j. w. PLUNKETT, formerly of Mex

X. b. Rombauer and John Killholland,
also of Bevier. These gentlemen are
looking at the q. G. Davis Coal Mine
property and will probably purchase
it. The Davis Coal Mine is one of the
very best in the State and if properly
handled will prove a splendid piece of
paying property. All of these gen.
tlemen are tirst-class business men
and we would like to have them locate
in Mexico. Nothing would be of more
advantage to Mexico at this time than
to develop our coal interests.

From the Chicago Tribune.
Wherever the trotter and PAGER are raced
and the struggle to send horse In har-
ness a mile in two minutes is on, the ''bi-
cycle sulky" is used. Three years ago the
first ones were received with laughter. so
odd did they look beside the old high
wheeled hickory, Weighing twice as much
Few are aware that a Chicago newspaper
man, William Welton by name, an admirer
of the harness horse and for many years
a rider of the bicycle, failed to hear Dame
Fortune when she tapped at his door with
the patentable idea of the bicycle Sulky in
her hands. 1t came about in this way. He
was at that time reporter on a Detroit
afternoon paper, which prints also a Sun
day morning edition. He had been on the
paper only a week and was anxious to turn
over some good Sunday stuff" 1t had &C.
Cured to him before this that a sulky
rugged with bicycle wheels, rubber tires,
and, above all, ball bearings, would run
many pounds easier to the mile than the
old-style sulky, and 1t would make several
seconds difference in the struggle to have
a horse trot in two minutes. So he wrote
a fake"
DR.. Gibson of Jackson. Mich, owner of
fremont 2.2S IA, sire of Junemont, ia,
and others In the story Gibson was cred
tied with having suggested the idea. The
next fall the first bicycle sulky appeared
in Buffalo, and was made sport of, but the
horse beat one he apparently had no Ii
cense to beat. Today not driver goes into
a race without one. The newspaper man,
who never applied for a patent-in fact,
never thought of it-who threw away his
chance to prove the invention in later years
by giving all the credit to third person,
is still in the grind" Millions have been
made out of the rubber-tired ball-bearing
wheel.
