HE SHOT HIM — Young Man Killed by Policeman at Fort Wayne. Henry Schmidt a painter, twenty two years of age who resided at 1119 Erie street was shot and killed by ’ Policeman John Greer, about 2:30 o’clock yesterday afternoon while running away from the officer, who had a warrant for his arrest. The shooting took place ! in front of the residence of Central Buechner, at 100 Cochran street and was witnessed by practically’ all of the people along the street. Only a few minutes after he was hit and when Dr E. J. MoOscar who I was summoned to the scene ar- | rived he found the boy dead. Great | excitement followed the shooting and Officer Greer and Officer Spilli ner who was with him, escaped ! rough treatment at the hands |of the crowd which quickly assembled, only by threats of using their clubs. Women sobbed and cried hysterically and shouted curses at the policemen and men talked in a threatening manner. Had the patrolmen remained in the vicinity trouble might have followed —Ft.

CHOKING CATARRH CURED Your Honey Back Hyomei Docs Not Cure You. “Use Hyomei and be cured of catarrh,” is what all who have tried it for that disease say to their friends. It is the easiest thing in the world to stop catarrh at its beginning if you use Hyomei. Just breathe the health--giving, balsamic air for a few minutes and your catarrh will bo cured. lu the worst cases of this disease, chronic or aeute, Hyomei used four or five times a day is all that is needed to soon effect a cure. The complete Hyomei outfit costs but 81.00 and comprises a hard rubber pocket inhaler, a bottle of Hyomei and a dropper. The inhaler will last a lifetime, and additional bottles of Hyomei can be obtained for 50e. In this city and neighboring towns, there are hundreds who can testify to the remarkable powers of Hyomei to cure catarrh. Many of the staunchest friends of this remedy today l>egan its use with little hope that they would be cured, but as The Holthouse D. ug Co. offered to refund the money it it did not cure, they decided to try it on that plan, and were soon restored to health.
