Fergus County argus. [volume] (Lewistown, Mont.) 1886-1946, 1899-04-19

The wild turkey in the Ozarks is now
hunted with a slow-tracking dog. and
whole flocks are often killed in this
way. Till the trained dog was en-
ployed to follow up the wary bird this
game fowl could battle the most skill
full hunter. Now when a flock of tur-
keys is found the sportsman has little
difficulty. A good dog will follow a
turkey track that is three or four hours
old and set the birds when overtaken,
just as the pointer does the quail. After
the turkey has been chased awhile il
hides in a tree or under "A log, and stays
there until the hunter. guided by his
dog comes within close range. 1t is as
tonishing what fine instinct a good
turkey dog will develop after a few
months of training in the woods. He
will follow a flock of turkeys for hours
just ahead of the hunter, and indicate
by unmistakable signs when the game
is near. After a turkey has received a
fatal shot it may fly half a mile or more
A trained dog will go straight to q
wounded or dead turkey with the same
percision with which he tracks tn,
game.-Chicago Record.

An Oriental Wedding.

The success attending the japanese
wedding given at Culver's hall on
April II, under the auspices of the
ladies aid society of the Methodist
church, was very gratifying to those
who had it in charge. Before the
wedding a well-arranged program
was carried out and seemed to meet
the approval OF the large audience.
The melodious and catchy trio en-
titled "Three Little Maids from
School," from Gilbert Il Sullivan's
tuneful "Mikado." was charmingly
rendered by Mrs. F. G. Stiles, Mrs. j..
w. Arthur and Miss Stella Mackey,
who were arrayed in dainty Japan
csc gowns. Mrs. s. b. Gray's sweet
voice was shown to advantagein her
difficult solo. Mr.. +. FOlmsbee cap
tivated the audience with his Irish
brogue and fine makeup. The quar-
tet composed of Mr.. and Mrs. 5. b..
Gray, Mrs. f. c. Stiles and Mr.. w. j.
Wells showed careful training and
merited the encore received. Mrs. E.
Folmsbee recited "The Polish Boy"
with much feeling. Miss Margaret
Sipple's popularity was shown In a
striking manner when she recited
"Aunty's Courtship," which was
