A MINER FROZE TO DEATH
Knox County Man Overcome in Storm
Of Tuesday Night.

Job Wilkes. who is employed in a
coal mine 114 miles east OF Wataga
in Knox county, was found frozen to
death yesterday morning near the
cemetery just east of that village. He
had gone to work at the mine. but
the owner himself was not there
II is supposed that the man worked
alone all day. though no one heard or
or saw anything of him until his EN-
ployer found his dead body while he was
ON his way To the mine. 1t is probable
that he started home in the evening
AT the close of his days work. and
was overcome by the cold while pass
ing the cemetery. When found, the
body was leaning against the cemetery
fence. The exposed parts were frozen
solid. while under the clothing the
body was not frozen when found. He
was warmly dressed. Wilkes was 50
years old. and hard working man.

THESPIANS STEAL CHICKS
For Christmas Dinner-Captured by
Irate Farmer.

Peoria. ILL.,, Dec. 29.-When the
company rolled in on the Burlington
Sunday afternoon there was not one of
the company of 60 who had any desire
for a Christmas dinner. Ii was not the
lack of appreciation of the day, but was
due to the fact that they had all had
their Christmas dinner and a novel one
at that.
The train was delayed at a small
town about six or seven miles called
Rothner. 1t was about dinner time and
everybody was hungry. There was no
prospect of getting anything to eat
until Charles Wayne, the comedian.
sighted a covey of young chickens near
the railroad track. He called for vol
unteers and formed a skirmish line.
gradually advancing on the chickens
in the formation of a hollow square
until the order to rush was given. The
result of the raid was the capture of a
dozen. more or less, young and ten
der chickens The next thing was to
cook them.
While the members of the company
were Offering suggestions. the farmer
who owned the chickens descended
upon the chicken grabbers. armed with
vicious loking sawed-off shot gun
There was no argument. Wayne paid
the full price and jollied the farmer
into cooking the chickens. Those that
cooked to an apparently tender condi-
tion were eaten by the theatrical folk
Some of the chickens are still cooking
Added to the chickens was homemade
jellies, cookies and baked potatoes,
celery and the like.

River Frozen Over.

Some time after dark last evening,
the Mississippi river froze over at this
point and what was formerly a vast
expanse of water is now a solid ice
formation. On account of the high
winds prevailing during the freezing
process. the surface of the ice is very
rough and will therefore afford very
poor skating for the small boy who
takes SO much delight in this favorite
pasttime.

BLACKLEC IS HERE
Fatal Disease Appears Among
Cattle in Lower End OF
the County.
SEVERAL HERDS Affected
Feared u Will Spread and Cause Seri
Gus losses-Begins in Best
Herds.

The disease known as blackleg and
one OF the most fatal in the category
of bovine ailments. is reported to have
affected several herds about Reynolds.
A number of animals have died, and
there is danger that the disease will
spread and cause considerable losses.
1t has been several years since black
leg appeared in this section. Ii usual
ly starts with young and well fed cat
tie and is communicated to others. AS
the name implies. the first and most
prominent symptom is the swelling and
turning black of the legs of the animal
affected, and this is communicated to
the entire body and death follows in
a few hours.
Treatment Futile.
There Is no treatment that will avail
and the efforts of the veterinarian are
usually confined to preventing the
spread of the disease to other members
of the herd or To other herds.
Blackleg is supposed to be due to a
peculiar germ and the manner in which
il is communicated Is not thoroughly
understood.
