Lake Eyre is one of the wonders o

had made the island, where the animal

SUMMER ATTENTION TO HOGS
Foundation Laid at This Time to Be.
din Things Necessary for Cheap
Production Of Pork

You may think that your hog crop
needs the least of your thought and
attention during the summer months,
but it would pay many pork producers
immensely to give deeper thought to
this summer handling of the herd than
they do, for at this time can easily
be laid the foundation Of successful
avoidance of many troubles as well az
to begin some things necessary tor
cheap pork production.

Mr.. Norcr0Ss said, "Who knows any
thing about Durgin? Was he a mar
ried MANI"
Mr.. Van Britt shook his head.
HE had been married, but he and
his wife didn't live together. He had
no relatives here. l knew him In the
southwest two years ago. He'd had
domestic trouble of some kind, and
didn't mix or mingle much with the
other men. But he was a good dis
patcher, and two months ago, when
we had an opening here, l sent for
him."
"You think there is no doubt but
that he was bribed to put those trains
together tonight?'
"None in the least-only I wish we
had a little better proof Of it."
"Where did he live?'
"He boarded at Mrs. Chambers, out
on Cross street. Morris boards there,
too, l believe"
The boss turned to me.
"Jimmie, 60 and get Morris"
I carried the call and brought Nor
ris hack with me. He was a cheerful,
red-headed fellow, and everybody liked
him.
ut isn't a 'sweat-boX' session, Nor
ris," said the boss, quietly, when we
came in and the relief operator sat
down, sort of half scared, on the edge
of a chair. 1--WE want to know some
thing more about Durgin. He roomed
at your place, didn't he?
Morris admitted 1t, but said he'd
never been very chummy with the dis
patcher; that Durgin wasn't chummy
with anybody. Then the boss went
straight to the point, as he usually
did.
"You were present and saw all that
happened in the other room. Can you
tell us anything about that money!"
pointing to the pile of bills on my
desk.
Billy Morris wriggled himself into
little better chair-hold. Nothing
that would be worth telling, if things
hadn't turned out just as they have"
he returned. "But now I guess I know.
I left Mrs. Chambers this evening
about eleven o'clock to come on duty,
and Durgin was just ahead of me-.
Some fellow-a man in a snuff-colored
overcoat and with soft hat pulled
down so that I couldn't see his face
stopped Durgin on the sidewalk, and
they talked together.
II didn't hear what was said, but I saw
the overcoated man pass something to
Durgin and sawDurgin put whatever It
was into his pocket. Then the other
man lodged and went away, and did
it so quick that I didn't see which
way he went or what became Of him.
Durgin must have run after he left
the corner, for l didn't see anything
more Of him until I got to the office.
HE was there when you came in?''
II was Mr.. Norcross who wanted to
know.
"Yes. He had his coat off and was
at work on the train sheet. l don't
think Durgin left his chair, or said
anything to anybody until he Jumped
up and began to walk the floor, taking

Tuscaloosa, April s.-(Special)-Tus- caloosa is completely without gas. Al noon yesterday the Semet-Solvay com pany at Holt closed down. This com pany is a by-product plant and a branch of the Central Iron ana Coal company and has been the only source through which the entire city has received it's gas for years.
 All instantaneous heaters in bathrooms are put out of business and this city is back where she was before gas was put in practically. Several thousand people are buying oil, coal and electric stoves today, and the question of future gas depends on when the Semet-Solvay com pany resumes operations, or the install !ation of a gas-making plant by the Rail- way and Utilities company.
