Day Operator e. L. Belden, OF the
went to Nevada this
morning, where he was summoned be-
fore the Story county court to act as
witness in a damage suit brought
against the company by 4 young man
named Croker, living at Colo. Croker
was injured slightly in this city last
summer, when he fell from the North
Westerns No. II, striking against
switch target and scratching and cut
ting his face somewhat. He brings all
action for damages. alleging that the
conductor put him Off while the train
was in motion. Officer Mike Clark, of
this city. will also likely be called as
witness.
officer Mike Clark tells a story that
will make every huntsman in the city
have desire to stay up all night on the
next night that snow is indicated by the
atmospheric conditions. The officers
story deals with wild geese. and IL any
one else but Mike Clark was telling it it
would be hard to believe. AS is known
on Wednesday morning, shortly before /
o'clock, and continuing until about 2:20,
quite little snow fell, SO much, in fact.
that the fall was noticeable to early
Iisers. 1t happened to find a number of
f,ocks Of wild geese, bound on their pill
Grimage south, and number of the
geese were over the city when the wet
SNOW, falling on their wings. bore them
downward. Mr.. Clark was standing near
the Center street railroad gates, under
on electric light, when he was surprised
to hear strange noise. like one might
expect to hear upon entering barnyard
where geese were kept, and when the
leader OF the flock sounds warning
note Of surprise or disturbance. Mr..
Clark looked upward at point where
the light reflected, and he says that in
the neighborhood Of fifty wild geese
were flying to and fro, seeming to be
bewildered and blinded by the light.
Each one was honking and quacking
with all his power, and the louder the
noise the more confused the flock
seemed to get. Mr.. Clark says that even
in the dark, had he had shotgun and
not been an officer Of the law, he thinks
lie could have killed a dozen before they
would have been frightened enough to
make their escape. AS the presence of
wild geese in the midst Of a thlckly
populated community, is sight enough
in itself the officer was satisfied to
Withstand the temptation of slaughter.
