be the greatest boon to f1ockmasters
and other stock owners ever known.
StreitZ exhibited a small vial contain

claimed to be his secret He said he
could kill every wolf and coyote in the

termination is to trap a wolf or COYOTE

went something, the girl knew not what.
An intense pain shot through her body, as
though she had received an electric shock
Her head instantly twisted to the left side,
while shooting pain caught her on the right

neck was broken. Moving her head was I'M
possible. She screamed and dropped to the
floor unconscious. Mrs Hodge came to her
daughters assistance and had her cared for
at the hospital.
DR.. Stratton explains the accident. He says
that Miss Hodge, while braiding her hair,
must have thrown her arms far behind her
head, and while in this position must have
given her neck peculiar turn, which caused
a small muscle attached to the vertebra to
flip out of place. By little judicious NOV
ing of the head the muscle was coaxed back
into place, and the patient was pronounced
all right. 1t was the sudden shock Of the
muscle jumping cut of position that caused
her to faint.

Six Weddings Which Result i'm n
Wonderful Mix-Up of Relation

DANVILLE, Ky, Feb. 15-News of
most extraordinary matrimonial mix
up, involving six couples, comes from
the little town of Roley, in Adair coun-
ty. The six weddings all occurred on
the same day, three in the morning
and three in the afternoon. In the
morning the following were married:
0. S. Dunbar and Nora Tucker. Robert
Hood and Minnie McWhortor, and w.
r. Hopkins and Ada McWhortor Tn
this trio the McWhortors were sisters
and Miss Tucker was their aunt. After
the triple ceremony the three couples
went to the home of 'Uncle Bob"
Tucker, father and grandfather of the
brides, to be entertained. In the after
noon three other weddings took place
within an hours of each other, and at
the homes OF. sfhey respective brides.
There were several singular features
connected with all six of the weddings.
Every couplenis how closely related
to Uncle Bob Tucker, one of the
leading men of his county Out Of the
six couples before the wedding. he
had daughter andia son, three grand
daughters, a niece and a nephew. There
were in the group d brother and sister.
two sisters, two brothers, three cousins,
two uncles, an aunt, four nieces and
two nephews and syet no one Of the
twelve married anyone related to him
or herself Another singular feature
is that out of the twelve individuals
before the weddings there were two by
the name of Hopkins, two Dunbars.
two Chelfs, twoGTudkers, two McWhor-
tors, one Pendleton and one Hood. After
the ceremonies had been pronounced
the result was that the Dunbars and
Hopkins had each increased two, the
Pendletons Chefs and McWhOrtors
could nowhere be found, the Hoods had
gained one and the fuckers had been
fortunate enough to hold their ground.
Since the day of the great matrimonial
sweepstake, the town loungers have
been wearing out their wits and their
pencils in their endeavors to discover
just what relation the several brides
and grooms bear to their mutual kins-
man, Uncle Bob" Tucker.

prices were still held at a fair advance over

spent It's strength on the first rush. The
first rise was entirely due to sensational war
rumors, but the fact that British consols
