got caught on log in the middle of a

came to our rescue, and after taking
Mrs. Brown, mother and Miss Ellis out
on pack saddles, and wading up tC
their waists in water, with the aid of {
rope and the power of the machine
we slowly pulled out on dry ground
with a sigh of relief.
when We did get on the Savannah
road, we went in at forty miles al

able of taking care of himself, but
with such darge family dependent
on him he is playing a losing game.
In the family is the mans old
mother. about so years of age, blind
and helpless: an elderly daughter,
seriously i'll with heart trouble and
married 10 a man in the last stages
of consumption. There are also sew
eral young children. Without bed
clothing, money or food this family
was forced to exist under the trees
and lay on the rough. rocky ground.
In speaking Of his case, the Mis-
sourian said: Il didn't ask your

from a country where the people
will lend a helping hand to those
who are temporarily down and out.
The day of the fire we saved but
little. and having no insurance on

had. The mayor and some of the
police came TO me and said that, be-
eing as had lost my all the city
would take care of my family until |
could fin dwork or until my other
son In law got his money from the
Northern Pacific railroad. They
took the women and children to the
Cosmopolitan hotel, saying they
would give them supper. room and
breakfast. They did. The supper
consisted of sandwich.
Myself and my two sons In law
slept here on the ground. which was
no hardship to me or Mr.. Collins,
but as for King who is sick with
consumption, thought he would die
during the night. At 10 O'Clock the
next morning | went to the city hall
and found my family had had moth

them that he would give them moth

just large enough for rat to crawl
through. Put some shelled corn
in the bottom of the jar and close
the mouth with a board weighted
down with a stone.
The rats will crawl through the

owing to the slippery glass sides
will be unable to climb out. Lift
the jar out of the ground every day
and let the dog get busy.

BURNS AND NELSON
WOULD BOTH COME BACK

New York.-There are two more
prominent figures in the pugilistic
world who will try to come back. They
are Battling Nelson and Tommy
Burns. Nelson wants to take his old
time light weight laurels from Ad VOL
CAST But at this point a new ele-
ment arises. Wolgast has been prac-
tically out of the game so long 1t Is
a question whether he can come back
himself or not
There Is a possibility that Bill Lang
and Ketchel will meet in New York
within a week or two. A match was
arranged between them, but II was
doubtful. owing to the vagaries of Mr..
Ketchell who won a potful of money
on Johnson and who doesn't feel like
fighting. Stanley may also expert
ence some difficulty in coming back.
Burns important fight is his battle
with Sam Langford on Labor day.
Big fight men are agreed that the
winner OF the Burns-Langford fight
is entitled to the next crack at john
son.
This coming back question has got
to be the most important interroga-
ton in the gae. The death of boxing
has been temporarily forgotten in the
discussions whether this fighter or
that can come back.

BUT LITTLE WHEAT
IS CHANGING HANDS

Though the harvest season has been
in progress in this vicinity for several
weeks. very little wheat Is being sold
\ few small lots have been disposed
of but it is not believed that a single
sale has yet been made on the basis
of the present market quotations
which are about rs cents per bushel
The growers seem to feel that the
prices will be better in a few weeks
while the buyers seem to be content
to wait a short time before entering
the field actively.
But though there has been no
wheat selling, large quantities of bar
ley have changed hands. The high
price of the old crop made those who
use barley, inclined to wait for the
new crop with the result that several
thousand bushels have been sold as
fast as harvested. The ruling price
has been one dollar though there were
some early sales made at figures high
er than that amount.
