DENIED BY ATKINSON
FRISCO SYSTEM HAS NOT
BOUGHT THE BELT.
Principal Owner Of the Latter sys-
tenn Also Denies His Company
Is Making Fight to Prevent
the Seaboard's Entrance.

BIRMINGHAM, June 4.-(SpecialD-H. M.
Atkinson, principal owner OF the Birm-
insham Belt Railroad, which is terminal
road In and around Birmingham doing a
general switching business for the vari-
Gus railroads here, this morning denied
emphatically that the st. Louis and San
Francisco Railroad, better known as the
Frisco System, had purchased the Belt
Railroad and would use 1t for terminals
in birmingham. He said that he was
preserving the Belt railroad for the pur-
pose for which 1t was constructed Ac-
cording to a telegram from the East the
Frisco System will make great improve
ments on the property. 1t is generally
believed here that the purchase has been
made and that the Seaboard Air Line,
which has been seeking an entrance into
Birmingham for some little time now. Will
make traffic arrangements with the
Frisco for use Of the Seaboard The
litigation which started last week between
the Belt and the Seaboard continues.
though no special moves were made to-
day.
Mr.. Atkinson denies that his road is
making undue efforts to prevent the Sea-
board Air Line Railroad coming into
Birmingham. He states that all efforts
being made are to protect the property
of the Belt and If there is a war on as
has been suggested, 1t Is not the making
of the Belt road. He reviews the his
tory of the Belt railroad in the interview
he gives out today. There was no new
steps taken in the litigation on in this
city between the Seaboard Air Line and
the Belt this morning, though both sides
are ready to act.

FOXES THREATEN KANSAS.
They Were Imported for Sport and
Now Threaten Trouble.

kansas City Star.
Australia has the rabbit pest. West
ern Kansas is overrun with prairie dogs
and now that part of Jackson county
about twelve miles south of Kansas City
has red fox pest that will cause much
annoyance unless steps are taken to eX-
terminate the animals. They are becom-
ing so numerous as to cause the farm
ers much concern. 1t has been suggest
ed that dynamite be used to blow up their
nests whenever they can be found and
this will probably be done. The foxes are
causing serious losses of poultry and
young barnyard stock. Only a short time
ago one farmer lost at one time fifteen
turkeys, while others have reported the
loss of chickens and even young pigs.
These foxes are not natives of Jackson
county. Their ancestors were imported
from the South by Mr.. Corder and Mr..
Douglass in order that they might enjoy
real fox hunting behind the hounds. The
original importation. however. was not
caught. but increased and increased rap
idly until now they are so numerous
that the residents of that section of the
country are complaining bitterly.
Arthur Drummer of Kansas City spent
last Sunday on the Douglass farm. twelve
miles southeast of Kansas City. While
there the report came in that an inhah-
tied fox hole had been discovered in a
corn field not far from the house. Some
neighbors were called and they began to
dig out the fox family.
They had scarcely started when one OF
TIE pdTeHl lOASS dpDtdI6u ubodl my

gers followed the fox hole. which sloped
at an angle of about twenty-five degrees.
for fifteen feet. before the end was
reached. They took out five young live
foxes. They also found stored in the hot
tom of the hole: One small pig about
ten days old. one squirrel one ful grown
chicken, two moles and large rabbit.
Mr.. Drummer said that the young were
about the size of a small cat. and were
full of fight and viciousness. The feet
were black and the coats were a mixed
tan and gray in color. They turned red
when full grown All the youngsters eN.
cept one were killed Immediately. The
survivor was chained alive, near the
mouth of the hole in the hope that his
cries might attract the old foxes. A
watch was set. but neither the father nor
the mother appeared.
I'm another fox hole unearthed some
time ago." said Mr.. Drummer. they found
two quail. a yellow hammer and a teal
duck. What the foxes system of bird
trapping is I don't know, but it must be
almost perfect. as everybody who has
made any study of a yellow hammer
knows he rarely comes to the ground
Il was much Interested" continued Mr..
Drummer lin the slyness of the young
foxes in trying to escape being caught.
The fox hole was fifteen feet long, hut
every few feet there had been dug sinai,
rooms. The little fellows were not found
together, but each had secreted himself
in a room. hoping, l suppose, that W.
would not search them. but would dig
straight down to the bottom"

George Schaub. a well known German

He knows that this paper aims to adver-

advertised therein for lame back. he did
not hesitate in buying bottle Of 1t for
his wife, who for eight. weeks had suf-
fered with the most terrible pains In her

after using Pain Balm for a few days
my wife said to me, I feel as though born
anew and before using the entire con-

had entirely vanished and she could again
