Of the ordinary has just been decided
in Justice Halstead's court Morris

shot and killed a wounded deer and
proceeded to dress it. He had just
started when o. j. Tabor and Frank
Meyers of Prairie du Sac appeared and
both claimed they wounded the deer,
having followed it's trail. Meyers put
a hunters license tag upon the car
cass With cooked rifles the three men
stood guard over the carcass all night
and part of the next day, when Meyers
took the carcass home. The. matter
was referred to Game Warden HUI
bert, but he had no authority to decide
the dispute.

sheriff writ of replevin and the deer
was brought to Baraboo. Fifteen wit
nesses were examined in the court
trial. Attorney Swanson of Madison
appeared for Meyers and Tabor and

A Legend of Nantucket.

About Vineyard sound there are nu-
merous legends of a famous Indian
giant. It is said that the rocks at Sea-
comet are the remains of his wife,
whom he threw into the sea there. He
turned his children into fishes and emp
tying out his pipe one day formed Nam
tucket out of it's ashes. This latter
story of Nantucket's source must ac-
count likewise for the we'll known story
of that old Nantucket captain who was
accustomed to make his reckonings by
tasting the earth brought up on sound
ing. One day the lead was dipped in
some earth brought on board ship from
the island, and the captain, after tast-
ing, leaped from his berth in great
excitement exclaiming, "Nantucket's
sunk, and here we are right over ol0
Marin Hackett's gardenv' Naturally
he would recognize the taste of tobacco
ashes.
