RICH CHICAGO
MAN FOUND DEAD
BODY GUARDED BY HIS DOG

Indications Are That He Committed
Suicide, Though His Gold Watch

Are Missing
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, Jan. Z.
The body of Il. Crane Wilsan, n
wealthy Chicago man and member of
the firm of wilson Bros, 3S2 to 33s Fifth
avenue, Chicago, was found upon the
highway seven miles east of this city
about Z o'clock this evening with bull
let hole in the head.
The indications point to suicide, al
though a gold watch and chain he wore
are missing.
Mr. Wilson had been staying at the
Alta Vista hotel in this city for over a
year, and left the hotel at 2:30 this
afternoon on horseback.
His only companion was a grey
hound.
About o'clock this evening two well
known citizens of this place found the
body as they were driving in from
their ranch and telephoned the county
coroner.

tion went to the scene of the shooting
and found the body of Mr.. Wilson lying
fiat on his back.
The bullet had entered three inches
from the right ear and lodged under
the left eye.
Mr.. Wilson's pet horse was standing
by his side and the big greyhound was
still guarding the body when the Off
GERS arrived.
bullet wound on the right side of
the horses neck had caused some SUI
fering to the animal and indicates that
Mr. Wilson had first attempted to kill
his horse and then kill himself.
Mr.. Wilson's 3S 'caliber revolver was
found on the ground beneath his right
hand with but two cartridges fired and
three loaded.
The gold watch and chain and all
money were missing, but a pearl shirt
stud and pearl cuff buttons were still
on the body.
1t is believed that Mr.. Wilson should
have had something over 800 in cash,
as he had paid his hotel bill yesterday
with check for $3.50, receiving $100 in
change.

A Strawberry Patch That Paid.

A lady writing from st. Petersburg,
Fla, won the third prize in the South
ern Ruralist's special fruit number.
Leaving out the references to the
illustrations which we cannot repro
duce, the article is as follows:
'"Those who have tried it doubtless
know how hard it is to carry straw
berry plants through the summer in
Florida. We succeeded, however, and
found the great advantage of having
our young sets ready at hand for
the new crop. We had very little
trouble getting a stand, while neigh

been proved conclusively. Recently,
as a test, sixty-pound shoat was
placed in pen with a herd of droop-
ing, cholera stricken hogs. The "mule-
foot" lived on, contented with his lot,
while the remaining members of the
herd went on their sorry way to hog
heaven. Another test was that of
placing thirteen fully developed mule
feet" in a lot with forty ordinary pigs
that were threatened with cholera.
The forty gradually invent to rest"
while the "mule-feet" were never
touched. The cholera proof mule
FOOT hog thus battles science. There
have been scores of explanations, but
none has satisfied the farmers. The

Of his herd in an effort to solve the
"mule-foOt's" disregard for the arch
enemy of the pig family, when consult
ed on the subject, only shakes his
head and says: II don't know why
they don't have it, but they don't.
That's all there is to it." If it turns
out to- be fixed characteristic, there
can be little doubt that this type of
hog will become immensely popular
with breeders and eventually be in
general use. If, in addition to needing
little attention, fattening we'll and
growing to great weight, he is able
to present such certificate of charac-;
ter as immunity from cholera, who,
can doubt that "mule-foot" is the COM
ing hog. Herds of these new-fangled
pigs are springing up all over Indiana,
and those who have experimental
with them report good results. It
would be odd if this queer-footed crea-:
ture, with his reputed dfsreputable,
slab-sided ancestry, who has encroach-
should so grow in grace and grease:
as to eventually lay over the hereto
fore all-potent Poland-C China, Ches-
tiers and Durocs. But the bottom rail

seems, however, that the mule-foot, -
like most other animals, may be i'm
proved by changing his environments
for the better, and when introduced
to the luscious Hoosier clover and
the mammoth corn ears of the White
river bottoms he sheds a lot of his
rustic characteristics and becomes
more civilized. He retains his long
nose, however, and his pedal trade
mark. He cultivates better table
manners, as it were, and abandons
the Southern-acquired disposition to
fight on the slightest provocation. The
variety being cultivated in Indiana are
as black as Stygian night, and have
the reputation of being good fatteners,
those who have been experimenting
with the breed declaring that they
are money-makers. In this respect
they are said to be equal to Durocs,
Chester Whites or Poland hinas. If
CAC w SIOlICS COl11LSS
in may be accepted, the ''mule-feet''
are marvels as weight makers. In
fact, some of the figures are stagger-
ing. A farmer living near Edinburg,
Ind, recently sold a three-year-old
that tipped the beam at 72O pounds.
Another breeder, in the same neigh
borhood, had two-year-old not long
ago that made the scales show $50
pounds. Last winter one Of the sons
of the same owner pulled down 61O
pounds, while four others, at the same
killing, averaged $50 pounds each.
The owner Of this herd, who is the
leading breeder Of the variety, says
they require little attention, which
makes them possess another valuable
point for the farmers interested in
hog-raising.
But the most important thing re
mains to be told about the ''mule-
feet" They are immune to that dread
disease which, in the words of the
temperance orators about the rum
traffic, ANNUALLY Destroys thousands
and thousands of the most promising
porkers. Cholera has been a pig prob
lem ever since Noah's cruise ended
and fortunes have ineffectively been
offered for a sure cure, but this, aid
ed by the efforts of all the animal
doctors for centuries, has failed to
wipe out the disease. The mule
foot" however, unlike the rest of the
pork family, never catches this com
plant. Traits acquired in his original
habitat, Or his constitutional construc-
tion, have made him proof against this
scourge Of the porcine race. The fact
that "mule-feet'' hogs are not addict
ed to the cholera habit, a disease so
popular with the ordinary hog, gives
them an especial interest in the eyes
of the animal scientists. Experiments
along that line have been made by
expert veterinarians during the last
few years, and they are still at loss
for an explanation. That they are
immune from cholera, however, has
