Death OF Aged Citizen.

Daniel Craigo, one of the oldest
persons in Wayne county, died at the
home of his son AL. Craigo two miles
northeast of Corydon on Saturday
morning, from the infirmities incident
to old age, no disease being apparent,
just wearing out of the faculties. He
had attained the age of 81 years and IA
days. He was born in Pennsylvania and
came to Iowa in 1859, settled at Eddy
vile where the family remained until
1874, when they moved to Allerton,
Wayne county. From there they
moved to Garden Grove where his wife
died about three years ago, after we'd
ded life of over 81 years. Since then he
had made his home with son AL. Craigo
most of the time. To the couple 10 chill
dren were born of which eight are now
living, viz: AL. and Charles of Cory
don; Nate, Leon; James, Garden Grove;
Joseph, Cedar Rapids; Benjami4 Paw
nee City, Neb., and Anderson( Des
Moines. The funeral took PLACID yes
terday, the remains being TAXI to
Garden Grove for interment by tho side
of his wife.-Corydon Democrat.

State Game Warden Preparing
Pamphlet.

Leon sportsmen will be interested in
little pamphlet which is being pre-
pared by Game Warden Lincoln and
which is to be issued as soon as the
state legislature adjourns. Many i'm
portant and vital changes have been
made in the game laws at this session.
Every sportsman in the state will be
interested in these changes. They are
given here in brief form, but will be
| explained in detail in the official circu-
lar and also in the publication biennial
ly by the warden in which the law is
printed verbatim. This year it is the
intention of Warden Lincoln to arrange
under the head 1T Shall Be Unlawful
To- all the ways and manner in which
1T is possible to violate the fish and
| game laws.
Under the amended law the closed
fishing season will commence Novem-
Der Is, instead of November /.
The open season will commence May
and close November Is. The use of the
trot line is prohibited.
| The law authorizing the game warden
to issue seining and spearing permits
has been abolished and the use of seine
and spear absolutely prohibited under
heavy penalties, except in bodies of
water not less than two miles square.
This permits seining and spearing in the
big lakes.
The possession of seine or spear is
prima facie evidence of the fact that
it is intended for illegal use, and any
such device may be seized by any peace
officer and destroyed. Seines can be
used in the lakes between June 1 and
December 1.
The commencement of the open sea-
son on quail has been changed from
January to December Is, making the
season from November to December Is.
Under an amendment of the law ducks
are placed in the category of wild birds
which it is unlawful to kill in greater
numbers than twenty-five a day.
Twenty-Five game birds can be killed
every day for five days, for instance,
but not more than twelve of them
shipped in any day by freight or ex-
press, and each shipment must be
accompanied by an affidavit that the
birds were killed for private use and
are not intended for market-that they
are not shipped for sale or profit. No
firm shall have more than twenty-five
game birds, other than ducks, in their
possession at any time.
The proposition to protect the prairie
chicken for term of three years was
passed upon favorably by the legisla-
tive committee, as was the proposed

Came Near Being Drowned.

Last Thursday the Ladies Aid Society
of the M. E. church, by a previous ar
rangement, vert down to Gold Elmores
to do some sewing. Before getting
there it began to rain and continued to
rain all day, but none of them thought
what was before them. Between
and 5 o'clock they decided to come
home so Mr.. Richardson hitched up the
team and Gold harnessed his team to
hitch in the lead as the roads were
in such condition one team could not
pull the wagon and as it was, part of
the load had to stay. Coming to the
branch this side of Colds, it was on
rampage, but with his team in the lead
they started across; but the bridge be-
ing a mud bridge, part of it had wash
ed away and Of course could not be seen.
Colds team got across all right but Mr..
Richardson's team stepped in the hole.

Gold began the work of rescuing the
party, which he did heroically, though
having to almost swim to get the women
out of the wagon. 1t was quite job,
but all got in water of different depths.
Had the wagon not caught in some way
to hold it on the bridge some of them if
not all would have been drowned.
