morning returned an indictment
againt Joseph Mulick, charging the
crime of manslaughter. About a
month ago Mulick and man named
Marburger while working around a
threshing machine got into a discus
sion and finally came to blows. They
separated, but took up the fight the
next morning, and during the trouble
Mulick kicked his antagonist in the
abdomen. The blow did not at first
seem to be serious, but it soon proved
to be so, and resulted in the death of
Marburger the next day.

This pretty good story is told of a
vericund youth who had just complet-
ed his apprenticeship as a carpenter.
He dropped into jewelry store and
after looking at some fraternity pins,
asked: How much is this one with
square and compasses on?" pointing
to Masonic pin. Give dollars" said
the dealer. "You haven't got one
with hand saw ON have you? I'm
just out of my time and I'm going to
set up as carpenter and jiner. I'd like
to have something to wear so people
would know what I am doing. I'll
take it, though I'd like to have one
with hand saw but I guess this
ones plain enough. The compass is
to mark out our work and square is to
measure it out and every gol durn
fool knows that G stands for gimlet. ("
Some time the first of the month
Roy Hastings of Waukon had a horse
balk with him, and in his endeavor
to persuade the animal to move on,
conceived the idea of building a fire
under him and thereby "burn him
out" This idea resulted in his being
taken before Justice Thompson on
Friday last and he is now serving a
ten days. sentence in Jail. The ami
NAL was burned quite badly but no
care was taken Of him, except to turn
him out to pasture, and the matter
was reported to the authorities by
Jake Beal and a warrant sworn out for
his arrest. Sheriff Bulman served the
warrant and put the horse out of its
misery by shooting. At Hastings
hearing he stated that he could pay
no fine and was given ten days in Jail.
While coming upon the train the
other day we enjoyed an hours in
spection Of the special car of the Iowa
State Fish Commission, in charge of
Commissioner Geo. A. Lincoln. The
car contained about 1000 game fish,
croppies, silver, rock and black bass,
pike and sunfish, averaging from four
to eighteen inches in length, which
were deposited in Clear Lake. AL
though handicapped by the oversight
of the recent state Legislature in not
making the usual appropriation Mr..
Lincoln is doing great work for the
Iowa fishermen. Instead of Matching
fish and filling the stream with frye,
few of which ever live to grow to
reasonable size, he is seining these
game fish from the bayous and back
water of the Mississippi, where they
would die if allowed to remain, and
replanishing the inland waters with
large game fish. We secured his pro-
mise to deliver a car load for the
Upper Iowa this fall if possible, or if
not, next spring
