Contractor Larkin Says Ho IJus
- Work for Fifty Trams to Start
In TonioOon Morning.
Thos. Larkin of the Larkin Con-
struction company this afternoon
stated that if the files will permit
he expects to have a hundred'
trams at work on the good roads in
this district before this week is
over. He stated that he wants fifty
or seventy-ftye teams' to start in
tomorrow at hauling gravel from
the Wilson pit to the work on tlie
road running out by the county
farm. Owners of te.anu may report
to the office, upstairs corner Crock-
ett and Houston streets. He said
that he prefers to give Grayson
county teams the benefit or the
work and as nearly as possible
teams in roads improvement district
No. 2, because these are the people
that must pay the tax.
There have been many inquiries
at the office recently as to when
the teams would be put to work.
Arrangements for work have pro-
gressed steadily and along substan-
tial lines. The company is thor-
oughly responsible and partly for
the reason of its sound financial
standing it secured this contract.
Today a thirty horsepower Ohio
tractor roller was moved out to
the work on the road by the county
farm. It is a gigantic piece of ma-
chinery, weighing ten tons. It trav-
els about 2 % nii'es per hour and
will do twenty miles per day easily.
Of course in actual work on the
road, where the same roadbed is
gone over severa’ times, the finish-
ed road is not so great.
B. B. Mead of San Antonio is the
export here to install the roller in
use and H. H. Stone is to be the
engineer with the company during
the road construction. ‘
Everything is getting along nice-
ly. A considerable portion of road
has be< n graded. C. M. Fo'ey, who
has the contract for concrete work,
is getting along a'l right with the
bridges. However, he is being
slightly delayed oil account ef steel
to reinforce the concrete. The only
tiling that seems to be working in
opposition to progress now is the
flies. They make it almost impos-
sible for teams Ijji work hut they
dd not seem so bad' the last day
o#S two: also some people prophesy
croier weather and that that will
help get lid of them.

Ex-
pert veterinarians at the Kansas
Agricultural College announced that
finding today after a careful study.
The bacteriologist lias discovered a
germ which, it is claimed, causes
tne disease. The germ is similar to
the one which causes human menin-
gitis. When injected into a guinea
pig it produced death within forty-
eight hours, it is known technically
as diplocoecus.
As the germ lias been isolated, it
is thought the present outbreak is
infecilous hut not. contagious, in au-
dition to the bacteriological exami-
nations of abnormal fluids, clinical
and post-mortem examinations were
made. Further investigation along
bacteriological lines is being made
by the college in an effort to pro-
duce a serum to combat the disease.
"It is our opinion." said Dr. R.
R. Dykstra “that diseased animals
contaminate• the food and water
supplv. Healthy animals contract
the disease by taking the germ in'o
their systems with this contaminated
food and water."

Except in some of the earlier
rounds. Flynn admluisterod a se-
vere beating to the championship as-
pirant. He closed his former sparr-
ing partner's left eye and drew
blood from the Pace more than
once. During the last five round!
he had Miller staggering part of.the
time mid lour times almost put ovef
a knockout. ,
Miller was willing at all times,
and forced the fighting through
many of the rounds. He stood and
exchanged punch for punch with
Flynn and started several rallies
that brought the crowd to its feet.
Flynn used an effective right up-
percut and jolted Miller with head
punches. He also landed frequently
on the body. During the tenth
round, after Miller had beaten
Flynn around the ring in a sensa-
tional rally, he stood and looked at
the fireman and then said smilingly:
“Gee, Flynn, I've got to give it
to you. You're a tough guy.”
