“A True Kentuckian.” Owing
to the variety of attractions for
that evening the house was not a
large one, but those in attend

performance.
Tonight they will produce Tols

traction is guaranteed by Mana

high class and worthy of patron
one. The play itself should be
an incentive to turn out and the
Taylor company of fourteen peo

IN ROLE OF DETECTIVE
Cost Young Cotnam His Life,
Says Sheriff Williams and
May Result in the Death
of His Brother.
Sheriff R. L. Williams was
among the Hot Springs citizens
in the capital city Thursday, says
the Little Rock Gazette. He
stated that the j^thdrities have
been unable to gain any clue
concerning the assassination of
the Cotnam brothers in Marble
township, Garland county, Iasi
Tuesday. After an investigatioi:
Sheriff Williams adheres to the
theory that the shooting down of
the two brothers was due to ani
mosities aroused by the efforts ol
one of the Cotnam s to enact the
v*1 r. Ru mocmc nV c
badge procured from one of the
numerous metropolitan detective
agencies that advertise for men
to act as their representatives,
Cotnam sought to establish a rep
utation as a sleuth. His conduct
evidently made enemies for him,
but the officers are at a loss tc
fasten responsibility for the fata'
shots fired from ambush last Tues
day which ended the life of one
Cotnam and may result in a
double tragedy, as the other
Cotnam is not expected [to live.
It is said that the latter has mace
a statement in which he expresse s
the belief that a certain man is
the assassin, but he adds that he
could not see the man that fired
upon him and his brother, as the
bullets came from under cover.
There is no evidence as yet
upon which an arrest can be
made and it seems likely that
the tragedy will never be ac
counted for. One theory is
that the killing may have been
done by a man who is a fugitive
from another state, but this is a
mere suspicion, as it will prob
ably develop that Cotnam made
more than one enemy by his as
duity in the role of detective.
One of Sheriff Williams’ deputies
went to the scene of the assas
sination and made an investiga
tion, which failed to develop
enough facts to form the basis
of an arrest. In time the ques
tion of guilt may be solved, but
at present the affair may be set
down as one of those mysterious
tragedies in the hills that baffle
;he skill of the authorities.

Bad blood shows itself in a thousand familiar ways.

a general tired-out feeling are among the more common
results of impure blood. Johnston’s Tonic Capsules purify
and enrich the blood.
Rhematism, gout, eczema, catarrh, anemia, scurvy, scrofula, etc.,

ient and satisfactory medicine that can be taken to purify and enrich the blood.
They unload it of every impurity and at the same time so promote the nutritive
functions as to abundantly supply it with new, rich and self-sustaining
qualities. They make the blood pure and rich, and through pure blood the
bodily structures come right because they depend on the blood for nourish
, ment and renewal.
For over 40 years Johnston’s Tonic Capsules have been held in high
esteem as a most reliable and satisfactory remedy for scrofula, rheumatism,
eczema, old sores, painful swellings, kernels and enlarged glands, catarrh,
scurvy, boils, liver complaint, dyspepsia, jaundice, constipation, kidney
troubles and a long list of common ails and ills.
We have great confidence in this medicine, a confidence born of many
years’experience with it, and we make the following extraordinary offer;
