NEW SPECIES OF ANIMALS
DISCOVERED AT SOUTH BENO
The Oldest Inhabitants Pronounce
Them Panthers, While Others
Say Not.
The Wabash correspondent of
the Elmwood Leader-Echo tells
the following story, which is pre
sumed to be the truth, as Ihe
aforesaid correspondent was
never known lo "lib" about such
things, and he has lived in Cass
county almost a hundred years:
Tay Richards, (irovcr Otto and
Homer Lawton were building
fence on the Richard ranch near
South Bend Tuesday, when a hole
in a side hill and among the roots
of an oak tree was discovered.
The tunnel was some ten feet long
and perhaps two and one-half feel
in circumference. Upon exam
ination it was believed to be the
hiding place of some wild beast.
Curiosity prompted Olio to see
what it contained and he slid
head first into the hole, with the
other two men holding by the
feet. At a given signal drover
was drawn to the surface, holding
two little wriggling animals of a
species yet unknown by any pres
ent. Again Otto slid into the hole
and brought forth two more of the
same kind of animals, and he con
tinued until he had ten of the
aforesaid animals. They were
brought lo the Richard's home,
one mile north of town, and this
morning were brought lo town,
where they are now on exhibition.
They are brown in color, straight
pointed ears. An expert, who saw
them Wednesday morning, says
they are young panthers or other
similar animals. An animal of
this description has been seen in
this neighborhood several limes
and its childlike cry was heard
many limes last winter.
It Startled the World
when the astounding claims were
first made for Bucklen's Arnica
Salve, but forty years of wonder
full cures have proved them true,
and everywhere it is now known
as the best salve on earth for
Burns, Boils, Scalds, Sores, Cuts,
Bruises, Sprains, Swellings,
Eczema, Chapped Hands, Fever
Sores and Piles. Only 25c at
Rynolt & Co.
Adam Schafer In Town.

ant precinct am his mot her, Mrs.
Jacob Shafer, were in Ihe city to

ters. Mr. Shafer says that the
soil is in excellent condiiton for
putting in crops and the farmers
are taking advantage of Ihe fine
weather in filling the soil.
Foley's Kidney Remedy Acted
Quickly.
M. N. deorge, Irondale, Ala.,
was bothered with kidney trouble
for many years. "I was persuaded
to try Foley Kidney Remedy, and
before taking it three days I could
feel its beneficial effects. The
pain left my back, my kidney ac
tion cleared up, and I am so
much better I do not hesitate to
recommend Foley Kidney Rem
edy." Sold by F. O. Fricke A Co.
