Ras Anderson was victim
yesterday evening of a practical
joke that cost him two chickens.
He purchased box with half a
dozen spring chickens of a lady
and left them setting on the
walk. He telephoned his boys
OF the purchase and instructed
them to come down town and
take them home. Before he went
home he observed that his chick
ems were gone, but supposing his
own boys had taken them home
he did not mistrust that he had
been victimized until he reached
home and the chickens not there.
This morning when he came
down he hunted up the marshall
and impaired to him his tale of
woe and finally agreed to give
two of the chickens to the mar
shall if he would locate them for
him. The marshall was not long
in finding the stolen chickens,
but by this time Rass tumbled
to the racket and declined to
sware out warrant for the per-
petrator and counted himself
lucky to get four of them back.
But it will be hard to convince
him that the marshall was not
an accomplice.

and all on board from destruction.
i Ranshaw was a good operator,
but his health failed, he became
partially paralyzed and was remov-

Posg, where the work is lighter.
He complained Of pain in his
head but he told the day operator
he was sure he could get through
the night all right. He attended to
his duties, received and relayed
train orders safely, but, realizing
that his mind was going, set the
danger signal for the express.
Amazed.at the red light -Engin-

express, leaped from his cab. The
conductor and brakeman joined
him, and they found Ranshaw in
state of complete mental collapse.
Another operator was found, after
half an hours delay, and after
much precautionary telegraphing
the express was allowed to proceed.
Ranshaw was taken to his home
at Litchfield. Three men were re-
quired to get him on the train.

Monday evening to discuss plans for
the proposed bowling league. The at
tendance was not large but those pres
ent seemed of the opinion that it would
be possible to organize the league.
One club of five has already been
formed and there are two more which
will be organized shortly. Members
of the Columbia club desire to main
tain their organization and will hold
regular practice matches as in years
past. They will, however, enter club
of five in the league to contest for the
championship. Mr.. Burg wishes it
understood that his offer of silver
cup or some other suitable trophy
still holds good if four or six clubs
will participate in the race.

Are Fishing on Pratries.

Old residents of Brown county say
that the present stage OF water in lakes
and rivers is without precedent. For
forty years, or within the memory Of
the "oldest inhabitant, there has not
been so much water as at the present
time and the conditions are something
entirely new. The earth is simply
saturated with acqua pura and cannot
absorb any more OF the moisture, it
running off and filing old watercourses
which have been dry for years. In
Linden and Lake Hanska townships
fish are being caught on the prairies,
they having assembled the rivers and
are now to be found in many small
running creeks. Carp are said to have
made their way into several Of the
lakes and fishermen fear that they will
create havoc with the different lake
varieties.

After the Bow Vows.

Mayor G. Weschcke created new
city officer last Friday, when he
appointed Herman Schleuder dog
catcher. This may be taken as the
inauguration of a relentless campaign
against the bows vows, for it is pro-
posed to enforce the ordinance strictly
and any tagless canine who may fall
into the clutches of Mr.. Schleuder will
be punished to the full extent of the
law. A portion of the old school
building in German Park has been
fitted out as pound and there the
four-legged prisoners will be confined,
to be shot if not redeemed by their
masters. It is understood that exc
cutions will take place at daybreak,
in strict accordance with the military
code, and in other ways Mr.. Schleuder
is prepared to give dignity and stand
ing to his position. Therefore, people
who love their pups will pay the license
fees demanded and save their dogs from
ignominious deaths.

Will Complete Foundation.

Given favorable weather, Pullman
& Gronau will have no trouble what
ever in completing the foundation for
the Brown county Jail. Men in their
employ have finished the excavation
and the concrete bases for the base
ment walls are in place. This week
the masons will commence laying stone
and in short time things will be in
readiness for the bricklayers. It is
not intended to start upon the super
structure this fall. When the bed Of
concrete beneath the cell portion shall
have been put in the work will cease
and operations will be suspended until
next spring. By that time the base
ment will have settled nicely and the
work can be pushed to completion.
