Sixteen Years Ago

Announcements were received
yesterday of the marriage of M. c.
Hankins and Miss Tiny Gardner
at Kerville, Texas. Immediately
after they left for Douglas and
their friends here are planning
royal welcome. Hankins is one of
the best known and popular young
men of Douglas and a faithful
empIoye of the c. @. smelter.
-4 Mrs. w. H. Loomis is at the
Gadsden, having just completed
the sale of high grade silver and
gold property in Sonora to Chicago
and Kansas City parties.
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Tisdale en-
tcrtained several members of Tis-
dale's shift at the Copper Queen
smelter at a delightful Christmas
dinner
The fact that the Copper Queen
is spending approximately half
million dollars in improvements is
of extreme interest to the citizens
of Douglas, and makes the out
look for the coming year encourag-
ing.
The session OF the nineteenth
annual Arizona Teachers associa-
ton will open in Douglas today.
Between 300 and 400 teachers will
be in attendance.

were members Of the Chevy Chase
Hunt, and regularly rode after the
hounds. The club was the hunting
hub of the sport in this neighborhood
until about 20 years ago. when local
interest in such cross-country chases
began to wane. After the passing of
Clarence Moore riding to the hounds
came near to joining the colony Of

The willy fox is seeking permanent
cover where he can shake the keen
scented hounds from his trail. The
hounds are determined to capture the
fox before the swift and cunning
dodger can gain secure shelter. The
riders reap sport from following the
hounds that are after the fox. Each
equestrian aspires to be 'in at the
death" or capture Of Reynard.
In the days when gray and red
foxes were plentiful in the District
hunts were staged more informally
by having the dogs scent about until
they picked up the trail of a fox
and followed 1t until the animal was
overtaken or escaped. 1t is extremely
rare for the fox to get away unless
il scampers to some extraordinary
hiding place to which the hounds
cannot trail it. The best running gray
foxes are unable to elude capture by
the hounds for more than two to
three hours under the most favorable
conditions. The red fox, on the~other
hand, possesses greater speed, en-
durance and thickness. and has been
known in certain cases to keep going
for IL to Is hours in particularly
rough, rugged and wooded country,
before the hounds finally overlook 1t.

pert riders as H Rozier Dulaney,

A drag hunt is a chase after
dummy fox" This decoy is nothing
more than a scent trail of anise seeds
which leads the pack from start of
the hunt to the death The anise
seed is wrapped in a gunny sack,
which is wadded into ball, tied to
a rope. and dragged along the ground
over the course of the hunt. The drag
permits the selection of a desirable
course which is free of many of the
handicaps and hardships that the
riders encounter when they pursue
Reynard A drag hunt is usually an
exhilarating gallop of about five miles
up hill and down dale, with perhaps
ten or a dozen jumps interspersed in
the run. Business men who can only
spare an hour or SO a week for fox
hunting can participate in drag hunts,
while such gatherings are also very
popular with lady riders.

The drag man, riding a horse with
the ball of anise seed in tow, usually
starts about half an hour or an hour
ahead of the hounds in order to lay
the course The hounds, as soon as
they pick up the scent, follow it as
assiduously as though they were trail
ing Reynard in person. They, appar-
entity, get as much fun and excite
ment out of the curious contest as Il
they were pursuing a living fox.
X
THE live fox hunt nowadays is
started by liberating a captive
gray or red fox, purchased for about
$40 from some countrymen. The fox
is freed about 30 minutes in advance
of the unleashing of the hounds.
Reynard, as a pathfinder, usually
picks a course that zigzags and cir
cles over a wide stretch Of country.

INCREASE DIVIDENDS
Wall Street Curious as to Next
Step of Brothers-C. & 0.
Rate $12 for the Year.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 18.-Wall Street
was curious today as to what would
be the next step of the Van Sweringen
brothers in view Of the Increase OF
dividends by constituent members OF
the proposed Nickel Plate merger re-
Gently denied approval by the inter
state Commerce Commission.
The Street is interested in whether
the brothers will attempt to dispose OF
their large holdings while the stock Is
bringing Il record price, or Will offer a
new merger plan eliminating the non
voting stock feature to which the COM
mission found objection.
Yesterday the Nickel Plate awarded
stockholders an extra dividend of 81
on common stock. The Chesapeake
Ohio increased it's dividend on common
stock from a 81 to an So basis and
declared an extra dividend Of 81. This
will make a $12 payment on stock for
the current year. a rate as large as
any announced by railroads listed on
the New York Stock Exchange. The
Hooking Valley Railroad announced
similar dividends.
Directors of all three roads met at
the Van Sweringen offices in CleVe-
land.
The total dividends by the three rail-
roads are estimated at S. 100 600, with
the Van Sweringens getting about
81 l.250 900.
The Erie Railroad now remains the
only other one Of the roads in the pro-
posed merger which has not increased
it's dividends. Last week the Pere
Marquette advanced it's rate from 81
to "a Sc basis, with an extra dividend
of 81.
The minority committee of the Ches
apeake & Ohio, which fought the pro-
| posed merger, yesterday at Richmond
| called upon the Van SWeringen inter
| ests to reimburse the road for ex
penses incurred during the merger
proceedings. Counsel for the Van
Van SwerinGens has estimated that
| the total cost of the unsuccessful con
| solidation action was about 100000
