Exaggerated.

A report received on Tuesday from
St. Paul said that the state board Of
health had its weather eye on Alex
andria and that the quarantining of
the village against the outside world
was being considered. 1t was said
by the Journal-Press informant that
doctor there had been treating
smallpox as though it were not a
contagious diseases and that little or
no effort had been made to restrict
affected persons to their own homes.
Even the doctors daughter, who is
suffering from the Infection. was re-
ported to have gone about the village
with her face broken out. With these
conditions obtaining and reported to
the state board of health, it was small
wonder that some arbitrary action
was contemplated. An inquiry by
phone at Alexandria today, however,
disclosed the fact that the reports were
exaggerated. The Post-News office
admitted that there are quite a num-
Der of cases in the village but said
that they were being properly quaran-
tined. The DOCTORS daughter was

Severe Accident.

On Sunday last Isaac Henry, a
young man of sixteen years OF age hv-
ing near Birch lake was out with re-
yolver and chased grey squirrel into
a shock of corn. He mounted the
shock, revolver in hand cooked for
immediate use, and attempted to
frighten the animal out of it's cover
In dancing about the revolver was dis
charged, the ball entering his leg just
aboue knee, passed close to and under
the knee cap to a point near and below
the joint. DR.. story of Grey Eagle,
was called and Immediately telephoned
for DR.. Kirghis, who went out and fail
ing to locate the bullet accurately,
brought the young man to this city.
On Monday morning he was taken to
the office of DIR. Lewis, where the x ray
machine was brought into requisition.
The bullet could be soon, but it was SO
close to the joint that it was thought
best not to remove it for the present al
least. Young Henry returned home
on Monday.

Better Look Out.

It has come to the knowledge of the
HERALD thatquail have been offered
for sale in this city right recently.
Under the law it is a punishable Of
fence to buy as it is to sell. Who
ever has quail in his possession is
guilty of violation of the law and sub
ject to heavy penalties, and the
law will be enforced.
Quail are just beginning to secure
foothold in this vicenity, and there is
no finer game bird. To trap o.
slaughter them with guns at this sea-
sen of the year means to exterminate
them. 1t is their habit to huddle
closely during cold weather and fire.
duently there are from twenty to fifty
birds in a bunch. and a well-directed
charge OF shot would kill the most OF
the flock.
CT W. Virgin of West Union, is
feeding flock of thirty-6ye., He has
built bow house for them, and under
this sprinkles feed freely Every
night and morning. they fly in from a
neightoring swamp for their food,
and are quite tame. He frequently
sees them SO closely focked that he
could cover them all with a horse
blanket. He will protect them all
winter and thinks they will breed neal
the feeding place next spring.
