The Murderer of Jesse Jarre3 IShot Down In a Saloon How. Denver, Col., Feb. 17.—Robert Ford, who acquired widespread notoriety by killing Jesse James, the Missouri out law, in 1882, was shot and killed today In a saloon row at Creed, a new mining town,8ome distance from here. For some time Ford had been drifting ,^‘ 0 j among the mining camps. He had been _ • in many quarrels, but until the tragedy of today no serious results came from his fights. Before die cause of con sumption was known (that was only a few years ago) we did not know how Scott’s Emulsion of cod-liver oil did so much good in consumption and in the conditions that lead to consumption. The explanation is inter esting. We send it free in a book on careful living. VALUABLE PROPERTY FOB SA1.B.
