Lost Leo Panied.

Much interest has been reused here
on account of the alleged experience Of
William Dusser, a Postal Telegraph
1ineman, who four weeks ago had one
of his legs amputated, necesSitated by a
fall from telegraph pole. The ampu-
tated limb was buried
After Dusser rallied from his shock
of the operation he asserted that his
lost leg hurt him. The attendants tried
to turn his mind from what they as
serted was pure Imagination, But he
asserted with greater emphasis that the
amputated leg gave him great pain.
He grew so persistent that the under
taker who buried it was consulted and
asked TO take it up and examine and
Dusser's assertion that there was some
thing between the toes was verified.
The, undertaken carefully washed the
offending limb, Strengthened it out and
dressed it.
Dusser. now says that the leg gives
him no pain, that which was unbear-
able being removed.
The man says that when his leg was
taken from its grave he was sitting
talking with some friends. Not know
ing that the undertaken was carrying
out his wish at that time he suddenly
exclaimed: Il feel the cold wind strik-
Ing my leg"
HE noted the exact time, and after
ward asked the undertaken about it,
and his statement was confirmed, be-
cause the leg was disinterred at the
very time that he said he felt the cold
wind strike it.
Dusser is a man of intelligence, and
while many in the community are skep-
teal, he is SO sincere that his convie-
ton is shared by many.-Las Vegas On.

Deer Eat TurnIps.

ut will give you some idea of the
abundance of deer in Sullivan county as
well as the straits they have been put
to this winter to get something to eat"
stated that on one ForeStburg farm alone
deer have made away with something
like 500 bushels of turnipS, and the farm
er tells me that he never knew it until a
week or so ago.
tAll but a half acre or so of the tur-
disposed In small heaps about the field,
covered with several inches of straw to
protect them from the cold and left I'M
til they might be required for use. Deep
snow came early in the season and added
it's covering to that Of the straw, double
protection.
"a fortnight ago the farmer thought it
would be advisable to haul in some of the
turnips as feed for his stock, but when he
drove to the field with his sled for a load
he was amazed to discover that there was
not single heap of turnips left.
HE at first believed that he had been
the victim of two-legged thieves, but soon
discovered that the despoilers of his tur-
nip crop had been deer. the evidences left
by them in the way of myriads of tracks
indicating that there must have been a
drove of them. They had not only dug
away the snow and the straw and eaten
the turnipS, but they had eaten the straw,
too.
'.And, more than that, they had paved
away the snow that covered the unpulled
turnips in the field and dug up every one
of those turnips to help them along in
their foraging. The farmer says that 800
bushels is a conservative estimate OF the
quantity of turnips the deer had thus pas
tured on, within three-quarters of a mile
of his house, without their presence in
the field at any time being discovered p

REDWOOD FALLS, Mimi, March
13.-It now transpires that Congress-
man Volstead, who ''franked" a lot of
personal political appeals to friends in
Redwood county asking them to watch
the caucuses and conventions, also sent
out another style of letter to promi-
nent political workers but paid the
postage on the letters. These letters
were much {. longer than the ones
"franked" and began Dear Friend"
They were also more of fearful ap-
peal. The shorter letters began MY
Dear Sir and were sent to farmers
alone and "franked.'
Mr.. Volstead's managers in Redwood
county are unmoved in their determin
alton to force next Tuesdays conven-
ton here to adopt resolutions indorsing
the congressman's stand against Cana
dian reciprocity Notwithstanding the
fact that they have been told that such
a move will leave a-lot~ of sore spots
and make Mr.. Volstead a good many
enemies out of voters who thus far
have felt friendly toward him. These
managers reply nonchalantly:
I'VE do not care. We can renomi-
nate and re-elect Mr.. Volstead without
the help of Redwood county
The convention next Tuesday is like
ly to develop lively scrap. Yet the
caucuses here last night were colorless,
but thirteen votes being cast in the
first ward and eighteen in the second.

FALLS DOWNSTA|R
WITH LIGHTED LAMP
Mrs. Margaret Hammond Is
Severely Burned, but May
Recover.

Mrs. Margaret Hammond, 2104
Twenty sixth avenue south, was the
victim of terrible accident yesterday
afternoon, which may result fatally.
At about 2:30 o'clock Mrs. Hammond,
who was alone in the house, lighted a
lamp and started to descend into the
cellar to secure something. In some
unaccountable manner she tripped and
fell headlong down the stairs. In the
fall the lamp was broken and the kero-
sene scattered over her clothing, which
was soon a mass Of flames. She was
badly burned about the face, arms and
body, and but for the prompt arrival
of assistance she would have been
burned to death.
Mrs. Hammond was Immediately
taken to Asbury hospital, where at a
late hour last night she was reported
to be resting as comfortably as possi-
BILE under the circumstances. The fire
in the house was extinguished before
much damage was done.

less than two gallons per capita, as
against nineteen in the country as a

But some of the stuff that apparently
the Prohibitionists do not take into
account is fearfully and wonderfully
made. A jointist who was recently
arrested in Dodge City confessed that
he made most of the stuff that he sold
as whisky, and this was his formula:
One gallon of alcohol, two gallons of
water, one pound of prunes, half pound
of tobacco. and one ounce of glycerine.
Boil the prunes and squeeze the juice
out, and the same with the tobacco,
and thoroughly mix.

fine drink and is warranted to do the

He kept the stuff in kerosene cans
to avoid suspicion.
