that it had made the fish drunk that over

He stated that McClung McAfec dived
from the mill dan into the water and came
up with a six pound jumper. Bob Edger
quit work to see the sight. He noticed a
large catfish that seemed TO be tight and
he stepped over on something that he thought
was a stump in the water to catch the cat.
It proved to be a 200 pound turtle full of
booze. and it moved of into deep water wit h
him. As he can't swim Hugh yanarsdall and
others rescued him with difficulty.

ONLY EIGHTY-TWO WIDOWS,
But They Form One-Tcnth OF the Popula.
ton OF Monroe, Ia.

eo'"
Ask the old baggage master at the little
village of Monroe. Ia, for what the town is
remarkable and he will tell you:
Nothing as l know Of, unless it's Wild
ders."
The answer is potent, as Monro, is not
only remarkable for widows, but the most
remarkable town for them in the world.
There are $50 people in Monroe, says the
Chicago Tribune, and 80 of them are wild
ows. II the tax collector had not h d to
transfer three to another column for get
ting married again, and to take off three for
death or moving away since last year. and il
he had not also to admit reluctantly that
three more are widows by divorce" ne
could just as well give you oil as 50.
In this connection Monroe is unique in
the fact that it's women remain widows.
You will say that they never had a chance
to remarry, but there is another thing about
the Monroe widows:
They have outstripped the eligible women
Of all other towns in the United States in re-
0iving proposals.
Last year this town was pointed out
In a nearby paper as one of the remarkable
discoveries Of the census. Not only were
the widows listed as widows, but those who
paid taxes on property were pointed out.
Inc buDJeCl OF looks dlSO was ODlElnRlV
dealt with. Exchanges copied, and the re-
suit was a shower Of letters with proposals
from all over the State, and from other
States, in numbers that taxed the local
postmaster.
These set Monroe in the most awful fut-
ter that has ever been known in its history
and left no one Of whom it could be said that
she hadn't remarked because she hadn't
had a chance. Some OF the young and
pretty ones got az many as thirty proposals
while the eldest widow, who is ~, got her
share as well a. the rest.
The deep disgrace Of that eTi-ode will
never quite fade from the minds Of the
widows of Monroe. That these letters
have been hidden or burned and that the
day On which the article was written was
considered al evil day, the scars of which
these gentle souls will never get over, Is
part Of the strangeness of the people and
their ways, that makes Monroe the uniQus
town that 1t Is.
One Of the p~rettiest Of the young widows,
when asked IL she did not ger her share of
the letters, answered, with flashing eye and
flaming cheeks;
Il did not get any and would put them
In the fire il 1 had"
Others say that sh, got any number
and tha putting them in the fire WIS eX-
aotly what she did, She has a pretty. dark,
waving p~ompadour, with auburn lights in
1t. Ia sli ght and graceful, and is not alto
gether a fair sample Of the spirit of the
town, because her husband has been dead
only a year.

From The 81. Adams Messenger.
g.. c. Risdon, game warden OF Dandy
and Mount Tabor, was out one day recently
taking n hunt through the woods when he
saw a man fshing for trout who acted in
a suspicious manner. The man was very
careful TO keep the contents Of the fish has.
ket concealed from view. and the warden was
determined to see what II contained.
He undertook to raise the lid, which brought
on a struggle between the two, during which
the fisherman got the basket and threw it
away. He then ran away himself. Risdon
secured the basket and upon investigation
found in 1t 1903 short trout, which renders
the man liable to a fine of 81. $3.50 il he is ap-

Catfish Makes Hard Fight,

yesterday which resulted In a victory for
the fish. The men were fishing on the bank
OF White River when Bailey saw n disturbance
In some shallow water, and on looking closer
he found a catfish which he says weighed
about twenty pounds.
He thought the best thing TO do was to
capture the nsh right there and then, so
he went after II. Tho big hsh took n run
ming shoot at him and grabbed his right
hand. biting the fingers and decorating them
severely. Bailey continued TO fight the fish
until his hand panied him so severely he
could not stand it longer. so he gave up the
fight and came to this city. where his hand
was dressed by a local physician.
