A consignment of ifty-seven game
birds from the Scandinavian peninsula
have been received by the Cleveland
Cliffs Iron company direct from Copen-

island, Lake Superior The birds, which
by scientists are styled capercailzie,
are known in N orway and Sweden as
storfugl (large birds), name entirely
appropriate in view of the size of the
fowls in which respect they are only
exceeded in Europe by the wild swan
and the great bustard. The male bird
weighs from seven to eleven pounds,
and the female about half as much.
They are natives of Europe and are

ROBERT WALKER CONVICTED
Murderer Of Daughters Lover Must
Serve Penitentiary Term.

BARRON, WIS.-The jury in the
case Of Robert Walker, charged with
killing Oscar Burns, last night returned
verdict Of murder in the second de-
gree and fixed the punishment at from
ten to fourteen years in prison.
Walker took the stand and told his
own story in feeble voice, slowly but
impressive in manner. He told of his
daughters going to church with the
neighbors, of her failure to return, of
his search for her, assisted by the
neighbors and city marshal, and of her
return between and 5 in the morn
ing. He said she stated that she had
spent the night on the river bank with
Oscar Burns. He soon after went down
town and bought the revolver, he said,
for the purpose of compelling Burns to
go to his house and to explain the mat
ter satisfactorily or to marry the girl.
He told how he found Burns and
charged him with the ruin of his
daughter and compelled him to 60 home
with him. On their arrival at the
Walker home, he asserted, the daugh-
ter was called, and as she came into the
room he saw the awful look on her
face and remembered but little after
that.
He said he had confused recollec-
ton Of a struggle, and perhaps of some
shots, but nothing was clear, and that
he had no intention Of killing or of
shooting Burns.
District Attorney Soderberg argued
the case for the state and Frank Nye
of Minneapolis made touching plea
for the defense.
