STEALING GEESE,
CHICKEN AND DUCKS

d. M. Huntington, the gunsmith,
who resides at the eddy" up river
in this city, recently lost five wild
geese, several chickens and two
ducks from his barnyard. They were
all killed and taken away one might.
Recently the HageIneister Brewing
Coz storehouse near the Green Bay
& Western railroad tricks in this
city was broken into and ten cases
OF beer stolen. About the same time
box of sausage and a wheel of
Bay & Western freight room. Many
other small thefts Of chickens have
been reported. Thus far no arrests
have been made, but certain parties
are under suspicion and may be ar
rested for some, if not all of these
offenses. Such offenses are very pro
voking even tho the cash value may
be small and when parties or persons
persist in doing such things it is
not surprising that owners of stolen
property become desperate and feel
like shooting the offenders as we
have one case now awaiting trial fro1
Babcock. 1t is high time that our
officers trace up the PERSONS guilty
of this petty stealing and bring them
to justice and suitable punishment
be meted out to those who are prov
en- guilty Of the crime. We hope an
example will be made Of those guilty
ere long

ACCIDENTALLY
SHOOTS HIMSELF

Deloss Schmit, young man about
Is years of age, of PittsvilIe, this

In the woods near that village at
II O'Clock accidentally dropped his
gun with the stock downward, it
striking log, discharging itself, and
the fine shot passing through the
fleshy part Of the left arm, thence in,
to his right arm and hand, some shot
passing thru the left ear. His wounds
were dressed and cared for by Dr.
Edward Hougen of PittsviIIe, who re
ports his condition as not necessarily
serious. He may lose the full use
Of his left arm, though, the doctor
hopes that he will come out all
right. The boy was out hunting part

sacrificed to give place to more ex-
psnsive trees planted in rows about
the grounds. Then, too, were this spot
owned by individuals, or by corpora
tons in London, I fear it wound be
found enclosed with high iron-grat-
ed fence, or by stone wall with
broken bits of glass set in cement a.
long the top to keep out the Com
mon herd.
This little park is beautiful as a
work of art because the designers
have preserved the natural simplicity
of the spot, touching and retouching
only where natures work, already so
splendidly done, may be heightened
and made permanent. Those outcrop
| pings of granite could never have
been duplicated in art. In France.
granite was brought in by one of the
Bourbon kings anu an attempt was
made to build a miniature outcrop-
ping for his rustic retreat, but the
attempt was failure from an artistic
stand point. The very purpose of the
granite ledge,-to give one the feel
Ing of strength as he looks at it, is
wholly lost in the poor imitation.
The little hills and valleys in the
park; the groves; the mirrored water
surface on the west, and the larger
| flood of the Wisconsin River on the
east; the trickling water near the
| bridge are all touches of nature,
seldom seen in such variety in so
small space, and that right near
| the business district of the city.
Then, too, the building there is
designed for the very spot it occup-
les, while the graceful curves OF the
sides and the arches of the solidly
built little stone bridge fulfill Rusl1-
ms beauty combined with strength,
the highest type of architectural
design.
| Personally, l am glad that l live
in a country and in a cNy where a
few people will generously and from
their own funds make available such
a resting place, and I am sure that
l am only voicing the sentiment of
Grand Rapids when 1 say that the lit
tie island with its big rolling river on
one side, and it's pretty little lake
on the other is fully appreciated.
