During his stay at the hotel the

LEOPARD WAS ONLY A WOLF
Missouri Girls Description Of Scrub
Animal Causes Neighborhood
Army TO Kill It.

Kansas City, MOTOR a few days
Kansas City supposed that it was be-
ing terrorized by a ferocious leopard,
but 1t turned out to be only scrub
gray wolf, a good deal more fright
ened than frightful.
Its Identification and extinction were
brought about by 20 men armed with
a great assortment of weapons and
about a thousand humans bearing no
arms but making much noise.
1t was after several chickens and
dogs had met untimely ends that lit
tie girl ran upon the wolf in one OF
Kansas City's famous rayines. 1t
snapped at her, by way of informing
her that it wished her to go away.
She went home and told her mother
that a terrible animal had attacked
her. The neighbors were called in
and from the description of the beast
gwen by the little girl 1t was conclud'
ed that 1t was probably an icthyosau'
rus or maybe worse. 1t was finally
identified as a leopard. A hunt was or
ganized and everybody in the Holly
street neighborhood took part.
They made so much fuss about 1t
that the wolf came out OF hiding to
see what the trouble was. The 1920
took after him and he ran up on the
roof Of Joseph Carey's house. The 20
fired a yolley and the thousand shout
ed, and the wolf died. 1t may have
been the bullets and it may have been
the noise that was fatal.

THE DISTRIBUTION OF MONEY
Treasury Sends Different Kinds and
Denominations to Different Sections.

Huge bundles OF crisp. new bills,
principally OF the 81 and So denomina-
tons, are being stack away daily now
in the vaults OF the United States
Treasury. N anticipation Of the heavy
demand that viii be mad from all
sections of the country when the crops
begin 10 more next month. The pa
per money situation during the crop
moving period. as viewed from the
money making angle at Washington,
is an int aresting study. The present
demand from the cotton belt IS for $40
and 500 bills. and the Treasury does
not attempt TO give reason for such
requests.
The currency demand now coming
in from Cincinnati IS FOR 81 bills. and
officials OF the Treasury are unable
to account for the local need for that
denomination. The needs of the Wes-
tern and Northwestern sections for
handling the wheat. corn and other
grain crops have not Yet manifested
thems Ives. The stacks Of small bills
are reaching big proportions in the
Treasury vaults. but the officials Of
the finance department OF the govern
ment expect to see the supply quickly
depleted after the lst OF September.
u n
the Southern states has produced
some amusing situations in Treasury
circles. Several years ago the New
Orleans subtreasury sent out through
th,. cotton states flood OF brand new
silver dollars, coined that year and
fresh from the Treasury vaults. The
money percolated to the outlying re
gions. and came into the hands OF the
laborerS and cotton pickers. who had
never seen money fresh from the
mint.
Cries of counterfeit" went up from
one section after another. and thou
sands of the new dollars We're refused
by those to whom they were offered
in payment for services. The secret

TROUBLES SHOWER
ON THIEF'S VICTIM

Robbed of all his best wearing ap-
parel and falling from an electric car
while going to police headquarters to
report the theft was the experience
related in the receiving hospital last
night by William F. Dickey while the
police surgeons were reducing frac-
ture of the left collar bone which he
suffered.
Troubles never come singly," stated
Dickey, as he WINGED with pain, and
then he related his story. He had
been working yesterday, and when he
returned last night to his room, 635
Los Angeles street, he found every
thing in a chaotic state. Investigation
proved that all his clothing, including
his underwear, had been stolen during
his absence.
He had no clothes left but his work
ing suit, and at once boarded car
to report the theft to police headquar-
ters. In his anxiety to reach the sta
ton he fell from an electric car at
Temple block. At the receiving hos
pital II was found he had suffered a
fracture of the collar bone and nu-
merous body injuries.
He was able to inform the detectives
of his misfortune, and stated that
other rooms in the house had been
burglarized. Detectives Murray and
Mcnamara were detailed on the case.
Dickey, who is 62 years old, is not Sc
riously injured, but he mourns for the
loss of his "Sunday-go-to-m o-meeting"

Especial to The Herald. ]

DAYTONA, Fla, March 16.-EXclu-
sive in the speed trial events today
which were put on to take the place of
the Oldheld-De Palma match race
which was called off because De Palma
broke a piston and shipped his car to
New York, Barney Oldfeld proved him
self the speed king of the world by
driving a mile with his 200-horse power
Benz in 27.33 seconds. This is at an
average of nearly 132 miles an hour,
and clips 7-100 seconds from the record.
Oldield proved his class by breaking
the standing start mile record of 41.26S
seconds made by Hemmery with the
same car at Brooklands, England. Old
field made the standing mile in 4053
seconds. Oldfeld said he Travelled much
faster in the two separate attempts for
the flying kilometer, but the tripping
device did not work the recording ma
chine.
The veteran driver said he was hold
ing his greatest speed effort for the
Silometer. Official Timer Warner of
the A. A. A., with his mechanical timer,
had charge of the timing. Ralph De
Palma was appointed representative of
! the contest board and was in charge of

George Robertson did not make cred
