OKOvILLE, Cal. Nov. S.-Bill Hicks,
native OF Blggs and a character OF
country wide fame. Is "A most resource
full fellow, and he displayed sagacity
when he sauntered into local saloon
and pawned his wooden foot for a
drink.
Hicks lost his left pedal extremity
some time ago In railroad accident
and In a period OF unexpected prosper

or his bankroll in an artificial foot,
which was a great aid To him IN
knocking about the country. Hicks was
broke ana very thirsty when he entered
the saloon.
The idea OF getting a drink on credit
OF his foot struck Bill as altogether
reasonable and the bartender never
hesitated to accept the ofrer,

OXEN AGAIN ON
THE KANSAS PLAINS.

1t has been long time since the
oxen had to bear the burdens at the
pIow but from the present prospects
the oxen will be popular substi-
tute for horses in western Kansas
this fall. The farmers lave lost
heavily among their horses and the
time for fall seeding is here. The
horses are still dying and many OF
the farmers do not have the money
to take chances on stocking up
again now. Such counties as Ham
ilton, Finney and the five railroad
less counties are in hard straights.
Dispatches from these counties say
that the oxen are to be yoked to
the plow this fall and that the work
will be pushed as fast as possible
under the handicap.

HONGREN FLIES AT RATE

Flying at the rate OF a mile a

aviator, who flies at the Dickinson
county fair next month, thrilled a
crowd Of 5000 persons at Belle
viIle in two sensational air trips.
The bird man was IN the air = total
OF s5 minutes. making one flight OF
20 minutes and another Of 15 min
utes. He covered total distance
of s5 miles. and flew at q height
OF 1900 feet.
Both flights were made in fine
rain, which fell the greater part
OF the afternoon. The aviator,
however, did not seem to be hindered
by the unfavorable conditions. His
aeropIane glided through the air
smoothly and was under perfect
control at all times. He will make
two more flights at Belleville today

MORE HOG CHOLERA.
Chapman and Enterprise Are In In-
fected Region.

The hog cholera which broke out
southeast Of Enterprise about two
weeks ago has spread to Chapman
and to few herds south of Abilene
The hogs are being yaccinatsd as
fast as the yeterinaries can get to
them and the disease is well In
hand. The largest looser 90 far
reported is G. H. Walker near En-
terprise, with 20 head dead. James
Riordan has lost 40 head and Mr..
Meyer and Bob Topliff are also heavy
losers. John Taylor of Chapman
will have 276 head Of hogs vacci-
mated tomorrow.
The price of vaccination varies
from twenty cents for small shoats
to two dollars for the largest hogs.
The price varies according to the
amo1nt of serum used and the serum
varies according to the weight of
the hog. The government receives
cent and half per cubic cent?
meter for the serum and the yeter-
mary is allowed a half cent for
the incubation. All the local veter-
inaries are kept busy. One veterin-
airy received s4OO worth of serum

GOING BUT NOT GONE.
Horse Disease Is Still at Work in
County.

The disease among the horses Is
not as bad as it was last week Dut
it is not gone yet by any means
One noticeable change in the condl-
tion of the disease however is the
fact that many Of the horses are
now getting well after they are at
tackled with the disease, where a
week to ten days ago practically
every horse died within a few hours
after the disease came.
George Uphem has a horse which
took sick a week ago Sunday but is
able to eat and drink now and Will
probably get well. Jesse King ana
George Buchenau have horses whicn
have been sick for almost a week
but are, now getting better and have
gone back, to feed. One OF the
Rnchenau horses has been sick q
week and is now practically well
while another horse in the same barn
took sick Saturday and died sun
day. Jack Robinson has had two
horses recover from the disease and
George Huffman has horse which
has been sick week and Is now
able to eat and drink. 1t is very
probable that the cooler weather has
had much to do with the change In
the disease in the last few days ana
with continued cold weather 1t Is
probable that the disease will be
stamped out altogether. George
Clemons and Charles Clemons lost
horse each on Monday.
A large number Of takers are at
work in the county now with cures
for the horses while the best ex-
perts in the state are not backward
ii saying that the disease has baffled
them and that they have no cure.
one man in the county is reported
to use coal oil on his horses and
other horses in the community until
ali the hair is taken off, even on
their tails. These fake doctors are
making big mohey and the farmers
seem to be taking almost any kind
az medicine to save their horses.
