She locked the $5 in drawer, she
put the cat in a basket, and, as she

chase on his arm, she said:
"I'll do the best can for you about

the coins of this country. He also
said that as soon as the government

word of good cheer and lived on the
sunny side of the street.
James O'Riley was born in tht
county of Mead, ireland, in 1920,
where he remained unit! he was %
years of age when he came to America.
He landed in New York City on July
8, 1843, and THAT city was having a
Fourth of July celebration. AS it was
the first that Mr.. O'Kiley ever saw
such demonstration, he became
quite excited over the hub-bub of the
days doings and when the sky rockets
were shot off in the evening he was
really alarmed and did not know what
to think about it.
At the commencement of the Mexi-
can war he enlisted in the New YORK
First Regiment volunteers under the
command of Capt. Wagley. His COM
pany went to Philadelphia by boat,
where it boarded a sailing vessel bound
for Monterey, California. They were
over six months on the journey as the
boat had to go around by the way OF
Cape Horn. Several storms were en-
countered and while crossing the line
two masts were broken and the boat
was compelled to lay at Rio Janeiro,
Brazil, for two weeks waiting for a
man of war to come so as to get some
new masts. After arriving at Mont
Grey, California, the first real battle
life was commenced, as a fight TOOK
place. Two other battles in Lower
California were also fought. The COM
pany was finally sent to San Jose,
California, where they did patrol duty
until the close of the war, when they
were shipped back to Monterey and
discharged.
At this time the gold fever had
struck California and Mr.. O'Kiiey ana
a number of his comrades went to the
gold mines. First they procured three
yoke of oxen and purchased SIX
months provisions from the govern
ment. The next move was obtaining
a wagon. A large tree was cut down
and the vehicle was made from that.
The wheels were just the round blocks
with straight piece of wood running
through the center. When the axles
became dry, one of the men had TO
grease them or they would catch ahre'
When they arrived at the mines, the
oxen were killed and salted but alter
two or three days the meat began TO
spoil. Then seeing that they couiu
not have any corn beef they thougnt
they would have dry beef. So they
cut the beef into strips and hung II
upon the trees where the sun Woulc

O6iS Game
Warden Met
His MQfC6

Game Warden D. M. Cranston of
Madison having received word that a
deer had been captured near Richland
Center went to that city. The deer
seemed to be injured and the parties
capturing the animal did not know
what to do. 1t seems that the deer
lad gotten in the river and owing to a
high bank on one side and ice on the
other was unable TO get out. The
animal was found by George Duell
and with the help of neighoor was
rescued from the water and placed in
barn. The game Warden's depart
ment was notified and Mr. Cranston
sent out to investigate. He states the
deer was bleeding some about the
head, but seemed to be able to take
care of itself. The deer was penned up
in barn and it was thought best to
liberate him. The boards were knock
ed off the pen but the deer refused to
come out. Mr.. Crauston entered the
stall and had gotten behind the deer
to scare it out when the animal
showed fight and made vicious lunge
at the game warden catching his hand
and forcing it against some boards in a
vigorous manner. Mr.. Cranston's
hand was badly injured but no bones
broken. The deer then fled from the
barn and soon disappeared over the
hill. The animal was fine buck
weighing close to 150.-Richland Gen.

SEARCH FOR AUTOIST
IN MYSTERY MURDER
OF ART STUDENT GIRL

Chicago, Oct. with the finding
of an abandoned automobile in Palos
Park, the police say, today, they have
redoubled their energies in the search
for the mysterious 'sWilson'' whose
promise of a position drew Miss Ida
G. Leigson, an art student, to the
prairie near the clearing where she
was garroted, early Sunday after a
struggle.
The automobile was stolen before
o'clock, Saturday afternoon, from
jackson Park. It was shortly before
this hour that Wilson te1ephoued
the residence where Miss Leigson
roomed. The call was in response to
an advertisement for employment as
a nurse.
The police have ascertained that
Miss Leigson was met by a man in
black automobile when she alight-
ed from the Western avenue car The
tonneau of the automobile, recovered
in Pa1OS Park, indicated there had
been violent struggle.
