About score Of Lintonites were
out after the wary wild.gecse last
Sunday. They didn't get any geese.
but at least one party-Dr. Smith,
August Obermeier, Frank Haas and
Dick Ziegler-had slathers of fun.
Geese being scarce, Frank thought
he'd climb a Slim cottonwood and see
whether there were any squirrels or
coons in the surrounding timber. The
tree was comparatively slender one,

description and date of his former
entry. Provided, That the provisions
OF this act shall not apply to any per

Mr.. Lee. the insane man, from the
Glencoe neighborhood. Now. it hap
pened that Mr.. Kyes and the man
during their trip TO Linton, did moi
converse much, and then only regard

that the board would be justified il

confession.
