A War Veteran and His Boarders

PAINTED WOODS, June A.-lSpeclal.l T.
In order to catch the mail cut off my Fri
day communication without doing justice
to John Johnson, the war veteran, who
has homestead and tree claim on section
His boarders are one very large hog, that
will weigh 45O pounds dressed, and FIVE
smaller ones. johnson says, that like all
old soldiers, he has hobby. "My hobby
is raising corn to make happy hogs. l like
to see them eat. They need no appetizer.
They get their fill and retire to their hay
beds to sleep. I like to know they are
asleep. A restless hog will never fatten.
They grow more voracious daily. | built
this under ground house for the comfort Of
my boarders. If you want to fatten hogs
on the least amount of corn, build them a
warm pen or house. l raised corn enough
last year to fill this big bin. fed it to
this happy family, and when that corn
was all gone, having saved nice lot for

near Bismarck. The government has been
good to me. I was disabled while in the
war, and now get 800 per month pension.
If lived nearer the city a garden with
this pension would keep me comfortably.

from Mr.. Leavenworth? He was New

Mr.. Mercer when l was in search of q

Thomas Eaton. Moline young man.
had an exceedingly narrow escape from
drowning Sunday afternoon. He and a
companion named Albro had been over
to Gilbertown in a skiff When they got
ready to start back Eaton announced he
was going to row over. But Albro. evi,
IDENTITY not holding very high opinion of
his companions fitness at that particular
time to manage the boat, told him that h e
would do the rowing if Eaton would lie
down in the bottom and keep still; 9TH
erwise Eaton would have to go it alone.
1t appears that Eaton accepted this last
alternative and launched off without his
friend. All went fairly well until the
boat neared the wing dam, where the cur
rent is very swift Here the boat gave
q sudden lurch, Eaton rolled over on one
side, aud the little craft was capsiz,d.
The Dispatch says the moment Eaton was
precipitated into the water he came to a
sufficient realization OF his danger to throw
of his outer garments. including vest
containing $36, and start to swim; but by
this time he had been carried too near the
middle of the main channel. and on ac-
count of the swift current he could make
little Roadway toward the shore. So he
was taken down stream to below the Rock
Island bridge at Davenport. where
| with rare good fortune he was picked up
by skif lowered from a steamboat that
was coming up stream. When rescued
he was black in the face from strangula-
ton, and it was the opinion of his res
cuers that he could not have kept up two
