SEARCH FOR DESERTER 1 IS UNSUCCESSFUL [Continued From First Page] adoes who retreat to tliu mountains. ] when lie arrived In the Vicinity he , spent some time gathering us much l Information us possible concerning i the man whom he came to talfe. He was Informed that another like i character, KM Koons, who la also i much feared for Ills desperate record was supplying Fahnestock with food, and that to go to the hovel where 1 Koons was HvlnK with a woman was' to invite <iuick and certain death es pecially if he went alone. Partln j laughingly reminded tliem that his • father had been sheriff of Kentucky | ; In the worst of Its feudal days, alone I had cleaned up a squad masquerading I as the Ku Klux and that his son j perfectly willing to take the same I chances when it lav in the path of i duty. When he nrrJved, at what he de- I scribed as one of the worst hovels he ! had ever seen, where he knew Koons j to be, he knocked, nt the door with his left hand, the right grasping the butt of his trusty Colt. The upper part of the door was glass and he could see Koons stretched out appar- I ently asleep. Ilis arms were crossei* j with the hands under the shoulders. I At the second knock he sprang to a sitting position, a gun in his out stretched arm, pressed close to the glass within six inches of Partln's lace, A glance at the business end of an unwavering Colt, ( v lose to the outside helped him to reconsider. Par ' tin .told him to open the door and ad -1 mit him, else lie would shoot anil I shoot to kill although he was not! ] the man who was wanted. | Koons dropped the weapon and ad- j I mltted Partln to the only room of the hovel, lie refused to admit that' j he knew where Fa lines took was lo i cated or that he had furnished him witli food. Partin disarmed him. lock ed the door on the outside, told him would happen if he attempted to. ! follow or "i*ml anything funny" and departed in quest of the deserter. Hiding in Clay Cave ! It Is known that Fahnestock is us ing some old clay caves as a refuge during the day and that lie comes out I lat night for food, .lust what part of | the park lie is using for a hiding j , place is not known. lie has made | threats that he will shoot the first man that attempts to arrest or follow I him. His mother has made like threats | and says she will any person who comes In the Vicinity if she knows that he is after her son. state Police on Trail Partin had only been allowed the least possible time to get his man and could not stay in the locality as lie was needed at the recruiting station. Army officers do not, as a rule, go af ter deserters and Partin could not be spared, although he signitied his will ingness to bring the man back, dead or alive. The people In the vicinity of Mt. j Holly are acquainted with Fahnestock ; anil his record and have promised to 1 help the officers of the law as much as possible, in the quest. At the pres ent time a detachment of the State I police are watching every possible re treat In the mountains in an effort to locate him. Some of the residents of Mt. Holly are very anxious to have him cap- ' turcd and are not particular whether ' it be dead or alive. They declare , that in event the latter the may ar- j range a patriotic parade to celebrate the event.

Catarrhal Deafness May Be Overcome A simple, safe and reliable way that calls for no ugly trum pets, phones or other instruments To be deaf Is very annoying and embarrassing. People who are deaf are generally mighty sensitive on this subject. And yet many deaf folks carry around instruments that call at tention to their infirmity. Therefore people who are hard of hearing, who suffer from head noises, or who are actually deaf from catarrhal trouble, will be glad to know of a simple recipe that can be easily made up at home for a few cents' cost that is really quite eftlcient in relieving the disagreeable deafness and head noises caused by catarrh. From any drug store get one ounce of Parmint (double strength) about |T5c worth. Take this home and put it into a simple syrup made of >4 pint of hot water and four ounces of ordi nary granulated sugar. Take a table spoonful four times u day. This treatment should by tonic ac tion reduce the inflammation in the middle ear that a catarrhal condition wouTd be likely to cause and with the inflammation gone the distressing head noises, headaches, cloudy think ing and that dull feeling in the ears should gradually disappear. Anyone who suffers from catarrh, catarrhal deafness or head noises should give Parmint a trial. It is pleasant to take and is quite inexpensive.—Advertise- i ment. WM. PKNN OFFICIAI-8 IIKHK J E. M.
