THE WONDER OF THE WORLD.

from Nortons, where he has been
staying with Joe Price since June
20 of the present year.
Mr.. King is all old soldier-and
one of the wonders of the world.
< On the 9TH day of August, 1873,
S while hunting prairie chickens in
eastern Oregon, he was bitten by a
r very large rattlesnake. The rep
tiles fangs were buried in the right
shin, or, as Boston girl would say,
the incasement of the starboard
hbia. Friends, supplied with the
standard antidote for snakebite,
were near, and Mr.. King, so far as
appearance and symptoms indi-
Gated, in due time fully recovered
from the effects of the poison. But
about twenty-one years later, or
about the first or August, 1894,
while walking with a friend, he
suddenly felt what he supposed to
be the bite of an uncommonlv
vicious flea on the spot which had
. been bitten by the snake. Going
after the supposed flea, in the
manner with which we are all
familiar, he was very much startled
to find the limb at that point
covered with peculiar spots. He
Immediately told his friend he had
the leprosy. He didn't know any
thing about the leprosy, but knew
he had it, just The same. They
Immediately went to a physician,
who examined the limb, and then
asked him if he had ever been bitten
, by a rattlesnake. Mr.. King re-
lated the facts as given above.
The physician assured him that the
spots were the result of the snake
bite. Dnring the first ten days of
August, or thereabout, Mr.. King
became quite blind, as do rattle
snakes in the "dog days" season,
and on top of his foot, under the
skin, blood collected in the form
of a snake. In all other respects
, the symptoms were the same as
when he was bitten twenty one
years before. People generally in
the vicinity of Mr.. Kings home
were much interested in the case,
, but there were few believers in the
, snake theory. A year later, dur
, ing about the same period, Mr..
King again had the same expert
ence, and this has been true during
July and August of each year from
1894 to 1900 inclusive.
His case is known to some OF the
leading physicians of this country,
Europe and Asia, and has puzzled
all who have made examinations.
One eminent Chinese physician has
offered to pay his fare to and from
China, and guarantees a cure, but
Mr.. King has not yet decided 10
take tie trip. The celebrated DR..
: Slocum of New York is also inter
: erted, and would like to try his
skill, but is not certain that he can
effect cure. Mr.. King thinks
seriously of starting next season on
a tour of the world for the purpose
of placing his wonderful leg on ex-
, hibition. It's a first-class show,
and should bring him fortune.
A number OF Toledo's citizens, in
: cludiug THE LEADER man, in
spected it, and we believe none
doubt lis history as related by the
possessor. Mr.. King is nephew
: OF. Sol King of Corvallis, who i.
: well-known to many of our citizens
: He also has acquaintance in thi.
: county, including Mr.. Price O
! Nortons, who cared for him during
d his dormant" or blind stage, jus,

We might relate numerous other
interesting features of this strange

OF the world is in Oregon-and his

"Ther's Il whole lot ofpeople, thous'

abhrevlate that. When we strike
1901 it will be all right again; then
they can write January l. 'Ol; but
