FOX & SON

! farm seven miles southeast of this city
and has lived upon it since. Some men
were cutting deep ditch through por-
ton of his farm, when the spade of one
struck soft substance eight Or ten feet
under ground, which, upon investigation,
proved to be the we'll preserved body of a
hog. To say that they were astounded at
the find is expressing it very mildly. Some
of the men thought they had struck pork
mine, while others were Of the opinion
that some local-option dealer had run a
corner on picked pork, and the price
going down on him, had buried his
stock on hand till the market should
rise to his figure. The subject Of
forming stock company to develop TIE
lead was discu ssed and a handsome sum
agreed upon as the amount of capital. 1t
was suggested that Mr.. Nicholson, the
owner of the land, should be let into the
secret, and also made a member of the
company, out ofscourtesy, if nothing more.
He was summoned to the spot and ques-
toned about the hog, but could give no
light upon the question of how it hap.
pened to get so far under ground, unless it
might, in its animate days, have been a
scion of the famous CahOkia stock, that
are trained to root into the bowels of the
earth.
The my stery continued to grow until
number of Mr.. Nicholson's neigh bors, who
had lived there ten to fifteen years, heard
of the find, and, calling upon their re-
tentive memories, were able to explain the
cause of the hogs body being found in the
condition and place it was. Seven years
ago the man from whom Mr.. Nicholson
bought the farm was feeding eight or ten
head of hogs in a lot adjoining an aban-
doned well, when one day some person
poured considerable quantity of salt
brine into the hog trough. Hog-ike, the
greedy animals proceeded in short order
to drink it up. OF course they all died
from the effects Of the beverage; and, as
the easiest means of getting rid of the
carcasses, the farmer threw them into the
old we'll and then filled it up. The salt in
the brine had picked the flesh and the fat
and lean meat was plainly distinguishable
when the ditchers brought it to the sur
face. The carcasses of the other animals
arc supposed to be deeper in the earth, but
the men will go on ditching and not
bother following the lead

AN EXPERT LOCK.PICKER.
How Young Yankee Burglar Defies
Combination Locks.
WATERBURY Americana

Waterbury Americana
A Norwich correspondent writes of the
young burglar Williams, of Bridgeport,
who is now in New London Jail: "Give
him twenty minutes alone with safe,
says Sheriff Hawkins, and Williams can
open the most intricate lock that ever was
devised, and if you will tell him merely
the name of the safe maker, he will tell
you instantly all the parts in the lock and
give you diagram of the mechanism. He
never breaks lock, ne simply finds out
inside Of twenty minutes the combination
in which it set, opens the safe, and takes
out what he wants and relocks it, and
when the owner returns he finds the safe
apparently just as he left it. To accom-
plish his work Williams needs in addi-
ton to quick wit and mechanical
knowledge, three ordinary wires, which he
forces into the lock about the handle in
such way that the number of the COM
bination is reduced to twenty-four He
reasons that all persons in locking a safe
make certain number of moves, and a
knowledge of the fact enables him to fur
ther reduce its probable combinations to
two or three movements. These two or
three moves he finds out by actual trial,
which consumes the greater part of his
twenty minutes. In the case when the
safe is IN an apartment that is in full view
of the street he drops little quick-lime on
the floor, pours water on it, and the steam
thas rises effectually cloaks the windows.
In three instances Williams unlocked safes,
distracted the contents, relocked them and
made off in the time that the men who
were in charge of them were at their din
ners. He got away with the valuables in
Straaord safe in this way"

..Reasons Why,

''Reasons Why"
You should patronize the great Rock Is
land route:
l. Because it is always first to give
cheap rates
2. Because it gives to its patrons only
first class accommodations.
3. Because it runs free chair cars on all
trains and Pullman sleeping cars on all
night trains leaving Wichita.
4. Because its ticket agents will sell you
tickets and check your baggage to destina-
tiOus be it east. west, north or south, and
always ready TO give reliable information.
5. Because it is noted on account of its
gentlemanly employees and the attention
paid its patrons.
G. Because it is the only line that ladies
and children can travel over without
worry or trouble and receive the best OF
treatment by all employees.
T. Because its tracks are of the heaviest
steel rail, rock ballast, iron bridges. COM
modious station houses and the finest eat
ing houses in the world.
These are only few reasons why you are
justified in selecting the great Rock Island
route when going on journey for business
or pleasure-for comfort, speed and safety
the Rock Island route is way ahead. Call

The interstate commerce law forbids
railways TO charge openly or by device any

forbds. 1t does not, however, prohibit one
company from giving to its patrons better
services than another. Why then patron

modern improved Pullman palace sleep
ing cars, give it a trial and you will always
thereafter take the popular route. 1t is
the short line to st. Louis (by IS miles, as
well as to all Colorado, California and
Washington Territory points. Before
