A writer from Maryland in the
American Field makes some remarks
about a duck which he calls creek
shutters. better known as the ring-neck
duck. He says that they fly twice as
fast as swans. and swans have flown at
the rate of 80 miles an hour over a
measured course. Besides being bullet
like flyers, they are also "corkers for
brains" Instead of coming to the de-
cpys, like decent fool ducks, they have

less dangerous localities, and are out

The kinds of ducks most likely TO
come to one locality during a given mi

the creek shuffiers, a bird abundant in
Florida, and varying in numbers from
year to year in the North. One year
canvasbacks come in thousands, and,

FELL DOWN A CHUTE
John G. Shea Instantly Killed in the

HIS BODY BADLY CRUSHED
He Was Walking Along the 600
Foot Level and Dropped to the
1.OOO-He Leaves Two Grown
Sons and Daugh; ;er.

John G. Shea met instant death by
falling 100 feet down an ore chute in
the High Ore mine about half-past 10
O'Clock last night. He was walking
along the 900-foot level near the place
where he was at work, when he stepped
into the chute and fell to the 1,O00-foot
level. His body was badly crushed by
his terrible fall and he was dead when
he was picked up at the bottom of the
chute. The chute was 24x20 inches and
the level surrounding the opening was
wen lighted. The accident appears to
have been due to Sheas own careless
ness Jerry Scannew. his partner, saw
him walking along the level and saw
him fall into the chute. Coroner Rich
ards and Deputy State Mine Inspector
Miles were notified and both visited the
mine.
The body was removed to Sherman's
undertaking rooms and an inquest will
be held at o'clock this evening at the
Butte undertaking rooms.
Shea was a Widbwer and leaves two
grown sons and a daughter and resided
in Gray Rock Terrace. He sometimes
went by the name of G. Con Shea, to
distinguish him from others of the
same name.
