CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind., Jan. 6.— ‘While_ assisting in the digging of the grave of James Ford, who died from a {blow on the head, Harry Craig of Crawfordsville was arrested at Dar- llnglon vesterday and lodged in Jjail, charged with the murder. Ford was struck two weeks ago. The trouble grew out of Craig's alleged at- | tentions to Mrs. Ford while a boarder at the Ford home and he was ordered from the house by the husband. They fought and Craig struck Ford with a club, serious Craig devoted all his time in taking care of the man’'s family and when he learned his victim was dead he started to Darlington with a son of the dead man to have a grave in readi- ness.

He is now In Oroville. That the train was purposely wrecked | now seems certain. While going thirty miles an hour the train struck an open switch at Ramirez and ran on to a short spur, plowed through an earthen embankment at the end and settled in the soft ground beyond. A wreoking crew spent more than half a day get- ting the engine and the mail and ex- | press cars back upon the ralls. But two coaches of the train remained on the track. The accident occurred about 10 o'clock and it was daylight before the passengers were landed in Oroville by a special train run from there to the wreck. An examination of the switch showed that the lock had been broken off. The wreckers probably expected eater disaster when the engine col- lided with the bulkhead and hoped to profit by looting the cars. was soft, however, and the engine tore through without being overturned and with little jar to the passengers. Engineer Ketchum saw the open switch from the cab window, but was too close to stop. The ground | Constable Rellly of | Oroville was on the train and arrested | a tramp and took him to Oroville, but as the trainmen knew he had been rid- ing under one .of the cars of the | wrecked train he was discharged. | DISMISSED TEACHER OVERLOOKS A POINT Fails to Demand Restoration j of Certificate Before Filing Suit SANTA ROSA, Jan. 6.—Judge A.

Nearly everybody knows that char- | coal 1s the safest and most efficient dis- | infectant and purifier in nature, but few realize its value when taken into the human system for the same cleans- ing purpose. Charcoal is a remedy that the more you take of it' the better; it 1s not a drug at all, but simply absorbs the gases and impurities always present in the stomach and intestines and carries them out of the system. Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking or after eating onions and other odorous vegetables. Charcoal effectually clears and im- | proves the complexion, it whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic. It absorbs the Injurious gases which collect in the stomach and bowels;”it disinfects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh, All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another, but probably the best charcoal and the most for the money s in Stuart’s Charcoal Lozengés; they are composed of the finest powdered Willow charcoal and other harmless antiseptics, in tablet form or rather in the form of large, pleasant-tasting lozenges, the charcoal being mixed with honey. The daily use of these lozenges will soon tell in o much improved condition of the general health, better complex- ion, sweeter breath and purer blood; and the beauty of it is, that no possible harm can result from their continued use, but, on the contrary, great benefit. A Buffalo physician in speaking of the benefits of charcoal says: “I adviss Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all pa- tients suffering from gas in stomach and bowels, and to clear the complex- ion and purify the breath, mouth ana throat; I also believe the liver is great- 1y benefited by the daily use of them; they cost but twenty-five cents a box at drug stores, and although in some sense & patent preparation, yet I belleve I get more and better charcoal in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges than in any of u:e in- was | | ordinary charcoal tablets.” AROUSE WRATH Bl oo tnl Attorney and Engineer of Se- bastopol Criticised for Ad- ding to Town’s Expenses L Bpecial Dispatch to The Call. SEBASTOPOL, Jan. 6.—The taxpayers and residents of this city are greatly worked up over what appears to be exor- bitant charges by City Atforney Frank L. Lippitt for legal services in connection with the voting of bonds for municipal improvements and by Contractor R. C. Mattingly for extras in connection with the installation of & sewer system. City Engineer Frost also comes in for a share of the wrath of his constituents for fur- nishing the Board of Trustees with esti- mates which left a loophole for such large opportunities for extras. It is alleged that City Attorney Lippitt's representative assured the board that the legal services for the bond election would not be more than $300. The Trustees have allowed a bill for $943 25. The fact that the attorney allowed the election to be held before the ordinance became effective, thus necessitating another election, for which he charges for additional legal ser- vices, also arouses severe criticism. The claim of Contractor Mattingly for $2242 for “extras” has also raised a storm around the ears of City BEngineer Frost, who made the specifications. The zon- tractor's bld was $1295 less than that of the next lowest bidder, but his first bill for extras exceeds this amount by $47. He charged $14 a cublc yard for concrete work which other gontractors agreed to do for $10, and 76 cents for planking oth- ers agreed to lay for 10 cents a foot. The difference in the prices charged by the contractor for his first lot of extras and the bids submitted by others for the same work is $133, or $41 more than the next lowest bid, and the work is yet far from being completed, DOG AND MASTER NOT Gas FEnds Life of Retired Merchant and His Lit- tle Pet.

George Gibbs, probably one of the best known saloon men in this part of the State, has been acquitted of the charge that he violated the law, although the District Attorney proved that Gibbs’ place was within the limit and that he had sold liquor. The jury, after fifteen minutes’ deliberation. returned a verdict of not guilty. Benjamin has issued a statement in which he charges collusion between the defendant and the jury. He declares that of the thirty talismen summoned only ten were tax- payers: that Constable Jackson, who served the summons, is a bartender in | & saloon owned by Gibbs and that Jack- son’s deputy, E. Naramore, who served the summons on Gibbs, did so while riding In an automobile with the de- fendant.
