Opinions rs TO the length of time the
foot has remained exposed to the burn
ing sun of summer and tho rains of
winter vary from two to twenty years
with different individuals who have
inspected it. The sole of the shoe and
the leather of tie heel have crumbled
away, leaving 1nly the rows of nails
projecting like the fangs Of hungry
wolf. The bohes of the foot are i'll IL
good state Of pr .servation, and to offset
the appearance of great age given by
the shrunken leather the remains of
the sock are fairly we'll preserved. The
eyelets for laclng still remain in the

What story of grim suffering was
closed by the death of him whose only
history is written thus. Perhaps the

the wilderness ut barren rocks to perish
miserably of exposure and starvation,

ONE LEGGED
BICYCLE IS
RECOVERED
Charles H. Billings Wheel
Is Returned to Him When
Finder Reads of It's Loss
in Times; Person Who
Stole It Makes Discovery.

The man who stole c. H. Billings
bicycle did not realize that it is a one
legged machine otherwise they proba-
bly, would not have stolen it. This fact
was pretty thoroughly established this
morning when Mr.. Harter of Waltham
street discovered the bicycle in the
swamp near his place, and having seen
the article in the newspaper, presumed
that it belonged to Billings
Billings stated today that he is of
the opinion that the thief who stole
the bicycle did so without noticing that
is only has one pedal. Then after
mounting the wheel he probably con-
cluded that the best thing for him to do
would be TO ride away with it.
After mature reflection he probably
decided that if he made any effort to
remodel the wheel he would be detect
ed as the thief, and If he rode it he
would also be detected sooner or lat
er. This made it advisable TO throw
the wheel. away. and it was found to-
day.
Billings is very glad TO get his wheel
back again and is grateful TO Mr.. Hart
er for restoring it to him after he had
found it, Billings will now go on his
way rejoicing-when the weather mod

estimated cost of the new building will
be $4,000.
Another vacant lot will be elimin-
ated from the South Holman street

these new business houses will have
the effect of concentrating the busi-

point of view, he thought the plan was
rather a visionary one.
Said Mr.. Fitzgerald, This is not a
convention town. Hammond is posi-
lively lacking in proper hotel facili-
ties. If 1000, 1000 or 5000 old soldiers
came TO the city it will mean that they
will have to be taken into the homes
of the residents of the city and en-
tertaineds'
Hundreds of them might not be pro-
vided with the proper accommodations.
and then, instead of giving Hammond
a desirable kind of advertising, they
would roast the city from one end of
the state to the other.
Hammond's commercial importance
will not make much of an impression
on these men. They will measure Ham
mond by its hotels and this city has
