(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, Aug. 17. (Special.) A
spirited legal fight for possession of a baby
Is being carried on herd and In Calhoun
county between relatives of the child and
the Humana society. The baby Is Clar
ence West, the child of Ruth Richardson,
who live in Calhoun county. The chtld
had been legally adopted by Mr. Fred
West of this city, who had agreed to care
for tb child on payment of a sum of
money to be paid by the child' mother.
Th grandparent of th child knew noth
ing of It existence until a few week ago,
when they cam to De Molne and got
th child, taking It home with them. But
Mrs. West claimed that they had not been
paid In full, and she sent an attorney to
Rockwell City, who secured possession of
th child by habeas corpus proceedings
and returned It here. Now the relatives
of the child appear on the seen and com
mence proceedings In court to again se
cure possession of It, and to have nullified
the papers of adoption. They will cxlm
that the persons who now have the child
are not proper, and an effort will be made
to break up "baby farming" In Des Moines
and elsewhere In the state. The Humane
society here Is Interested In the case and
Is taking an active hand, and the suit is
likely to be warmly conteated.

TUNES IN, HIS OFF LEG
Rare Addition to the Masleal Colony
of Chicago Story of tha
Owner.
Although It is said that a 'whistle hss
been made out of a pig s tall, Alexander N.
Allen, of. No. 256 North Clark street Chi
cago, la probably th flrat pereon who ha
ever mad a musical Instrument out of hla
12.
Put your hand anywhere on hla left thla-h.
from the hip to the knee., end vou feel vi
brations Just as if you were touching a
cabinet organ. Connect hla If g to your ear
with a atethoscope and you hear the earns
musical murmur that you may hear by
those means In the human heart. Indeed,
when everything Is quiet at night Mr. Allen
can hear hla musical leg without using the
stethoscope. Many physicians, some of
whom live In Chicago, have examined th
case and, after all Mr. Allen can tell them
about it unite In saying that tho cas Is
an exreeedlngly singular one.
"I am 88 years old;" said Mr. Allen, "and
fifteen year ago I was a clerk In a store
In Oil City, Ont. One day In th store I
had an open penknife in my hand and en
gaged In a friendly scuffle with another
nian. In Jerking my arm away from him
I ran the email blade of the knife Into my
thigh a distance of, perhaps, an inch and
a half, and I suppose severed the femoral
artery.
"When my trousers were removed the
blood spurted ten feet every time my heart
beat, and in a few seconds I became un
conscious. There was no physician con
venient, and the people about me resorted
to a number of primitive methods of stop
ping the hemorrhage, one of which wa the
application of a mass of cobwebs. Th man
who got the credit et doing the Job, how
ever, was a sort of occullst, 'who claimed
that he (topped the bleeding with a
'charm.'
"At any rate, the flow of blood wa
stopped, the leg waa bandaged 'n th plain
est manner, and the artery healed! For a
long time after I got about I could not
straighten my leg. But gradually the limb
relaxed and finally I walked on it. At pres
ent I walk on It all th time, but I am
sensible that It I a little weak, and I have
been cautioned that violent exercise of any
kind might be fatal.
"Doctors disagree about the case. Some
said I would die unless I submitted to an
operation, and other said the operation
would surely kill me. They are all puszled
at the musical murmur. The general opin
ion Is that the femoral artery was lacerated
and grew together In some way that ob
struct th flow of blood. But how a lac
erated artery could ever heal under such
treatment none of them can understand.
I discovered the Vnuslcal sound aa soon as
I waa able to atand on my feet" Chicago

th most difficult golf course In America,
breaking all record for competition and

able golf as Norman Hunter, who , Is a
product of North Berwick, Scotland, and
who was cheered by the largest group ot
profesalonala from his native land that

that the victory of the Englishmen seemed
a secondary matter. Tho record-breaking

countered, being able 'to capture only two
hole from the Oxonian. Egan was out
In 40, and coming In he equalled Hunter's
score. Hunter frequently holed putts of
150 feet and seemed absolutely 'In control of
the ball on the green. He never required
three putts, took only one putt on six greens
and used 80 putts In th entire round. At
the third tee he topped his drive, but re
covered so well that he took the hole one
under bogle from his young rival. After
a mediocre drive to the twelfth hole, bogle
5, Hunter played so brilliantly that he won
It In three.
