RICHMOND HUNTER
SHOOTS A "L00N''
Second Specimen of Great
Diving Bird Ever Seen
in This Locality.

After diving from one end of the This
five times, large and beautiful spe-
cimen of the North American loon, a
bird rarely seen in this part of the
country was shot by Harry Huck,
clerk at the Jones Hardware company
who in company with Charles Pit
man had gone to- the pond yesterday
morning to look for Wild duck which
had been reported as having been
seen in that vicinity. The loon is prob
! ably the best diving bird in existence
and relies to d great extent upon its
ability to stay under water great
| length of time to escape it's enemies
Huck shot the bird as it was rising
| from the water after long dive. One
of the shots p>rced its neck and an
other crippled one of its wings. II
| f1oundered in the water and was fish
ed out still alive. 1t soon recovered
from its stunned condition and show
ed fight. 1t required the efforts oj
both men before it could be overcome
and hole cut in its tongue to allow
it to bleed to death.
! The loon spends the winter along
| the Gulf of Mexico and in Central Am
erican regions. In the summer it mi
| CRATES northward and spends the
warm months in Canada and as fal
north as Alaska. The bird which HucE
/ shot is believed to have been on its
emigrating journey, although the time
is somewhat early.
Weighed Seven Pounds
The bird weighed seven and one
half pounds and measured about three
feet from the tips of its wings. Its
body and throat was pure white while
! the feathers of it's wings and bacl
were black spotted and barred with
white. It's bill, of the stork variety
was about five or six inches long.
The specimen was purchased b,
Walter Ratliff and will be stuffed ant
mounted by him and placed in hi:
private collection. He will give the
| carcass to the Earlham college au
thorities. 1t will be reduced TO tho
skeleton and placed in the museum
The loon generally follows the larg
err water streams in its migration
northward and for that reason it i:
seldom seen in this section. Accord
ing to Mr., Ratliff but one other loo1
was ever caught or seen in this yicin
ity. Its principal food is fish, fol

species and it is a rare occurrence fol

HOW LONG?

When will the next election for state or territorial and county off cials be held? Some of the officers who are said to be tired CD ofhold ing office and others to whom official life is a thing of beauty and a joy forever, are asking the ques. tion.
 There is a divergence of opinion on the question. Office holders dc not know themselves how long they will serve the common people, or more correctly speaking, how long it shall be until another election is held. A political authority says that inasmuch as the enabling act provided that all officers that are
