A TRUE FISH STORY.
Where Fish Go and Are Scoopet
Ont by the Wagon Loads.

Where Fish Go and Are Scooped
Ont by the Wagon Loads.
Milwaukee Sentinel.
If you want to see a fish story in real
life, one that you can always believe
and tell to your children and grand
children, one that you can tell your
friends and look them square in the
face and offer to bet your money on,
make a trip to Beaver Dam and go
about three miles up the lake, and you
will seefiSh and how they catch them.
Over 100 men and boys are there all the
time. dipping fish out of large square
holes in the ice with fiat nets. Each
time a net is filed. which is about once
in five minutes the fisherman secures
from half a peck to a bushel of the finny
tribe.
Outlines the nets are too full to lift,
and have to be let down iagain to let
some fish escape before it is possible to
draw the net out of the water, or the
owner calls for help from his nearest
~neighbor. The fish caught are princi
pally bullheads, with now and then
some perch, pickerel and suckers.
The place where these fish are caught
is among a lot of springs where the fish
go for warmer water. 1t is not every
winter that fish may be thus easily
captured, but only when the winter is
very. cold and the ice thick.
The fish then flock in vast schools to
these springs. 1t was formerly believed
that they went there for air, but this
idea is dispelled by the fact that in Or
binary winters, other conditions being
the same, when it is not so cold, nc fish
can be found. They are not always
found at the same place, either, some
times changing to other localities Of the
same nature, Of which there are several.
Some fishermen, not having nets,
make good catches by chopping two
holes in the ice, several rods apart. The
holes soon fill up with |bullheads, and
all the fisherman has to do is to scoop
them out with a pitchfork. When one
hole is cleaned out he goes to the other
one, while the first one fills up again.
Sometimes the pressure from the fish
below forces the upper ones way out Of
the water. on the ice. Many fishermen
catch as high as fifty bushels Of fish in
a day, and the price they get is from 70
to 40 cents per buShel.
The market is right there on the ice.
Farmers c0me from a radius of forty
miles to buy fish.
Usually several farmers club together
and send a man and team aere for a load
of fish, which consists of from forty to
sixty bushels. Some use double
wagon boxes, while others use frozen
pickerel for side sticks to keep the bull
heads from falling off. All day long
loads of fish are seen passing through
Beaver Dam.
Sometimes as many as twenty loaded
sleighs may be be seen at one time
coming off the lake on their way home.
Quite IN extensive business is carried
on by the shippers who buy the fish,
dress them and ship them to the city
markets. where they find a ready sale at
good prices. Some are also sold by the
basket i'll neighboring towns.

GOSSIP.

A. d. Mcmillan, the Californian who
is now matched to wrestle Charley
Moth. of this city, within four weeks
at Gr8co-Roman style for $3.50 a side
and the gate receipts, left last evening
for Evan Lewis training quarters at
Ridgeway, Wis. He must do some
pretty rugged work in the time allotted,
az he is obliged to reduce himself to $50
pounds by noon Of the day of the match.
There has been no decision arrived at
concerning the hall in which it will
occur, but Market hall will probably be
selected, however. Still, should the
scheme materialize to get on a carnival
of athletic sports, lasting several nights,
as has been suggested by certain
devOtees, the new auditorium may be
engaged for the purpose. That would
afford a splendid opportunity for every
body to witness the contests to good
advantage.

AN OLD-TIME TRAMP.
Perhaps an Esquimau Who Was
Moved On 10000 Years Ago.

Moved On 10000 Years Ago.
Galveston News.
Texas has had its old settlers stretch
ing away back toward the dawn of crea-
ton, the hens of W hose garments tradi-
ton does not reach, but whose careers
were probably as full of wild adventure
as that of any Indian or Mexican fighter
that has ever adorned the pages of
Texas history. One of these old settlers
was found about ten days G by d. ID.
Pittman while digging a we'll Oh his lot
on Thomas avenue. Dallas.
At a depth of %thirty-five feet below
the surface, and after blasting through
a stratum of limestone four feet thick,
Mr.. Pittman found a human skeleton in
the post-tertiary sands. The skull, fin
ger bones and other thin bones. on being
brought in contact with the atmosphere.
erumbled away to powder, but some of
the larger bones stood the test of atmos-
pierre exposure. and beyond the crumb-
ling of the a%rticular surfaces are in a
good state of preservation. This is par
ticularlV the case with the thigh bones.
1t in all other respects resembles the
thigh bone Of modern man except as to
his anatomical neck, which DR.. Arm
strong, the city health officer, says is
not shaped like that of the present race.
However, S nature adaptS itself to It's
surroundings, it is to be expected that
there was some difference between the
fore and aft movement of the thigh bone
that was in use 10000 years ago and that
of the present day.
The bone, while as thick and heavy
as that of a man of medium height, is
only eleven inches long. which would
represent a man about four feet two
inches high, or about the stature of an
ESquimau: and. taken in connection
with the geological. formations. those of
the second glacial period, in
which the skeleton was found, there is
handy n doubt but that it belongs to
the ESquimau race. luu va
The cold of that period destroyed the
northern tribes. except such of their
hardest members as escaped South.
That there was a southwark movement
of ESquimauX in those days is as certain
as that there is now a winter movement
of tramps from the rigorous climate of
Iowa and Nebraska to the more genial
one of Texas. Doubtless this poor
Esquimau lived between the paleolithic
and neolithic periOdS-the ages Of un-
polished and of polished stone weapons,
marking the hiatus i'll the Bible between
Adam and the period where connected
history begins.
What a wonderful story could this
skeleton tell if it had a tongue! But
here the question suggests itself. Had
this Esquimau yet reached the origin OF
language? Did he say ''yes," or did he
merely nod his head? Bow did he string
the echoes of his thoughts together?
Unfortunately the skull, that part of it
most valuable to science, has crumbled
away.

PETE's LUCK WITH ELK.
He Thought He Had Missed Them

Wife.

He Thought He Had Missed Them
All, and Went and Beat His
Wife.
San Francisco Examiner.
Il. S. Minott, of Marshfield, Ore, the
center of the elk, bear and cougar
country, has arrived here. MI. Minott,
though a business man. is at the same
time one of the most noted spOrtsmen
Of the wild mountains of Western Ore
gon, He has just been on an elk hunt
ing expedition to the HumptulipS river.
II went up to the HumptuIips," he
said, with Ben Foss, who is a noted
hunter of Marshfield. There are two
ways OF hunting elk and deer there, by
a still hunt and with hounds. We chose
the former. We followed the trail
which we had found and soon came in
sight of quite a band. Then we just
shot. That's all, and brought down an
elk apiece. 1t was something like kill
ing a cow in a barnyard; no frills to it,
nothing dramatic, but easily done.
About this time along came an old
Indian known as HumptulipS Pete, who
lives at the mouth of the Humptulips.
He saw the band of elks, and began
blazing away. The elk were rounding
a ridge, and as one got to the top in the
clearing he would fire. He kept this up
till he had fired eight shots, and he
didn't stop one. They all ran on and
disappeared. The Indian looked at his
rifle, sighted it again, and then exam
ined it all over carefully. Mr..
Foss and /, who had by this time
come up, saw he was much dis
gusted. and told him he had better go
on over the hill, for we believed he had
killed some of the elk, and he would do
we'll to go and see any way. He shook
his head, appeared more put out than
ever, and finally left us, and went toward
his cabin on the Humptulips. We were
killed, chopping off their heads, and
saving some meat. so that we didn't
think of him again for some time.
When we got through we went down to
the Indians cabin.
"As we approached we heard an aW-
full shriekilig and sounds of somebody
beating somebody else. We rushed in,
and there Indian Pete was hammering
the life out of his Squaw. She was al
| most killed. We hauled him off, and
finally got from him a story that she
| had bewitched his gun. He said that
was the reason he hadn't killed the elk.
We explained to the SuperstitiouS In
dian that there was nothing in that, and
that he had probably shot some of them,
and if he would 90 over there we would
go with him. We finally got him to
consent to it.
"All of us went back, and just below
the hill we found eight elk lying dead.
He had hit one every time-shot it in
the p~aunch-and they had run a long
way before dropping. They'll do that
when they are shot that way. 1t was
such a killing as [ never saw before.
There the elk were, all scattered out in
a row in a distance of an eighth of a

MAJ. Baldwin and Congressman
Hall Not Seeking Trouble.
Specialize the Globe.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE Repub-
lican papers in Minnesota are making
desperate efforts to create discussions
in the Democratic ranks. and the fact
that they have accomplished so little
has made some of them feel very miser-
able. Interviews that never took place
have been printed in which prominent
Democrats were quoted as saying this
and that about other leaders, and de-
malls and ~disavowaIs have seemed to
have no effect in staying the reports.
Congressman Hall and Baldwin have
one day been quoted as fiercely de-
n~ouncing Hon. Michael Doran, and the
very next day they have been roasted
to a turn" because they have not taken
up arms against the national commit
teeman.
All this has been very amusing, and
the people seem to be taking it at its
proper worth. The Democratic papers
OF the state refuse TO print the matter,
and thus give it any seeming weight.
and the Republican local papers have
better uses to which to devote their
columns. Both Mai. Baldwin and Con-
gresham Hall have declined time and
again to say anything %derOgatory to any
other Democrat, and they propose to
adhere to this policy. They want to do
all in their power to promote harmony
in the councils of the Democracy of
Minnesota. and the articles that would
make them appear as walking around
with chips on their shoulders are ab-
surd and without any foundation in
fart.
