Rtplving 70 YOUR favor NJ july l4th l
beg to say that the favorit" food of tie
gray squirrel is corn, peanuts and dry
bread IL does not eat lettuce, straw
berries, cherries or plums unless very
hard pressed for food Occasionally a
gray squirrel will make a raid on these
and eat the edge off. This occurs so
seldom that no one ever paws any atten-
ton to it. They never dig deep in the
ground except to bury a nut. l cannot
conceive of any damage which gray
squirrels might do which would justify
the people c. your city il refusing hos
pitality to them At this moment |
know of several cities that are doirg
their best TO colonize the gray squirrel
and to encourage them to live IL the
city parks. Of course You are aware
that many city parks throughout tie
United States contain gray squirrels.

BOAT COMPLETELY DISABLED
Drifts About AimlessIy All Night
While Survivors Anx-
iousIy Await Aid.

Kenosha. Wis, Oct. 21.-By the ex-
plosion of steam pipe in the engine
room OF the steam barge Maggie Mar
shall off this port. Chief Engineer
John Peterson of Manistee and three
OF his assistants were literally cooked
TO death.
The men were caught like rats in a
trap and there was no escape for
them. They were forced to stand in
their places until they were literally
cooked.
The barge was on her last trip OF
the season between Chicago and Man
istee, with a crew OF thirteen men.
Three of the crew, y. G. Thompson.
Otto Frank and Alex Forsstram, start
ed in yawl for Kenosha for assis-
lance, but capsized when over mile
from shore and were compelled to
swim to land.
The boat was completely disabled
by the explosion OF the steam pipe,
and she drifte1 aimlessly, bearing her
burden of death all through the night,
and was finally brought to anchor a
nile east of the village of Berryville,
four miles north Of Kenosha, just after
daybreak.
The story OF the bursting of the
etcam pipe and the long vigil of the
surviving men while waiting for aid is
one of the most horrible ever told of
lake disasters about this port. 1t cul-
minated In three OF the members of
the crew volunteering to swim mile
through heavy surf In order to get
the aid for which the captain and his
crew had waited in vain.
