They were victims of deadly dixide gas that had accumulated in the silo over night This happened during the time of fill- ' the silo last September While hunting south of Bluffton Hugh Sounder, who was accompanied by several friends, shot a rabbit, ( which on examination, they found to have sores on its mouth and feet. Fearing that the disease was the foot and mouth disease, which is being ( scattered over the country, the young , men threw the rabbit away. Several ] other rabbits, which they shot, were ( in good condition. It is probable that . the rabbit had some other ailment be- , side?, the foot and mouth disease, al ] though this disease is being carried ( out by the rabbits in other places.

A mere youth of ten or twelve summers, and several other boy companions are rapidly paving the way to the state reform school, possibly the penitentiary later, as the result of forging several checks in the amounts of SB, $6 and $1.50, all of which were cashed by Kendallvlllle business men. The checks were forged on the Beyer Brothers company. V. G. Haywood and the Walchalk Brothers, the last named persons being onion growers. The merchants did not suspect a mere lad to be implicated in such a business as drawing forged checks, thus making it easy sailing for the boy.
