NO MORE MUSKRATS FOR HIM
County Treasurer Fuller Relates
Thrilling Experience. Shudders at
Thought of Marsh Hare.

No one has noticed anything strange
in County treasurer Fuler's actions
of late, but he relates thrilling expert
ence, which has caused his many friends
TO have grave fears as to his mental con-
ditIon. He claims to have encou ntered
real live muskrat in his house last
Sunday morning and not until after a
terrific battle did he succeed in dispatch
ing the animal.
Heretofore Frank has been a great ad-
mirer of the marsh hare. especially when
prepared q In hOuSenfeGer, but now he
shudders at the word and shrinks from
the thought OF going into dark room
alone and unarmed.

TELEGRAMS WOULD SEEM
TO SETTLE THE MATTER
Looomobie Company and Home lnsti-
tuition Part with Regrets and Sat-
isfactory Relations

With the general rumors prevailing
in regard to the resignation of Col. r.
]. Leavitt from the active manage
ment of the Los Angeles Motor Car
company, despite the explanation pup
lished, The Herald is in position to
make the question plain to the many
friends of both the company referred
to and the doughty Colonel Leavttt.
The race of the Locomoble with the
Stearns car did not meet with the ap-
probation of the Los Angeles Motor Car
company, nor of the Locomob1le COM
pany of America whose representatives
the former corporation have been ana
still are. But Colonel Leavitt had
gamely put it UP to the Stearns people
that he was ready to test his car in an
extended mileage, and backed that
opinion with $1,000 and side wagers to
very considerable amount. Having
done so, he refused to rescind his
judgment, and the race was run with
the colonel the lone participant In the
effect and result whichever way 1t
went. assuming the full responsibility
for the event.
The following kilograms show clear
" the relationship existing between
Leavitt and the company he has so
long and ably represented:
los ANGELES. Cal. Aug. Is. 1909.
To Locomoble Company of America,
Bridgeport. Conn. Locomobile defeated
Stearns over forty miles. w. j. Orr
drove entire distance Car in perfect
condition Owing to reports from San
Francisco office detrimental to me per-
sonally and to the stand which you
have taken in this race, have decided
that my services in connection with
the Locomobile here are not needed.
Will sever my connection with this
company tomorrow.
"R. ]. LEAvITT."
To this the following telegram was
received Monday morning:
"BRIDGEPORT. Conn.,. Aug. TO, 1909.
TO Los Angeles Motor Car Company,
Los Angeles, Cal Telegram received
AS we told you when there, we were
opposed to further racing as unwise
and unnecessary on your part. Your
interests and ours are Identical, but YOU
should accept our judgment in matter.
Did not understand your telegram of
this morning until receipt of Morse's
letter this afternoon, enclosing copy Of
his letter to you of August o. Think
you are unwise to allow foolish rumors
affect our heretofore pleasant and very
satisfactory relations.
"LOCOMOBILF COMPANY OF
AMERICA"
The above would seem to set at rest
the idle talk about disagreements be-
tween Leavitt and either the Los An
geles Motor Car company or the Loco
mobile Company of America.
In the meantime Colonel Leavitt goes
merrily about his arrangements for the
future wearing the smile of calm
serenity, and that he will be heard
from actively In motor circles locally
need not be doubted. for a game man
that will assume personally obligations
his company would not sanction will
not get lost in the shuttle anywhere.

Buick Aaent Back

Mel G. Johnson, agent for the How
ard Automobile company, has returned
from an extensive trip through the
principal cities of Arizona, and reports
the gradual increase in interest being
taken in automobile matters in the
territory, brought about by the general
stand taken by the people In good
roads, trunk lines of which are con-
templated to the principal places of the
eastern, western and southern borders
The. number Of auto owners is being
increased. and, as the cars become
more frequent and the people recognize
their utility Arizona may be expected
to furnish heavy demand in the near

The announcement in The Herald of

Conaratulatlna Leavltt

Congratulations are passing in auto
mobile circles to r. J. Leavitt over the
dismissal of the charge of murder
placed against him from Seattle, Wash,
in Judge Davis court, department II,
at 1890 Tuesday morning, the district
attorney of King countv stating that no
basis for case existed. This removes
the complaint in so far as Leavitt is
concerned, and 1t is learned that on
the return of the Washington official
to his office the case will be dismissed
in that state and the bond exonerated.

Eating for Strength.

The greatest pleasure to be de-
rived from eating is the pleasure one
gets In the knowledge that his food is
giving him greater strength and VI
tality.
Because of this fact there is a con.
stant increase in the consumption of
Quaker Scotch Oats; every time the
strength making qualities of Quaker
Scotch Oats have been tested by SCI
entific Investigation or by expert
ments in families 1t has been found to
be food without an equal.
1t builds the muscles and brain with
out taxing the digestive organs; it
costs SO little anyone can afford 1t.
and 1t is SO carefully prepared and
packed that 1t is absolutely pure and
clean. A Quaker Scotch Oats eating
family is always a healthy family.
Quaker Scotch Oats is packed in
regular size packages and also in large
size family packages. The latter very
convenient for those not near the
store. II

LAND BOUGHT FOR SITE OF NEW
PROFESSIONAL SCHOOL
BUILDINGS.
.LOCATED0N BROADWAY
DOWNTOWN PROPERTY MAY BE
LEASED FOR ERECTION OF
BUSINESS BUILDINGS.

Denver.-The Republican in an ex.
tended article says: In recognition OF
the splendid work which the Univer-
sity of Denver has done and is doing
In the educational field of the Rock
mountain region. u number of citizens
interested in the work are about to
put into fruition plan to enlarge its
scope and place 1t upon more sub
stantial financial basis. Advantage
has been taken OF the rapidly increas.
ing value of the downtown property
belonging to the university and this
will be given over very large to busi-
ness blocks while the educational
work done in the heart of the city
Will be moved to new and much
larger buildings out Broadway.
The charges will be apparent, not
only in the academic department at
University park, but in the develop.
ment of the life of the professional
schools which are a part of the insti.
tuition.
The development of the professional
schools has been started by the pur-
Broadway and Acoma street and by
West Fifth and West sixth evenues.
which has just been bought from II.
w. Moore. for sum slightly in ex-
cess of $4,000. This block of ground
measures 500 feet on Broadway by
400 feet deep, and is Immediately
south OF Broadway park of the Den
yer baseball team of the Western
league. 1t was formerly used by the
University of Denver as football
field, and is considerably below Broad.
way grade.
On this ground new buildings will
be erected for the uses Of the colleges
of medicine. dentistry, law and com.
merce. Space will be provided there
also for the work Of teachers college,
which is operated Saturdays only. The
university offers college and graduate
work to teachers every Saturday
throughout the college year.
The four colleges which will be re-
moved to the block on Broadway now
occupy eight lots owned by the uniyer-
sity at Fourteenth and Arapahoe
streets, in the downtown district. 1t
is considered that after the building
of the new Tramway depot and the
Central National bank, the latter to
be on the west corner OF Fifteenth
and Arapahoe, the locality will be
recognized as specially adapted for Of
flee buildings.
Downtown where the Gross Medical
school stands five lots will be retained
by the school for the medical dis.
pensary and for an emergency hos
pltal. The dispensary building is new.
having cost $4,000. and is said to be
az well adapted to its uses as any
medical dispcnsary building anywhere.
There have been on an average OF
10000 visits OF poor people last year.
I. is the intention to keep the dis
pensary as near the street car center
OF the city MS possible. although the
medical college will be removed to tho
block on Broadway.
The need OF an emergency hospital
/ In the center OF the city Is very great
| The question OF lie or death IL often
n matter OF getting the patient ON the
operating table within five minutes
OF the time OF receiving his injury.
The thirty minutes required TO get
him to the county hospital Is often

Announcement Of School Principal
Not at All Comforting to the
Teacher.

One of the women teachers went to
the principal Of a school in Queens
borough the other day. "Mr. Mark"
she said. II think you had better go
upstairs. A substitute teacher is on
duty up there, and am afraid she
is having terrible time. The noise
is SO terrific the children down here
scarcely can study"
The principal went up the stairs two
steps at time, and the noise soon
ceased. When he returned to the
lower room his face was grim. Miss
Henderson" he said, "if you hear any
more of those noises let me know at
once"
Indeed WILL" she replied. ut is
simply outrageous that parents should
bring their children up so they will
behave that way. Did you find out
who the children were?"
yes. found out" the principal
said. scowlingly. "One is your nephew
and the other is my son." he replied,
