“Hatch" Blackburn, well known former Decatur man who has had about every thrill cn the calendar, had a new one on the evening of Jan. 18, according to a copy of the Los Angeles Bevelling Express of Jan. 19. received here today. Hatch had a gun poked in his ribs by one of those real Pacif c coast bandits, put up a scrap and tcok a beating, but prevented his assailant from getting hold of his pocket book. The Express says: “R. M. lackburn, 1317 West Ninetieth place, gave battle to a young man who tried to hold him up with a pistol on Ninety-ninth street near Hudlong avenue, late last night. “Blackburn knocked the thug’s gun into the street but was bested in the tassel that followed. His assailant escaped, however, without loot." ■ o Fort Wayne Man Loses Third Clemency Appeal Michigan City, lnd„ Jan. 27.—(INS) —. George First of Fort Wayne, widowed father of eight children, who shot and killed Bessie Keller, his housekeeper when she took his furniture and threw boiling water on him. lost his third appeal for clemency from life imprisonment when the state pardon board denied his application for a parole. A petition signed by 250 business men and former neighbors of First at Roanoke, Ind., was presented to the prison board by Lee Bowers of Huntington. The petition failed to move the board however which has a ruling that lifers must serve at least 15 years before they are eligible for parole. o “My skin was sight” “I couldn't look people in the face, 1 was so ashamed ' of my skin! It was always blotched with pimples and blackheads ami at times itched terribly. 1 had tried everything and was so discouraged that I couldn’t bring myself to take hope in anything. You can imagine my surprise therefore when one application of Rowles Mentho Sulphur a'moet completely cleared my skin. 1 could have danced with joy! In a short time you wouldn't know my skin -it was so clear, so soft and white." Thousands of people are discovering that there is a remedy for skin trouble—even fiery, itching eczema! It’s the magical combination of sulphur and menthol—sulphur for clearing the skin, menthol for healing the broken and irritated tissue. Rowles Mentha Sulphur is inexpensive ami all druggists supply it in jars ready to use. Be sure it's Rowles. 0 Get the Habit —Trade at Home, It Pays
