a desperate fight with the Indians In
Arizona and other frontier states and
had won un enviable record, in the
fferce conflict v. i e" Oeronlmo, the
famous chief of the Apaches, was cap-
tured, Mr. Kletigauf was irmong the
brave soldiers who, forgetful of every-
thing but duty, charged upon the hos-
tile Indians.
Life on the plains sent to an untln'dy
death many soldiers who were never
touched by a redskin's bullet or arrow,
and Mr. Flegauf came near auch a fate 1
as tliaj. A long time befoi* his time |
was out he was taken seriously ill. hut
he^stuck to his post until an honorable
discharge was finally given to him.
When he reached Philadelphia, the
Indian lighter was scarcely more than
skin and bones, and for three weeks he
lay desperately ill In a hospital, li, felt
dizzy, und his stomach felt as if it had
dsl'ed up. These s> mptoms were accom-
panied by bloody dysentery, which in?
medicine seemed to relieve.
After two years of suffering, Mr.
Flegauf came to New York and was
treated by several physicians. These
did not agree, some calling his disease
catarrh of the stomach, and others
chronic diarrhoea.
In speaking to a reporter about his
Illness Mr. Flegauf said the doctors
helped him. but, with all the money he
spent for advice and medicine, he was
able to work only a small part of the
time. Bine* moving to his present
home, No. 517 Wi st Forty-second street,
in New York, about a year ago, Mr.
Flegauf has been so ill that his voice
and hearing almost left hltn.
Then all medicines failed, and the
sick man had little hope of recovery.
At this critical time Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills for Pale People were recommended
to Mr. Flegauf, and, almost as a last
hope, he began taking them.
"The beneficial effect of the medicine
wag felt at once," Mr. Flegauf told the
reporter, 'find before I had taken a box

Mexico. Mo., March 10.—The decom-
posed body of a ti aged farmer named
1'atrick i'ronin, who lived in a little
shanty near Martiusburg, this county,
was discovered yesterday and viewed
by the coroner, who thinks Cronin had
been dead atMUit ten days. Mrs Cronin,
who was also very old, and subject to
insanity,went to the Catholic services
at Martiusburg,Saturday, aud told tho
priest that her husband was very
ili, and asked that aid be given him.
On investigation it was discovered
that the old lady had been cooking
and eating in the room where her hus-
band lay dead, and was not cognizant
of the fact. Mrs. ( ron in had thought
her husband very ill. and sat up with
him each night until his face began to
turn black, and she became frightened
and told the priest. When the odor
became unbearable she got a brick-
bat atid knocked out every pane of
glass in the house, thus admitting the
fresh air.
