of Elmwood was here Tuesday and
related an incident about a mad dog
scare which happened in that neigh
borhood, last week. W. L. Garrett
had collie dog which went mad and

finally was killed by Lon Haskell in
his pasture Wednesday evening.
Before the dog ran away, however,
it licked the hands of Mr.. CARROTS
children while they were playing with
it. AS the youngsters had some sores
on their hands when the dog licked
them, their parents became alarmed

ANOTHER BIG STRIKE
OF GAS AT BUEYEROS

At the Bueyeros well, gas, either a
new pocket or the old strike recently
made, began to shoot and stopped
the drilling for three days while they
were casing it off. The roar of the
gas was plainly heard in Bueyeros,
four miles distant. This is very en-
couraging as the formation they are
now drilling in is a very hard forma-
ton. The fact that oil is always found
under a very hard strata, the natural
conclusion is that this company are

THOSE ODD RAIL RATES
There Are Some Things That Laymen
Can't Compre-Here's a Few.

There are some things that even
layman can understand, if he studies;
For instance, even an amateur can
figure out why the remiolic rhythm
has a thesis with but one and a half
times the length of the arsis.
Even a beginner can determine, if
he will, how the tractrix may be equi-
tangential, and the intercepts be-
tween points of tangency and esy-
mptote be equal.
And any layman, with a little rea-
soning can understand the process of
constructive in metabolisms by
which the notwithstanding It's

F'rinstance: Why is it that one can
ship a consignment of freight from
Chicago to Salt Lake City, by way of
Los Angeles and San Francisco--to
the Pacific coast and back again
cheaper than from Chicago to Salt
Lake City, direct
Or why is it, that it is cheaper to
ship certain things from the east
Pittsburgh, Pa, for instance, through
Hutchinson to Pueblo, Colo, say thar
from Pittsburgh to Hutchinson?
Why is it cheaper, if it could be
done, to ship the stuff to the Pacific
coast, and then kick it off along the
way, than to ship it to the point 200
or 500 miles nearer
Well, Why Is This Thus?
Why is it? Well it's like trying
