The Moist Tale of Two Typographical
Nimrods Of Lincoln.

this week Hall was armed with
Springfield musket of the vintage of
1876. and Bostrom had an old
Sharp's rifle reamed out to shotgun
gauge. They rented boat and start
taking turns at rowing and watching
for ducks. While it was Bostrom's
turn to row Hall cited duck half
mile or so away. Raising his trusty
musket to his shoulder, Hall took
aim with his eyes shut and pulled the
trigger. The old musket kicked like a
bay steer and Hall quickly and quiet
ly fell over backwards into the chilly
waters of the lake. In going over he
capsized the boat and Bostrom also
fell into the drink.
The guns went to the bottom, but
the boat and the two Intrepid hunters
fioated. But they were half-mile
from shore, neither could swim, and
the water was cold. 1t was the day
that the life saving crew was off duty,
so the cries for help fell not upon hui
man ears.
Hall and Bostrom chung to the over
turned boat for an hour or two, and
finally one had to let go because he
was chilled to the bone. When he
let go with despairing moan his
feet touched bottom. Whereupon the
two typos proceeded to walk ashore,
pulling the boat behind them. In
their excitement they forgot to bring
their guns along.
The duck escaped.
