ ing a large tract of land northwest of this city, by Mary L. Moore and the Veronica Springs Company, whose lands adjoin. For the purpose of developing a water supply for their tract the Pacific Improve- ment Company ran a tunnel into the hills on their property and in doing so, the plaintiffs alleged, the company tapped the San Rouqul Creek, the latter's chief scurce of supply of fresh water. In his decision Judge Day decides in favor of the Pacific Improvement Com- pany, granting them the right to eleven and one-half inches of water, the balance, if any, to be diverted into the creek, which runs through the property of ‘the plaintiffs. ' The court decided a fine point when jt declared that the defendant company was cntitled to the seepage water from San Roqui Creek, under a section of/ which the tunnel of th@company has been ex- tended. The plaifitiffs asked $10,000 dam- ages, which was denled. i s OMAHA, Nebr., Dec.

They Point Out the Cause of Progressive ' Hardness of Hearing and Show Con- Says a well-known ear specialist: ‘“‘Deafness in 90 per cent of the cases is the direct result of closure of the eustachian tube (a little pas- sageway léading from the middle ear to the back part of the throat) from a catarrhal inflammation of its mucous membrane. Then foliows a rarefaction of air in the middle ear, with consequent Intrusion of the drum, and an Impaction of the ossicular arch, with a grad- ual anchylosis of the ossicular articulations, and a progressive stenosis of the eustachian tubes.”” . An editorial in the Medical Brief, a journal published by and for physiclans and having the largest circulation of any strictly profes- sional medical publicaticn In the world, says (10-1901, p. 1517): “"Deatness is becoming increasingly common, and the frequent failure of local makes it necessary that we look for systemic conditions which may play a part in the con- tipuance of the trouble. t least three-fourths of the cases of deaf- ness are due to catarrbal disease involving the eustachian tube. “Simply cleansing diseased mucous surfaces, inflating the uniddle ear, injecting medica- ments, etc., will make no permanent impres- slon 50 long as constitutional conditions remain unchanged. “‘Persistent medication with careful attention to hygiene may yield an amelioratioff of the trouble, and as deafness is a very great afflic- tion, hampering the Individual in a business way and shutting out much enjoyment, even'a slight improvement Is well worth working for."* Stuart's Catarrh Tablets constitute the best, most reliable and economical internal or con- stitutional remedy for catarrh anywhere about the body.

I used sprays, inhalers and powders for months at a time with only slight relief and had no hope of cute. 1 had not the means to make a change of climate, .which seemed my only chance of cure, Last spring I read an account of some remarkable cures made by Stuart's Catarrh Tablets and promptly bought a 50 cent box frem my druggist and obtained such positive benefit from that one package that I continued to use them daily until I now consider myself entirely free from the disgusting annoyance of catarrh; my head is clear, my digestion all [ could ask and my hearing, which had begun to fail as a result of the catarrh, has greatly im- proved until I can hear as well as ever.” M.

BEATTLE, Dec. 22.—Dora Gregory of Los Angeles, a young girl whose attrac- tiveness lies in her wealth of auburn hair, was committed to the insane asylum here to-day. According to the story brought out during the examination her condition is due to the shock of discovering that her lover has returned to Los Angeles and married another. Miss Gregory came to Seattle several weeks ago from Victoria, B. C., and ob- tained employment in the home of a prominent family. She confided to the mistress of the house that she had ac- companied a young man north from Los Angeles, with the understanding that they were to be married. She said that he was to follow her to Seattle from Vic- teria, but that he did not, and she was afraid he was ill. The climax came a week or so ago, |when Miss Gregory was found lying on the floor clutching a letter, which an- nounced that her lover had returned to Los Angeles and got married. Miss Greg- ory became violently insane, and at last it was necessary to confine her in the County Jail. She talks incoherently about some one, but the name is never pro- nounced distinctly. Nothing came out in the proceedings to identify the young Los Angeles man who is sald to have come north with her. . — Tobin was during the week beginning February 9, 1908, for the murder of Captaln James B, Craft of Glencove, L.

Bosley made a motion that the matter be transferred to another de- partment of the court. During the recent campaign, which re- sulted in the defeat of Judge Dougherty, who was a candidate for re-election, one of the attorneys engaged in the Yordi lig- igation made a personal fight against him. On that account the suggestion was made that the case be transferred, as the Judge might have some feeling In the matter. Judge Dougherty denied that there was any ill-feeling on his part and sald that it was with deep regret and sense of sorrow would not entertain the motion to trans- fer the case, as he feit too far above the imputations made against him. He stated, howeyer, that he did not desire to hear any matters which could not be deters mined before the expiration of his term, and he accordingly set the hearing of the- motion for January 12.
