The first day Of September known as
"chicken day" was not one favorable
to hunters, as during the day heavy
rain storm set in and drove the
sportsmen under cover. Many were
disappointed in not having ordinary
success while others seem to have re-
turned with good results. 1t is gener-
ally conceded, however, that the prairie

FRED HARRIS ARRESTED
Falls From Grace and Will Pay
the Penalty.

The following relates 10 IA starchy
young fellow who at one time "held
cases" on the Individual in this city:
Editor Moore of the Denhoff Voice
has the following about the arrest of
Editor Harris of Underwood on a
bastardy charge: Fred Lothario Har-
ris, the versatile editor, who made
western Mclean county famous in
song and story, has looked on the
stocking when it was red and is
therefore languishing in the Wash
burn bastile. The sweet passionate
romance which ended in Fred's down
fall is most too torrid for ordinary
individuals to read at this time o the
year.
Fred struck Mclean county a few
years ago armed with five newspapers
and prepared to hand out hell in
hand-baskets to the ignorant inhab-
itants. AS a reformer he had an ace
high rep. Preachers quoted him in
pulpits, indulgent parents held him
as a model for their boys, but despite
all this Fred loved to bite more necks
than one, and firmly believed that a
change of pasture makes fat calves,
the latter axiom he has ably demon
strated.
While in Washburn trying to cor
ner the newspaper business Of the
northwest and become dictator of Nc
Lean county republicans, Fred had a
number of male and female employees,
among whom there was just as sweet
little miss as ever led a man to bliss
-bewitching eyes, voluptuous form,
red, ripe, luscious lips-rivaling cen
Circe's fable charms had she. All
this, coupled with juxtapOsitiOn,
caused Fred to sweat down his paper
collar, feel funny feels, and forget the
texts he learned at mission school.
And sweet was the path they trOd
adown the primrose path dalilance.
And delightful indeed were the stolen
moments of bliss snatched while the
devil was feeding the Office cat and
the printers were out after fresh can
of beer. And deep did Fred delye in
her seductive smile, closely was he
wrapt in Plato's grand delusion.
Time passed. Reverses came and
Fred moved to Underwood, and in the
excitement of editing the Miner-Lea-
der, ne forgot his dream Of love, until
one day the irate brother of the delud-
ed damsel appeared on the scene with
blood in his eyes and guns in his
garments. The brother threatened to
let Fred's superabundant spirits leak
out through his salmon-colOred skin
if proper reparation was not made and
made in rush. Three hundred was
the figure agreed upon, Fred paying
90 cases down to bind the bargain.
However, so the story goes, the
errant editor began to dispose of his
worldly goods, and the brother, as a
gentle reminder of obligations unful-
filled, had Sheriff Gradin drive over to
the sandy shores of Turtle Lake and
gather Fred into the fold. This move
served the double purpose Of cooling
Fred's hot, passionate blood and pre-
vent him from foolishly sguandering
his surplus sous on Canadian
hOmeseeker's excursion ticket.

UNCLE TOM STILL POPULAR
Large Audience Witnesses Produc-
tion by the Terry Company.

An audience which filled the capa-
cious tent to overtlowing yesterday wit
messed the production OF the old time
fayorite. Uncle Toms Cabin, by the
Terry Uncle TOMS Cabin company
on the Corn Palace lot, Sixth and
Pierce streets. The crowds were well
pleased with the performance which,
like all other productions OF this
favorite melodrama, was replete with
the sensational details which pleased
grandfathers and grandmOthers as
we'll as all the succeeding generations.
OF all the old time companies, the
Terry aggregation remains firm. Its
delineatiOn of the antebellum days
when the slavery question was so vital
and which made Harriet Beecher
Stoves novel SO great a force, brought
the same hearty applause which was
received twenty odd years ago. The
cast of the company contains some
players of more than ordinary ability,
add its rendition of the piece was we'll
received. Little Eva and Uncle Tom
shared the honors in making a hit
with the audience, while the baying
bloodhounds terrorized its juvenile
members.
The parade at noon attracted no
small amount of attention. To music
furnished by two bands, the perform
ers, including pack of fierce look
ing Cuban bloodhounds, paraded the
streets. This company carries large
herd of pretty Shetland ponies. -
