Fourteen Cows
Stripped Of their Tails

GOSHEN, N, Y, Dec. 30.-The Rev.
Andrew Schriver. retired Methodist
preacher and ex-Presiding Elder OF
this conference district, is now pro-
prietor of o farm near Chester. He had
a fine herd OF Holstein cows. but four
teen of them are now minns their tails
because of o Misunderstanding be-
tween Mr. Schriyer and one OF his
farmhands. He called the man to &C
count yesterday for not performing
certain duties which he was ordered
to do. The man did not like such treat
ment from his employer on Sunday. SO
he went TO the barn and severed the
tails OF fourteen OF the choicest cows.
When he had completed the job he
departed for parts unknown. leaving
the COW stables looking like
slaughter house. Some time after
wards the minister discovered the con-
dition of his cows and knowing who
to blame for the deed, he laid plans to
capture the culprit, who is, however,
still at large.

some sort OF recognition Of Rear Admiral

Senators as desired to discuss the ques.

told them his view is that the question

Arizona's Rich Game Region
Where Wild Turkeys Abound

I creek. three of the birds weighing q
pounds, the largest ever known TO be
killed. although the Apache guide de-
clared he had shot them weighing as
heavy as 80 pounds.
Fra Agapida, historian and confes-
sor TO Cortez. doubtless had in mind
the wild turkeys OF Arizona when he
wrote brief narrative of his first visit
to Mexico and the adjoining country.
| He speaks of the abundance OF fine
food fish In the American streams. and
/ tells of the venison and OF variety
OF wild cattle. meaning. perhaps. the
bison, which were hunted for food.
There Is also a bird" says he,
much greater In bigness than the
peacock, that Is found within the for
ests and meadows all over the country.
IT surpasses as food any wild birds we
have found up to this time. The ma
| tives do not shoot these birds with ar
rows and catch them in various kinds
OF snares. They can fly but prefer to
run. which they do with exceeding
! swiftness"
II Is vvey likely that nowhere on
this continent is the wild turkey to be
found in such NUMBERS as In the
mountains of Eastern Arizona, and in
deed, II seems probable that he will
| become extinct elsewhere.
The wild turkeys range once ex-
| tended from mexico as far as the pres
ent State OF Michigan and even into
Ontario Turkeys were plentiful In
Tennessee, Kentucky. Illinois, Indiana

Ii is a well known fact among hunt
ers of the turkey that II one bird Is
wounded or sick the others will stay
close by and guard and feed It. In
stances, too. have been known where
wild gobblers have faced death to de-
fend their mates. William Moeur,
hunter and cattleman In the White
mountains. tells of the narrow escape
from death which his young son ex-
perienced at the beak and spurs OF
huge and angry gobbler a few years
ago. The boy. but 13 years old. with
rife. had gone in search OF tur-
keys. Just outside the clearing around
the Moeur home he came across an
immense gobbler and his mate. They
had been feeding with the chickens
and heavy with food. The boy shot
the hen and she fell. badly wounded.
Young Moeur started toward her,
neglecting to reload his rife. He stoop-
ped over the hen to pick her up
when the gobbler come out of the
bushes and In an instant had flown
down. and with bill and claws the big
trrrey attacked him. The bird had
badly scratched and pecked him when
one of Moeur's dogs. which had follow
ed the lad, came up and drove away
the gobbler. The boy dragged himself
to the ranch and was in bed for weeks
He will always bear the scars left by
the frenzied turkey.
Last winter one OF Moeur's dogs
treed large flock of turkeys and pull
ed down a gobbler. The other birds
came to the rescue and by the time
the hunters came up the dog was near
" chopped to pieces.

due on the sale CT certain property for
back taxes, penalty and interest. Ac-
cording to the records, the sale Of the
property in question, which had reverted
to the state and which was bid in by
the New Brighton company, was never
approved by the state auditor. The abate-
ment of taxes amounted to $751; %, having
in some manner been secured without
even the knowledge of the board of coun-

evidence is the instrument itself which
shows that a settlement was made I'M

Pope was reticent as to the investigation,
but he admitted that this and other
transactions, looking equally as bad, had
been the subject Of official scrutiny. AS
to the New Brighton deal, he said it

drinking wood alcohol and cocaine, re-
pose in a small marble urn at Forest
cemetery.
In the presence of her mother, who
came from Tacoma to implant the kiss
of mothe1ly affection before the remains
were consigned to the grave and the
husband, who stood by with a heart rent
with anguish, all but the memory of her
rash act was blotted out under the effects
of cleansing fire.
The funeral services over the remains
OF the youthful wife took place at Dam
piers undertaking rooms yesterday after
noon the services being read by Rev.
c. D. Andrews, of Christ church, while
the Metropolitan quartette sang The
husband and the mother only were the
mournerS, and as the quartette softly
sang, the one gave forth her anguish
in sobs, while the other bore his grief in
silence and with bowed head Following
the services the remains were taken to
Forest cemetery and cremated.
According to the dispatches Mrs Wal
ker's death, which occurred at Lincoln,
Neb., was due to wood alcohol and CO.
caine taken with suicidal intent Found
with her was J. Albert Brink, travelling
salesman from Milwaukee, also suffering
from the effects of a similar dose The
woman succumbed and the man lived,

His wife was daughter of N. D. Root,
a former superintendent of the Northern
Pacific road. She had been a resident Of

no children.
The husband does not believe the story
given out by Brink and says his wife end

Comptroller McCardy is the only one so
far to put into effect the rule of closing
his office on Saturday afternoon. lrhe
others keep one man on duty, of those
employed each taking his turn at re-

There is no statutory act that de-
mands the Offices to be kept open, and
as a way out of the difficulty an agree
ment may be reached between all the
officials by which all the offices will be
closed tight.
