IS OWI-NS A BIGAMIST?

Tiiliii in time,
even Consumption yields to the
wonderful effects of Dr. Pierce’s
Golden Medical Discovery. It
won’t make new lungs—hut it will
make diseased ones healthy when
nothing else will. There’s reason
for it, too. Consumption is Lung-
scrofula. For every form of scrof
ula, and all blood-taints, the “Dis
covery ” is a positive cure. It’s
the most potent strength - restorer,
blood - cleanser, and flesh - builder
known to medical science. For
Weak Lungs, Spitting of Wood,
Bronchitis, Asthma, Catarrh, and
all lingering Coughs, it’s an une
qualed remedy. It’s a guaranteed
one. If it doesn’t benefit or cure,
you have your money back. You’ve
everything to gain from it—nothing
to lose.
It’s especially potent in curing
Tetter, Salt-rheum, Eczema, Erysip
elas, Boils, Carbuncles, Sore Eyes,
Goitre, or Tide k Neck, and Enlarged
Glands, Tumors and Swellings.
Great Eating Ulcers rapidly heal
under its benign influence.
Sam owens, a young man, is badly
wanted. Officers have received instruc
tions to be on the lookout for him, but
so far no trace of him has been found.
He is charged with being a bigamist,

In January, iSffO, Owens
Godfrey to Cordelo nnd went
the shop of Mr. C. A. Steven:
:t sjdendid man and was all tl
sidered of good character- I
posed lie was a bachelor, but last sum
mer Marshal Morris, of Cordclc, receiv
ed a letter from a lady living at Godfrey,
stating that her husband had deserted
her and that he was then in Cordelc.
This was not Owens’ wife, but the let
ter went on to state that Owens also had
a wi.'e and four children living at God
frey, and that lie, too, had deserted his
family.
As no one was particularly interested
in the matter nothing was done with it
and nothing further was thought of it.
Owens continued on at his work
and behaved himself well and made
friends. •
During last summer there moved to j and THEDFORD'S / .ACK- DRAUGHT are

tablishmcnt with Owens and soon the
two became bosom friends.
Two months ago Morton’s sister, Miss
Leila, a young Duly about ‘JO years of
age, came to visit him, and from the
first Owens began paying her attentions.
A love match was soon the result, and
then a marriage engagement. The day
of the marriage was set and on last
Tuesday Mis. Morton became Owen’s
wife.
It is said the marriage was very pri
vate. At any rate it was not generally
known until next day, and then Owens
and his bride had left for their new
home, either in Columbus or Texas.
The brother then, for the first time,
heard a rumor that Owens had a wife
living in Godfrey.
He at once wired to Godfrey, and in
reply received a telegram from Mrs.
Owens No. 1, giving all the information
wanted.
The matter was immediately made
public and si nee then every eff ort has
been made to secure his arrest.
