Substance Half the Size of
Pea Weighing Six Grains.
IN SANDS OF A BROOK.
Fowl Raised on a Ranch Had
Access to Small Stream.
Wild Goose Killed in Vicinity
Had $17 in Its Craw.
PrOspectors Are Now Searching
Along the Creek.

Kingman. Jan.1o.-The Leader-Courier
says:
A few days ago the tenant residing
on County Attorney WalIace's farm
brought in coop of young chickens for
Mr.. Wallace's family use. In the coop
were a number of nice young ROSTERS.
When one of them was killed and was
being dressed a bright substance about
half the size Of pea was found in its
craw. Mr.. .Wallace's attention was call
ed to the find and he took it to a local
jeweler to find out if possible what it
was. The jeweler pronounced it to be q
lump of pure gold, Weighing six grains
troy weight.
Now. how did that gold get inside of
that chicken and where did it come
from? The chicken was raised on the
ranch which is situated two miles west
Of this city, and was never away from
there UP to the time it was brought
to town the day it was killed. Near the
chicken yard Is a nice, never failing
brook or spring branch which runs in
/ its gravelly bed clear across the ranch.
The chickens went there daily for wa
ter and freduented the small beds of
sand, pebbles and gravel to be found
along it's course. The reasonable theory
/ is that the chicken picked up the piece
/ Of gold in some of its visits to this lit
ttle stream. IF such is the fact it is
reasonable to suppose there is plenty
more of the precious metal in that same
neighborhood. Perhaps here is where
the wild goose that A. B. Shadinger kill
ed filled its craw full ofnuggets, amount
4 ing to SIT worth
A few persons have already heard of
the find and have been seen searching
4 the sands in the brook but with what
success is not known. The little stream
/ is now frozen over but soon as it thaws
there viii no doubt be a rush of pros
| pectors out there from far and near.

ranch and can show the nugget found in

Cincinnati, Jan. 10.-Chairman Herr

baseball conference to give out the
news, said to the waiting newspaper
men that the conferees spent last even
ing as they had the afternoon. in gen.
eral discussion, without any motion or
action on anything, but that they seem
ed to be getting together, so that some
thing might be done today. Chairman
Hermann said that they had discussed
everything that was known to be In
dispute or under consideration between
the two leading leagues. In response to
question he admitted that amalga-
nation had been freely discussed with
specific plans for q twelve club league
and other changes. He stated that they
had given special consideration to con-
tract jumpers, and that there would no
doubt be something done in that mat
ter It was conceded by all that the
conference would complete its work this
evening, and this was generally inter-
preted as indicating that the conferees
were getting together on the principal
/ terms which would enter into a peace
agreement. It is even stated that drafts
of such an agreement have been drawn
up and presented. while it is known that
a number have drafts of a peace tEeaty.

In July last. says the Ellsworth Re-

his three little children on a farm in
Wallace county. His wife having died
a year or two previous he had recourse
to a matrimonial newspaper, and there
by began q correspondence with Anne
Daniels, a widow living at Louden,
Tenn, with a view of marrying again
About September 1 he sent her the
necessary funds and she, a boy of 8
years of age, and a man she intro

CURED.
The new wife. not liking the short
grass country, induced the husband to
worth, and bought the Holden property
in the northeast part of the city. Mr..
Rose, being a blacksmith, erected a shop
on the west end of his property and
congratulated himself that "all was
we'll" and that he was at the end of
his troubles The result proved that
he was right, but unfortunately it was
the first end. The wife began to COM
plain about caring for the husbands
children and made use of language
which may be- proper in Tennessee, but
was liable to start a prairie fire in
Kansas The uncle" still fingered and
stuck to her closer than a brother.
About New Years day her daughter ar
rived from Tennessee, a young lady
about 20 years old, and Mr.. Roses
brother came down from Nebraska
Attorneys were retained on each side,
a settlement of property interests was
agreed to. The wife, children and
uncle" returned to Tennessee; the hus-
band and his children went to Ne

be divorce proceedings somewhere.

CANFIELD IN LONDON.
Personal Friend Says He Sailed Be-
fore Christmas.

New York, Jan. 10.-Men of ire
proachable standing and known for
their discretion who have recently called
at East Forty-fourth street to pay
their respects to Richard Garfield have
missed the cordial greeting usually &C
corded to them by the host But few
OF these callers have been aware that
the man whose presence they have
missed has been speeding across the At
lantic and is now searching through the
emporiums of London for new treasures
with which to adoTn his private house"
in New York.
1t was a few days before Christmas
that Mr.. Garfield quietly carried out a
plan he has been cherishing for several
months-at least a friend of his put it
that way yesrerday-tO go abroad. Be
cause Of the Investigation being carried
on by District Attorney Jerome2 Perish
the thought, his friend declared with
every appearance Of sincerity On the
contrary, this friend said, Mr.. Garfield
had even engaged his passage when the
outrage on his private residence"
was perpetrated but was so much over
come by the intrusion on his privacy
that for the time being he altered his
plans and postponed his trip.
Don't ask me to tell you when Mr..
Garfield will return" said this friend,
who is in close touch with Mr.. Canfield's
affairs, for ( could not tell you if I
would, and / don't mind admitting that
4 Wy CU4u NOT tell you II could mat IS
Mr.. Canfeld's business. and, so far as
[ know, he kept it to himself when he
left lie may be gone month, or two
months, or three months or he may be
back next week. When ne announced
his departure he merely said goodbv
and we said we hoped he would enjoy
himself and that was all there was
to it.
There's just one thing you want to
remember. That is, that Mr.. Garfield
was not running away. What had he to
be afraid OFF And he's not the sort OF
man who runs away. He'll be back
after while, and guess there
wouldn't be much trouble in finding
him in London if any one took the
trouble to look for him.
Meanwhile Mr. Bucklin is in charge
of the esta blishment. and seemingly is
in ignorance that Mr.. Garfield ever ex-
listed.
When District Attorney Jerome was
told yesterday that Mr.. Garfield was in
London, he expressed considerable
establishment. and admitted that it was
news TO him.
Tt strikes me as decidedly interest
ing, . was his only comment.
