log house on It, In which he resided to the
time of hla death, the. last of the original
log houses In the County to be used as a

stirring fights with the Indians, but always
managed to get his wagona through some
way. A widow, one eon, John Hager of
Jamestown, and one daughter, Mra. Mills
of Chadron, survive him.

The testimony of Mr. Hall waa substan-

this witness (hat the telephone in the
Llllle home waa not in working condition
that morning and that It waa necessary' to
go to Mr. Hall's livery barn to call Dr.

she wss downstairs. After we four girls

Mrs. Hall dressed and we all went back
to Mr. Llllle's. The door leading from the
hall Into- the bedroom occupied by Mae
and Edna waa alwaya kept open by a book
lying against It. On the morning of the
murder It waa shut. It would swing shut
If there was not something agatnat it.
Do not remember If the door waa shut the

' ONLY A SUOaESTION.
Bat It Haa Proven of Interest aad
Valao to Thoasaada.
Common sense would suggest that If one
wishes to become fleshy and plump It can
only results from the food we es and di
gest, and that food ahousl ha ilhnminxii.
or flesh-forming food, like eggs, beefsteak
v. .... ... .aor wurua, tne aina or
food that make flesh are the fooda which
form the greater part of our dally bills of
fare.
But the trouble It that while we eat
enough, and generally too much, the stom
ach, from abuse and overwork, doea not
properly digest and assimilate It. which la
the reason so many people remain thin and
unaerweigm; the digestive organs do not
completely digest the flesh-forming beer
steak and eggs and similar wholesome
food.
There are thousands of such, who are
real,y confirmed dyspeptics, although they
may have no partHular pain or Incon
venience from, their atomachi.
If auch persons weuld lay their prejudices
aside and make a regular practice of taking
after each meal one or two of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, the food would bs
quickly and thoroughly digested, because
these tablets contain the natural- peptones?
and diastase which every weak stomach
lacka, and by aupplylng this wsnt ths
stomach Is soon enabled to regain Ita
natural tone and vigor.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets digest every
form of flesh-fcrmlng food, meat, egga,
bread and potatoes, and thla la the reason
they so quUkly build up. strengthen and
lnvlyorate thin, dyspeptic men, women and
children.
Invalids and children, even the most deli
cate, use them with marked bmeflt. as
they contain no strong, irritating drugt. no
cathartic nor any harmful Ingredient. . ,
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tsblets is the most
uccesaful and widely known of any rem
edy for stomach trvJtlea. beue It Is the
most reasonable and s':K-n'IBc of modern
medicines.
Stuart's Dya.-tpsls Tsb'ets are Bold bv
every druggist to. ths Vnlted States std
Canada, aa well as In Crest Brttsln, at CO
cents for complete treatment.
Nothing further la required to core any
atomach trouble or to make thin, nerviua
dyspeptic people strong, plump sod wslL
the night before the shorting. Mr. Llllle
went first We all followed. N I heard the
first shot. This woke ma up. I then heard
the second ahot. I heard nothing between,
the two shots. After the second shot I
heard Mrs. ll!le aoream and aay: 'Oh!'
From the sound of her voice she waa prob
ably in the hall. Us girls got up and went
Iqtoothe 'wall. .Mae went to the door of
Mr. Llllle's room. Mrs. Llllle was not
there. Us girls went downstairs and Into
the dining room and went over to Bert
Hall'e."
The cross-examination of the laat two
witnesses only elicited the fact that there
waa no carpet on the staira.
Child oa tho Staad.
Edna, the 12-year-old daughter, was the
next witness. he said: "Harvey Llllle
was my father. On the night of October
23 I slept with Mae Llllle in the, north
east bedroom. 'Between S and ('o'clock
the next morning I heard mamma scresm.
I think she said there was a man la their
room and that he had fired a ahot. I went

I took hold of his ear and shook him. I
did not shake him very hard. I took hold
of his right ear and called to him. Mamma
was not In the room. Someone came to
the door with a light. I do not know who
it was. 1 was standing by the bed. The
next time I saw mamma I think was whn

left without sttention until she died.

later exhuming It; placed It on a haystack
and set the pile on fire. - , .
Mrs. Cummlngs, waa asked why she told
the officers about the murder and replied
that before the body was burned Cummins

the attorney. ,
"He ought to bs htfng," she shouted.
"Yon were anxious to protect him than,
were you nott" ,
