HAWKS KILL THE ouAm.

John w Newhouse, deputy game warden, who is making New Albany his headquarters at present while en- forcing the game law in the southern Indiana counties, says that the hawks are more responsible for the destruc- ton of quail in Indiana than the hun ters. E. E. EEarl, deputy state game commissioner, with headquarters at Indianapolis, is of the same opinion, and he will recommend that the next legislature enact law providing for a bounty of fifty cents for each hawk killed. sportsmen in all parts of the state, but especially in southern Indi- ana, where game is more plentiful, are in favor of the law, and it is probable some steps will be taken as soon as the legislature convenes.
 Farmers assert that the large chicken hawks are not as destructive as the smaller 'blue tailed'' hawk. The chicken hawk is slower of movement and quail can sometimes escape from them, while the blue tailed, swifter of wing, rarely fails to carry off its prey. If the bounty is put upon these preda- tory birds the country boys, who are all expert marksmen, will in a short

How a Noted Counterfeiter Attempted
 Escape from Jail.

How a Noted Counterfeiter Attempted
 Escape from Jail.
 One of the most remarkable stories of an attempted escape from jail was brought to Memphis yesterday by John M. Card, of the Government Secret Service, who also had with him a pho- tograph showing the work of the pris- oner and his instrument.
 T went out of my way to get this picture" said MT. Card, because knew nobody would believe my story unless I had it, have sent a copy of the photo and description of this fel- lows work to all the big detective agencies and several periodicals devo- ted to the interests of the police and the punishment of offenders, It will be as great a revelation to them as it was to me.
 This attempted escape, which came near being successful, was the work of James alias LickY, Savage. I think originally his alias might have been Lucky, for until he was caught this time he always managed to get turned loose. For six years he had been known as an accomplished counterfeit CT, but conviction seemed impossible until he was caught in Wichita, Kan, 1 with the goods on him. That time his plates and moulds were captured. and when he was placed behind the bars for eight years his gang scattered, and l has not troubled us since.
 But even after he had been sen fenced he caused us a lot of worry He had friends on the outside, who fur nished him with the best attorneys money could hire. Guards were brited, or at least 1t was suspected they were when weapons, saws and a well filed poeketbook were found in his maS.ress.
 After that he jumped from the train while on his way to Fort Leavenworth and nearly got away, but the marshal who was with him was just as game as he was, and jumped after him. He held to his man after that until the doors of the great federal prison closed on him.
 "Lieky hadn't been there long before the warden began to notice he was un- like any of the other prisoners. He as- sociated with no enc and made no

the birds are flying. A single live de- coy staked out on the sandbar befJre your stand, cord around it's foot and attached to a stake driven securely in the sand will draw a flock of geese when forty wooden decoys would not receive the slightest notice.
 Occasionally a sportsman will wing a goose and capture it without shoot ing a second time Such bird should be prized highly, for it seems that a wounded bird takes malicious pleasure in calling others of it's kind down to a similar fate and it will utter notes which no sportsman can initiate and which will bring a flock of geese full speed right under his gun. Dead birds are almost equally good except that they do not attract attention as read fly. as the live ones move about and call, but few dead birds scuatting about on the sand in natural positions there is every reason to expect good shooting.
 My hoLes were not groundless, for the shooting so auspiciously begun, was excellent. and until noon we re- mained in our pits and shot to -ur hearts content at these magnificent game birds. Besides the geese several flocks of sandhill cranes passed over and occasionally we secured shots at scurrying hocks of ducks which eros sed the big sandbar in cutting" the bend the river made at this oolnt.
 At best, goose shooting is not such fast sport as shooting ducks from blind, and often the hunter must exer- else a considerable degree of patience, for when one flock disappears over the distant treetops or fades out of sight in the blue ether of the sky because of the distance it has traversed. it may be an hour or even two before a faint honking notifies the gunner of the aLt proach of another flock. This may not come within range, but circle your position tantalizingly near-just close enough to make you think you are go- ing to get shot, and then strike out for a distant spot upon the horizon or beyond.
 II t1h VI lWSLN6 IdT SuUlS are Se- cured in the course of a morning or afternoon the sportsman is lucky and should count good, heavy bag when the sport Is over Many of the shots secured in this class of shooting are entirely out Of range. for dis tances are most deceptive under such circumstances. the great width of the river and sandbar lending themselves readily to the deceit. The white sIot under the throat of a Canada looks scarcely thirty yards away over the clear area of sand and water, when, in fact, it is three or four times that distance. and many shells are wasted because If this,
 It is safe to figure under such cir cumstances that the bird is twice as far from you a sit really seebs, just as a body uf water is generally twice as far across it S it appers of arst in- sDection.
 A goose is a good big bird, and a liae of fifty or more of them seems 10 offer a target that no one could miss with a shotgun. but it must be re- membered that flock of geese are ca pablo of developing a speed of fifty or sixty miles an hour with wind condit- ions to their liking and a freGuent

 A careful study of the wounds of a considerable numebr of dead geese will demonstrate that most of them are killed by shot thattake effect in the head or neck. Of the remaining ones, most were finged birds, brought down by a single shot which breaks a bone. They generally have to be shot again unless they fall out on the bar and can be caught before they can make their way to the water. Very few birds are killed by body shots, the heav: coat of featers serving as an excellent protection and turning away most of the shot that strike upon the breast and stomach.
 The five of us killed twenty-seven geese and five ducks. Of the geese twenty-fve were of the Canada varie- tv and two ere hite fronted ones, One of the boys had secured a shot at a san and several of us had shot at cranes. but without result,

Flight of Wild Birds and a Shot at the
 Leader of the Wedge--Wounded
 Goose as q Decoy-Descriptlve Dis-
 tances Upon the River-The Most Ef-
 fective Shots.
 Living full length in a sand rit, in the centre of a sandbar mile in length and half as great in breadth, my gun protruding through a pile of willow twigs over the breastwork raised with the excavated sand, shiyered and waited for the mellow hunk" of flock of geese, writes a correspondent of the Kansas City Star. At intervals on either side four other persons similarly situated, suffered with me in spirit and likewise waited.
 So interested had I become in watch ing the sunrise that I forgot the game which had brought me there until two shots in quick succession far down the bar rlldely aroused me. Glancing in that direction, I saw long, thin W6QR6 SIldp6u llllO lcllLC1 dlltA eAJ and break into the widest dis1rder, while a frantic squawking and honk- ing and guttural clucking floated across the distance, clear and distinct in the frosty morning air. A single dark object separated itself from the army of threshing wings and glisten- ing bodies and sLUn rapidly earthward to strike with a resounding thud upon the sand.
 Straight for my position the geese came. their leaders by sheer force of frenzy, it semed, marshalling them in- to a semblance of order. 1 had turned quickly upon my back at the first shot, my gun across my body, held for in- stant use, knees half doubled uC so that I could spring erect preparatory to shooting.
 Alarmed by the reception given them already, the geese rose a bit further from the earth and when they passed over me were fully eighty yards dis tant. I sprang up and fired both bar rels at the leaders, scarcely expecting to do exception at that range. A single shot struck big gander sduarely in the throat, penetrating the brain and almost preciLitating the heavy body of the bird upon my head. It fell so close that I could have reached out my hand and caught it. The other boys didn't get a shot, as the flock, now thoroughly alarmed, swung out over the open water of the river where there could be no hidden gunners and winged their way rapidly southward for a safer neighborhood.
 I set the dead bird upon the sand among the decoys, propLing it's head up with forked twig, and returned to my sand pit feeling sure of getting other shots, for there is no decoy which will equal a dead goose except a live one. The only difficulty with these decoys is in securing the first one: after that it is more a matter of craftsmanship than anything else if

THf WAYS OF A MOLE.

While fishing noticed very small molehill," says a writer. After a short time a quantity of earth was shoveled out, and so I quickly scraped away the loose earth and found the hole. I traced the tunnel until l noticed move- ments in the soil, and caught sight of some black fur, which immediately be- gan to disappear in a downward direc- tion. I had some difficulty to dig it out, and when l at last caught it it gave me a series of scratches with it's powerful forepaws, causing me to re- lease it, when it ran along the ground, prodding the soil as it went, in it's en- deavors to find a soft enough place to begin burrowing. I soon caught it again, and imprisoned it in my bait can. It seemed to resent being handled and uttered a peculiar hissing noise. carried it home. and placed a large box half full of earth at it's disposal The mole had a ravenous appetite When given a piece of raw meat it would place it's large forepaws on the flesh and tear off large pieces with its teeth. Tn eating worms it would place one forepaw on each end of the worm beginning to eat it from the middle.
 Its senses seemed very acute, for when a dog came near to it's box when 1t was on the top it would immediately burrow underneath at a great rate, and | when l placed it in a tin and placed my hand anywhere near it it usually came and smelt it directly, never attempting to bite. Even when handled it only tried to force away my hand with it's torepaws. When the earth in it's box was loose it burrowed at a tremendous pace, forcing back the loose earth with It's hind legs. When packed the earth tightly down it would run about the ooX poking it's long snout into the ground as it went until 1t found soft enough place, when it would immedi- ately start burrowing.
 Its eyes were very small, and it seemed only able to distinguish be- tween light and dark. It disliked sun- shine, and never cared to come up of It's own accord when the sun was out. It's front paws were possessed of tre-

friends. The foreman of the shop where the tools used for quarrying are sharp ened said he was a splendid Wolkman, and did more and better worE slmn any other prisoner in his department,
 But while Licky's actions aroused such suspicious that he was watched more carefully than anybody e!so in the penitentiary, nothing was found that would indicate he was not model prisoner until one day last week.
 Early in the morning one of the guards moving on the upper tiers looked down and saw pair os hands moving back and forth around one of the bars of cell door He ciied to 3 guard who was making his rounds tn the lower tier, and he soon causht sight of the hands himself, and founl they belonged to Licky.
 Warden Wersner was 1otiflei at once, and he himself ordered the pri'- oner from the cell. Such an ord r at such an hour means but one thing that the cell is to be eeaNue l. Thor oughly and carefully was the cell gone over, Every crevice and no'K was searched, the bed and bedding exam ined, the walls sounded for hollow stones, but all to no purpose. The man himself was searched so carefully that it was impossible for him to conceal any contraband article about hie per- son.
 While this was going on Llcky stood there smiling, Once, as one of the guards tumbled some books from d shelf and a piece of string tied to two pieces of wood fell to the floor, Licky replied, You're getting warm
 up to this time Lcky's cell door had | not been examined. Baffled in his search of the cell, the warden turned to l it, In minute he had come across Llcky's work, although 1t would have passed unnoticed if the guard had not seen Lickys hands moving back and forth,
 1.-Two of the steel bars had been sawed-one of them so nearly through that it was held only by silver ot steel at the top and bottom. Work on lliC CAliII DdI ldu ilJl M AS6SNN 7N ! far, Warden Wersner took hold of the first bar, twisted it sharply and il broke,
 Savage, you're a smart one said the warden, but you know you won't go back into this cell again, so you might as well tell me where those saws are.
 "'I had no saws, answered Licky, That's what l did it with, and he picked up a piece of braided cord with little handle of wood at either end
 Tt took long time for Licky to con vince the warden and guards that he was telling the truth; in fact, they didn't believe his story until he showed them how, with piece of tWine, he could cut steel. He made one of those saws in front of them, and in half hour had cut an eighth of an inch into steel that was supposed to be so hard that it would turn the edge of the sharpest tools.
 This was Lickys method. lie gathered pieces of string and yarn of all sorts and braided and plaitad them tightly until he had a strong cord. This he soaked repeatedly in water un- til it was hard and tough. Over thls he smearei oil and rolled it in mixture of steel filings and dust from the emery

wheels that he had secured at the tool shops
 He said that it took him twc weeks to cut the first bar by drawing Il s to and fro across the steel, but by cxreri- menting he improved his imrrovise l saw, and he had figured he could have completed the work In two more nights. With two of the bars cut he could lave squirmed through the opening and reached the corridor He declloed to say what he intended to d3 aftor tj1S {, but his silence on this mattec leads the officials to believe that he hal a lcfl- nite plan, which he has not yet anan- doned.

Bessemer steel was selected for the bars of the government prison because it was thought to be the best in the world, yet here man with some filings and a string cuts 1t like butter, you might say Now the builders of jails and penitentiaries will have to get a new material and the prisoners hunt up another unique tool.
