to be about most of the time. He was
able to walk about the house and ward
during the day and while his family r,-
ilized that he was in very weakened
condition. yet no one susp ,cted that
death was so close at hand. He retir-
ed early in the evening and his son dis.
covered him at about seven O'Clock,
ihlle yet alive, but he died a few min.
ties later. James McEvoy was borr
IN Ireland in 1870, where he resid, d
with his his parents until he was abou,
ight years Of age, when he came IL

sheriff of Sarpy county. of New Ray
Ter, Colorado. He Is survived by his
aged wife and by the four sons, also by
one brother. Patrick McEvoy of Omaha.
in the early days Of Nebraska Mr.. Nc
Evoy engaged in freighting across the
)lains from Omaha to Denver when the
tate was nothing but wilderness and
when every trip was attended with ex.
tereme danger of determination by the
Indians. Later he joined the lst Ne

saw no active service, aside from sew
.ral skirmishes with hostile Indians who
sought to invade the settlement of east

Tas organized and layed out he sold his
t1rm at what was then considered big
ricc and purchased the farm east o.
rretna upon which he resided continu.
Isly since March I, 1882. He was
uccessful farmer and stock raiser and
syed by comfortable competence
hich he enjoyed curing the latt r days
his life. He was man of a rather
net and retiring disposition but in the
hole list of his acquaintanccs there is
IT one who can be found who was not

POULTRY RAISING IS
Becoming local FAD
MANY TULSA PEOPLE FIND
PLEASURE AND PROFIT IN
CARING FOR HENS.

Poultry raising as q fine art seems
TO be on the Increase in Tulsa. In
all parts there are seen the neat,
clean brooders and chicken houses
with glass panes and red painted
sides. Within are seen husky blpeds
conpentedly picking or basbing in
the sun. The chicks chosen for such
raising are not the common type, but
are special breeds chosen for some
particular qualification. Some are
chosen for their ability to produce
eggs, others for the fast growing
qualities. and other for the size to
which they attain.
With the opening OF spring the
work Of the city raiser Of poultry s
decidedly decreased. He now places
his brooders and houses out In the
sun, whereas before II was necessary
for him to keep them well protected
often in tho basement Of his dwelling
Now the fluffy broods OF little chicks
can be turned out in the yard with
no danger of suffering from the cold
The breed of chickens that appeal
most to Tulsans seems to be the
good old Plymouth Rocks 1t Is said
that these chickens have all the
qualities Of the later and more spec
iallzed breeds. They are said TO he
good layers and to develop into big
birds In remarkably short space OF
time.

Special JUDGE Frees
ONE IN LIQUOR Case
JUDGE HOUSTON GIVES WAY
TO JUDGE SLACK.

Because the Alcorn Hotel aggrega-
tion had fileo mandamus proceedings
IN the district court declaring Judge
Houston biased and prejudiced," and
asking that special Judge be ap-
pointed to hear the several cases pend
ing against the proprietors for H.
licit sale of liquor, the bench was
surrendered yesterday to Judge
Slack In the hearing Of Ben Green,
charged with violating the city liquor
ordinance.
Green was arrested about a month
ago In a raid on the Alcorn, and It
was shown In the testimony that
liquor transactions were made In the
place at the time. The inability Of
the officers to show that Green was
one of the proprietors of the place
lost the case for tho prosecution. Judge
Slack's deliberction lasted about ten
minutes in which time he had com
pleted a brief bench statement to the
effect that he wanted to renedr YER
dict above criticism. He then pro-
nounced Green not guilty. and the
vision of fine Of 800 and a Jail sem
tence Of 80 days floated into nothing

On several occasions there has

LAYS
ON MOST FAT
whatKind of Produce
Largest Amount of Weight
IN Hogs Is Difficult
Problem.
CBy ]. r. wAGGoNER)

A Kentucky farmer who keeps about
100 hogs on his farm every year asks:
What kind of forage will produce the
most fat?"
This is rather a difficult question
and will depend upon the time of year
and quality of forage, but when con.
sidered from a fat producing stand
point, We would feel safe in making
the assertion that cow peas would
give the best results for producing
fat, but If we were asked what was
the best forage we would say alfalfa.
The whole question depends upon
tie locality, but with any kind OF
hog pasture 1t will pay to feed some
grain feed to harden the meat and
give it more desirable flavor. There
is nothing that will produce as rapid
gain In hogs as alfalfa and corn.

litical game in a quiet. dignified way,
being finally rewarded with an ap-
pointment as commissioner Of PEN
sions.
After two years in Washington he
returned to Kansas and took up his
residence in Kansas City. Kan. Tiring
of city life, he retired shortly before
his death to Sungold Section. a fine
farm he acquired when he first came
to Kansas, and there he told his
friends he hoped ito die in the open"
His plans to die on the farm failed.
for he passed away soon after reach
ing Colorado. where he had been in
the habit of spending the summers at
a place he owned on the Cascade.
He was well entitled to the appoint
ment of pension commissioner. for
during the Civil war he had a bril-
liant career covering four years and
ending as captain of a troop in the
Seventh Iowa cavalry.
For one brief period Captain Ware
was in the newspaper business. This
was in Burlington, Ia, where for n
time, he was assistant editor of the
Hawkeye and started that paper on
its road to celebrity as funny paper.
When Captain Ware retired Bob"
Burdette succeeded him and the paper
became much quoted for its funny say
ings.
Ware was born in 1841 in Hartford.
Conn.,, and was married in 1874 to
Miss Jeanette B. Huntington For
many years he was a familiar figure
in Topeka during session of the Kan
sas legislature and his wit and humor
made him much beloved. both by poll
cal friends and opponents. He was a
member of the legislature in the early
sos.
When he left the office of pension
commissioner he wanted to show his
appreciation of 12 heads of depart
ments under him. He bought IL hand
some pieces of silver. exactly alike.
called the IL men into his office where
the souvenirs were lined up on a table
and said: Gentlemen. You have
been good to me. Help yourselves"
The appointment of Ware to be
commissioner of pensions was due to
Roosevelt's admiration for his poems.
In 1900, when Roosevelt was on his
way to the southwest to attend a re-
union Of Rough Riders. he expressed
desire to meet "Ironquill' and
message was sent to Ware asking him
to meet the train and travel with the
president He did SO and the friend
ship between the Rough Rider colonel
and the frontier poet was promptly
evident and sincere. Three years later
Ware was appointed commissioner of
pensions.
He leaves widow, one son. Eugene
F. Ware. Jr.. and three daughters. Mrs.
Abbie Neiss Of New York, Mrs. s. r.
Nelson and Miss Amelia Ware.

KANSAS LOSES P0E7
Recent Death of %lronquiII' Re-
moves States Laureate.
Modest Verse Writer Who Assumed
Pen Name for Fear People Would
Not Hire "FooI Poet"
as Attorney.

Fort Scott, Kan.-Kansas lost her
poet laureate when Eugene F. Ware
died at his summer home in Colorado
and western literature lost one of Its
brightest geniuses.
Ware, known as "Ironquill." was
harness maker, lawyer, politician and
poet. In the minds of his friends the
last should come first, but personally
he always belittled his ability as a
poet. and instead of being proud of
his success he spoke disparagingly Of
his verses. In this he was alone.
He came to this city in 1867 and be-
gan to work at his trade as harness
maker. A competitor was advertising,
SO Ware had to do the same. He went
his competitor several better by writ
ing his advertisements in verse. This
attracted attention and he went to To-
peka, where he wrote poetry and
studied law, keeping his identity as q
poet under cover. His explanation for
this was: 81 was afraid people
wouldn't hire a fool poet for law
yer"
There were plenty of harness max
ers, but very few lawyers in Fort
Scott and that was the reason Ware
deserted the stitching horse Of his
shop and took up the study of law. In
his profession he was successful. As
he practiced law he played the po-
