The heavy storm last week did
a vast amount of damage to
property in the western states
and in western Washington and
Oregon the damage will exceed
a million of dollars. The west
did not suffer alone, however, as
the storm passed on east and
that country is now enduring its
ravages. In some of the south
ern states the rivers are out of
their banks and the country is
flooded for miles, while scores of
poor families are left homeless.
This has been a bad year for
disasters and one seems hardly
over before another occurs.

as any statue could possibly have been.
Then | carefully drew out my pocket

moon had not yet risen, but started
over the mountain on trail which

could hear nothing but the sound Of
my own footsteps, and then something
hurriedly crossed my path and scrambled
away among the leaves.
A faint but peculiar odor told me that
the creature was porcupine, and a mo-

deep grunt made me pause. and looking
cautiously saw the flower heads waV-
ing. as some creature passed among
them. BY the grunt knew that it was
a wild boar, and presently his back ap-
peareG above the tops of the flowers.
He was busy roofing up the ground with
his snout. and very soon it was evident
that he was rot alone. for several other
backs appeared in different places and
the grunting became general. The nor
NAL color of wild bOaTs is very dark
gray. but in most tights they appear
black. and among the moonlit flowers
these fellows were inky. There was
practically no wind, and what there was
was in my favor. so there was little
danger of my presence being detected
If | made no noise l took out my field
glass. and with 1t could see the nearest
boar turning over the earth and pushing
the sods about with his snout Now and
then he would find what he was looking
for. probably a root of some kind, and
then he would stop to MUNICH 1t, the
sound he made being plain to hear. His
search for food happened to bring him
quite close to where I stood, and had
a clear view of him. He was monster,
and once, when he stopped to MUNICH
root, saw his head and felt glad that
/ stood close TO a tree.
1t was few minutes after daybreak
that heard, the crack of rifle, and maxi
ing my way in the direction of the
sound, I found a guide in the act of
dressing his kill. 1t was young albino
wild boar, with few black patches on
his skin. He had been shot before his
time, because he was not true to color.

DENISE OF GUSTAVUS MAY
SHOCKED CITY.
End Came at s O'clock Last
EVening---Re Recent Sickness
Terminates in Stroke of
ApOplexy---One of Water
towns Prominent Citizens.

Last evening, many OF the people
of this city were shocked and paineo
to learn of the sudden passing away
of Gustavus May, one of our best
known and popular citizens, who died
at o'clock. The deceased was a
son of Christian May, one of the plo-
neer citizens O. Watertown, and was
born December %, 1853 and had been
resident of the city all of his life
and had witnessed its growth from a
mere hamlet in the woods to beauti-
full city in which he took a pardonable
pride. After reaching manhood's es-
tate he was for number of years en-
ployed in the Empire and Globe flour
ing mills in this city and for the past
seven years has been successful sale
sman for the Bay State Milling Co. of
Winona, Mimi.
The deceased had been ailing for a
couple of weeks prior to his demise,
but neither he nor his relatives or
friends regarded his condition as crit
ical or alarming and he continued to
attend to his duties as travelling sales
man until about week ago, and was
up and around his home and even yes
terday afternoon dictated letters to
his customers and entertained friends
at his home who called to make in
quiry as to the state of his health.
At about o'c'ocir in the evening he
experienced a severe attack and the
family physician Was summoned who
pronounced it stroke of apoplexy re-
sulting from Bright's disease and at
about O'Clock the transition occur
red.
Mr.. May was a genial, companiona-
BILE man, good citizen, an affection
ate husband and loving father, who
loved his home and his friends and
made life brighter by living and will
be greatly missed, not only by his
family, but host of friends here and
elsewhere. He was Mason, a
Woodman and a member of the United
Commercial Travellers and was highly
esteemed by the members of the sew
eral organizations to which he belong
ed. He is survived by a widow and
four children, Edward, Meta, Elsa
and Christian. who have the sympathy
of all in their great bereavement.
No arrangements have been made for
the funeral, notice of which will be
given later.
