Orson II. Hunter, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. S. G. Hunter of Saratoga, who is
stationed at Fort Sill, Okla, with the
Fourth U. S. Aero Squadron, writes
most interestingly of his activities in
the winged branch of the service. He
reports that the camp has become ex-
ceedingly busy of late, with but little
time for basketball or other pastimes.
The airmen, he says, must be up and
have breakfast over before daybreak.

in a half-day's flight. When they
come in again at night they are again
thoroughly gone over, tanks refilled,
and everything prepared for the next

days work at from 200 to 10 80

fatal PARALYTIC STROKE.
DIN johnson Suecumbs to Paralysis
After Illness of Little More
Than a Week.

Olin Ford Johnson, ~17-year-old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Emmett Johnson of
Saratoga, died at the family home on
Sunday morning at s 80, after an ill
ness covering a period of about eight
days, "A paralytic stroke being the cause
Of his untimely death.
Oin came to town on Friday, No
vember =, from the S~choonjans ranch,
where he had been employed during
the summer. He attended the dance
that evening, being in good spirits and
apparently enjoying his usual good
health. The next day, however, he
complained of a severe headache, as
well as aches II pains III other parts
of his body, and evidences of paralysis
soon began to appear, and spread
throughout the nerve centers until the
young man was almost totally para
lyZed. Drs. Swisher of Rawlins and
Burke OF Encampment were called in
consultation with DR.. Price, and every
thing possible done to afford the young
mai some measure of relief, but with
out avail.
Olin vas born on Christmas day,
1900, at Atlanta, Mo-, and came to Sar-
atoga with his parents some eight
years ago. He was a clean, energetic,
manly lad and u friend to everyone.
He was II member of the graduating
class OF the local high school last
spring, and since his graduation had
been working steadily At the Schoon-
jams ranch near Elk Mountain.
The funeral was held from the fam
lily home Monday afternoon, and was
attended by hundreds of friends of the
bereaved family. The services were
conducted by the Rev. l.. ID. Jarrard of
the Presbyterian church, and inter
ment was made in the local cemetery.

heartfelt sympathy of Il very large cir
Gle of friends in their grief over this

Return From u

Ben Carroll and family returned to
their home near Saratoga last Satur-
day evening from Missouri, where they
had been visiting with relatives and
friends in the vicinity of Macon and
kirksville for the past two months.
They made the trip both ways by auto,
without experiencing serious trouble
or mishap. The return trip from Kan
sas City required about five days.
Mr.. Carroll visited Kansas City sew
eral different times during his So
journ in Missouri, and witnessed the
havoc caused by the great fire in the
Kansas City stock yards recently, when
some thirty acres of yards were burned
ed. No cause for the fire has yet been
discovered, he says, but the many sus-
picious circumstances attending the ca
tastrophe have convinced many people
that the fire was not altogether acct
dental. The water mains serving the
stock yards district had also been tam
pered with, so that through insuffi-
cient supply Inc lack of pressure the
firemen we're unable to cope with a
blaze which would have been easily
controlled under ordinary circum-
stances.
Mr.. Carroll states that feed is very
high in price in hat region and that
most of the hay raised there is of very
inferior quality. He took particular
interest in the marketing of live stock
in the great cattle market, and comes
home with a most decided opinion that
Platte Valley stockmen are following
the right idea in planning to install
home yards, where their stock may be
put up for sale to outside buyers, in
stead of being shipped long distances
to sell for whatever may be offered.
This plan, in his opinion, would I'M
doubtedly result in great benefit to ev-
cry stockman, and he hopes to see it
carried to a successful conclusion. He
saw many cattle sold at Kansas City
which had been shipped by small grow
ers, who were very much dissatisfied
with the prices received, but were un-
able to do else than take what was of.
fered.
On the return trip they encountered
considerable quantities of snow a short
distance north of Kansas City, but
throughout the greater part of their
travels they found the roads very good
and all conditions favorable, making
! their vacation a cry pleasant one.

BEST CATCH OF THE SEASON.
Hatchery Officials Hold the Record
for Making the Largest Catch
in the Shortest Time.

Superintendent o. n. Baldwin and a
crew of men from the Federal hatch.
cry near town furnished amusement
for a considerable audience when they
seined the river above and below the
bridge last Friday afternoon, to pro.
cure Il stock of rainbow trout for use
at the hatchery.
Many local fishermen who observed
Mr.. Baldwin's preparations for SEEMING
the pool above the bridge, offered va
ried opinions as to what his catch
would be, the general opinion being
that he would do exceedingly well if he
brought out fifty trout from u pool
which had been fished so continuously
throughout the season. Some even de-
clared he would do well if he caught
twenty, and all were indeed astonished
at the large number of fine trout, most
ly rainbow, with a few of the Loeb La
ven, German brown n speckled va
%rieties, which were captured.
Over 100 of the largest and best Of
these were saved, and another pull
made, this time below the bridge, when
fully as many more were secured. A
great many of the smaller trout were
returned to the river, as well as hun
dreds of pounds of suckers.
About 300 rainbow trout of suitable
size and condition for breeding pur-
poses were ecured and removed in
cans to the fishery station, a couple of
miles from town.
On Thursday afternoon the men had
seined a couple of pools in the east
branch of the river above town, where
they secured 200 or more, bringing the
total for the two days to about 500.
Superintendent Baldwin was well
pleased with his catch and expects to
soon be able to supply young fry of the
rainbow family to various other hatch
cries, which have heretofore been I'M
able to get sufficient rainbow spawn to
supply the demand.

Railroads Having Their Troubles.

Despite the extraordinary achieve
ments and efforts of the Railroads
War Board in cutting car shortage from
14S,OOO in April to about 10000 on Sep
tember L, the increasing pressure of
fall crops and government needs, has
now forced the figure up to 1000.
Moreover, there is every indication
that as America proceeds with the war,
the strain upon the railroads will grow
greater. Traffic of the country is in
creasing at the rate of 10 per cent u
month. Crops are unusually heavy,
factories all over the country are
clamoring for fuel and demanding at
least twice as many cars for their out

burden of hauling to the cities in one

Serious Case of Poisoning.

w. G.. Edwards, the local harness and
saddle man, has been in Denver for
several days, where he is being treated
for blood poisoning at st. Joseph's hos
pital. Latest reports from the hospi-
tai are to the effect that he is doing as
well MS could be expected, with the
chances good for his complete recovery.
Last Friday, while prying u heel
from u shoe with u screw driver, Mr..
Edwards accidentally stabbed himself
in the left hand with the implement,
inflicting u small wound, which barely
drew blood and to which he paid little
attention. On Saturday the hand be-
gan to pain him and became badly
swollen, and within a short time the
swelling had extended nearly to his ell
bow. 1t gradually became worse and
ON Monday Mr.. Edwards left for Den
