IT WAS HIS BUSY DAY.
THIS MAN FROM HENRY.

A. c. Nelson of Henry, came over
to Watertown one day last week and
the way he scratched gravel would be
evidence that he is winner. He mar
ried a widow with two children. rented
house and moved in and later applied
to Jim Skinner for job on the dray
line-eot the job and discovered that
he Yves living too far away from the
barn. He hustled around and rented
another house near the barn and moved
again. Then he lost his wife and
two kids and it was some time before
he got them located. He finally found
them. Then he bought a stove from the
Cozy Home and hustled some coal to
burn in it. All this was done in half
day last Thursday. Jim Skinner says
he is good man and that he considers
the widow lucky in her catch.

GAME WARDENS WORK
ABiG SKIN GAME.

Herman braves, who resides on a
farm southeast Of Watertown was ap-
pretended with q large number of musk
rat and other fur bearing hides OF ami
mails trapped out Of season. He was
brot into municipal court and pleaded
guilty to trapping fur bearing animals
out of season and was fined $50 and
costs, amounting in all to $62. so.
1t is said that great many boys and
men in this county have been in the
habit Of ignoring the state law in this
regard and this Is the first time that
any one has ever been fined for trap
ping out Of season in this county.
County Game Warden Peter Schoen-
berger found the hides buried in an
oat bin and brot the whole outfit to
the city where they will be sold ac-
cording to law.
This shonld be a warning to others
who have been in the habit of violat-
ing the GENE laws of the state that it
is mighty expensive business if they
are caught at it Pete Schoenberger,
the county game warden, is like Nick
Carter. the great detective-he never
sleeps and is liable to drop right down
