In the struggle that followed the rob ber discharged his weapon, the bullet going under Sullivan's arm and doing him no hurt. The men struggled thru the doorway into the road, Sullivan finally compelling the robber to drop his gun.

D.Several Important cases ?Te..to. a*Land the regular October of bf. rie united States court, which will convene in Sioux FaUs tomorrow. The most important case for alleged land frauds will be that against Thomas H. Ayers, private secretary to Andrew B. Lee. when the latter was governor of South Dakota: John I. Newell. John F. McGuire and Howard A. Binford of Pierre. The four and Carl Pitan. a stockman, were jointly indicted at the April term of federal court in Sioux Falls on the charge of engaging in a conspiracy to defraud the government out of large tracts of land In Stanley county, west of the Missouri river. The Indictment against the four de fendants contains twenty-three counts, and Is one of the most voluminous instruments of its kind ever returned by a federal grand Jury in South Dakota. The defendants were arraigned at tbe AprU term, and all, except Pltan. entered pleas of not guilty. Pitan pleaded guilty and was sentenced to one year in the Hughes county jail at Pierre and fined $1,000. He is now aerviqg his term. Another case of some Importance is that against General Agent Ahman of the Sioux Falls branch of the Val Blati Brewing company, who at the Deadwood term of United States court In September, was indicted on the charge of shipping to a saloonman at Flandreau a keg of beer to which the internal revenue stamp was not affixed. When first arrested he was taken before a United States commissioner for his preliminary examination and the case against him was there dismissed. Not satisfied, the United States authorities took the case directly to the grand jury, .with tbe result that an indictment was retarhedS and' Mr. Ahman will be compelled to stand i$ml.- Among the other cases: to he tried, will be htat. of Fred Gibbons, a former member of the Sioux City police department, who Is charged with having sold Honor In Udion county, South Dakota, near Sioux City, without having paid the special government tax, and the case of John Colonic, under indictment for the theft of stock from the Rosebud Indian reservation. Joseph Mertdao. a member of the Assyrian colony In Sioux Falls, fwill be tried en the charge of passing counterfeit money, He will base his defense on the ground that he received the counterfeit dollar In, a saloon at Pipestone, Minn., and that after, being informed that lt was counterfeit be by mistake tendered lt in payment of his livery bill. v, CASTOR IA For Infanti and Chlldrea.

Carved from Hard Basalt Rock and Representing an Animal Half Sheep and Half Dog, It Was Found Twenty five Feet Below the Surface by Rail way Graders, Special to The Journal. Spokane, Wash., Oct. 15.Workmen* engaged in excavating for a railroad near Underwoo, Wash., recently uncovered a stone image which is believed to be the relic of a race antedating the Indians. The image was uncovered at a depth of over twenty-five feet, and was embed ded in eighteen feet of gravel from the top of which had been removed several feet of rock. In appearance the image resembles an animal, half sheep and half dog, with the horns of the former and the features of the latter. The figure has been carved out of the hard basalt rock found along the Columbia river and Is as hard as iron. In height the figure is about two feet, but originally probably was taller, as it evi dently has been broken off at the bottom. While some' think that the image is the work of Indians who formerly camped in great num bers near the spot where it was found, geolo gists and others who have examined it say that its antiquity is so great that it undoubtedly an tedates the Indians, and the fact that it is made of stone Is also an indication that it is not of Indian workmanship, as the figures made by them were, without exception, carved from wood. It is believed that the figure was that of a god worshiped by some prehistoric tribe which in habited this region. FERGUS FALLS HAS REAL ISSUE City Is Stirred to Its Depths Over a Sidewalk Controversy. FERGUS FALLS, MINN.A sidewalk con troversy that has stirred the city to Its depths is in progress here, the question at issue be ing whether a certain walk shall be laid eight feet from the property line, as requested by the residents, or one foot from the line, in accordance with an ordinance. The matter has been before the council In various forms for two years, and a majority of the aldermen recently adopted an amendment to the ordi nance permitting the construction of the walk on the line asked by the residents. The mayor vetoed the amendment, and a force of men started to build the walk under police pro tection. Tbe residents appealed to the district court and served an injunction today that brought the work to a standstill. A hearing will be had Oct. 23, the residents attacking the accuracy of the survey. Rev. K. Winberg, pastor of the Norwegian Methodist Episcopal church of this city, left yesterday for West Duluth to assume the pas torate of a church there, and Rev. C. 0. Christianson of the West Duluth church ar rived today to become pastor of the Fergus Falls church. Frank Klinkner was brought in from Bluffton and tried in the justice court here yesterday on the charge of obstructing a public ditch. He was found guilty and fined $5 and costs, amounting In all to ?96 50, or sentenced to serve sixty days in jail. He paid the fine.

None Better Made 5&)lw^ri,^JJ W **JLs During the trial of the libel suit against the above mentioned publishers, Dr. Lee H.

Have you seen the statement more recently made by Mr. Bok, the Editor of that magazine that his company "has not paid a single penny to Dr. R. V. Pierce's concern in settlement of any suit"? ^^p wish you to know the truth. The facts are these iilfl Four days after the article in May 1904, appeared, Dr. Pierce'i company sued The Ladies' Home Journal publishers for libel. The trial was had in April last. Dr. Pierce proved that the attack made by The Ladies' Home Journal was false. He provedihat Dr. Pierce's, Fa- vorite Prescription does ?tot, and never did contain either alcohol or any of the injurious drugs which The Ladies' Hbme Journal falsely stated it did contain. This was so conclusively shown that the attorneys for The Ladies' Home Journal were forced to admit it. The jury rendered a verdict against The Ladies' Home Journal in favor of Dr. Pierce's company for $16,000.00. This was a complete vindication of Doctors Pierce and his "Favorite Prescription." It judicially established that the libel was wholly false, and without any-justification. Dr. Pierce, however, believed that his company is justly entitled! to a verdict for a much larger sum. Through his attorneys he has,] therefore, applied to the court for a new trial of the case. For this reason, and for this reasQn alone, has The Ladies' Home Journal not yet paid "a single penny to Dr. R. V. Pierce's concern." Dr. Pierce has simply chosen not to collect the judgment until the motion, for a new trial has been decided. In the light of these facts does not this boastful statement that I "has not paid a single penny to Dr. R. V. Pierce's concern look like a cheap and common bluff, a half truth intended to mislead you Don't expect to get the brightest boy in Minneapolis by advertising "Boy Wanted."
