Old Joe's Grubstake
by Edith King Latham

by Edith King Latham

Old Joe Cunnlll was a picturesque
feature OF life In sauger's Pass. al
though the townspeople were not
greatly impressed with the quaint side
of the old mans character. To them
Il was an old story. once both conf
cal and pathetic. but now grown stale
from frequent reading
Ever since the founding of Sauger's.
Old Joe had figured In the history OF
the little mountain settlement. at first
as pioneer owner OF the first stamp
mill, and afterward. through the sharp
vicissltudes of a miners life, he had
slipped down TO his present position
Of the forlorn but ever-hopeful fortune
seeker. his sole possessions lanky
mule. a rife and a meager prospecting
OUTFIT With this stock In trade. he
was wont 10 set out on his expeditions
through Slsklyou county. often travel
Ing as far south as Reddlng. and
sometimes washing out two or three
dollars a week In gold. on the banks
OF the Sacramento. where Il rushes
through the narrow mountain canyons.
As II happened this year Old Joe
Cunnill had varied his usual program
by remaining all winter and well into
the summer In Sauger's. and Il was
not until one morning In July that he
and his mule were seen In marching
order, slowly making their way down
the country road toward the south.
Three men sitting on the veranda
Of The Shasta house. were discussing a
new mining boom
Suddenly one ~ them slapped his
knee. and brough, his chair down with
a thud ON the floor

either checked. or disappeared en-

This. also. would seem TO have been
the experience OF other ;nvesti-
gators.
Consequently. until the exact nature
of the agent producing meningitis. as
well as a possible remedy. has been
discovered, we would urgently recon-
mend to stock owners, that. as soon
as they observe the first symptoms OF
so-called 'staggers," they at once
make change from feeding materials
that are at all suspicious, to those
that are perfectly sound. Or, as a
matter of prevention at ali times, that

any kind that is not absolutely sound

even point out the Infectious nature OF

In the mild cases we got dullness.

enheit, often difficulty In swallowing.
The visible mucosae were congested
and brown,sh yellow. In these mild
cases the weakness never became so
great that the animal could not stand
and usually II was able TO take some
nourishment and water.
The more severe cases were mani
tested by the same general symptoms.
often. however. the resplrations were
much increased and lGbored. In the
severe cases the animals usually re-
fused food. but often showed a desire
for water. although unable TO drink.
The digestive tract was almost com
pletely paralyzed. Purgatives seemed
to do little good. no matter what the
dose The hypodermic use OF eserine
or arecolane did not produce purga-
