DREAMtRS KEPT AWAKE DURING THE DAY. And They Were Very Keen in Getting lack in Some instances. . 1 . " j ! >" * v Medicine Hat, April 20—At the continuation of the trial of the sect known as the. Dreamers, Jacob Merkel. Jr., son of the Dreamer god John Merkel,- was on trial. , John Lehr stated that the prisoner had told,, him* that the same fate would overtake him as happened to'j. W. Martin, J.P., who was . supposed to have been drowned, and whofineda Mrs. Gill $20 for;firing a gun.,at the witness' children. ChrisUan Gill had also,threatened to ao away with him if he got a chance, and threw a knife at him on one occasion, Merkel also carried a rifle. Adolph and Michael Brost gave evidence that they ■■had heard the <■ prisoner "make the threat that the witness would die like a beast. \J. Sclinieder testified :hat he had been a Dreamer, but withdrew from the church two years afjo. Their belief was to destroy the property and lives of those who did not believe with them He carried out their dreams as inter- . preted. ■ ,, i ■ The witness knew of a dream the prisoner had carried out, and as a result of which he rode oyer to his brother-in-law's place and shot him. He was jailed for thirty days and had to pay a fine of $100. The brother-in- law was not killed by the shooting. ' Witness knew of Dreamers who- had burned buildings as _ the result of dreams. He left the Dreamer-.' church because he was afraid he would get into trouble. God Jacob had threatened him with revenge for", leaving the church. -. ,, . ; Other witnesses gave evidence of a similar nature. '" '- MMHE PRAISES ZAM- Magistrate Rasmussen, of'202 Marquette St., Montreal, writes; "For many years 1 was troubled with a serious eruption of the skin. This , was not, only unsightly, but it was al times very painful, I first tried various household . remedies, but these proved altogether useless. 1 .then took medical advice. Not one, but several doctors in turn were consulted, but. I was unable to get any permanent relief. '. Some"time ago 'i noticed a report fiom a justice of the peace (.Magistrate Perry, J. P. forj B.C.) who had been cured of a chronic skin disease by Zum-Buliyand ,1 determined to give this balm a trial. ^ After a thoroughly fare test 1 can say 1 am delighted with it. 1 have the best' of reasons for t hese [ conclusions; because while everything else I tried—salves, embrocations,' washes,'soaps and doctors',, preparations. Jailed absolutely, to', relieve my pain and rid me of my trouble, ' three boxes of Zam-Buk worked a complete cure." In my opinion this balm should be more widely known than it is, and 1 hope that my experience will lead other sufferers who are in despair'to try this herbal healer, Zam-Buk." ■ For healing eczema, running sores, pimples, spring eruptions, scalp sores, cuts, bruises, burns,, boils, eruptions, itch, chapped* hands, and diseases of the skin Zam-Buk. is 'without equal.

Nevertheless this nefarious business Is still being carried on by some. 1 might specify many instances where persons have been victimized but many who read this will have their own experience to prove the charge I make. . I, have* known,of a case where the vendor sold outright certain lots which he did not own. It is bad enough"to get a'practical!v valueless lot for one's money, but much worse to"get nothing at all." There is, I believe, a .method of employing "booster*;" that Js.'to say, an* operator wifihing to catcl{, purchasers gets hold of two or three supposedly reputable citizens to "buy!1 lots'and then-the "booster" goes about telling whnt h guod bargain he has made. • Tlieie "booBtefs"(.'paY' nothing whatever for their lots. They merely allow references to be.made to them and if asked for an ■opinion urgejih,eTvietani8'atong>*0ie line of slaughter. - There are many men' penniless to-day who owe that condition to the outside real'estate agents. Of, course the property offered has, so says the agent, a great value Hnd why need' u wbrklngmnn be content' with the bank rate of interest when he can double \w money in a short time. These alluring speeches catch.men ns honev draws tbe fly. Our own good properly goes a begging, our brokers wlin have their homes nnd their all here sell coir)* pnrntlvvly few lots, tho progress of the city Is stayed beenuno the money is nbvorbed by outsiders, The situation is truly appalling, I do not deny that there . arc, some ^reliable and worthy outside agents who come here. Tliny are hampered in their work by the ones who carry on fleecing operations. No man should invest in anything without i* - ■ • ,i .'•.*■.« ,i • »» , .,oi .i.v'1'b •t'.ui n •» ni.ii.

Title | The District Ledger |
Publisher | Fernie, B.C. : W. S. Stanley |
Date Issued | 1908-04-25 |
Description | The Nakusp Ledge was published in Nakusp, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia, from October 1893 to December 1894. The paper was subsequently published as the Ledge both in New Denver, from December 1894 to December 1904, and in Fernie, from January to August 1905. The Ledge was published by Robert Thornton Lowery, a prolific newspaper publisher, editor, and printer who was also widely acclaimed for his skill as a writer. After moving to Fernie, the paper continued to be published under variant titles, including the Fernie Ledger and the District Ledger, from August 1905 to August 1919. |
