offered one-sxth of the proceeds for the
sale of anything that might be found on
the land when L arrived on the scene.
He not only refused the offer, but he
would not say what he would take for

head. Being told that the farmer was

a scheme. You let me talk to him., said

a price. We'll, then, will you accept one

NEW RUBBER TIRE.
One Makes Its Appearance in This
CITY.

An innovation in the shape of a rubber
tire for buggy wheels has mare its ap
pearance. Although not so very different
from those in general use, the new tire
is said TO be quite an Improvement over
the old. It is said TO make a vehicle
ride more easily.
The tire is placed on the wheels of a
vehicle as the first style which appeared
in Wichita some time ago and which Is
now in use on many vehicles. Insted of
being smooth. the rubber is notched at in
tervals OF about one inch long and half
an inch deep around the entire wheel.
Another Improvement which the new tire
is said to possess over the old, is that it
will not wear out as soon and viii re-
main in place longer. Like anything else
new. buggy equipped with the new tires
