TO INVESTIGATE SMUGGLING Federal Officer! to Pry Into Attempt to Help Nolen Break Jail. CIRCUMSTANCES ARE PECULIAR Snnndk I ncrt llhl thnt I'hcUhko nf rtlrle Could lie l'nlleil I n on Light ntriu Ovrr Sharp I.rdare if Hock, If an Investigation which the govern ment has started Is successfully carried out there will be a stop to tho smuggllnc of saws, guns, explosives nnd other thins Into tho county jail. An Mtempt Is now being mado to try and discover by What means certain articles were smuggled Into the hands of Dings Nolcn while he was confined In the county basttle, on the top floor of the now county building. During the examining of witnesses In tho trial of Nolen several Inmates of the county Jail told of the contemplated at tempt of Nolen to escape from that Insti tution nnd of his receiving a package containing twelvo steel saws, a holder to which the sawa are attached; a gun, oil and nitroglycerin. Many of the Inmates when put on the stand were unable to tell Just how the package was smuggled to Nolen. But ono witness, Frank Moyer, who was lo cated In the same cage with Nolen, said tho packago was pulled up from the ground and Into the toilet room on the top floor. Tho talc of tho pulling of the package tied to an ordinary cord up to the top floor did not nound credible to tho gov ernment detectives and Inspectors and ac cordingly an Investigation was started immediately after the trial. The reason for tho doubt regarding Moyer's story is due to the fact that a ledgo of rough ' stone extends out from tho county build- ' Irig Just below the windows of the Jail. 1 In pulling up a package over this ledge, j It seems to the federal officers, the cord ' would undoubtedly bo novored. On Just what theory tho government of ficers are at present working Is, of course, unknown. It whs hinted, however, that tho nsslstancc of employes on the top floor of the county building was needed In order to smuggla packages Into tho Jail. Postofflce Inspector Ranger and Secret Bervice Agent Hugh Mills visited a local hardwaro man, who, It Is alleged, sold the wiwa and holder that ere conveyed to Nolen. The government provides a stiff pen alty for nnyono who assists In the es cape of federal prisoners or who tamper with them while they are under arrest. Simple Hone Raedy (or Kiineys and Blagder A simple nnd easy way to oure weak, deranged kidneys or bladder Is to use the following formula: Get six ounces good pure gin and add tq It one-halt ounco Murax Compound and one-half ounco fluid extrnct. Buchu. Take one to two tcaspoonfuls of this mixture after each meal and at bed time. Nearly all good druggists have these Ingredients. Anyone can mix. Ono should bo sure to get good pure gin. also the genuine Murax Com pound, which cornea only In a scaled woocten package, as any substitute will not give tho destred results. Weak kidneys or bladder should be given attention as soon as any of the well-known symptoms nro noticed. Ne glect In the matter Is dangerous, as the serious forms, Brlght's, dlsoaau, chronic rheumatism or dread diabetes, may do velop. These can be avoided If the above simple mixture Is UBcd before complica tions set In. Advertisement.
