Last Thursday a formidable (D
landslide occurred at the knoll Just
west of the old mill site. 1t
wouldn't perhaps have been so
onsidered if a team and spring
wagon had not rolled over down
the bank of the river In trying to
get past it. 1t took a crowd of
men from town to get the wagon
up on to the road again. The
driver was Tim Shoup, who had a
travelling man and his outfit from
Gettysburg.
jeff Sage, Scotty Urquhart, Roy
Gates and Will Oliver were kept
busy SHINING dead cattle that
came down the river with the ice
last Thursday. The former got
two and the latter four hides. and
others went down that they didn't
have time to catch. Two row.
boats also went down but the ice
was too heavy for anyone to get to
them. Over a dozen timbers from
the Evarts bridge piling have also
been caught by various parties.

the country south of town last Sat-
urday for a goose hunt, with ev-

the credit for getting the biggest
mallards. +. j. stole a march on
Victor and shot twice at the pair,
but failed to bring them down.
Victor was on hand in a twinkling

the birds to ground.
