Why Quail are Scarce.

Local nimrods and others in
terested in hunting are much in
terested in a theory recently ad-
vanced which may account for
the scarcity of game, as all the
hunters have noticed this year
1t is claimed by farmers and
others that when a quail or rab-
bit drinks of the water in the oil
fields that they do not long sur
vive The salt water kills them
This theory has been advanced
for sometime in the neighbor-
hood of Van Buren, and to test it
one man who owned Belgian
hares put two of them in a pen
and gave them water from a creek
nearby and in twelve hours both
were dead. In another instance

the water from creek and it
died in few hours. Several

dropping like chickens with the

very dry season this fall makes
it necessary for the quail and
rabbits TO seek the streams Of
water and this is given as the
reason for it being more mott
ceable this year than formerly.

DROUTh KILLING WHEAT
Farmers Fear the Bad Effects Of
the Present Pleasant Weather.

The prevailing drouth in this
section is becoming a source of
great worry to hundreds of farm
ers, who fear the effects will be
disastrous on the wheat yield of
1905 and produce another total
failure, such as was experienced
last summer.
There has been no rain Of
consequence for over six weeks
and the situation is becoming
alarming. The earth has be-
come so dry that late wheat is
exposed to the ravages of the
raw winds, in some ms 5ances the
roots being laid bare.
Not in many, many years has
there been such dry fall. No
hope is held out for immediate
relief. Farmers have been anx,
iously awaiting rain for several
weeks and now they begin to full
ly realize the gravity of the stu.
alton. Should the wheat crop of
1905 fail as the crop did this year
the results will be doubly worse
owing to two successive failures.

ADDITIONAL SPORT.
Jenkins -Gotch Wrestling Match
 Hart and Fitz Matched.

Bellingham, Wash, Jan 2S.-In what was probably the hardest fought wrestling match in the history of wrestling in this country, Frank A. Gotch of Humboldt, Ia, has demon strated before 5000 persons that Tom Jenkins of Cleveland, O., who has re- tained the title for six years, is no match for him in fastness or science, although Gotch's fast work possibly caused Jenkins to appear to unusual disadvantage. At the end of the first bout Jenkins's seconds had to carry him to his corner and administer re- storatives. In the second bout, pre- ferring to lose on foul rather than to go down, Jenkins obtained the barred strangle hold. When Gotch got away Jenkins aimed vicious swing that, had it landed, would have knocked him out The referee jumped between the men. who continued lunging at each other until the ring was cleared. The former champion did not seem to solve Gotch's leg work and when he lost the first fall it was after Gotch had felled him four times to the floor and rem dered him helpless. The match was for a $2,O00 purse and $2,0OO side bet. Gotch weighed 19O pounds at the ringside and Jenkins BIO.
