News Dispatch Relating to
Burial of Wandering Veter-
an Labeled "Fake."
HOW THE YARN ORIGINATED
ACCORDING TO REPORT WOMAN
BURIED MAN SUPPOSED TO BE
HER FATHER, THEN LEARNED
OF THE MISTAKE.

Milton. Ind. Feb. i-A fake story is
going the rounds of the press in con-
nection with the alleged mistake re.
Gently made here in the burial of an
old soldier. According to the dispatch
it was discovered after the burial that
the deceased was not who he was
thought to have been. No such bur
ial ever occurred in Milton and local
people are mystified over the origin OF
the yarn. The news dispatch referred
to which was sent out from Column
bus, o., reads as follows:
How the Yarn Reads.
Leslie Bancroft. an old soldier who
was supposed to be dead and buried a
month ago, walked into Cadiz this
morning to the establishment of many
persons. Word was received from I'm.
ion City. Ind. Christmas morning that
a man named Lester Bancroft had
died very suddenly at Milton, Ind, and
it was asked what should be done with
his body. His two sisters Misses Helen
and Eliza Bancroft of Cadiz. were con-
suited and they communicated with
Mrs. Carrie Henry Of Cincinnati, and it
was decided that the daughter should
attend the funeral.
Mr.. Barefoot having been wild
sort of fellow, having tramped all over
the country, and his daughter not
having seen him within her recollec-
ton, a description of the man was fur
nished and Mrs. Henry went to Milton
and the body was given a respectable
burial. Today the error was discover
ed. The officials in Indiana will be
asked to make an effort to identify
the man that was buried. Mrs. Henry
will probably ask the officials to stand
the expense of the funeral.

DAT STRAW WASTE.

A farm byproduct that should be
handled mach more economically than
at present and which will have to be
SO handled II the present upward
trend OF land prices continue is oat
straw. Feed tests show that 400
pounds Of bright cat straw are equal
to 100 pounds Of timothy hay. yet the
way it is handled By many q farmer
would lead to the belief that it had no
feeding value-in fact, was a sort Of
nuisance and bugbear. Cut at the
proper time before It gets too ripe and
properly stacked, the oat or other
straw which Is produced on the aver
age may be made an important source
for supplying humus to the soil, while
handled to advantage In the stables
and feed lots 1t may be converted into
tons and tons Of most valuable fer
tilizer. which nine farms out of ten are
in dire need Of. Coupled with these
uses its value as a portion Of the
roughage for horses. cattle and sheep
should be kept In mind
