General Sir Montague Gerard Of the
British army in his book Of reminis-
cences has much to say about hunting.
During his twenty years residence In
India he killed nearly 200 tigers. some
Of them dreaded man eaters. while his
bags Of other wild animals would be
difficult to number. Terrible as Is the
tiger. the wild BOAR is even more sav-
age and dangerous to attack. His
tusks frequently grow to nine or ten
inches In length and are as sharp as a
razor. Tigers have a special dread of
him. and in their encounters, which
sometimes happen. he nearly always
comes out victor. In pig sticking.

AN OLD CURIOSITY.
Ancient Letter Concerning Original
Selection for County Farm Site
Come. "a inhf

An old document that will be of
especial interest to old settlers. and
is brought to mind just at this time
by the recent change made in the SUI
perintendency at the county farm, has
come to light. 1t is the property of
Mrs. Will Lybarger, of Taylor town
ship, and has to do with the original
selection of land on which to locate the
county farm. The missive Is thirty
five years old, and was written by Sam
uel Y. Mote. of LeGrand to the late
Samuel Beeson. of Liscomb. Both were
members of the board of supervisors at
the time. The letter is as follows:
"LeGrand, Iowa. March Is, 1865
Samuel Beeson; Friend: have about
come to the conclusion to advertise n
one or both of the county papers for
the kind OF land we want for county
