President Huerta. Mr.. Lind's mis-

is altogether likely that President
Huerta will refuse to recognize him
in an official capacity. Mr.. Lind
may. however, secure some reliable
information that will be Of value to
the government at Washington in
determining what course to pursue
with reference to that God-forsaken
country. Dispatches from the city
Of Mexico would seem to indicate
that Mr.. Lind will not meet with a
friendly reception when he arrives

Seven Steers Die From Blackleg.

Six steers belonging to Fred
Newton and one owned by George
Hurley, who rents Mr.. Newton IS
farm, recently died from the effects
of blackleg. There were SO young
steers in the herd and one morning
last week Mr.. Hurley found one of
them dead in the pasture. Not
much attention was paid to this
until another steer was discovered
to have died. Then DR.. Neumann
was summoned, who diagnosed the
disease as blackleg and immedia tely
sent to ST. Paul for quantity Of
vaccine. Five steers, however, died
before the serum was injected and
two after. The other steers have
not contracted the disease and the
vaccine will render them immune
In the west it is customary to
inoculate all young cattle with this
serum when they are turned out to
pasture in the springtime, and it is
doubtless a good idea. Blackleg is a
highly fatal disease but it seems to
affect only young cattle.
DR.. Neumann believes the disease
is caused by germ which attacks
cattle up to the age of about two
years. An encyclopedia owned by
Fred Newton states that it attacks
only young cattle which are turned
into a rich pasture when thin and
permitted to fatten too rapidly.
The steers which died were the fat
test in the herd.

BOYS HAVE BADLUCK
In a Farcical Game at Monticello the
Princeton Team Comes Out
Small End of Horn.
Cambridge Also Outplays Bill DoaHe's
TrOubadours But the Score is
Particularly Close One.

The trip to Monticello last Thurs
day proved disastrous one for the
Princeton ball team and they were
handed the short end of an Is to II
game. The score would indicate
that there were weird happenings in
this game, and this was the case, for
it was one of the biggest farces ever
pulled off on ball lot. The players
on both sides entered into the
spirit of the occasion. and tried to
Guido each other in the fun making.
Porter was introduced as the leading
comedian for the Princetonian Trou
badours, and it took him only three
and half innings to pull off his
little sketch entitled "Casey's Re-
venge.' Joe refused to respond to
an encore at the conclusion of his
little stunt although the Monticello
crowd and players applauded his
work throughout. Handsome Harry,
commonly known hereabouts as
Harry Davis, was next introduced
as the only true and original broncho
buster from the far west, and he at
tempted to ride head on to the Mon
ticello bunch while the next pitcher
was being warmed up. Davis had
not pitched ball for several years
and the Monticello nightriders fell
on his delivery for several healthy
wallOps, one of which sailed over
the canvas fence in left field with
outfielder Doane in hot pursuit.
Going at full speed the stubby one
was unable to stop at the barrier, so,
with one mad spring, he dove head
long over the canvas just to add to
the gaiety of the occasion. But be-
fore the ball could be thrown back
into the center of hostilities the
Monticello slugger had raced home.
The next stunt the Troubadours
pulled off was to put 'Little Eva'
Skahen in the box to take the place
of Davis, who went back to his old
stand at third base. Evidently
Uncle Toms Cabin had been played
at Monticello before, for the home
talent showed their disapproval of
this act by scoring four more runs
on a combination of two hits, a
walk and several bad errors on the
part Of the infeld
In the sixth inning Lieutenant
Smith was marched out from the
reserves to turn the tide of battle
and drive back the vicious Month
cello assault. And Smithie proved
to be the hero Of the day, for during
the three innings he was on the
firing line not a man hit safe or
even got as far as first base, and out
Of the nine batters who faced him in
the three innings four went out by
the strikeOut route.
Herr Buckmeister played the lead
ing role for the home boys, and
although he was touched up for a
total of II hits, he kept them fairly
well scattered and pitched good ball
in the pinches, thus keeping the in
yaders' total down to II scores,
which ordinarily is enough to win
half a dozen ball games Further
detailing of this game would be not
only d breach Of etiquette but would
be bordering close to a violation OF
the penal code.

Joe Mossman succeeded in making
the highest score. 1t is not often
that Joe carries off the high honors,
therefore we are pleased to be
afforded an opportunity to chronicle
this event. Martin Belsem and
Oscar Erickson were the two lowest
men, but this is nothing unusual and
unnecessary of comment. In conse-

tending the ball game there were not
many present at the shoot. The

actually located a spring Of pure fresh
water.
In America, we have often heard OF
the magical rod that possesses the
power of discovering hidden oil or
minerals. These rods, invented by
an ingenious "get-rich-quick" genius,
we're nothing more nor less than q
means of separating gullible folks
from their ready cash. 1t is because
of this that many Americans, reading
of this wonderful divining rod, may
be skeptical, yet the truth remains
that M. Peleprat discovered not only
one spring whose very existence had
been unheard Of, but number of
them
The secret is one with which he
does not care to part. The rod is of
metal; nothing out of the ordinary
excepting that 1t is sensitized. It is
suspended from loop attached to any
part of the garment of the wearer,
who holds both ends firmly in his
hands. When the searcher arrives at
a place where spring is to be found,
the rod undergoes a series of violent
vibrations, similar to those recorded
by seismograph when an earthquake
thousands of miles away takes place.
