against Harry McMasters was contin
ued unt>l today on account of a de
fect in the warrant, but the Smiths
were held in the sum of $500 to the
January term of the superior court.
A crowd so large that the officers
were obliged to turn them away gath
ered around the door of the police sta
tion, eager to get a glimpse of the
prisoners and attend the hearing. On
account of the size of the crowd the
doors leading to the court room were
closed, and only witnesses, court olil
cers, attorneys and reporters were ad
mitted to the hearing. Ail the time the
trial was in progress, however, the
crowd of about 200 stood in front of the
main entrance to the court room in a
line that extended across the side
walk and out into the road.
Will C. Atkins appeared for Mr. and
Mrs. Smith when they were arraigned
and through their counsel the two
waived the reading- of t lie warrant and
pleaded not guilty. The warrant upon
which they were arraigned charged
them with breaking and entering the
store of the Gray-Hildreth Co. in Ran
dolph In response to the questioning of
County Attorney-elect Guy A. Hildreth
of Gardiner, who conducted the ease
for the State, Deputy Sheriff Martin
Burns and City Marshal Cutts testi
fied to searching the house of Mr. and
Mrs. Smith in Pittstou and finding the
entire list of goods stolen from the
Gray-Hildreth Co. store. They also
testified as to the subsequent capture
of the prisoners in Windsorville.
Frank I. Drake of the Gray-Hildreth
Co., testified that the goods found in
Pittston were the goods stolen from
the Gray-Hildreth Co. Manager Edgar
B. Fowles of the Gray-Hildreth Co.
store in Randolph testified to visiting
the niili after he was informed of the
break and finding the front door open.
He identified different articles of the
.stolon property.
John Krskine testified to seeing a
wagon Sunday morning in the yard of
tile house in Pittston occupied by Mr.
and Mrs. Smith. The Smiths kept no
horse. Saw the wagon when it was
hauled out of the river by Mr. Fovvles.
Melvin W. Reynolds testified to pass
ing a wagon near the Kennebec Cen
tral crossing in Randolph about 1.05 A.
M. Sunday. He saw two parties crouch
ing by the wagon. Thought one was a
woman. She had on a long coat. Depu
! ty Sheriff Frank H. Marshall testified
to assisting in the search for stolen
goods at Pittston. The goods were
found concealed over the shed.
County Attorney-elect Hildreth ask
ed that the court bind the Smiths over.
Judge Larrabee found probable cause
and bound both Mr. and Mrs. Smith
over in the sum of $500 to the January
term of the superior court. Attorney
Hildreth asked that the bail be made
$500 for Mrs. Smith and $1000 for Mr.
Smith.
George W. Heselton appeared for
Harrv McMasters, whose case was
called up at the close of the trial of
the Smiths. Deputy Sheriff Martin
Burns testified that he swore out p
warrant against McMasters and had
him arrested by Officer Tozier. McMas
ters had been in the custody of the
court since his arrest. Cross-examined
by Mr. Heselton. Deputy Sheriff Burns
admitted that he did not see Tozier
arrest McMasters, but was present
when he was locked into the cell.
Charles A. Wentworth testified that
McMasters told him Monday that he
hacked the wagon into the river and
helped Smith hide the stolen property.
County Attorney Hildreth asked that
McMasters be bound over in a rea
sonable sum to the January term of
the superior court. Attorney Heselton
stated that the warrant charged Mc
Masters with actual breaking and en
tering of (he store of the Gray-Hil
dreth Co. He submitted that the war
rant was of no value arn^ the return
errors ous as Deputy Sheriff Burns,
v ho made the return, did not arrest
the boy, but only saw him locked up.
Judge Larrabee ruled that the war
rant was invalid and continued the
case until today, in order that a new
warrant might be served upon McMas
ters. charging him with aiding and
abetting the burglary. He furnished
bonds in the sum of $200 for his ap
pearance at the continued bearing.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith were taken to the
county jail at Augusta at 4 P. M. by
Deputy Sheriff Burns and City Marshal
Cutts.

“I Attribute my
j ExU'eme Old
| Age to the Use
1 of Pe-ru-na."
Old Last Birthdav
Mr. Isaac Brock, 119 Year
Escaped th
Many Wi
Using Pe-ru
SAAO BROCK, a citizen of McLennan
county, Texas, has lived for 119 years.
For many years he resided at Bosque
alls, eighteen miles west of Waco, hut
ow lives with his son-iu-law at Valley
[ills, Texas.
Some time ago, by request, Uncle Isaac
une to Waco and sat for his picture,
olding in his hand a stick cut from the
rave of General Andrew Jackson.
Mr. Brock is a dignified old gentleman,
liowing few signs of decrepitude.
His family Bible is still preserved, and
j shows that the date of his birth was
u-itton 119 years ago.
11 Born before the United States were t
• formed. |
T Saw 22 presidents elected. J
11 Pe-ru.nu has protected him from 1
i t all sudden changes. T
11 Veteran of four wars. *
j Shod a horse when 99 years old.
! Always conquered the grip with
T Pe-ru-na.
11 Witness in a land suit at the age
! • of 110 years.
I; Believes Pe-ru-na the greatest j
| • remedy of the age for catarrhal j
i t troubles.
IX •peaking of his good health and n
treme old age, Mr. Brock says:
"After a man has lived in the world
as long as I bare, be ought to have
fonnd out a great many thing* by ex
perience. I think I have done so.
“One of the things / have font
out to my entire satisfaction Is tbs
proper thing for ailments that an
due directly to the effects of tbt
climate. For 119 years I have with,
stood the changeable climate of
the United States. <
"I have always been a very healthy
man, bnt, of course, subject to the affec
tions which are due to sodden changes
in the climate and temperature.
“As for Dr. Hartman's remedy,
Pe-ru-na, I have found It to be the
best, If not the only reliable remedy
for these affections, ft has bees
my standby for many years, and 1
attribute my good health and ex
treme old age to this remedy.
"It exactly meets all my require
ments. It protects me from the evil ef
fects of sudden changes; it gives me
strength; it keeps my blood in good cir
culation. I have come to rely upon It
almost entirely for the many littts
things for which I need medicine.
"When epidemics of la grippe first be
gan to make their appearance in this
country 1 was a sufferer from this dis
ease.
“I had several long sieges with
the grip. At first / did not know
that Pe-ru-na was a remedy lor
this disease. When I heard that
la grippe was epidemic catarrh
I tried Pe-ru-na for la grippe and
found it to be Just the thing. ”
In a later letter, Mr. Brock writes:
“I am well and feeling as well as I
have for years. I would not be without
Peruua.”
Tours truly,
A letter dated July 8,1906, written tor
Mr. Brock by hi* wife, Sarah J. Brock,
states:
“Last winter I had Just gotten
up out of a spell of sickness, when
I commenced taking Peruna /
think it improved my health very
much.”
In a postscript, Mrs. Brock adds: "He
receives a great many letters inquiring
about what Peruna will do. I do not
answer them all, as I think they can
! get a bottle and try it.”
