How Charlie comiskey Put One Over
on Famous Masnate.
Charlie Comiskey was about the only
player on the old st. Louis Browns
who was absolutely not afraid Of Won
der Abe. One day at the st. Louis ball
park, when Won der Abe was seated in
a box with his pretty young wife near
the bench occupied by the home team,
he overheard some remark attacking
his personal appearance. He thought
IL had been mouthed by one of the st.
Louis players. Turning quickly in his
seat, the German magnate discovered
several of the local cohorts clustered
in conversation near by. Comiskey
was among them. Chris called him
over to his box.
"Who was it said it?" asked the st.
Louis boss.
said what?" reioined COmiskey.
Won der Abe told Comiskey what he
had heard-he thought-coming from
the direction of the home players
rendezvous Then, pulling out a fat
roll Of grecnbacks and ripping off a
century case note. which he brandish-
cd dramatically. Chris made this state
ment to Comiskey in n semiconfidential
manner:
"You see this. Commy? / give it to
know who it was said it,"
Hand it to me, Chris" said Comis-
key, land I'll tell YOU"
Comiskey, after deftly assisting Won
der Abe to hand over the currency to
bin. remarked icily:
well. Chris. I'm the one that said
IT," and then hastily vanished with
the 500 bill crunched in the palm of
his right hand.

TOWN FILLING UP

Tucumcari rent houses are filling
up and while there are a few good
residences vacant 1t Is thought there
will be few left within the next two
weeks. II Is hard to account for
this sudden influx at this time of
year but To those who are choosing
this city as a place Of residence we
will say they are making no mistake
as we have every thing the heart
could wish. II II were not for pa
tients coming in from other states

undertakers or cemeteries. We have
had men with legs cut off, men shot
through the body near the heart, "A

DISEASE UNDER CONTROL

Chicago, Nov. 3 Disinfecting at
the Chicago Union stock yards,
which suspended business on account
of the hoof and mouth disease, con-
tinued to day in the expectation that
the place would be in a thoroughly
sanitary condition by the middle OF
next week.
IF we have thoroughly cleaned
up byWednesday and IL the epidemic
has not spread TO more states 80
that we can receive shipments of
cattle, we shall apply for lifting Of
the quarantine then" said A. G..
Leonard, president Of the stock
yards.
DIR. o. +. Dyson, state Veterinar-
ian said that although the quaran-
tine had been ordered to run until
November u, il would be lifted be-
fore that time If it were shown that
the yards were in a fit condition.
All other public cattle pens within
the state, including those at East ST.
Louis, were to he given a clean bill
Of health as soon as they are disin-
fected and pronounced free Of infec-
ton. Every confidence that the dis
ease is we'll under control here, was
expressed after it was found that
only few more suspected cattle
have developed cases.
The new cases were among prize
cattle recently exhibited at the Ma.
tional Dairy show here. Abou,
thirty out of 500 prize bulls and COW.
were condemned but, were not killed
The owners, who value the cattle
at several million dollars, appealed
to the department Of agriculture al
Washington, that special efforts b,
made To save the stock. A plan was
decided upon by which the infected
stock will be isolated, subject to
special treatement for experimental
purposes.

QUARANTINE EXTENDED

Washington. Nov. THE worst
outbreak of foot and mouth disease
ever known in the United States Is
the Secretary of Agriculture's esti-
mate of the livestock problem which
has forced Federal authorities TO
quarantine over six States and
threatens temporary reduction of
the Nations food supply.
Emergency appropriations by Con-
gress may be required to finance the
campaign to suppress the epidemic.
Officials said tonight it would be
week before they could forecast the
extent to which the food supply
would be affected. They are inclin-
ed to believe, however that the
shrnkage will not be large. Every
possible effort will be made 70 re-
move handicaps upon the movement
of live stock.
The quarantine does not prevent
the shipment of stock from unaffec.
ted district to slaughter houses with
in the quarantine area and there is
no embargo against the shipment of
dressed meat.
New York and Maryland were
added to the list Of quarantined
States today. A department of
agricultural statement said:
The list of States now quarantined
by Federal authorities include New
, York. Maryland, Indiana, Michigan
Illinois and Pennsylvania. In addi.
ton to these, restrictions have been
placed upon interstate shipments
from Ohio, although no cases have
as yet been found in that State.
There is reason to fear, however,
that infected stock may have been
sent into Ohio. II this is found out
to have been the case the embargo
will be lifted. This outbreak which
is the first in the United States since
1908, is regarded an the most serious
of any that the United States has
yet experienced. Not only has II
already spread over an extensive
area, but its virulence seems to be
above the average. Vigorous meas.
ures will be necessary to stamp II
out. The cost of suppressing the
the last outbreak in 1908 was esti-
mated at 300, ,ll2.l0. In addition
the loss to dairy and stock raisers
was heavy.
