near the home of Willis Ryan and the
load was left in the field. During Mon

bottom of the load of wood. Of course
the owner did not know where to look
for the necessary piece and after search
ing for a long time secured another one.

OCTOBER SURE
WAS DRY MONTH
Unequaled in 80 Years For
Deficiency Except
1872 and 1889.

October just passed was the dry
est, with two exceptions, in thirty.
nine years, though 1908 came within
a point of equalling it according to the
record in the weather office at Madi-
son. The mean temperature was three
degrees above normal and the number
of cloudy days was but seven, though
ten others were partly so. The month
was particularly remarkable for the
fine weather which it gave us aud for
the lateness of the coming of Jack
Frost. Not until the 28th did there
come freeze sufficient to kill vege-
tation TO anyextent though as early as
the tenth there was light frost. The
total rainfall for the month was only
.63 inches, a departure equalled only
in 1872 and 1889, in the latter year
there having been but a trace during
the entire month.

FAIRFIELD MAN
MARATHON RUNNER
Man Has Exciting Time in
Capturing Runaway
Critter.
lFrom Wednesdays Da1ly.)

Earl Thomas OF Fairfield proved
himself to be Marathon runner this
morning while in the city. He
brought COW to town in hog rack
and in weighing the animal on the
scales near the Kellogg livery stable
in some way he loosened the ropes
and the critter neatly hurdled the
barracks and with all the strength he
could put to his legs started to run.
Before Mr.. Thomas could warn some
one to take care of the team his meat
was out of sight, having gone two
blocks down Fourth street and. turn
ed north at East street. Earl tying
on his hat speeded in that direction
and with the aid of few men and
boys, who considered the affair too
much of joke to keep the pace with
him, the animal was captured be-
fore it got out of town, as it was un-
doubtedly headed for home.
On the return of the man and critter
it was hard to decide which of the
two showed most the Effects of the
sprint.
