MOSHER, Editor and Manager RANCHER'S LIFE SAVED BY HORSE Ablmal Waits for Injured Man to Mount. !vV--; Stout Falls, S. D.--Harris' Rlnderneck, a rancher of northwestern South Dakota, is the owner of a horse which he would .not sell for its weight in gold. His affection for the animal is due to the fact that it saved his life. During a storm recently, while the tefiiperature was below *ero, Rinderneck was rounding np some of his cattle, riding the horse which afterward saved his life, when the animal slipped SPd fell, throwing Rinderneck to the gtound, breaking his leg and rendering him unconscious. Instead of the " horse scrambling to its feet and dashing away, as most animals would have done, it scrambled to its feet and stood patiently beside the form of its master on the ground. When the rancher regained consciousness he found the horse there waiting for him. Helpless, so far as attempting to walk was concerned, he grasped the saddle stirrup nearest to him, then spoke quietly to his horse and with his voice guided it to a snowbank which was of sufficient height to enable him to crawl to the back of the horse. He then rode to the nearest farm l(ouse, but on arriving at the gate he was unable to make any one hear his calls for help. In this extremity he produced his pliers and cut the fence, riding up to the house, where he was given assistance and then taken to the nearest town for surgical attention for his broken leg. The rancher declares that'had his horse not waited for him he would have frozen to death. Hp was several miles from home when the accident happened, and would have been Impossible tor him to have crawled that distance. & POOR HORSE COLLARS CAUSED ROME'S FALL Classified Column • ^ ^ ^ A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A ^ A.

The owners in j!®93 considered the land worth about $12.50 an lacre. , The discovery of oil is responsible. Benjamin Reitz, a Kansas pioneer, 'had a "'feeling" the land would lie valuable some day, and religiously kept up his tax payments, while his neighbors let theirs lag and finally 'lost title. Then an oil company drilled a test well and found oil. This well now ft* ipomplng 1,200 barrels a day.

French Savant Advances an Original Theory. Paris.--Did Rome fail because no public-spirited citizen knew enough to invent a harness that would adequately utilize horse power? This weak Joint in the armor of the fallen empires (ft antiquity was pointed out by Commandant I.efebvre des Noettes at a recent meeting of the French- Institute of Anthropology. Commandant des Noettes has made a complete survey of the history nf the use of animal motive power from the early dawn of civilization. The harness'of the ancients, he explained, had fur its principal organ of traction a collar consisting of a leather band that went around the neck like a <l«:r collar, without touching the shoulders, and which was attached to a wooden yoke Jest above the withers. This collar was so plac,ed that it most effectively cut off the animal's wind by pressing on his windpipe and the large artery of the throat. Almost Strangled Horses. As soon as a team felt the weight of a chariot and its passengers exerting pressure on the collar they were forced to rear up their heads and dash off to save themselves from strangling. Hence the rampant attitude of all the horses depicted in ancient papyri and sculptures, declared Commandant des Noettes. As a result of this drawback the great civilizations of the past were never able to get more than a fraction of the potential motive power from their horses. Oxteams operan Ing with a wooden yoke attached to the horns, not greatly different from that in use today, did not suffer from the oppressive collar and In consequence did most of what heavy hauling was done. Both oxen and horses were unshod and In consequence were not much good in rough ground. Couldn't Haul Half^a Ton. Data obtained from translations of the Greek historian Xenophon and from the Theodosian code about n thousand years later, said Commandant des Noettes, indicate that no team Of oxen In ancient times was ever considered capable of transporting a load of oyer ^aT7 a ton. _ Various ineffectual attempts were made to modify to better advantage the accepted type of harness, but not until after the era of Charlemagne, about, the time of the beginning of the Capet dynasty In France, did some inventive pen ins Revise a horse collar that practical. For six hundred years the water mill for grinding corn hnd failed to brin^' great benefit to the Romans, simply because it took numberless animals to draw enough grain to supply Its needs. Where grain could not be transported in ships the arduous labor of hand grinding continued to be the order of the day. The lack of adequate transportation of raw products and the consequent dependence on slave labor, according to Commandant des Noettes, constituted the great weakness of the civilizations of the past. The Invention of the modern harness gave to the world, he declared, a motive force more powerful and economical than slavery. GOLD SEALED USED CAR BUICKS »nd 60 rolls of music in Woodstock.
