Great Slaughter OF Ducks.

Every duck hunter who went out to
the lakes Sunday came home with as
many ducks as he could safely carry
under the law. The slaughter was one
Of the greatest known in the history OF
the state, as the weather was ideal for
hunting and the game was plentiful
in all parts. One inquisitive hunter,
who had his own bag well filled,
counted owe 500 ducks at the station
at Barr, when the crowd was waiting
Tor the train. This did not include the
kill made by the members Of the Hot
Fir CluD, who came in by a later train,
or OF those secured by the men who
shot Upper Barr lake. The latter
usually go to their blinds in automo,
biles, returning the same way. A safe
estimate of the number killed about
the Barr lakes is therefore about LOO.
AS this is only one of the many places
to which the Denver hunters went,
some idea may be secured of the num-

July the scene of an immense fell OF
snow and rock owing to the bursting

unlike the terrible Simplon avalanche
of 1901, this fall, happily, did not cost
any human life, though a party OF
peasants saw their cattle dashed to
death. and were only just able TO save
themselves in time. The cause of this
fall was the formation Of a huge lake

!. Justice Wright OF the United

that tie law under which their

For years it has been the pract-
ice OF the officials in charge of the
soldiers homes throughout the
country to transfer to the govern
ment insane asylum all old soldiers
whose minds arc unbalanced, with
out having their mental condition

This rather startling develop

the attorner OF Alexander Nj.

soldiers home in Michigan. There
ia some doubt as to whether Willis
is insane, as a jury has never de-
