The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1910-03-21

In the Bridgeport Herald of Sunday, March Doth, there appears article, in re, Annie Abbott with the caption and headlines reading thus=-"ANNIE ABBOTT BOBS UP AGAIN" FORMER WATERBURIAN GOES WITH REER.''
 Under the above headlines there appears an article which is misleading, false, libel1ous and malicious, in SO far as it has reference Miss Annie Abbott who appears the headline traction at Polis Theater this week.
 The public is warned that the Miss Annie Abbott who appears at Polls this week is not the woman the newspaper article in the Herald would make it's readers believe she is, the Miss Annie Abbott who appears at Polls this week is not native of Waterbury, has never been in Waterbury, is many years younger than the per- son alluded to and is the same in only
 It is re9rettab1e that incident of this kind should have occurred just at this time and on the other hand it is fortunate that undertaking newspapers are amenable to the libel law.
 Miss Abbott, the real one, assures her hosts of friends and the public in general, that traction of the most emphatic kind will be made by the newspaper in question either in the pub- lie press in the courts.

A LONG WASH DAY.
II Lasted a Week, but Came Only -Four
TimeS a Year.

Every one has heard of the German
and Dutch method of accommodating
soiled clothes and of having a wash
day only two or three times a year.
Not every one realizes. perhaps that
the custom was brought over to this
country from Holland and that the
Dutch settlers long continued its pric-
tice. In these days Of the ever ready
laundry it is strange To read Of the
latorious period which came TO u
New Amsterdam ancestors four times
a year Helen Evertson Smith tells
about it in Colonial Days and Ways"
The custom of quarterly clothes
waShings was maintained notwith-
standing our summer heats and the
immense quantities of clothes neces-
sary to keep up the state of cleanli.
ness required by Dutch instincts. \
New Englander who had married a
citizen of New York writes in l760
ly strange to her:
Grandmother Blum is so deep in
her quarterly wash this week that she
has time only to SEND her love"
The washing was done in an out
house called the bleeckeryen. where
the water was boiled in immense ket-
ties and all the other processes of the
laundry work carried on. The work
required not less than a week. fire.
quently two weeks.
During the time preceding this cruel,
ly hard labor the soiled clothes were
accommodating in very large hampers of
open basketwork. This custom origi.
mated the necessity for the great stores
of linen with which every bride was
provided.

On the Cridiron

On last Saturday morning. the high
school foot ball team accompanied by
Supt. King and wife and four teachers
drove across country to Nez Perez to
meet the high school contingency of
that place in a gridiron contest.
The day was ideal for the cross
country drive and everyone arrived in
good spirits, but BY the time the game
was called the wind had raised so as
to bother somewhat in passing the
ball. The new rules were tried out
and on the whole were very satisfac-
tory, but the work Of the officials has
nearly doubled.
The game started at $3.50 with
Grangeville receiving at the south
goal. A forward pass was tried which
Melted about 5 yds., her an end run
for Is yds. Two tackle plunges netted
about 8 yards, but the boys were ner-
vous, it being the first game for many
Of them and on the third down with
only n yard to go they tumbled,
giving NSZ cICc udlj. NcL cICc
back field weighed nearly 100 lbs. and
by mere brute force they forged around
Grangeville's ends for a touchdown.
This seemed to put a damper on our
boys and together with the facts Of
their being new to the game and 10
pounds to the man lighter than their
opponents the score was % to nothing
at the end of the first half. In the
second half the boys went back with a
new determination and some advise
from the coach as to breaking up the
end runs of Nez Perez and the result
was that their goal was crossed once
in the second half.
With the experience gained in this
game and in the coming one with Cot
tonwood next Friday, the boys hope
to take Nez Perez into camp here on
Oct. 10 as completely as they were
coralled last Saturday. The boys re-
ceived courteous treatment at the
hands of Nez Perez and have only
commentator for their hosts.

Many Fish Destroyed

George Englehorn and Gene Smith
are in from the Weitus and report
that the fires have destroyed several
of their trap lines and in all probable
ity they will have to seek new terri
tory. Mr.. Englehorn says that the
forest fires have destroyed all the fish
in the Weitus river and that carloads
of them can be seen along the shores,
a great many being speckled trout
weighing from a pound to four pounds
each. Mr.. E~nglehorn says that he
tas tried to catch fish in a number of
places along the stream since the fire
and he failed to see a sign of one. The
Weitus river was considered one of
the finest fishing streams for trout and
salmon in the northwest and the
sportsmen feel that some effort should
be made to restock the stream as soon
as possible. No one seems to know
the exact cause as it would seem i'm
possible that there would be sufficient
heat from the fires on the banks OF
the river t. kill every fish in the
stream. They also say that it is a
common thing to see all kinds OF
game with the hair and feathers sing
ed from the body and a number of car.
cases Of deer and birds are to be
found in the field where the forest fire
had passed over.-Pierce Miner.

Death Of ShiSSler

Fred Shissler, who was accidentally
shot by his friend, Tom Hopwood, at
Elk City Monday of last week, passed
away early Monday morning, death
being caused by blood poisoning.
Shissler, Hopwood and a number of
friends were preparing for an outing
trip on the date of the accident. A
package dropped from a pack on one
of the horses and as Shissler reached
for it Hopwood fired a shot intending
to break the receptacle.
The bullet, a forty-four, entered the
left hip Of Shissler who fell to the
ground declaring he was shot.
Those present thought he was only
joking and told him 70 get up but
were finally convinced that Shissler
had been wounded.
Upon advise Of the local doctor he
was brought out to Grangeville but
every effort to locate the ball proved
futile and Sunday an operation was
decided upon. Monday morning the
operation was performed and the bull
let located in the back but as blood
poisoning had set in the case was hope
less and shortly after three Monday
morning Shissler passed away.
Fred Shissler was born in Warren,
1861, making him at the time of his
death 43 years of age. Shissler was
a man of many friends and is known
for his BIG heartedness. He is sur.
vived by a mother, two sisters and
several brothers.
The funeral was held Tuesday after
noon from the Bailor Undertaking
Parlors and interment was made il
