The Bank Was Lea..ed.

COLORADO SPRINGS, COL, Jure 19.-A
daring attempt to rob the Exchange
National Bank and which was doomed
to fail almost at its inception, occu rred
at lao to-day and as result four men
are now under lock and key, three of
them with long terms at Canon City In
view. The bold scheme was hasched
about week ago by Fred George, Ed
Hutch, Mike Kennedy and Robert Nc.
Farland, and if was originally intended
that the raid should take place last Mon
dsv, but for reasons unknown it was
postponed till to-day, and might in a
measure have been successful, had not
Hutch weakened and betrayed the scheme
to the sheriff.
At 1915, very opportune time owing
to the absence of clerks and patrons,
George entered the bank with gun
leyeled at Assistant Cashier Heron,
quickly followed by Hutch, who started
to 90 behind the glass partition. Cashier
Heron, who had been anticipating the
raid, Immediately droppe.l behind the
counter, and pressed the electric burglar
alarm. Concealed in the bank were
Sheriff Frank Bowers and number OF
his deputies, all armed to the teeth, while
on the opposite side Of the street and
and nearby were plenty of officers to
assist. George did not say word and he
and Hutch entered the bank with drawn
guns, but their actions were most signti-
cant and most hostile. They, however,
were so quickly covered from all sides
by officers with guns that they capitulated
without firing shot, and any attempt to
escape on their part would have resulted
in being shot. Kennedy was stationed
outside to sound any danger warning
while Mcfarland was in charge of fast
team of horses and light wagon near
the side entrance of the bank in which
the robbers intended to escape after Sc
curing the booty. The men are all resi-
dents of Colorado Springs, and George,
who is supposed to be the leader, formerly
conducted livery stable here.

MIX az a Diet.

To the Editor of the Scientific Am
crican I recently tried the experiment
Of living thirty days with only sweet
milk as q nourishment. At the be-
ginning I had no difficulty in changing
my diet from solid to liquid. During
the thirty days of the experiment I
lost FIVE and one-half pounds in weight
but lost no strength. I think that
I lost the weight because the weather
was warm, and because I took so much
exercise. I rode a bicycle consider
ably during the time, and used 16
pound dumb bells and other heavy
weights every day Except Sundays):
I took much more exercise than |
usually take, as I was determined to
test the thing fairly. On the seventh
day of the experiment | ran several
foot races with skillful runner, and
was beaten in each race. On the
thirtieth day I ran more races with
the same person, but did better than
in the first races. This fact proves
that I lost no strength. I.took four
pints of milk daily for the first three
weeks of the experiment, and five
pints daily for the last week. I think
that a healthy person should take
about FIVE pints of milk daily when no
other food is being taken. | drank.
milk after intervals Of two hours
during the day, commencing at seven
o'clock in the morning and continuing
till ten o'clock at night. Then |
would take no more till the next morn
ing.
My principal reason for trying the
experiment was to endeavor to estab-
lish the fact that persons GONZALES
cling from sickness may grow stronger
with no other nutriment than sweet
milk, and that they are not obliged to
take something solid" to eat, as so
many people imagine. Many con-
valescent has gone to his grave as a
result of overtaxing his weak stomach
by putting "solid" food into it. The
result of the experiment also shows
that the old belief that "bread is the
first essential of (human) life" is er-
roneous.
I believe that man could live for
any length of time, and take heavy
exercise all the while, with no other
food than sweet milk.

Cure For Founder.

A recent writer gives this remedy
for lameness occasioned by infamma-
tory fever in the foot of the horse,
with the assurance that it is perfect
cure.
"Clean out the bottom Of the foot
thoroughly-hold up the leg so as to
bring the bottom of the foot upward,
holding it firmly in horizontal posi-
tion and pour in, say tablespoonful
of spirits of turpentine, if the cavity
of the foot will hold that much, if not,
pour in what it will hold without
danger of running it over; touch the
turpentine with red hot iron this
will set it on fire; hold the foot firmly
in position until itall burns out. Great
care must be taken that none runs
over on the hair of the hoof, lest the
skin be burned. If all the feet are
affected, burn turpentine in each of
them. Relief will speedily follow, and
the animal be ready for service in a
short time.
It is affirmed that animals treated
in this manner have been promptly
relieved. In one case although suffer
ing more than twcnty-four hours when
applied, in less than an hour afterward
the animal was fit for use and travelled
some distance, all lameness disappear

TilIman as q Communist
Louisville Coatrier-Journal.


The advocates of a stable govern
ment and sound money owe debt of
gratitude to the South Carolina Sena-
tor for the speech he made at the
Memphis Convention. Every man
who spoke there, from Turple, of In
diana, and Stewart, of Nevada, to the
noble pair Of Populist brothers f7om
the two Gar0lihas, contributed to the
obligation; but it was Tillman more
than the others who showed the dan
ger which threatens parties and men
when reason fees and passion takes
it place. 1t is truism that a man
shall be known by the company he
keeps, and it is the same with conven-
tions. The Memphis assemblagc con-
tained not only silver fanatics, but the
advocates of every other species of
demagogy. But the man who staked
his political existence on State mon
opoly of the liquor traffic set the most
distinctive mark upon the delibera-
tions.
Senator Tillman is the more danger
Gus, because, unlike Turple and Stew
art, he contents himself with asser-
tions and attempts no arguments. His
boastful declaration that he could say
things which no other man dared say
showed the gasconader conflict Of his
power. Having attracted attention by
this silly braggadocio he launched into
the characteristic TRADE of the dema-
gogue. 1t was all about the starving
people and the grinding plutocrats, the
gold bugs and poor silver the
Rothschild ring and the subservient
President, eliminating in the threat
that when he and his colleagues got
into power they would confscate all
property after it had reached certain
figure.
No such another collection of freaks
and political desperadoes has been got
together in this country within the
last ten years as the one which has
just dispersed at Memphis. Forum
ately the good sense of the American
people will teach them to see the wolf
under the sleeps clothing. That
politician or political party that de-
pends for ascendency upon lying asser-
tions that this land of peace and plenty
is the home only of starving men and
grinding monopolists cannot long exist
in a country that supports common
schools and is dotted over with
churches. The far West and North
west with their hordes of foreign-born
voters may countenance the agrarian,
but the South, where every man Of
consequence is an American born and
with an Americans patriotism and
knowledge that the Constitution is the
safeguard Of the poor and lowly as we'll
as the rich and loftly, will not tolerate
communism.

The Wild Turkey.

Every American has heard of these
birds, and not a few have seen them
hanging in the market stalls of the
large cities in some parts of the country,
while much larger number have seen
them alive in all the glory of their
woody surroundings. And though he
had never seen one or helped kill or
eat one, believe there is not an Am
erican to day who is not proud Of this
king of the forest. And we'll may we
all be proud Of our wild turkeys, for of
all our useful birds it is the only one
domesticated and made to serve our
purpose to the fullest extent. Once
found along the Atlantic Coast, all
through the territory now known as
Mexico and the Central American
States, and in the great interior plain
of North America, the turkey in a
state of nature is to-day limited to the
mountainous regions of New York,
and Pennsylvania, Virginia, the Car
olinas, Tennessee, few in Kentucky,
some parts of the Gulf States, and
rare sections Of the Western States.
Like all game, it is rapidly giving way
to the incessant warfare of dogs, guns
and hunters. The loggers go into the
forest, followed soon by the farmer
and his boys, and the poor turkeys
lose their right to the land and to their
claim on life. Thus it goes on all
sides, and it will not be many years
before they become almost as much of
a rarity as q wild buffalo ranging his
Western prairies. The habits Of the
turkey have not changed much by do
mestication. The bird has become
less shy and timid, but hardly less
watchful. 1t nests now along a fence,
or in bunch of weeds. grass or briers,
where formerly it sought the most
secluded spots along the mountain
side. It roams with it's young now in
the wheat stubble, through the growing
corn and over the mown meadows and
short-cropped pasture land, while its
wild sister scratches among the leaves
of the distant chestnut ridge, or CLEANS

Wild turkeys in their native haunts
are remarkably alert, cautious and
apparently possessed Of a large share
of reasoning powers. 1t is something
wonderful, the manner in which they
elude the oldest and most experienced
hunters. My grandfather said that
the whole countryside of gunners were
out on the watch for a renowned albino
gobbler that ranged the hills along the
Allegheny River, in his young days,
and although the spotless white bird

was frequently seen, on bright
morning or evening, flying from
one hilltop to another, yet it was
two or three years before he at last
fell before the unerring aim of one of
my granduncles. And it was source
of much chagrin to my youngest
brother, then a lad, not to be able to
locate Minnehaha s nest the first season
we had her. She was full wild hen.
l year old, obtained from the noun
tains in Central Pennsylvania, and
was the beginning Of our efforts at
crossing wild and bronze turkeys, to
improve the plumage and hardness of
the latter. But watch and trail her
as he might, and with all the casual
assistance half dozen brothers and
sisters could give him, our turkey
hunting expert could not find the
wild hen nest until after the poults
were hatched and away. This, too, in

abler drives off the weaker ones and
assumes a royal charge of the flock of
hens about him. The young gobblers
meekly stay with the flock until it
breaks up for nesting but any old
gobblers in the flock leave it at once
if they discover they cannot rule, and
live in solitude excepting that, attract
ed by his beauty, or perchance out Of
pity, or on account of some dislike for
the ruling gobbler, some hen consorts
with the banished bird and shares his
solitude. Again, two or three young
gobblers will be found together, living
in peace and plenty during the pleasant
summer months. The nests are made
exactly as the domesticated turkeys,
and the number Of eggs laid by one
hen ranges from eight or nine to IS or
20. The eggs are more thickly spotted
with reddish brown dots and blotches
than those Of tame turkeys or of all
other than bronze turkeys. They are
not as large as domestic turkeys eggs,
yet-a nest is occasionally found with
eggs at large as White Holland eggs.
If the eggs are taken from the nest
and hatched under domestic turkey,
the young poults will run off to the
forest as soon as Matched. This ex-
pertinent in domestication was fre-
quently tried by an uncle of the writer,
who passed his youthful days in the
midst of the finest wild turkey country
in this State.
But, although when compared with
large bronze, white Holland or Nara
gansett, the wild turkey may appear
small, its power to so re-enforce the
constitutional stamina Of any turkeys
with which it is crossed, and thus
give progeny of superior size, is we'll
known to many turkey raisers, while
it is the only way Of retaining the
brilliant marking so characteristic Of
well-bred bronze turkeys. This fact
should be better understood George

Judd Farmer.
