. threw himself on the ground and re-
mained there fifteen minutes.
Bank Hard to Climb.
It was only by forming a human
. chain that the corone's jury and the
other members of the party could
. . scale the steep incline, back about
.forty feet from the track, where the
-. body was found.
The jurymen. Deputy County Pi
atti and the sheriffs workers could
not conceive how a man, no matter
. . how strong he was, could carry a
woman's body to the spot from the
track. The early police theory was
that Mrs. Nethaway, walking along
the railroad track on her way to meet
her husband at Brigg's Crossing, was

the not where her body was found
This theory is now exploded and the
. . sheriff's sleuths believe she got to the
spot by another route, Wtty she ever
went there is the next phase or the
mystery to clear up.
Goes Over Until Tuesday.
The coroner's inquest was resumed
at ; lnou o clock and after .two. wt
nesses were examined was set over
uniil Tuesday morning. .' ;
A sensation was sprung in the court
..-..nowhere the inquest is being held
"-xUien" Nethaway' leaped to7 his feet
during the testimony of T. A. Ed
wards, a neighbor, and challenged his
veracity as to certain movements and
incidents on the afternoon of the
t murder.
Edwards, a farmer, was one. of the
men who joined w the man hunt
Sunday. ' He also discovered several
important clues and investigated the
murder district on the afternoon of
the crime. '
He testified he could find no evi
dence that a body had been dragged
, up the hillside. Edwards found Mrs.
Nethawav's hat' below the body,
toward the railroad track, and t knife
the blade on the, other side of the
1 spot. . , ,
This morning he wbund an, addi
tional piece of evidence in the shape
of a small piece of white cloth. This
piece of cloth, which, sp far as can
be learned, was not a part of the mur
dered woman'a garments, was. found
about half way from the railroad
track to where the body laid.
Relation! Not of Best.
Edwards said he had known the
Nethaways about one year. He tes
tified he did not believe their domes
tic relations were pleasant.
He told the jury he had heard them
quarreling and. had heard Nethaway
swear at his wife.
"I- have heard; him use utrofig
language toward her because she
didn't open the gate into the yard soon
' enough. It was language a' man
should not use toward his wife. I've
heard him yell at her' in a strong
way." '

as evidence at the inquest.

actions after the murder, He said the
real estate man was moaning and re

- Germany Will Force Poles
To Battle Against Allies
Amsterdam, Aug..Jl.-The central
pqwers have decided to pju Polish
troops in ihe field against the entente,
'according' to a dispatch from Vienna,
received here today, the move being
prompted by the vigorous afllied at
tacks. The dispatch adds: '
"Negotiations between Germany and
Austria-Hungary for the establishment
of a Polilh government are approach
ing a conclusion' and it is expected
that within a short period institu
tion! will be established whereby the
country will re-enter the list of inde
pendent states."
The Polish troops referred to are
' doubtless those raised in Russian Po
land, .after it had been conquered by
the. eentr'al powers, and the recruiting
of a so-called Polish army begun. Po
lish enlistments jn this force are un
' derstood to have been1 limited and
recently sor of the units resigned
rather'than be put Into the field under
Austro-Oerman command. t"

a elance at the m?n. to read their
war record. For a tiny red and whitcQ
silk bow pinned on the chest indicates
that the wearer has been wounded
in action. One chevron on the arm
means that the man has spent one
year in the trenches. Lyery addi

spent six months additional in the
trenches. Colonel James Martin of
the party wears four chevrons on the
left arm.
Mark of Long Service.
"That means two and one-half years
in the trenches," he explained. "Of
course I might have been in longer.
but I was in the hospital five months."
Colonel Martin laughed at the re
ports that have come out relative to
the shortage of men in France.
iou see they kill us so manv
times," he explained. "As for me, I
have been killed many, many times.
according to the German report, and
yet, here I am," and he pushed out
his palms in the characteristic French
way. "Of course, I had my leg hurt,
the bones broken and all that, and
you see I have to carry a stick, but
that is nothing. I am not killed.
Praises American Troops.
Colonel Martin Draised the oer-
sonnel of the American troops. "I
saw General Pershing just before I
left France, and visited the Ameri
can camp. The American soldiers
are training hard and are verv anxious
to learn all about the methods. Of
course tbey cannot understand our
language. But it is always said that
the French talk with their hands. n.
of course, in the sign lamruaire the
American soldiers understand our
men very well. They get. along fine
with the French troops, too, for they
realize that they are all there for a
common purpose." , , . ;

Chiropractic
Health Talks
(BY DR. BURHORN.)
Paralysis is aa affection charac
terized by loss of muscular power
or by the sense of touch, taste or
smell becoming impaired from in
jury fo a nerve by accident or
disease. ' '
' .The disease is generally due to
simple lack of nerve force or pow
er. This may come from inter
ference with the blood supply of
the nerve centers, as in hysterical
palsy and reflex paralysis.
1 Whatever destroys or impairs
the natural structure of nervous
matter, or whatever interferes ma
terially with the conducting power
of nerve fiber, or the generating
power to nerve centers, will pro
duce paralysis, the extent of which
will depend upon the amount of
nervous matter affected.
Since it is possible for the ver
tebra to become slightly displaced,
due to strains, jars, 'wrenches,
falls, blows', muscular contraction,
poisons, etc., thereby pinching the
nerves passing between the ver
tebra and restricting or obstruct
ing the nerve force from the
brain to the organs or tissues
this is the REAL CAUSE of
disease.
If you are sick or, ailing, have a
trouble of long standing, I will be
pleased to give you a thorough free
examination, no obligation on your
part. I can locate the primary
cause of your trouble in 95 per
cent of the diseases. Hundreds of
people have come to me knowing
that Chiropractic adjustments have

"At the beginning of the war we
had but 300 large caliber guns." he
said. "Now we have 6.000 of these.
Today we have factories capable of
turning out' 230,000 75-centimeter
shells a day.
"And let not yourselves be im
pressed by the stories you hear about
France being bled to death. We have
suffered great losses ond made great
sacrifices of the lives of brave men,
but we have easily 3,000,000 men un

number for a long time to come. Seventy-seven

a big battle I ws walking over the
field, stepping from one shell hole
to the other. I found a shell hole
where some German- machine guns
had .been, operating.- I looked in and
saw three Germans dead. The up
per parts of their bodies wre entirely
blown -away, but each had his leg
tied to a machine gun so that he could
not have retreated if he had wished.
"I had to believe it then, for I saw
it with these two eyes. That is the
policy of the Germans. Thy treat
their men like tlaves and they wanted
to treat other nations like slaves."
