Webster City, Aug. 4.-Ex Sheriff w.
w. Sinclair, whose sudden disappear
arce some nine weeks ago caused a
large amount of talk, returned as sud-
denly this morning. Sinclair, it will be
remembered, left home without telling
any one where he was going and his
wife persisted in the idea that he had
been kidnapped. AT about the time of
his Disappearance Nallie Hand, a rath-
er notorious character in these parts,
also disappeared and the general opin-
lion prevailed that the pair had eioped
together. They We're said to have been
seen in Denver together, but this state
ment WAS never verified. Sinclair denies
| ever having seer the Hand woman dur
ing his travels and says he left home
Ion account of family troubles, which,
he claims, We're breaking down his
health He says he has been in Ne
i5braska. Illinois and other states work
ling the most of the time as a hired man
ION farms. He looks much better than
before he left and says his health has
greatly improved, He expects TO make
this place his headquarters, but will be
tsout of the city much of the time on
business Sinclair's wife, whose health
! has gradually been growing worse since
| his disappearance is said 10 be in a
leritical condition. Sinclair went out to
his old home shortly after his arrival To

TIT will be startling news to the mem
bers of the Benevolent and Pro-
tective Order of Eaks to learn that
they are charged by members Of
Ia their own order with being directly
though unintentionally. responsible
for the wanton destruction in great num-
bers OF the splendid animal after which
their organization Is named. Now that
the matter has been called 20 their atten-
ton II is anticipated that prompt action
will be taken to stop the slaughter so far
as II lies in the power OF the Eiks to
do so.
A stranger case has rarely been called
to the public attention In It all It IS
pointed out that the members Of the
order can be charged with nothing more
serious than thoughtlessness. Their en-
thusiasm for their order has led them
without knowing 1t to put such a high
premium on She killing of the animals
that there is said to be serious danger
that within a few years, unless something
is done to stop the slaughter the elk will
be numbered among the extinct animals
Twenty years ago the Denver lodge of
Elks, full OF enthusiasm for their order.
began to wear elks' teeth mounted In
gold as watch charms and pins. Gradu-
ally the custom spread all over the coun-
try. Elks' teeth were worn by members
of the order as scarfpins. cuff buttons,
and in various other ways. Gradually It
became almost universal. Today 1t Is es-
timated that out of 5000 Elks in the
United States more than twoIthirds have
one or two elks' teeth among their trink-
cts Many OF them have more than one,
and It is safe to say that among the
Elks alone there are nearly 100000 teeth
mounted and used on emblems Follow
ing the example OF the secret society men,
elks' teeth have been largely used in
making 1ewelry for sale to tho public gem
orally, and there is now considerable de-
mand for trinkets of various kinds in
which the tooth of an elk 10 the chief
factor.
When the Elks began to wear the teeth
they were plentiful. and could be had for
