JUST FISH STORIES

The dead musky found last
Y eek on Meta lake has proven a
great source of enjoyment to the
guests at Tilden Bros. resort.
Saturday last there were great
doin's by the departed musky
and Paul the 14-year old son of
c. Denney, 1850 Cottage Grove
avenue, Chicago. Paul, aided
and abetted by Fred Keeling
and another Indian, conceived
the idea of making a fake musky
catch for the edifcatiop of their
selves and modification of those
of the guests who would bite.
This is how: Paul, who is a

fsh's mouth; then rowed out in
the lake in plain sight of the
guests. some twenty IN number,
and began haIlooing in pitlful
tone for his father to come and
help land musky be had hooked.
Denney, senior, spied the boy
pulling at the oars out IN the
lake, with monster fish IN tow.
He, together with the whole
crowd made for the dock. Den
ney, senior, jumped into a row
boat and started, but was
dumped fat in the boat by an
oar slipping suddenly out OF the
lock, caused bv an overdose OF
excitement. He managed to
row several rods when he sus-
picioned something of a Sena-
gambian hue but kept still. The
crowd on shore were wild and

GOOD CROPS IN COUNTY
University Professor Reports
Favorable Conditions in
Upstate Regions---Visi
Eagle River.

Prof. R. 4. Moore, of the agron.
omy department. of the Univer.
sity of Wisconsin, who visited in
Eagle River a week ago looking
over crop prospects makes the
assertion that Villas county's
crops are superior to that of
other sections.
A dispatch from Madison
dated August 18th has this to
say:
As a direct repudiation OF
the current reports regarding
the poverty of Wisconsin crops,
Professor E. A. Moore, just re-
turned from a trip through the
northern part of the state, de-
clares that there are prospects
for a fair yield, and some Of the
crops are doing unualIy well.
Professor Moore, who is at the
head of the agronomy depart
ment at the university, and who
is also the organizer of the Elk
pertinent association, is prob
ably as well acquainted with
crop conditions throughout Wis
consin as any man in the state.
Il found the northern part of
the state considerably above nay
expectations" declared the pro-
fessor. "The grain is doing
WE'LL" he continued, land the
potato crop promises to be
almost as good as usual. Win
ter wheat is averaging about
80 bushels to the acre, and
there is lots of nice clover for
seed"

nearby boat and started out to
assist young Denney, barely Civ

and excessive muscular efforts
on the aforementioned oars.

ITS SQUIRMING TACTICS.

Returning to its ineffective attempt
to escape The Tribune IS wel,maintained
position that Joseph and Hyrum Smith
were killed at Carthage. Illinois, by
and through the plotting of rcbclIious
Mormons, the Deserct News, in an cdito-
rial article appearing in lis issue of
January 20, 1910, has made another dis
play of its squirmiDo tactics.
We shall pay but brief attention to
the matter now: because the case made
ont by The Tribune was so complete
that to further notice the church or
gan S puerile naggings, to any extended
degree, would be merely to waste space.
Some time ago the News gave the
names of several men who were in
dictcd, tried and acquitted upon the
charge of having committed the mur~
dcrs. Now il brings forward the names
Of three other men who it says fred the
fatal shots, these men never before hav-
ing been mentioned in the matter at

committed the deed; then being unable
to establish their guilt by the record, it
goes outside Of history aud picks up
three unknowns, and possibly fictitious
individuals. and endeavors 10 thrust
them into tho controversy, where they
had never before appeared. In day or

cast; but it has become so imbecile in
its treatment of the matter that it is
no longer worthy Of attention. How.
ever, on Thursday evening it confessed
that "There is no doubt that the apos-

to render them capable. of taking the
lives of God s messengers That is
true, and only adds confirmation to the
evidence presented By The Tribune. And
while it denies that apostates OF excom

in their public uttcrances and writings
that they were still Mormous and that

II would produce the evidence which so

THE DANITES ADMITTED.

With reference to that DANTE story
with which the Deseret News some time
ago promised to interest the public, but
which it has not yet produced, The
Tribune is of the opinion that sufficient
time has been allowed to the church
organ and that il is simply afraid to
produce the evidence which it pretended
TO be searching for, and which it really
may have obtained.
The Tribune has copy of an af-
fidavit made by Mr.. Justus Morse,
signed and sworn to on January 8.
1910, before D. T. Keel, a notary public
in and for Pike county, Kentucky, and
which also has the signatures of wit
ness and of six attestors to the GEM
inoness of the copy. Mr.. Morse was
one of the Dante band and therefore
knows whereof he speaks. He ioiued
the Mormon church in 1888, and later
became successfully an elder, n seventy
and high priest. AS to the connec-
tion Of the Danites with the church,
