j. J. Parsons last week went to Ve-
mango county and secured the horse
stolen from him year ago. He found
the horse several miles on the other side

learned that Theodore Koenig handled
the ribbons when they were driven of.

This is the time of year when forest
fires are of most frequent occurrence,
and constables are charged with the duty
of seeing that all such are nipped in the
bud, and to that end have authority to
summon assistance from the residents of
their townships. With proper vigilence
on the part of these officers and the CO.
operation of all good citizens forest fires
can be reduced to minimum. Keep an
eye out for fires as well as for those who
either carelessly or maliciously start
them.

The t.outing season opened on Fri
! day last. If there is any doubt about 1t
this declaration can readily be proven by
| four-fifths of the inhabitants of this sec
ton. At least that percentage was aware
of it and took advantage of the opening
day to wear off the wire edge. Little
coon creek, which was stocked three
years ago and is supposed to have had a
rest during that time, was favorite re-
sort by not less than fifty majority. We
attempted to edit few of the beauties
into our basket, but "beggars" dozen
was the extent of ten hours effort. Joe
Scowden was along and made several at
tempts TO bug a location but failed and
was obliged to wait his turn to drop in
his hook, like waiting for shave at the
barbershop. Sheriff Walker was also
one of the party, but having for eight OF
ten years travelled the stream as engineer
of the logging train he was "onto his job
all right and having taken less bait and
more money he succeeded in carrying
away the largest basket. The force was
large enough and with little njne
could have licked the Spaniards.
