FLAX THIEVES AT SAWYER

VIM. Smith and l., G. Wheeler
who reside on the G.. Urick farm
about seven miles southwest of
town, had about SO bushels of
lax stolen from their gran ary
last Friday night. VIM. Smith
was attending the dance in Saw
yer that night and L. q. Wheeler
went to bed about II p. m. Rich
ara Dix, who resides about one
half mile south of them, was
aroused by his dog about IL
o'clock, and saw two men with
bob sleighs, going in that direc-
tioA. and thought little Of it.
About an hour later he saw the
same outfit returning. The fol-.
lowing day Wheeler and Smith
got busy and traced the sneak
thieves for some distance. They
are pretty sure of the guilty par
ties. but up to the time of going
TO press no arrests have been
made. This is not the first time
that grain thieves have got in
their work in that neighborhood
and we hope that they will be
caught and punished to the limit.

explosion. The fire spread so
rapidly that nothing of the stock

Mr.. Wells who was at the time
of the explosion in the building,
received severe burns about the
face and body. He was immedi-
ately taken to the Hotel Plaza
and put under physicians care.
At the time we are going to press
it is reported that he is improv-

The citizens Of Plaza fought
the fire successfully, preventing
its spread to other buildings in
the neighborhood. The loss is a

WEATHER HAS BEEN COLD

The thermometer has stood we'll be-
low the zero mark the past two weeks,
with no relief in sight at the present
time. The coolest day according to
government Thermometers in Minet was
% degrees below zero although in the
country some of the thermometers re-.
gistered considerable colder. There
has been little suffering. Our farmers
have contented themselves with toast
ing their shins at their own firesides
while the town FOLKS have kept warm
firing up. The coolest point in the
United States so fsr this winter was
Duluth, MINI. where the thermometer
registered 39 below. We have not had
so much cold weather in one stretch for
nine years.

MARY STOCkMAN'S TROUBLES ARE
OVER @

Mary Stockman, An aged Kennare
woman, who has been in destitute cir
cumstances, was found at her little
home in that city in dying condition
Thursday. She passed away soon af-
ter being taken to the Kenmare hospi
tai. There is good deal of pathos in
the story Of this unfortunate woman. Z
Last fail an effort was made to have
her adjudged insane but when she
appeared before the insanity board. it
was found that she was in possession Of
her faculties and she made q brave
fight to keep from being sent to the
asylum. The county has since been
aiding her and many Of the good people
of kenmare came to her assistance and
made her last days pleasant.

rom Wide World Magazine.


Yearly, at the coming Of spring, tho
thousand coastal islands of New Zealand,
more especially those lying toward the
south, become the temporary homes or
myriads of mutton birds. which pay us
a visit for the nesting season. Out or
the. silences of the great southern ocean
come the BIRDS in vast armies. LOWRY
ing over the water, for the most part
close in shore. the huge flocks draw dark
parallels Of shadow across the seascape
The birds fly in separate bands, disci-
plined and maSSed into a serried whole-a
continuous stream that passes between
sea and sky. Each army shows a front
of perhaps quarter Of a mile, the huge
length stretching away league AFTER
league into interminable distance
Stand on the brow of some coastal
headland and watch the passage of one
of these bird armies. 1t is a wonderful
sight. Far below one looks down on a
heaving floor of close-packed, undulatins
black backs. lit by myriad scintilla-
the floor so serried the ranks of the fly
ers, that the water beneath is hidden
as with a carpet.
Hour after hour the passage of the
army continues, from dawn till dark and
far into the night. In the night the
noise Of countless beating wings that
surges up over the cliffhead tells that
the army is still on the move, till the
whirr of wings and cries of the rear

faint in the distance. and one realizes
that at last the mighty host has passed

There is splendid map of the battle

tional park commission, and made under
the direction of the commission. This

around. 1t covers all the territory in
which the three days fighting occurred,
except some of the distant cavalry tight
ing and shows the positions of all the dif-
ferent commands. The Gettysburg ma
tional park is presented in this map in de-
tail and completeness. 1t is Il govern
