Reading about birds this morning re-
minded A. A. Bartlett that he had q very
peculiar relic of his hunting in former
DAYS and he brought down to The
DAILY LEADER Offices very peculiar it-
tie bone formation. 1t looked like a
small skull in outline with opening for
roof of mouth, nose and e~ye-sockets, yet
looking as il the form OF the skull was
awry and dwarfei. The bone structure
was continuous and no indication OF
suture or joint ligature with any other
part OF the animal anatomy. Ii was SIM
ply the Justification of the pericardium or
case OF a ducks heart. Mr.. Bartlett had
shot the duck at one time and his wife
in cleaning it found this peculiar bony
case around the heart and preserved 1T
as a scientific curiosity.
The way some men will take q wife's
absence to heart is well illustrated In the
ease Of w. r. Dingman who has been
round for two days in a half demented
state over the loss OF Mrs. Dingman,
who left her home Wednesday morning
and no one knew Of her whereabouts.
She had recently passed through a siege
of the grippe and like most people hard
" recovered from the tired feeling which
follows she had expressed herself tired
OF life and, suiting the action to the word,
she disappeared unbeknown TO her hus-
band, who has been quite alarmed as to
~hersafety. Parties we're sent out IN search
OF her to-day and she was discovered
this afternoon at a friends in the country
northwest of the CITY and brought back
TO town, much to the relief of her fam.
lily.
