SHIPS HOGS BY DIVINE WILL
Ideas Regarding Filling Stock
Car With Hogs.

Kansas City, N-o.-In few days A.
D. Coleman, of Abilene, Kan, will
have another peculiar shipment Of
hogs at the Kansas City stock yards.
In letter to his commission men here
Mr.. Coleman SAYS that Divine will"
has ordered him to make a consign.
ment of hogs to market in two S0-foot
double-decked cars. He does not spec.
fly how many there will be in each
car, but says that as soon as the hogs
have been unloaded in Kansas City
the cars will suddenly disappear. A
few weeks ago Mr. Coleman consigned
six hogs to this market in two 40-foot
stock cars, three hogs to each car.
The shipment, he said. was made in
accordance with Divine will, and he
expected, on arriving in Kansas City
to find the cars filled to ordinary ca.
pacity, or sixty-ive to seventy hogs
in each car. His first test of his "reve-
lation," though rather expensive, has
not discouraged him in the least.
Mr. Coleman owns a 320-acre arm,
well stocked and cared for by a ten
ant. He works for a neighbor at so
cents a day, and though repeatedly

400 caves existed in this immediate

These caves were discovered some
thirty Years ago and public attention
called to them by Professor Tsuboi
OF the Imperial university. There
has been a good deal of discussion in
regard to their use. TsubOi himself
believes that they were dwelling
places, and attributes them to a pre-
Ainu population. Most writer's, how
ever, among them Aston and Basil
Hall Chamberlain consider them the
burial places of an olden time. They
have been taken possession of by the
public authorities and are maintained

farm and hastily obtaining a descrip-

to have been taken by the robbers.
Three of them were rounded up. Hen
derson left them in charge of other
farmers while he took up the chase
for the others. He trailed them to a
swamp and succeeded in capturing
them. The officer, in company with
Turnkey Elliott of the Lapeer JAIL re-
turned to where the three were> left,
only to find that they had escaped.
The Italians were first seen at the
kingsbury farm early in the evening,
when they stopped and asked for a
drink of water. Obtaining this they
began dickering for the purchase of a
chicken. Being told that there were
no chickens for sale they purchased a
number of eggs and quantity Of
bread. They rendered a ten-dollar bill
in payment for e. purchase of one
dollar. Being told that there was not
sufficient change in the house the
Italians produced five-dollar bill and
were given four dollars in return.
They insisted on buying a chicken,
claiming that they had a brother who
was i'll and needed chicken. They
finally obtained a chicken and went
away. About thirty minutes later
they returned anc asked for Matches
AS Mr.. Kingsbury turned from the
doorway to grant their request four
of the visitors followed him into the
house while the other stood outside.

Kingsbury.

the reply.
At that Kingsbury and his wife
were seized.
The money, amounting to a large
sum, was taken away by those who
escaped Thirty-five dollars which
was sewed in Mrs KiDgsbury's skirts
