erel Surrender to Owen Marion,

Tales of the capture of big fish
are plenty enough these days when
the pickerel are running in the
marshes and the warm spring days
are sufficient excuse for some sli ght
prevarication relative to weights and
measures, but it remains for Owen
Marion to capture fish by an en-
tirely new method and one that is
considered hardly fair by his brother
sportsmen. Mr. Maroon went pick
erel shooting, yesterday and slot at IA
large fish. He shot under the fish
which cavortcd around in the water
for a moment or two and then made
a rush and landed itself high and
dry some three or four feet above the
waters edge in the meadow. In

to the. lake and yell Bang where
upon the fish will take to the woods.

Finds Father After Long Absence

Frank A. Wilson, who went West
three weeks ago to search for his
father from whom nothing had been
heard in thirty years, has returned
home. He was successful in his
search. MIR. Wilson, ST., left his
home one morning over thirty years
ago and his family had never heard
directly from him since. Disagree
ments with his wife was the cause.
Several years ago the family heard
that he was in Chicago.
Mrs. Wilson died few weeks ago
leaving quite valuable property,
free from debt, and the son, the only
heir. In order that the property
might be legally settled it was nee
essary to secure the signature of Mr..
Wilson, ST., to certain papers OF
proofs of his death. The son found
him in Chicago and everything in
dictated that he had been prosperous.
He entertained his son at his house
in a royal manner, signed the docu-
ments, and the estate will soon be
settled

A question of authority has come
up between the principal of Black
River academy and certain pupils
concerned in the dance that followed
the junior class play.
Mr.. Heald takes the ground that
nancing in the middle of the school
week demoralizes scholarship, and
reserves the right given by the acad-
envy bylaws to say in what manner
pupils shall spend their evenings.
He accordingly forbade the class
to give the dance and forbade indi-
vidual members of the academy from
dancing, under penalty of suspen-
sion, subject to the action of thetrus-
tees.
The question hinges more on the
right of the principal to oversee and
direct school affairs than on the mer-
its of the dancing idea. In other
words, the law being as it is, it is
obedience VS.. disobedience of the
schools authority.
