VALUABLE FOX ESCAPE AND
Is KILLED BY TRAPPER

According to a special dispatch to
the Reno Gazette from Carson City,
the venture of raising foxes on Lake
Tahoe's shores by Reno parties so
far has proven an expensive expert
ment. Early this winter one of the
foxes escaped and has never been
seen since. Last week a second fox
made his escape from the enclosure
and was caught and killed by a trap
per at Emerald Bay. The two foxes
were worth close to $4,000.
Half a dozen foxes were imported
from Canada to carry on the expert
ment of breeding in the Sierras. The
pelts are valued at from $500 to $500
each, and there is a fox running at
large that is worth a years wages.

yet find something new.
Mrs. Collins read an article about
the care of baby's teeth. Do not give
too much candy or other sweets, as
it tends to ruin the baby teeth, which
binders the perfect growth of the
permanent set. Begin early to teach
a child the use OF a tooth brush, US
ing warm water with a small amount
of either salt or listerine in the water.
If any of the teeth are crooked get a
rubber band from the drug store,
sterilize it good and wind back and
forth over three teeth with the
crooked one in the center.
Mrs. Weight described a child
large or small) as having ideals and
feelings and that it is decidedly
wrong to hurt a child's feelings. Often
times we notice big folk, who should
know better, say something to a child
"just to see the child act up" and
they never seem to realize they are
hurting the little ones feelings
Nervous children, especially, become
sensitive and sometimes are made
backward and all interest killed.
Mrs. ~Studebaker showed that it is
not good for baby to sleep with
mother and father. 1t is much easier
to start them to sleeping by them
selves at first, than to be compelled
to go to bed with it to get it to sleep
or have to rock it. Be careful of the
baby carriage, for SO many babies
have spinal trouble, caused from
carriages.
Mrs. Loest read that baby should
not be allowed to breath through its

Mrs. Maxwell gave a few items re-

Mrs. Hinkley read that every baby

Timothy Daily, a pioneer Grant

Swedish Explorer And
Wife To Study Indians

Stockholm, Mar. 4.-Dr. Gustaf
Bolinder, Swedish explorer, who some
years ago made a notable Journey
of exploration to Columbia and Ven
~ezuela, will start again shortly for
these countries to study the Indian
tribes in their northern territories.
AS before, Dr.. Bolinder will be ac-
companied by his intrepid wife.
During their last trip they lived
for a year with the Indians on the
Sierra Nevada de Sancta Marta. Lat
er he produced facts said to prove
that these Indians were closely relat-
ed to the 1ncas.
DR.. Bolinder told a correspondent
of the Associated Press that tie new
tour of exploration would be direct
ed mainly toward a study Of the tribes
between the Magdalene River and
Lake Maraciabo. These parts of the
world, he said, we're wealthy and had
a big population when the Spaniards
first crossed over. The contluerers,
however, soon laid waste to the coun-
try, and the Indians now are found on
ly in the isolated mountains and the
jungles. There r as yet large un-
known territories, especially on the
the frontier between Colombia and
Venezuela.
"The Indian tribes living here are
of great interest and among them
expect to find traces Of the old mour

culture lived, the enlightenment Of
the so-called gold-9ge was widely

A. v. Dalrymple, federal prohibition
director for the central states and his
agents, for the purpose of enforcing
alleged violations Of the 18th amend

GERS to recall, with a touch of humor,
a similar incident which took place
on the banks of the Mississippi river,
here, in 1852.
The state legislature, after a strug-
gle, put through a prohibition meas
ure by a small majority. The wet ell
ement refused to obey it and an effort
was made to unload a cargo of whis-
key at the foot of Johnson street.
The sheriff organized a posse to
prevent the unloading and a general
fight began.
The encounter continued until Col,
D. A. Robertson mounted a hogshead
of molasses and began a pacificatory
speech.

someon. in the crowd.
At that moment there was an om-
inous crack, and Robertson broke thru
the top of the barrel and dropped in
to the .molasses.
Wet and dry agitators forgot their
quarrel and rescued Robertson. Flasks
were passed around quietly and both
sides agreed to compromise. Legal
action was started and the prohibition
law was declared void.
