Savannah, Ca, Sept. 2S-Mrs. Julia
Anderson of GAINESVILLE, s. c., who
claims to be the mother of the little
boy now held as Robert, son of Mr.
and Mrs. G. P. Dunbar of Opelousas,
La, whose kidnapping and subsequent
recovery made columns of news at the
time, has been found in a destitute
condition in this city. She is trying to
get to Columbia, Miss, to be present at
the trial in December of w. c. Walters,
held there on the kidnapping charge.
According to the woman, Walters
who is a peddler, kidnapped her little
boy, Bruce Anderson, at GAINESVILLE in
February, 1912, seven months before
the Dunbar child, whom Walters is
charged with kidnapping. The child
claimed by Mrs. Anderson. Mrs An
derson proposes to join forces with
Walters in his fight for acquittal
Little Robert Dunbar disappeared
from the home of his parents at Ope-
louso, La, August %, 1912. The child
taken from Walters and identified as
Robert Dunbar, is really her boy,
Bruce. Mrs. Anderson declares. She
does not attempt to explain the great
resemblance between the two children.
Her Sons Disappearance.
MY little boy, Bruce, disappeared
about February /, last year. she says.
AT the time I was caring for the
father and mother of this man, W. C.
Walters, at GAINESVILLE. He was at
home at the time and he took a great
fancy to my little boy The little
fellow seemed to love Walters too be-
cause the man was good to him. One
day Walters took Bruce to the home
nf af
heavy snowstorm which bound up
all the roads. Walters teIephoned to
me, and then wrote. saying that as
soon as the roads were open he would
return with the boy. That was the
last I ever heard of Walters and Bruce
until / got a telegram the following
April from newspaper men and attor-
neys in New Orleans, saying they had
found my little boy and asking that I
come to New Orleans and identity him.
They forwarded me a ticket.
'T left on the first train and was met
at Montgomery, Ala. by Paul Thomp-
son, owner of the New Orleans Item.
When we arrived at New Orleans they
carried me to the home of a Mrs.
Bilbo, where Bruce was staying.
Lad Ran to Meet Her.
THE first / saw of the boy was when
he ran out of the door to join the
nther little fellow in the yard. I
called him by his name and he turned
to meet me; but they would not let me
have him.
Later there was preliminary hear
ing for Walters. The little boy was
there. He tried to come to me then,
too, but again he was restrained. And
then they gave him to the Dunbars,
who took him on to Opelousa- They
took me to Opelousa, too. There was
another fight there to get my baby.
But they gave him to the Dunbars
again. The Dunbars tried to buy me
of. They offered me money to drop
all court proceedings and let them have

would at least know that her son would
wear the crown. She has declared that
she would sell her soul to reign as
queen. The tragic experiences Of her
sister, ex-Queen Amelia OF Portugal,
have not changed her mind in this
respect.
The arrival of the little Prince
Humbert to the King and Queen of
Italy In 1904, nine years after the
marriage of the Duchess of Aosta,
dashed all her hopes to the ground;
she has bee never since a sorely- en-

Old Joe Tinker is surely playing in
hard luck this season. Not long since
comment was made on the many mis-
fortunes he has had with the tailend,
or thereabouts, Reds, and misfortune
seems TO pursue him. When Joe had
run-in early ia the season with OF
to Knabe of the Phi1lies he was
heartily applauded by the fans, who
were glad to see it happen. Knabe,
1t seems, had it coming to him Now
there has been another dispute and
this time Tinker mixed up with Ma
ranville of Boston, both of them being
pretty well bunged up before they
were separated, and both of the an
gered disputants hav ebeen fined and
its unlikely that Joe will set the hand
he did at the time of his previous bat
tie. This time, it appears, there was
less aggravation.

The contented Life

All day 10 peace herd my geese. l
do not sigh for higher station; do
not yearn renown to tarn, to hear the
plaudits Of the nation. watch the
throng that moves along. and see the
fruits OF fierce endeavor-the faces
lined by beastly grind that comes to u
conclusion never. On jaded feet men
pace the street, the victims OF the
Grind's abuses; sad eyes are theirs and
many cares-and I'm coRtent to herd
my uooses. This modern life OF stress
and strife, this daily round OF eager
Questing, the chase for chink make
mortals think the minutes lost that's
spent 10 resting. All want 10 shine in
some fierce line. or Caesars be, or
Alexanders; aud so they strain both
soul and brain while <serenely herd
my ganders. Their nerves unstrung,
they all die young, exhausted by their
fretful journeys, and ere the bell has
tOlled their knell their wads are swip ped

Treatment Of Grasshoppers

The past summer has been UNUSUAL
ly free from ravages by Rrasshoppers,
but that IL no guarantee that there
will be M damage next year.
The wire farmer will use the fall
and winter months TO put In practice
methods Of contrib. The only way to
treat the grasshopper during the win.
ter is to pillow the ground where the
pods and eggs are deposited To the
depth OF three or four inches.
3 Generally the eggs are more abun-
dant 10 some localities than others.
This Is very apt to be true regarding
sod places along fences and ditch
banks. With spade 10 hand the
farmer may Investigate the various
localities where eggs are apt to be
found and discover their presence by
examining the ground to the depth OF
two inches. After such survey he
will know whether certain sections
need treating or not.
1t has been found at the agricultural
college that II the eggs are exposed TO
the weather during the fall and also

will be killed by birds and unfavora.

Another Forage Crop

The following Communication was

the Colorado Agricultural college bull
letin:
A small test Of one half acre OF. the
new forage plant. Sudan grass, was
made at the Rocky Ford station the
past season. The results from this
test were very promising and indicate
that this crop is one of the most valu
able forage crops that has been intro
duced since the Introduction Of al.
falfa.,
The seed for this test was supplied
by the United States 0ffice Of se. d
distribution, for dry-land seeds. The
seed was grown 10 20inch rows. May
%, Irrigated up, and cultivated twice
while II was small. The growth was
slow like cane for the first few weeks,
but 1t soon began to stool and shoot
up rapidly. July 7, the growth was
about four feet high, and half Of the
plat was cut for hay. which made
about two ton per acre Of very leafy
hay. The plat was again irrigated
for the second and last time Between
July Z and August I. the crop made
an average growth Of two inches per
day. At the end of August, single
stalks measured nine feet six inches
tall. The plant Ia very dense. lesfy
and fine stemmed clear to the ground.
Cattle and horses eat 1t very greedily.

the juice. The stalks are about the

County Reunion.

The Orleans county members of the
general assembly of 1912 held re-
union in the Foster grove at Willough-
by lake Tuesday July 1st. Both sena-
tors, thirteen representatives from
Orleans county and two from outside
were present. Of the four absent
representatives three were detained
by illness and one by business. Nearly
all were accompanied by their families.
This made up very congeniaI gather
ing of fifty four persons. The renewal
of old friendships and the forming of
new acquaintances made the day a
pleasant one for all. The occasion
was entirely informal, good will pre-
vailed and the picnic dinner was more
than ample. While the day was very
warm, the cool shade of the grove and a
refreshing breeze from the water
again proved that Willoughby lake is
an ideal place for those who seek rest
and relief from the summer heat. Mr..
Wheeler and Mr.. Craig were in readi-
ness with their boats and many took
their first boat ride around the lake.
Much credit is due Representative
Robinson for his thoughtful provision
for the pleasure of Westmore' guests.
A county organization was formed last
winter with Senator Blanchard, presi-
dent Mr.. Robbins. vice-president: Mr..
Locke. secretary and Mr.. Robinson,
Mr.. Flint and Mr.. Lathe, executive
committee. Many conferences were
held during the session and Orleans
county could always be counted
as favoring temperance and civic
