The fact that the hunting season opened
on Tuesday and the whole force iuclud-
the dogs have the habit, part of them
y still have this habit on--will Of course
have considerable to do with the quality
and which will likely not be up to the
usual standard, but we regret more the
fact that the paper wiil not reach its
readers on time. We can not exactly
place the blame al this time but it rests
either with the freight department. OF
railroad or Minneapolis wholesale
house in getting supply of prlnt paper

The first day of September has come
and gone This Gay s looked forward
to by the hunters with much the same
feeling that Christmas brings to the
little tots. 1t would be impossible for
us to estimate how many Webster peo-
pie were out on this day and perhaps
the only way to get at the number
! would be to take an invoice of the gun
stock of the city Long before daylight
r. on this day the battle began, and as the
eastern sky began to show line of
gray the bOmbardment increased until
the featherv tribe could find no place 70
rest The chicken shooting in the vic
unity of Webster is reported TO be very
poor but the duck shooting is the best
for years. Not one man was skunked
and many came in with the limit. We
could not help but wonder why the
assessors do not call about the last days
of August or the first Of September to
list the taxable dogs OF any community
There is not dog which has the appear
ance OF being a hunter but what has at
least one master and dogs around our
city Tuesday were all poodles or terriers
La collision at Rockford, Iowa, on
Aug. %, George Kading, brother of w
F., of this city, was killed A part of
the story as told by the Rockford Morn
ing Star Is as follows: "Ihe collision
was between an extra freight train con
sisting of twelve cars and caboose and "a
switching train from the local yards,
this comprising three cars. The switch
ing crew had been TO the plant of the
Pennsylvania Oil company where some
cars We're to be secured Just as the
engine was preparing TO pull into the
siding the engine OF the freight was
seen nosing around the curve just a
short distance berond The freight
was being wheeled along at rapid
rate and though the emergency was
applied the engine could not be stopped
before it met the switching engine.
The two engines came together with
such force that the lighter one, that of
the switching train, was pushed back
almost rod The freight engine,
though under all brakes was pushed
ahead by the momentum OF the train
and met the switch engine second
time and pushed the latter back almost
one hundred feet when the two keeied
over and fell down an embankment on
the left side of the track coming toward
the city, resting almost upside down,
and the smoke staaRs embedded in the
soft soil AS soon as the engineers on
the two iron horses noticed collision
Was inevitable the brakes were set enGs
move made to escape from the coilfs-
ion. Kading jumped TO che east. -
went down very close TO the engines
and was badly scalded by the escaping
steam He was burned from head to
foot and only few places on his body
escaped the steani. 90 arriving at the
hospital he was cared for by DIR Rich
