47th and Last
Miner Is
Found
BY United Press Leased Wire

BY United Press Leased Wire
JACKSON, Cal. October l.
The body of William Fessel, the
forty seventh miner Of the
Argonaut Mine disaster, was
being prepared for burial today.
A crew cleaning out the 1880
level of the mine yesterday
broke through a tangled bar
rier Of timbers and muck
and behind It saw lying, bleach
ed and white, a skeleton which
was identified as that of Fessel.
Identification will be COM
pleted today, it was expected,
when Mrs. Fessel is scheduled
to claim formally the skeleton
as that of her husband.
Finding of the body not only
accounts for all of the men who
were trapped in the mine by
fire more than a year ago, but
it puts and end to a long series
of strange stories which have
been whispered and some even
published.
During the last year Fessel
has been reported alive in half
a dozen towns, but all the re-
ports had proven false. Such
a maze of rumor had grown
around the case that the for
ty-seventh miner had become
almost a legend.

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
HICKORY NUTS

Far, far off in the dark and
dismal woods sat the Fuzzy Fox,
the Woozie Wolf and the Skillery
Scallery Alligator with humps on
his tail. They were talking about
how to catch Uncle Wiggily so
they might nibble his ears.
"I'll tell you what is" gargled
the Alligator, "you may be very
smart and clever, Mr.. Fox and Mr..
Wolf, but you have been trying to
catch Uncle Wiggily in the wrong
way
"The wrong way, What do you
mean" growled the Wolf.
eyes, tell us what you mean, :"
snarled the Fox.
"Well," " said the Gator, "you
always use your front paws or your
teeth in trying to catch that rab-
bit, and he always gets away from
you.
How else should we try to catch
him, except with our claws or
teeth 20 asked the Fox.
"You should use your tails once
in a while,' said the Alligator. "I
always use my tail when | want
to catch anything. / knock down
with my tail any rabbit or squirrel
want to catch. And when 1
knock them down they are so sur
prised that [ can easily catch them.
You should do that with Uncle
Wiggily. =
"Pooh! Pooh!' laughed the
Fox.
"Nonsense!' snapped the Wolf.
"That may be all right for you,
Mr.. Gator, for your tail is knobby
and humpy with Jumps on it. But
our tails are soft, like busting
brushes. -

"What for?' asked Nurse Jane.
EYour teeth are not strong enough
to crack the hard hickory nuts.
They are only good for squirrels

So Uncle Wiggily started off to

the tree in his paws and tried to

"Now is my chance!" hissed the
Gator. "Ill knock Uncle Wig
