$40 to $25 an acre, his eye is caught
by one reading something like this:
Forty acres. all under cultivation.

LaSalle, Jan. 25.-Dashing along
one of the principal streets of La
Sale, the frightened horse, with the
boy in the saddle, had been rendered
almost frantic by the cheers of team
sters hauling gravel from the pits
north of town. The lad was riding
to LaSalle to see his father before
the $3.50 train arrived, and had urg-
ed the horse to high rate of speed,
The teamsters thoughtlessly cheer
ed and yelled at the small rider and
the result was that the horse speed
lily got beyond the boys control.
Mrs. Carpenter had been helping
in the bank during the afternoon and
was on her way to the posto1ice.
The streets were crowded with teams
and Just as she stepped from the
shelter of a wagon, the horse bore
down upon her Before she had time
to draw back she was hurled to the
ground and the horse dashed across
her PROSTATE body.
| Unconscious, she was carried to
doctors office and there everything
possible was done for her. Prompt
medical attendance was all that saw
ed her life, as her heart had stopped
beating, and it was feared that life
was extinct. Some five hours later
Ishe regained consciousness and wa
carried to her home. After delir
ious night. she again relapsed into
Inconsistencies this morning and he'
condition is critical.
Her mother, Mrs. Nichols, is eH-
pected from Gothenburg, Neh., to-

BABBLED ABOUT
BURIED TREASURES
Search viii Be Made For Sup
posed Hoard Of Hermit

Melrose, Mass, Jan. 16.-George
H. Ireson, the hermit of Melrose, was
found dead in the little shanty in
which he had lived for twenty five
years. He had not been seen for a
week and how many days ago he died
or how long he suffered in solitude
in his rude tumbledown house no one
is able to conjecture.
Ireson was 78 years old and died
from old age and a complication OF
diseases. Whether Ireson was ever
married has never been known even
to the few people who have spoken to
him.
Two years ago the hermit created
much excitement by babbling about a
box of buried treasures while he was
in delirium. He said that it was bur
led beneath tree in the woods here.
Many people still believe that the her.
nit has gold hidden about the old
hut, and that a search will reveal
many hundreds of dollars.

BOTH PINCHOT MEN
taft Appoints Graves and Potter to
Head Forestry Service

Washington, Jan. 10. President
Taft has appointed Henry S. Graves,
director of the Yale forest school, as
forester of the United States to sue
coed Clifford Pinchot. He also ap-
pointed Albert F. Potter, at present
acting forester, as associate forester.
The new forester and the associate
are both known as PinchOt men Both
have served under Pinchot and both
are in sympathy with his administrat-
i've policy.
1t was largely through Pinchot's eff
forts that the Yale forest school was
established. and Graves went from
the post of assistant chief of the divi-
sion of forestry under Pinchot to be-
come director of the school IN 1900
He had served in the forestry div
sion for two years.
Mr.. Potter, the new associate for
ester, who succeeds Overton w. Price
is native of California, and became
a member of the forestry staff nine
years ago. He has had Jurisdiction
over all grazing privileges within the
preserves. He is thoroughly informed
of all the policies and practices of the
forest service.
