' : New Liquid
A

Most Astonishing
^ Results.
P A news message from Port Wayne,
ft Ind., says that citj is now in a torft
moil over many astonishing cures that
r * are being effected by the strange new
Uqoid, Boot Juice, which has been
r creating a sensation in Atlanta for the
past few weeks.
Mrs. J. Schondell, who lives at 610
I Madison St, Fort Wayne, had suffered
f for years with rheumatism which hecame
so bad that she was helpless.
She had tried doctors and patent medicines
without results and had about
given up hope when the wonderful
power qf the famous Boot Juice treatv
ment became known.
The startling story of her recovery
is best told in her own words, taken
from a signed statement which she
> recently gave out. Regarding her case
^ Mrs. Scbondell saj9: "I was unable
1 to move and had to be carried from
* one place.to another. After trying
doctors and medicines without success
(I began nsing the Roog Juice and can
'say t^at when I had taken two bottles
Xwas able to walk without assistance
and am now once more taking care of
my honsehold duties.. The medicine
saved my life."
Atlanta Still Excited.
{Atlanta people continue to report
many strange and wonderful benefits
that are following the use of the new
Root Juice medicine in that city.
? Persons who suffered from indigestion,
loss of appetite, pains, bloating
and distress after eating, constipation
biDionsness and headaches say that a
few doses correct the trouble. The
appetite increases and the stomach
|8eem8 able to digest anytmng.
Mrs. Andrew Barney, residing at 624
^Decatur St., who has been a sufferer
from stomach, liver and kidney trouble
for over two years, in a statement
I issued for publication said: "I sufferf
ed dreadfully from indigestion, belching,
headaches and painsiri the small
of my back. At times I had no appetite
and at other times I could not
sleep, I was nervous, irritable and
worrysome and felt all ran down. I
used the new Boot Juice medicine ons
ly two weeks but already fee) a great
deal better. My indigestion is nearly
gohe, I can eat almost anything and
for the first time in two years 1 sleep
fine. Before taking this Boot Juice
treatment I tried six different medicines
and four doctors."
I The medicine seems to possess strange
^Rpower in relieving disorders of the
stomach, liver and kidneys and many
sufferers from theee maladies have r^ Jported
complete cures.
ft In view of th wonderful benefits beP
ing derived from its use by persons in
other places it would seem advisable
for all home people who seek health
to at least give it a thorough test.

Outlaws Kill Officials
in Court Room.
HiUsville, Ya.., March 14.?A troop '
of mountain outlaws rode down out of
the Blue Ridge today 'to the Carroll
couuty court In use here and assassinated
the judge upon the bench, the
prosecutor before the bar, and the
sheriff at the door, while sentence
was. being pronounced upon Floyd
Allen, one of their number.
When the crack of the rifles died
away only one member of t e human
fabric of the court?Dezter Goad,
clerk of court?was alive and he had
been wounded. One of the jurors received
wounds from which he died a
short while afterwards, while other
members of ihe panel were more or
Ie9s seriously injured, and a l?-yearold
girl, a witness, was killed by one
of the outlaws' bullets.
Gov. Mann has offered a $3,000 reward
for tne capture of the assassins
and holds State troops under arms for
orders at Lynchburg and Roanoke.
The shooting terrorized Hillsville to
the point of paralysis. There was not
a man to give an order or organize a
pursuit. Citizens fled to places of
safety and mothers gathered up their
children while the assassins rode out
of town.
Judge Thornton L. Mas9ie had risen
from his chair a9 the bullets struck
him and fell dead across his\ desk.
William Fostei, commonwealth's attorney,
with half a dozen bullets in his
brain, crumpled down to the floor.
Sheriff Lewis Webb was shot and
killed as he reached for his revolver
and sprang forward. Bullets grazed
Goad and in the confusion he was reported
killed. Jurors who had been
slightly wounded were reported dead
and by that indefinable method of
communication which prevails in the
woodland country reports of a wholesale
slaughter were spread to the
countryside.
Floyd Allen was before the bar this
morning, convicted of taking a prisoner
from a deputy sheriff. Allen had
struck the sheriff over the head "with
the butt of a rifle and the prisoner escaped.
Sheriff Webb had gone up
into the mountains and taken Allen,
despite dire warnings of what such a
venture might mean. Attorney Fos- j
ter hafi prosecuted fearlessly and a
mountaineer jury gathered from the
inland section, for no man in Carroll
county cared to sit on the trial of an
AUen, had convicted him.
This morning the sentence of Allen
attracted an unusually large gathering
to the quaint old red brick court
house, which stands cn a green square
well in the centre of the village.
Those who could not get iiito the small
tfciompeerel through the windows,
opened to the first days of spring.
Just as Allen was about to be called
up for sentence his two brothers, Sid
ney and Jack, at the head of a troop
of about 20 mountaineers, road up to
the court house.
The brothers and their companions,
ome carrying rifles and others armed
with revolvers, crowded into the small
court room ani stood behind the rail
f
and about the doors. Floyd Allen,
aged 50, tall and gaunt, much the familiar
type of mountaineer, was in the
dock.
Judge Massie mounted the bench
and Prosecutor Foster ^uoved sentence
upon Allen, who stood up. There
was a shuffling of feet ana a general
movement among the mouutaineers in
tlio back o? the room, but no sign to'
foretell tlie terrible tragedy then in
the minds of every oue of them.
The rsual legal formalities over,
Judge Massie began pronouncing sentence.
The last words that fell from
his lips precipitated the tragedy.
"One year at hard labor?"
"Rofnrp thw l?<af, wnrd was cold, the
fusilade began. Allen, mattering an
oath that he would never go to prison,
sprang out of the prisoner's dock as
Judge Mas? e collapsed upon the
bench. Ant fiher roar of shots and
Prosecdtor Foster was on the floor in
a heap. Sheriff Webb was springing
forward for his prisoner when the lead
found him.
Then, holding the panic-stricken
jurors and onlookers at bay, although
that probably was not necessary, the
assassins slowly backed out of the
court house and across the green to
their troop of ponies. In a second
they were galloping like mad men !
through the aroused village and off to
the hills.
Hillsville, Va., March 19.?The chase
of the Allen outlaws, who shot up the
Carroll county court house last Thursday
and now have five deaths to their
credit for that scrties, bus settled
down to a siege.
All that the pos9es ;known is that
the gang probabl> isujjTin the Chestnut
ridge. Travelers 'coming down
from Fancy Gap said the Aliens had
decertvx. oiauu at otpiirrei spur
and plunged into the thicker country
over toward the Parrick countv line.
That is more of a wilderness than
their previous stand. At some places
the boundary lines have never been
located.
It now looks like an attempt to
starve out the assassins The posses
have been spread over the roads, and
the crossroads and byways have been
well covertd. By this method they
hope to cut off f^od supplies and probably
medical attention.
