sThe Blood is The Life"

through disease. The brain is also

Fairfield, Nov. 12.-Mr. George
Dietz, manager Of the Eagle Pattern
works of this city, has mysteriously
disappeared since Thursday night. 1t
is thought by many citizens Of this
city that he has met with foul play.
Mr.. Dietz left in his working clothes,
leaving behind him his jewelry and a
considerable sum Of money, and also
all his clothing. He had many pieces
Of work ready to ship out, so it could
not have been financial troubles that
caused his disappearance. Mr.. Dietz
lost his wife and children with diph-
liberia before coming to this city. The
scarcity OF men In his. plant here is
thought by some to have caused him
considerable worry, and that he lost
his mind and wandered away. If Mr.
Dietz left town ON business trip. it
is thought he either would have noti-
fed some of his employees or his land
lady. The missing man is about
80 years OF age, ard has been in
this city about three years. He came
here as a tramp, having his ears frozen
by the severe cold. He went to work
for the Louden Machinery Company in
this city as pattern maker and later
was employed by Mr.. w. H. Pence in
his machine shops until he organized
the Eagle Pattern work. He was a
fine mechanic, and had all the work
he could do for the next few months.

CATCH QUAIL WITH NET.
Unlawful Device for Catching Game
Birds Discovered Near Dubuque.
Special to Times RepubIican.

Clinton, Nov. 12.-It is learned In
this city, that hunters in the vicinity
of Dubuque are using unique but
unlawful device for catching quail, il
being trammel net, such as is used
of the Mississippi. Whole coveys OF
quail are known to have fallen victims
to it. The birds are simply lured into
It, and in their attempt to get out, are
made prisoners and held until Their
captor wrings their nec:ks.
The nets are of various lengths and
are chosen to suit the location in
which they are worked. A deep ra-
vine leading to a brook or pond
where the birds drink, is usually Sc
lected by the pot hunter. He
stretches the net across the top OF
the ravne and firmly stakes the sides
and one end of it to the ground.
The trail which the birds follow is
known to the woodmain, and in Or
der to make it worth while for them
to follow the old path, he bats it with
corn. The clipper little brown beau
ties follow merrily along, gobbHng ur
the choice morsels, until the entire
covey is well up into the end of the
trap.
At this juncture the birds are
flushed by.the game hog, who has
lain in wait for them, and, as they
raise to fly out they are effectively
caught in the pockets of the net and
held until they are knocked down
with a stick and their little carcasses
dumped into a sack.
Thus far this season, two of the
quail exterminating objects have been
located and destroyed, but the owners
of them have escaped arrest. The
nets are always found in deep gulches
leading to ponds or sloughs and in
variably close around the Mississippi
indicating that outlaw fishermen
take a chance on the quail without
the trouble Of hunting them legiti-
mately.

house north of Penn College. The driv-
err for the fire department was at first
unable to find hydrant and even az

could get any water and then the force
was scarcely strong enough to throw
water to the second story.

and it is expected several changes will
result.
