Because Of the construction work
being done on the large new addition

many patrons, old and new, have got
ten the idea that this popular hosiery

Meyers
Continued from Page 1

"Boar's Nest" on Bear Lake sinks into
insignificance. Meyers Is said to be
towing logs and lumber across the
Idaho pond, and those who knew him
here doubt not that he occasionally
finds time to scare up a Darrell or so
OF fine trout.
That Meyers ever killed anything
more human than chichen, or that
he Is In hiding from anything but
modern Delilah who once tried to rob
him OF that auburn chin adornment,is
not believed by those who know him
best. To the few who were admitted
to his royal favor, Capt. Meyers was
prince of princes, a man with heart
as big as a wash tub (more or less) and
a generosity that was limited only to
his possessions The Nebekers, who
are also filled with red corpuscles, af-
firm that Meyers is a better man than
most United States Senators and fully

OF which much has been published.
In fact, Meyers was the original Bear
Lake monster, the voluminous tones
from a pipe organ he had constructed

terrible leviathan breathing lightning
and believing thunder. For years
Meyers lived on mis- ranch" at the
east side OF the lake, and operated

himself had put together and fitted up.
This carried him backward and for
ward across the lake daily, and during
the summer the boat was used by
excursionists who desired to 20 across
or around Bear Lake. Capt. Meyers
was six feet or more in the air, was
easily recognized in the dark by
huge bunch OF fire-red driftwood on
his chin, and was particularly noted
for his aversion to feminines Of any
age and breed. A Gibson picture had

nounces remarkable scientific discovery
which promises to solve the problem Of
substit Iting alcohol for petrol as the fuel
for automobiles.
The cost of alcohol, which here is
eighteen pence gallon, has hitherto pro-
hibited its general use in motor cars, but
Mr.. Wallace says a chemical investiga-
ton, which was carried on for years. has
now resulted in finding means by which
alcohol distilled from peat may be manu-
featured and sold at considerable profit
for three pence (six cents) per gallon.
Moreover, it will be safer to handle
than petrol. and il will not overhead the

DIED OF HYDROPHOBIA

DR.. Erwin reports two cases where
cows have been bitten by mad dogs i'll
this vicinity which resulted in rabies
and death. One day last week DR.
Erwin was called TO the home of Edward
Hooper. Mr.. Hooper had gone to the
stables i'll the morning to feed the cattle
and when he held the basin to one of
them, she grabbed it in her mouth and
threw it down. The DR.. held stick to
her, which she caught viciously in her
mouth and chewed. She was sized with
paralysis OF the Larnyx. the paralysis
spreading until she died Another case
was in Summerton. The dog had chased
three cows but only succeeded in biting
one The dog was killed on the spot.
The COW did not act unusual until the
next day, when she commenced chasing
other cows, barking aud acting like a
dog. Her death was identically the
same as that of the first case.
There is considerable excitement just
now in the townships Of Fremont, Uuion
and Lincoln over the number of animals
that develop cases Of rabies. A dog from
Midland county cams down through there
a few weeks ago and inoculated dogs and
cattle with the germs, but to what extent
is not known. New cases are developing
with alarming frequency. The cur was
seen by many with froth running from
his mouth, his tail between his legs, a
peculiar look in his eyes, and trotting
steadily on as though earnestly intent on
something ahead lie bit George Nc
Queen dog, Mr.. Judges dog and Mr.
Tibbit's COW. The dogs were disposed of
by the gun and the veterinary DR.. Walk
iugton later diagnosed the symptoms OF
the COW as hydrophia without question
Hosmer Wright says his neighborhood
in Broomheld is experiencing a lot of
excitement because of the presence of
rabies. Three weeks ago a dog frothing
at the mouth and a wild look in his eyes
came into the community and was seen
to bite VIM. Leach's dog Then he went
on to Court Mitchell's and bit a COW and
over TO Ed. Miller's where he bit an
other dog. Then the mad cur made over
towards VIM and report has il he was
killed the next day. The Leach dog after
a few days began to show signs of disease
and was killed at once. The Mitchell
COW a few days ago also developed IN
mistakable SYMPTOMS Of hydrophobia and
she also was shot. I'd. Miller's dog has
begun recently to act queerly, as though
it we've trying to dislodge bone from its
throat Mr.. Miller opened the dogs
mouth to look for the obstruction when
the dog nipped him. Mr. Miller thinks
the bite did not draw blood but he and
his friends are just a little anxious lest
his blood might have been inoculated
with the germs of the horrible disease.
