Following is the explanation of Ripley’s “Believ It or Not” which appeared in Thursday’s Times: Dr. John Dunlop, a Horse Doctor, Helped Pu< the Horse Out of Business—On July 23, 1888, after he had been practicing his profession of veterinarian for twentyfour years. Dr. John Boyd Dunlop first conceived the idea of a pneumatic rubber tire. The idea of an air-cushion tire came to him while watching his son riding a solid rubber-tired tricycle, bump* over cobblestones on the streets of Belfast. His own bicycle, the first vehicle to be equipped with his invention, is one of the prized exhibits of the Royal Scottish museum.

On request, sent with stamped addressed envelope, Mr. Ripley will furnish proof of anything depicted by him.

KIDNAPERS Os BANKER GIVEN 7-YEARTERMS Yocum’s Abductors Are Sentenced to Illinois State Prison. By V s'ted, Press CAMBRIDGE, 111., Feb. 27 Four men who kidnaped Earl Yocum, wealthy Galva banker, but were outwitted by his wife into freeing him without receiving a cent of ransom, today faced terms of seven years each in state prison. The men, Orville and Harry Whiskers, Lloyd Winslow, and Vernon Ahlgren pleaded guilty and were sentenced Thursday by Judge L. E. Tellen, who heard testimony by them and Mr. and Mrs. Yocum. Judge Tellen a aid he did not make the sentences heavier because the men all had good reputations up to the time of the kidnaping last Oct. 25. Yocum, held prisoner several days, testified he was well treated. Mrs. Yocum, who exchanged a bundle of sticks for her husband’s freedom by convincing the kidnapers the package contained money, testified she and her husband had received new threats since the capture of the four men. “I feel,” she said, “that our liberty has been taken away from us. We must be on constant guard. They should be punished.”
