Everyone familiar with the
workings of the U. S. Patent
Office knows that there are a
vast number of applications re-
jected. Some of tn e m are
rightfully so, but there are
others which would be allowed
as patents if the proper efforts
were used in prosecuting the
applications. None of t h e m
should be given up until E. G.
Siggers, patent lawyer, Wash
ington, ID. c., has had an op-
portunity to examine the re-
jected application and report
thereon. This he will do free

the ground and was in the act
of lifting little boy and girl,
each, into the vehicle-and had
gotten the girl in and turned to
lift in the boy, when the team
sprang forward and was gone
like a shot. The man man
aged to catch hold of the rear
of the vehicle and thus held on.
The team ran north ON First
street and was entering upon
the wheat field just north of
the city when Jacob Lutzer
drove a team attached to
lumber wagon in front of the
| run-aways, and thus checking
them in their speed they were
caught. The little girl was not
hurt but badly frightened and
through it all, was of course
encouraged by the driver who
managed to keep hold of the
| flying vehicle, till aid came.
