Promises to be Large
This Year.
FOOD FOR SQUIRREL
Which Hoard Away Large
Quantities for Their Food
--Hickory Trees Be-
coming Scarce.

Country boys are looking exceed
ingly wise, and those of their city
cousins who have been out into the
country of late are also interested, for
the prospects are that this will be a
big year for nuts. Prosperity Is es-
pecially noticeable in the chestnut de-
partment in this county and those sur
rounding it, and it is stated that wal
nuts, hickory nuts and the other var
ieties of things that make mid-winter
evenings around an open are endurable
are so plentiful.
This means a great deal to the coun-
try boy, who will have to get up early
and late for several weeks, when once
the season is in full blast.
The country boy gathers the nuts
for his own future comfort and for
the spending money he may get from
gales of his hoardings. The boys on
tie farms around Canton have sized
I'D the situation thoroughly and
know the places where the trees and
nuts are tickest, and wild horses
could not draw their secrets from
them at this time. .s
The squirrels, also, will be benefc-
iaries of the big crop They will
hoard away quantities of the nuts for
their winter food, and as consequence
will live high" This means that
they will thrive and that next year
will probably be a busy one for the
huntsmen who are fond of seeking the
squirrel.
OF walnuts there is usually a good
crop, but the hickory trees have been
pretty thoroughly cleaned out of this
vicinity because of the value of the
wood, and this makes it necessary for
the surviving trees to bear especially
well in order that they may be any
thing for the gatherers.
Hazel thickets tell the same tale as
the trees, and the small boy and some
of his older relatives too, will have
many a good time this winter, crack
ing nuts, and fingers, and telling sto-
ries in the long winter evenings.

Idle Moments.

II is well known that the county is
frequently fleeced In the matter of
claims filed with the commissioners
for sheep killed by dogs. Any old
pelter that dies from dog bite is al
ways transformed into the best sheep
in the flock by the time it goes
through the intricacies of filing the
claim and getting it allowed.
Auditor Reed tells one of farmer
who presented claim for sheep kill
ed. He wanted 81 head for those
killed and 50 each for the damage
done to the survivors in the flock, 1t
being claimed that the fright had u
tendency to make them go off their
feed and lose in value. This claim
was deemed all right and paid. Two
weeks later the farmer was back, the
residue Of his sheep having been kill
ed by dogs.
"How does 1t come" said the audi
tor, that two weeks ago when the
first sheep were killed. that they were
only worth 81 head, and that the
fright caused shrinkage in value OF
81 each, and yet now you come in and
say that they were worth IS each I,
That fright must have done them
good" The claim was remanded for
readjustment.
Another instance was given of a
man who wanted pay out Of the dog
fund for hog that had been killed
by dogs.
David Hammond, the veteran iron
bridge builder and who is yice-preSi-
dent of the Canton Bridge company.
stated Friday that his first bridge
contracts in Stark county were Sc
cured in 1861, when combination
bridges Of iron, wood and stone were
built. His first bridge shop was out
OF doors, where the work was done.
81 constructed the first iron bridge
ever made in Canton in a black
smith shop that stood on an alley
down below Rex street." stated Mr..

Deputy Game Warden George Beth
el of this city made u flying trip to
Princeton. and there made several ar
rests for violation of the game laws
of the state, and also confiscated 81
ducks. which he brought to this city
and stored on ice at the Armour
plant until the same were ordered
sold upon instructions from Justice
Slaughter of Princeton. before whom
the cases were tried. One shipper of
Princeton was fined 500 and costs.
and warrants have been issued for
the arrest of the Ney brothers, who
are accused of killing the ducks and
cmsigning them to a local butcher.
So far the Ney brothers have evaded
arrest. The laws provide that no
game can be shipped out of the state
and not more than u birds to any
single party in the state. 1t is this
section that both the shipper and the
sportsmen violated.
