Tough Eating.

Those who have partaken OF peacock
declare that gorgeous bird to be decid-
edly tough eating. while it Is said Of
the swan that the fact of its ever hav-
ing been a familiar dish speaks highly
in favor of ancient English cutlery.
Moreover. it should not be forgotten
that when bustards' and boars' heads
We're rs common as sirloins and sad
dies now are there were scarcely any
vegetables to eat with them

Special to The Journal
Webster City, Iowa, Sept IA fusillade of
shots, an iron tent stake in the hands of an
irate engineer swung about with such vigor
that one man was laid out with blow on the
head and another Oh the arm, a yelling, howl
Ing mob In running fight and final melee
marked the leaving of the Parker amusement
train from this city for, Boone yesterday But
TOR tho. shyewdness and diplomacy Of General
Manager Harry, r. Raver the whole train might
have been held on an attachment by the Riggs
Wild West show. which has been travelling as
a part Of the Parker attractions. Captain
Raver denied; Riggs alleges that Trainmaster
Donovan tried to make of with a part of the
Wild West paraphernalia. 1t was this latter
allegation that started ,alhithe row.
Donovan had the Wild West tent loaded upon
a wagon to haul to the train, when the COWBOYS
swooped down upon him and rescued it. Not.
however, until after a shower Of shots had been
fired and Engineer Hftz, who runs the Parker
electric plant, had picked up an iron tent stake
and laid out two Of the cowboys. Finally the
Parker train departed minus the Wild West
show, which is still in Webster City. -
The Riggs Rough Rider show has been with
the Parker company for nine weeks travelling
under $500 week guarantee. Riggs went
demand alleged shortage in his share of
the receipts, said to be $146 Raver denied
that he owed it. He? had, a countercIam of
$145 for repairs on gaslights and salary of
to pay. The could not agree and finally
Riggs declared he would cut his show loose
from the rest, Of the company.
This he did, but George Donovan. who was
overseeing the loading Of the carnival compa-
ny's paraphernaia. loaded UP the Wild West
show tent and started away with 1t. This
caused the fight. The police intertered and
four of the carnival employees We're arrested
All were fined heavily In the police court Sun
day. ,''''+,-
Riggs intended swearing out a warrant charr.
ing Donovan with grand larceny. While the
prelimnaries were in progress. however, Gen.
eral Manager Raver called County Attorney
Blake to one side for private consultation
and while this going on Donovan boarded
the carnival train and started it, leaving Raver
to join the company today.
OF course Donovan could not then be ar.
rested, and as this county does not care to
incur costs of going after him, and as the
Wild West men cannot tstay here to appear at
his trial, Raver rather had the best Of things
by getting his train QUIT Of the city just as be
did. g.. 80 -

Window and Makes a Dish for Epi-

Special to The Journal,


krazee, Mimi. Sept. 4.-Charles olefka Of
Heightof-Land township was chased around his
farmhouse by huge black bear. Fortunately
he had left the door Of his house partly opened,
and, tho 1t was in the middle of the night, he
just dashed thru the door as the angered bear
began to push and scratch upon it.
Mr.. Olefka heard something scratching at the
side OF the house, and, thinking the cattle were
loose, went downstairs attired just as he had
been sleeping, and into the yard. No sooner
was he in the dark than he saw the big. dark
object moving towards him.
Mr.. Olefka held the door closed with some
difficulty. as the bear endeavored to get inside
tie house. Then bruin moved to the window,
and Mr.. Olefka shot it. The bear rushed off and
Olefka chased him with some dogs. He came
up to him in the woods and again shot him,
this time fatally. " '-"
The bear brought to Frazee yesterday and
weighed $50 pounds. and was almost black. The
meat was quickly purchased by citizens.
Mr.. Olefka says that fires have been raging
fercely in the woods northwest of Frazee. and
they have driven the wild beasts from their Sc
clusion to the lands which cultivated. In
consequence Of the fire 1t Is expected that wild
game will be plentiful In the northwestern. part
Of Becker county this year. Bear, deer, moose
and wolves are the chief animals in the ter
