hunting guide, was awarded $4,000
damages by a jury in Judge L. w.

while approaching to meet Halcomb,
the latter fired. The bullet entered
his leg, necessitating an operation
which, Harper declared, has made him

BADGER Crops Doing Well.


Crop conditions are favorable in
this state outside of the north and
east central parts, where everything
is affected by the continuing drought -
said Prof r. A. Moore of the univer-
sity agronomy department.
unless we get rain soon," he con-
tinued corn will be seriously dam
aged. At present corn is little back
ward, but has been pushing rapidly to
the front during this prevailing warm
weather and promises an average
crop
1--WE have a good alfalfa crop before
us this year, as good as could be ex-
pected. Glover, which is being cut at
the present time, is a little below
grade, and Of course is not even half
a crop in the drought-affected dis
tricts. The old meadows are bearing
very short and poor crops of clover.
Wisconsin wheat is good except in
the northern part of the state and in
the northwest. There is not much
wheat grown in Wisconsin, the soil
being put to crops more adapted to it.
Peas for the canning industry are
grown largely in the lake shore coun-
ties. This crop looks especially good
at the present time, but was badly set
back by the early cold weather of the
spring. However, it looks equally as
good as last years crop at this time,
and if weather conditions are favora-
Bile from now on, the seasons run
will be a large one. Last year the
crop was diminished through contin-
uing dry weather at the time the
plants were podding"

Has Only Deer Farm in State.

F7aS Only DeeF arm IN 0Idtes
Washburn county enjoys the dis
tinction of having the only domesti-
Gated deer farm in the state. 1t is To-
Gated at Brentwood and is owned by
H. P. Nelson, formerly of Olivia, Mimi.
The last legislature passed a law
providing for farms of this nature.
Minnesota has had a law to this eff
feet for several years and it has been
a great factor in saving the deer. It
is generally conceded that certain peo-
pie will have venison at all times of
the year if they are forced to employ
some one to kill 1t for them against
the law. This law allows the owners
of these domesticated deer farms to
ship venison at any time of the year
Each piece of venison must have tag
attached issued by the state game
warden. Once each year the owner
must report to the state game warden
the number of deer on his place and
must notify this department when any
are slaughtered. Mr.. Nelson shipped
his deer to Brentwood from Minneso-
ia. He has 800 acres fenced for the
park, which, being located in a nat
ural deer country, makes it an ideal
spot for the domestication of these
animals

Game Warden SEXES Fish.

Game Warden SEXES Fish.
Deputy Game Warden Valentine
Raeth seized four barrels of perch,
white bass and pickerel shipped into
Milwaukee by fishermen on Lake Win
nebago.
The seizure was made under orders
from State Game Warden George w.
Rickeman, who went to Milwaukee to
look into the matter. The fishermen
say that the fish were all caught by
hook and line and not by nets, which
would be contrary to law.
The game warden's department,
however, holds that it would be i'm
possible to catch that amount without
the aid of nets. The statement is
made that there is splendid market
for fish both In Milwaukee and in Chi
cago.

they knelt at their mothers troo knelt In the streets and appealed to Heaven for assistance.
 Happily the wind dropped Tho men set to work again to save their property The charred fringe around the outskirts of the town on the sides facing the walls of raging flames stands in mute but terrible testimony 10 the narrow escape Rainy River had rom sharing in the fate of five cities that haa been consumed Hardly less pitiful than the state of the people is the plight of the animals. Cattle and horses, set loose by their owners raced wildly about the edge of the hre. Then they plunged into the deep and wide Rainy river and swan across. With them were hundreds of deer, caribou, moose, bears. timber wolves and wild cats. Fear bee qsenched their natural hostility ana when exhausted by their flight all lay down together.
 Never probably in the history of the country has there been seen so great and strange herd of animals as has passed here Many of the refugees who saw them pass were starving, but not a single animal was molested in It's flight from the common enemy.

CROWD OF 25,OGO
 HEARS ROOSEVELT
Immense TbrOng of People Greets For mer President at Opening of Fifth Arkansas State
 Fair.

Hot Springs, Ark, Oct. 11.-Colonel Theodore Roosevelt made his rem arks on the subject in connection with a speech on new nationalism" in which he urged, as he has done in his other speeches during his presont Southern trip, that the power of the central gov ernment be extended to deal with present day problems in the way Col onel Roosevelt believes they should be dealt with.
 One of the largest crowds which Colonel Roosevelt has addressed dur ing his Southern trip was at the fair grounds to hear him.
 First there came two trumpeters, mounted on horseback, dressed in gilt uniforms, and blarine forth sa- lute. They rode down the race track in front of the crowd, followed by a company of the National Guard. Then came Governor Donaehey, who was seated in an open carriage. He took his seat on stand across the track from the grand stand, where Colonel Roosevelt was seated. The former president was brought over to him.
 Confederate Veterans in their uni forms of gray were seated on one side of the stand in front of the children and other side some Grand Army Vet erans in their blue uniforms.
 Miss May Howell in blue strewed flowers over the Confederate Veterans who dodged and blinked as the shower descended over them.
 Miss Norma Hutton in gray did the same for the Grand Army men, and 1 then both young women threw roses over Colonel Roosevelt. Some one released four white doves, which symbolized the peace which now ex- ists between the blue and the gray Then Colonel Roosevelt began speak | ing.
 , Across the track and facing him stood out in bold relief the human flag "a magnificent creation formed of 1 200 school children. The piece, in it's entirety composed the entire sec tion of that grandstand Rows of chiI- dren dressed alternately in blue and white capes, rising tier about tier, composed the stripes, while blue-clad children, each carrying a white mount ed star, made up the upper left-hand section.
 His words to the school children, which formed the human flag, were clearly appropriated; nor did he bear them malice when their conversation threatened to drown him out in his splendid speech on the New Nation alism and what constituted good cit izenship.
