town OF Richardsville. In . house on
the old Maxwell place. A few days
ago his dog was digging under the
porch at the back Of the kitchen. and
Datisman watching him saw some
thing glitter in the dirt. Il proved to
be q twenty-dollar gold piece. Then
Datisman did some digging himself.
with the result that, scarcely covered
with earths was found small tin box
with gold coins. The dog in digging
had raised the top of the box and
scraped the single coin out with loose
dirt. The box was found to contain
$1,000 in gold coins of IS. $40 and $40
denominations.
Datisman was the only person who
knew of the find. He knew the money
was not his, but he didn't know whom
1t belonged to. He determined to find
the rightful owner II possible and re-
store the money. He consulted no
one about the matter. but refreshed
his mind about the property on which
he was living and made inquiries Of
other persons better acquainted than
he.
It was found that for many years
James Maxwell had lived In the place.
that he was reported to be wealthy
and that 1t was said he sometimes
buried money. Maxwell died about
fifteen years ago, killed in an Illinois
Central crossing accident. The prop

WILL FIGHT RABIES
Government to Combat Spread Of
Disease.
Forest Service and Biological Survey
Will Try to Stop Wave Of Infection
Of Wild and Domestic AMI
mails In West.

Washington.-The department Of
agriculture is taking action through
the biological survey and the for
est service to combat . serious wave
of rabies infection Of wild and domes-
tic animals that IL in danger of be-
coming widespread In the far West.
The fact that the extensive disserh-
nation of the disease is taking place
through the agency of coyotes makes
the situation q difficult one to meet.
Outbreaks of rabies among coyotes
have been noted from time to time for
several years in parts of Washington.
Oregon and northern Idaho. and the
forest service undertook last year to
aid in bringing the disease under con-
troll by employing hunters to make
of some infected localities. Since,
however, the coyotes breed in the foot
hills and around the outskirts of the
forests, a more comprehensive cam
paign is called for.
The eradication of coyotes In sparse
ly settled or rough country Is said to
be an exceedingly difficult task. In
asmuch as these animals are always
q source of considerable losses to the
live stock industry of the West. con-
gress last year provided a special fund
of $125,000 to be spent by the bio
logical survey for the eradication of
predatory animals. both In the ma
tional forests and ON the public do
main, and from this fund special al
lotment has now been made to pro-
vide for fighting the rabies.
The disease first appeared in parts
Of eastern Oregon and Washington
and northern Idaho. in q region sur
rounded by natural barriers which
tended to conflne the outbreak Do
nestle animals and human beings
were bitten. and a good deal of alarm
was manifested by residents of the
infected districts. many of whom
feared for the safety of their children
on the roads to and from school. The
disease is now reported as having ex-

northern California, whence 1t may
easily be carried far.
The forest service. the biological
survey and the state board of health
are working together to meet the sit.
uation in California. Modoc and Las
sen counties have been put under quar-
antine by the state board. which has
appointed forest rangers inspectors in
Modoc county. Funds have been pro-
vided by the biological survey for the
employment of additional men and the
purchase of traps and poison. The
public will be enlisted in the cam
paign, which will be led by the bio
logical survey officials and the forest
rangers.

GRAVE ERROR.

N their fight for an eight hour day The railroad tranmen
up TO the present have had the support Of large and
influential part of the public, but it will be hard for
them to retain all Of this if they persist in their opposition
to compulsory investigation.
1t will not do for them 10 say badly that the principle
in practice in Canada. where has been on trial for sew
era years. has proved that the railroads take advantage
of the interval during which the Investigators examn-
ing into the merits Of the controversy prepare for strike.
If the examination shows that the men are the right and
the roads in the wrong no road on this side of the ne at
least would dare refuse the demands of the men, Pub
lie opinion, which is more powerful than all the laws,
would not countenance such stiff necked attitude. No
financial combination in the land is strong enough to run
counter to that public opinion
The American people above all other things believe in
the spirit Of fair play. 1t will be hard to persuade such
people that party whose cause is just need
stand in fear of publicity Indeed some of the deepest
thinkers we have developed in this country have believed
that complete publicity all the remedy we need for most
of our social and economic ills. Without thinking very
much about way another the country has adopted
this theory If the tranmen stand by their leaders in the
decision to fight that part Of the strike prevention program
they will make grave tactical error
