II am always careful to select as
breeders hens that have plenty OF hun

chickens are sure Ia be kept nice and
warm.
Another thing which I am most par.
ticular about Ia TO dust each hen well
with insect powder before putting her
on the nest. A hen that II infested
with vermin viii get restless and very
likely desert her eggs. Even II she
does not do either OF these things her
natural vitality win become 30 lowered
by the irritation that her bodily heat

to keep the eggs properly warm.
There IL another point: II the hen

will become infested. too. and only the
strongest will survive Even these will
grow more slowly than they should and
will probably he Of inferior quality.
Il dust the insect powder well over

and then rub II well into the roots OF
the feathers. as this Ii the most likely
part for the pests to lodge in"

Theodore Little came to For

preparations have gone slowly
ing has been issued except to
the third regiment. Many of the
companies have recruits still in
civilian togs or in old-fashioned
uniforms. Shoes are now being
given out and a few overcoats.
The whole process Of mastering
in the men goes slowly. Such
seems also to be the prepared
ness in most all the states. Be
it said to the credit of the Off
GERS in charge that they are
working late into the night to
complete the equipments, muster
rolls and medical inspection.
Wednesday came the first vac
cination for typhoid. About ten
minutes were required for the
seventy-fve boys of Company L,
to line up with left arms bare,
a patch of iodine dabbed on,
and then each man passed before
a doctor who jabbed a needle in
to the skin squirted in a half
teaspoonful of anti-typhoid juice
and the job was finished. Only
two men OF the company tainted,
while several sought their hunks
to avoid the dizziness incurred.
For two days the effects were
felt in stiff and bruised-sensed
arms. Two other innoculations
are yet to be given before we
are entirely immune.
Oath Taken
Friday orders arrived that L
Company with the rest of the
second regiment should appear
at the parade grounds to take
the Federal oath. This matter
had been a jinx to the peace of
mind of the entire brigade for
several days. Newspapers print
ed an oath, purporting to be the
one to which we should sub
scribe, and which would hold a
man to six-year contract, three
years of which were to be spent
in active service and three on
reserve duty. It was this latter
condition at which men baked,
so firmly had this sort of oath
fixed itself in the minds of the
men that many at first refused
to swear to it. Companies were
lined up in hollow square forma-
ton. Captain Greene of the
regular army came to Company
L. He asked that all men who
were unwilling to take the oath,
after he briefly explained it, to

of the house and is an inside
room, with Mr.. Little.
"The only sound was heard
by lady traveller, who had JUS :,
come in on the Milwaukee road
and had been assigned room
across the hall from the ore
where the trouble occurred. One
shot was fired by Krestad, missed
the clerk, who undoubtedly had
his back turned to the door, and
the shot continued through the
wall into the room occupied by
the lady occupant. Not knowing
what the trouble might be, it is
stated that she Immediately
turned out the light and dropped
to the floor. There were two
more shots fired after this, one
of which entered Mr.. Titles
left breast and came out on the
right side. The other pierced
the lobe of his left ear, which
would show that the man who
did the shooting fully intended
to kill him.
"The sound Of shots was not
heard in the lobby of the hotel,
which is accounted for by the
fact that the room where the
shooting occurred is an inside
one. Several men were sitting
on the curb just outside of the
hotel entrance among whom were
Under Sheriff Harry Allen and
Deputy Sheriff McMullen of his
and. The former heard the
stricken man exclaim, as he
reached the sidewalk in front Of
the hotel, "That man shot me, !"
| at which the officer rushed for
ward and caught the young man
before he fell. An instant af-
terward, the man Krestad, ap-
peared in the lobby, whereupon

why he killed the young man he
said because he tried to touch
me for my roll" Those who
knew Theodore Little are TAX
ing this statement with plenty
of salt for owing to the great
difference in the stature of the
two men it sounds ridiculous for
the prisoner to make such an
assertion. Even granting that
such was true, it would have
been an easy matter for the man
Krestad to have overpowered
Mr.. Little and frustrated any
attempt along these lines. No
reliance whatsoever is placed on
this statement, as it is plain to
