TRAPPING DEADLY FEVER TICK.
Novel Scheme Is Being Tried by Govern
ment Consent.

| The free grazing of $500 head of
sheep upon the Bitterroot national for
est, in the state of Montana, has been
authorized by the secretary of agricul-
ture as part of a novel experiment in
trapping the deadly spotted fever tick
| The forest service and the public health
service are working together in coopera-
ton with local sheep growers in this new
campaign.
It is the general belief of the lead
ing medical authorities that the mysteri-
Gus and frequently fatal disease com
monty known as spotted fever is spread
by the tick Dermacenor and arsoni
which, in parts of the Bitterroot for
est, occurs in such abundance that it
constitutes real menace to man and
beast. Surgeon McClntio of the public
health service died last year of spotted
fever contracted during his study of
the disease and its control.
The plan proposed eontemplates the
grazing of two bands of sheep upon the
parts of the forest where the tick is
most abundant, with the idea that large
numbers of the ticks will attach them
selves to the sheep. Then, as occasion
requires, the sheep will be freed of the
ticks by being dipped in an insecticde
solution which will kill the ticks with
out in any way iniuring the sheep.
The engorging of the female tick with
blood is one Of the essential functions
of reproduction, and this gorging must
of necessity take place upon the larger
mammals which serve as hosts to the
tick. The U. S. biological survey has
reached the conclusion that the great
bulk of the fever ticks which become
filed with blood get their supply while
attached to domestic stock, and that if
the domestic animals are freed of ticks
by dipping, by spraying or by some
other effective method of treatment,
the chances of the infection of human
beings will be vastly reduced. OF the
different domestic animals the sheep is
the most readily handled and the easiest
to dip or treat, hence the selection OF
sheep for use in the experiment.

AUTO RUNS AWAY
FOR FOUR HOURS
Man Takes the Place of His Wife and
Daughter Until the Machine
Stops.

Huntington, Ind, Aug. l9.--Mrs, j. w
Caswell and daughter, Miss Mary, were
driving in their electric runabout Sum
day, but when they got ready to stop
the machine kept right on. So they went
along with the car, trying various means
to bring it to a stop. They grew tired
of the enforced ride and headed the cleo
trio up steep hill. Miss Caswell APP
piled the brakes and reduced the speed
so that her mother could jump out. She
telephoned her husband to head off the
machine, and when the girl drove up the
hill again he hoped in and the girl
jumped out, Mr.. Caswell taking a turn
in the runaway. He drove up one street
and down another. Dinner time came
and passed and still the car rolled mer-
rily on.
After about four hours the battery
was exhausted and the car added insult
to injury by dying" on the outskirts
of the town, making Mr.. Caswell walk
several blocks to his home.

KILLED RIDING
TO GET DOCTOR
Mountaineer Shot By Man Whose Horse
He Had Taken--Thought
He Was Thief.

Raleigh, N. G., Aug. l9.-Ray Carter,
a mountaineer living near the Tennes-
see line, lost his life two nights ago
when Bailey johnson, his neighbor, met
Carter at midnight on Johnson's horse
and shot him with rifle.
Carriers home is in section without
railroad or telegraph, and far from a
physician. His baby was desperately ill
and Carter rode for physician. John
son heard the horse 60 from the stable
and return. Carter started to dismount
and tell who he was, but was shot be-
fore he could explain. Young johnson
fled to the mountains, explaining his
unwillingness to remain for trial when
he had made such a mistake. He de-
clared that he heard no cutlery from
his friend and thought he was shooting
at a horse thief.
Carter lived half day, made his dy-
ing deposition and declared that he had
made known who he was. His child
died first. When the mountaineer fell
from his horse he elutehed a small bot
tie of medicine which the physician had
given him. Carter had been in the EN-
ploy of Johnson. When he was told that
he could not live he said he had taken
the horse from a friend whom he be-
lieved to be anxious to minister to his
stricken family. The burial of father
and child took place Sunday.

MURDERER WITH

Albany

! New York, Aug. l9.--New York news
papers comment on Thaw's escape as
! follows:
Times-What the rich Thaw family
could not effect by succession of Legal
proceedings, what it was unable to do by
bribery OF state officials, it has now ae.
complished by force.
Tribune-With the escape of Thaw the
scandal is complete The public needs NO
more proof that the murderer with mon
ey is safe.
Herald-Scandals in our state institu.
tions have been so swiftly following each
other that literally they ION one anoth-
er's heels do tread" but the latest may
well cause the most serious thought. The
state is without a governor, and, in
sooth, ii also seems 10 be without much
law or order.
Sun-People have often wondered why
with his mastery pecuniary arguments
and the easy collision of inside and out
side friends, he has not taken leg-bail
before. What cafe is he ing Whom will
be kill next?
World-There has never before been
so shameless devotion of great wealth
to degrade justice on behalf of worth
less degenerate as in this case. 1t is not
alone a demoralized state government
which we have. 1t is demoralizing
state government, as this case shows,
and no state institution can hope alto
gether to escape the consequences.
American-It may be only a eoinci-
dence, the escape Of Harry X. Thaw
from the Matteawan state asylum for
the criminal insane at time when the
government Of the state is hopelessly de-
moralized. But such an incident and
more like it may be expected.

FOR UNIFORM STATE LAWS.
Commissioners from All over Country
to Gather in Montreal.

New York, Aug. l0.-Since the an.
nouneement was made short time age
that the commissioners on uniform state
laws would hold their annual meeting in
Montreal during the last week of this
month, Charles T. Terry of this city
president OF the commission, has re-
ceived many requests from organizations
throughout the country, asking that sub
iects in which they are vitality inter.
ested be brought before the commission
for discussion. Among these are sub
jects affecting child labor, marriage and
divorce, workingmen3s compensation
factory legislation, the regulation of
medical practice and pure food laws.
Every one of the fortyreight states in
the union is represented on the commits
sion, the number being usually three
commissioners from each state appointed
by the governors, and during the TWEEN
ty-three years that the commission has
been in existence a number of uniform
laws have been drafted, and several of
them have been adopted by the legisla-
lures of many states.
at is not only uniformity, but COM
mon sense which is required in many of
our laws" wrote one of the leading
members of the General Contractors as
ISOLATION to Mr.. Terry last week in ex-
pressing approval of the workmen's COM
pensation act which was drafted last
year by the commission in Milwaukee
and which has been submitted to the
legislatures of several states. This act,
it was stated, Is much better one than
some now in force in those states which
have such laws, and far better than those
which We're considered by the New York
legislature at its last session.
