Asked McClatchie to show him, but he could not find them. Told him he (witness) knew wherethey were. Followed them up the creek, and they came out of the water. Asked them to give up what they had. Orum refused. Searched Dorm who had nothing. Then Crura was willing to be searched- Searched him partly, and found a fuse (produced) under his waistcoat. Asked him where the dyna mite was, and he said ' Don't you touch me again,' and would not submit to being searched further. Left, and Cram followed him three or four chains, and then said witness could search him. Told Crum he had thrown away the dynamite. Searched McClatchie, who had nothing on him. Witness left and the accused went away towards Lagmhor. By Mr Wilding —There was nothing but trout they could be after. The fuse was the kind used by poachers. It was a waterproof fuse. Knew Dorm and Crum had poached before. None of them had licenses, but McClatchie took one out the following morning. Two or three days after, and before the information waß laid, McClat chie asked witness to let him out of it. Told him he would have to report him to the Society for attempting to take trout. He did not deny doing it. [After a lengthy hearing both cases were dismissed.]

TBE ASHBOiiTUN GUARDIAN: THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1895.



Persons who sympathise with the afflicted will rejoice wi'h D. E. Carr of 1235Harrison street, Kansas City. He is an old sufferer from inflammatory rheumatism, but ha 3 not heretofore been troubled in this climate. Last winter he went up into Wisconsin, and in consequence has had another attack. llt came upon me again very acute and severe,' he said. 'My joints swelled and became infltmed ; foreto touch or almost to look at. Upon the urgent request of my mother-in law 1 tried Ctiamberlain's Pain Balm to re duce the swelling, and ca3e the pain, and to my agreeable surprise, it. did both. I have used three fifty-cent bottles and believe it to be the finest thing for rheumatism, pains and swellings extant. For sale by Ashburton / Drug Company.
