WILLIAM HOPKI STILL IN HIDING

Man Who Shot Neighbor Near Car thage Has Not Been Loeatcd— Churned He Shot Man in Self-Defencc.

Leonard Hopkins, of R. R. 5, who went to Knightstown to ascertain some of the facts about his brother William, shooting a neighbor in a controversy over a partition fence, returned Monday evening. He said that the family knew absolutely! nothing about the hiding place of the fugitive. Leonard Hopkins saw a nephew who is a son of the fugitive. The son said that after the shooting his father went to the house and asked one of his sons to hitch up and take him to Rushville where he would give himself up and have a warrant issued for the arrest of the man he shot. He claimed that he shot in self-de-fence. When the father and son had gone only part of the way to Rushville, the father seemed to change his mind and got out of the buggy and told the son to return home. Nothing has been heard from him since.

He claimed to his family that he did not shoot to kill the man, but purposely shot low so as to stop him from using his knife, which he had drawn. The trouble occurred near Carthage.

Mayor Ora Myers is making some extensive improvements on his property on North State street.

Fine Tomato Weather. The present weather is said to be fine for the farmers who are growing tomatoes, as the plants that have just been set out will have a good start. The ground was so dry before the rain that tomatoes wilted and failed to grow when set out, making it hard for the farmers to get their fields started.

Nine of his horses were standing under a tree in a field. A bolt, of lightning killed four of the very best animals and also one mule that was with them, and the other five horses were unhurt.

For Women Who Care

Of course you use an antiseptic in your family and in the care of your own person, ^nd you want the best.

Instead of what you have been using1 such as liquid or tablet antiseptics or peroxide, won't you please try Paxtine, a concentrated antiseptic powder to bo dissolved in water as needed.

Paxtine is more economical, more cleansing, more germicidal and more healing than anything you ever used.

ANTISEPTIC

In the toilet—to cleanse and whiten the teeth, remove tartar and pr^ert decay. To disinfect the mouth, destroy disease germs, and purify the breath. To keep artificial teeth and bridgework clean and odorless. To remove nicotine from the teeth and purify the breath after smoking. To eradicate perspiration odors by sponge bathing.

As a medicinal agent for local treatment of feminine ills where pelvic catarrh, inflammation and ulceration exiot, nothing equals hot douches of Paxtine. For ten years the Lydia E. Pinkliara M«'d. To. has been regularly advising their patients to use it because of its extraordinary cleansing, healing ind genni"id:il power. For this purpose a,!, no Paxtine is worth its weight in gold. Also for nasal catarrh, sore throat,, hummed eyes, cuts and wounds. All md no cents a box.
