Hurlsy-Harry Loughrey, the man
assaulted here Saturday, is failing
rapidly, and cannot possibly live
more than a few hours. He is one
mass of bruises AID his side is

had been driving and drinking to-
gsther and the assault was the result
OF a row. After the attack in tho

was found on the streets of Hurley.

stayed around Hurley until he heard

too drunk to use his wits. He was
taken to Parker, where he will be

THE GAME FUND
Minnehaha Comfy Issued Over Nine
Hundred Licenses

Sioux Falls-Nine hundred and
seventeen licenses to hunt game
birds have been issued by the county
treasurer of this county, this year, and
of that total number, only two of the
applicants were non-residents, show
ing that the most of the shooting in
this part of the state has been done
this year by local sportsmen and that
the game law, which is intended to
reasonable and do not hunt for the
market, is working we'll
The abundance of game this season
is indicated by the fact that while
the number of birds whichs each hun
ter may kill in day is limited by law
to twenty, nearly every one of the
nine hundred and more persons who
have taken out license to shoot, say
that they have all the game they
wanted.
If each one OF them has slain the
limit in the nun.s:er Of birds, twenty,
the total number of ducks and csc
which have fallen before the une ring
aim OF local nimrods, since the sea-
son opened, is 1880, providing each
license holder was out for but one
day.
When the number Of birds which
are shot at and missed and the num-
Der winch are not fired upon at all, are
taken into consideration, the vast
number Of ducks and geese which pass
over this section of earth in the sea-
son Of fight, may be realized
If only half the hunters succeeded
in killing the limited number, the to-
tai of water fowl would still be al
most past comprehension.

CHILD ELOPERS

Friends Of Philadelphia Couple
Haven't Seen Them Since
|. Marriage Here

The whereabouts of John Myers, Is
years old. and his 14-year-old-brid
who, before their elopement TO Will
mington on Thursday last, was Flor
ence Stephens, is puzzling their
friends. Mrs William Hitner. of 1900
Glenwood avenue, Philadelphia, is
particularly anxious to find the cou-
pie. Myers spent the early part of
Thursday at Mrs. Hitner's home and
her son, William Hitner, Jr., came to
Wilmington with the couple, and he
has not been seen since.
Mrs. Hitner declares that jewelry
is missing from her home, and says
she was told by Gertrude Shattell,
who also accompanied the party to
Wilmington and acted as bridesmaid,
that she saw Myers and Hitner pawn
a gold watch and bracelet and several
gold pencils and sell another watch
and then buy the brides wedding gar
ments. A pair of patent leather
pumps and a pair of silk stockings
were included in the finery.
Miss Shattell says that she had no
idea that the couple intended TO get
married until they reached the home
of the Rev. George L. Wolfe. Then
they asked her to be bridesmaid. My
ers gave his age as 81 and that of
his bride as IS. Miss Shattell was
angry at the couple for getting mar
ried. and after they left the parson-
age Myers gave her 81 cents to buy
a railroad ticket to bring her home.
Mrs. Albert Willard, the mother of
the bride, said at her home at 1888
Bambrey street, that she had not seen
the girl since Thursday.
