BOTH FEET AND HANDS FROZEN
Man Had Wandered Around for More
Than Ten Days Without Care and
When Found by County Agent Condi-
Is Such He May Not Recover.
(From Monday S Daily

| Dying from lock jaw, Peter Lievens,
p man SO years of age, who came to
Wisconsin from East Moline, H., was
found seeking temporary shelter at the
blacksmith shop Of James Nielsen in
the village of Somers on Sunday aft
ernoon, and while there is little or no
/ chance of the recovery of the man..
County Agent Jones arranged to have
the man sent to the AleXian Brothers
hospital in Chicago in order that he
might be given every possible care DUR
| ing the few remaining hours of life.
When the man left Kenosha his laws
were locked and the physicians at the
hospital declared that he could live but
q few days. Lievens had been living in
this section of Wisconsin for number
of months and he had been employed
by the Rock County Sugar Beet com
Ipany to aid in the handling of beets at
Corliss. The man had been working on
4
worked until ten days ago. Working
with the frozen beets he had frozen
both Of his feet and both Of his hands
until the ends of his fingers had be-
come numb and matterated. One of the
man s feet was in an awful condition.
The man quit work ten days ago and
managed to make his way to the vii
lage Of Somers He had a little money
left from his earning and for time
he stayed at one of the saloon board
ing houses at Somers His money gave
out on Sunday and County Agent Jones
was advised that he had been thrown
out into the streets to die. AT the time
the man was found he was huddled up
under horse blanket in the Nielsen
blacksmith shop. DR.. Betting of Som
ers was called to attend him and after
an examination the doctor found that
gangrene had already set in on one of
the legs and the man gave every indi-
cation of the approaching attack of
lock jaw. AS soon as possible arrange
ments were completed to have the man
sent to the hospital. Lievens condition
was such that he had ceased to suffer
any pain from his frozen feet and
hands and he seemed to be all but I'M
conscious.
It is claimed that the man had no
treatment from the time he left Corliss
until he was found by the Somers peo-
pie on Sunday. His condition indicated
that his frozen feet and hands had not
been treated by a physician and the
few people who knew him claimed that
he thought that the awful sores would
heal without medical treatment. The
man is supposed to have a family llv-
ing at East Moline and efforts are be-
ing made TO get into communication
with them and have them go to the
man at the hospital in Chicago.

COLONY PLAN LOST
Zion City Residents Give UP
Scheme to Remove to
Southern State.
PEOPLE FAIL TO FAVOR MOVE

Rupert Deveraux, leader of the fac
ton in Zion City, which comprises the
original followers of the late DR.. Dow
lie, has just received one of the most
unique gifts on record, a newspaper
plant located in Chicago. 1t was Civ
en- him by wealthy member of his
following who lives in Chicago.
Just how this man acquired the lit
tie plant Mr.. Deveraux does not know
but he says that this man called him
into his Office a few days ago and
turned the plant over to him.
. Goodness knows what will do
with it, he said.
Mr.. Deveraux says that it is posi-
bic that in the future he will arrange
to print his publication, the Restora-
ton Host, on it's own press, but he is
not sure of this fact as yet.
In view of the fact that he is soon
to leave for the south where he is to
establish a new city, for his followers,
he thinks that he may take the equip
ment with him and set up the plant
there.
[ Mr.. Deveraux has just returned from
a trip to Alabama, where he has ac-
qnired large tract of ground on which
he intended to establish city. This
plan so far as Alabama is concerned,
be says, has been practically dropped
as a result of conditions he found there
upon his visit. He says that he look
ed into the laws of Alabama and found
that they would not be very lenient
with the proposed colony.
II don't know exactly what [ will
do, but [ have almost decided to give
UP building a city in Alabama and
think now that / will build it in Flori-
da, where conditions appear TO be much
better" he said today.
When questioned with regard to the
parts of the state laws which would
not be favorable to his proposed colony
in Alabama, Mr.. Deveraux said that
the laws with regard to colored people
are very stringent in Alabama ard this
| is an Objectionable feature to him be-
cause there are several colored people
in his following and he hoped to enlist
many more after the city had been
established.
He says that it is his intentisn to
take trip into Florida in the near
future to look into conditions and Sc
lect site that would be suitable for
the city he plans to found.
Whether or not he decided to locate
in that state he says that the land in
Alabama will not be given up, that it
will be retained for other purposes.
He does not know exactly for what
purpose he will use it, but says that
one thing is assured-that it will not
be used as the site for the new Zion
City.

SELECTED QUEER PETS
GRIZZLY BEAR CUBS TRAINED RY
TRAPPER.
Amusing and Playful After Their Cap
turer Had Conquered the Call of
the Wild-As Easy to Train
As Any Dog.

One day while wandering in the
pine woods on the slope of Mount
Meeker l came upon two young grizz-
Iy bears. Though they lodged about
as lively chickens, / at last cor
nered them in a penlike pocket of
fallen trees.
Getting them into a sack was one
of the liveliest experiences 1 ever had.
Though small and almost starved,
these little orphans proceeded to
"chew me up" after the manner of
big grizzlies, as is told of them in
books. After an exciting chase and
tussle l would catch one and thrust
him into the sack. In resisting he
would insert his claws into my
clothes, or thrust them through the
side of the SACK then, while | was
trying to tear him loose, or to thrust
him forcibly in, he would lay hold Of
a finger, or take bite in my leg.
Whenever he bit I at once dropped
him, and then all began over again.
Their mother had been killed a few
days before l found them; SO, of
course, they were famished and in
need of a home; but so bitterly did
they resist my efforts that ] barely
succeeded in taking them. Though
hardly as large as a collie when he is
at his prettiest, they were nimble
athletes.
At last I started home, the sack
over my shoulder, with these lively
Ursus horribilis in the bottom of it.
Their final demonstration was not
needed to convince me of the extra
ordinary power of their jaws. Never
theless, while going down a steep
slope one managed to bite into my
back through sack and clothes, so eff
fectively that responded with a yell.
Then l fastened the sack at the end
of long pole which l carried across
my shoulder, and | was able to travel
the remainder of the distance to my
cabin without another attack in the
rear.
Of course the youngsters did not
need to be taught to eat. l simply

of milk, and the little red tongues at
once began to ply; then raw eggs and
bread were dropped into the basin
There was no hesitation between
courses; they simply gebbled the food
as long as l kept it before them.
Jenny and Johnny were pets be-
fore shutdown. Though both were
alert, Johnny was the wiser and more
cheerful of the two. He took train
ing as readily as a collie or shepherd
dog, and I have never seen any dog
more playful. All bears are keen or
wit, but he was the brightest one of
the wild folk that have ever known.
He grew rapidly, and ate me almost
out Of supplies. We were intimate
friends in less than month, and
spent much time playing and talking
with him. One of the first things |
taught him was, when hungry, to
stand erect with arms extended al
most horizontally, with palms for
ward. l also taught him to greet me
