Ray Maxeiner. son of the contractor
who is building the new addition to the
high school. met with an accident
Thursday which will cost him the loss
of the ends Of two fingers on his left
hand. While working the derrick used
to raises the iron beams in place, and
! in the act of lowering beam into its
proper position. the young man placed
his hand directly between the hosting
cogs Of the derrick, when he intended
to steady himself by leaning on the
brace next to the cog wheels. Fortu-
| nately his right hand was on the brake
and he stopped the machinery instant
ly which saved the loss Of his whole
hand OF perhaps a part of his arm.
Young Maxeiner's attention was so d.
| rected on the descending iron beam.
which was nearly in place. that he did
not notice where he put his hand.

Ernest Ludtke. the Lofts Creek man
who last week was reported to have
been shooting ducks out of season, APP
peared in Squire Crowelrs court last
Friday morning to answer to the
charge. After q short hearing Mr.
Ludtke was assessed for shooting six
ducks at the rate Of SO per duck and
one bittern or "shitepoke" for which
he was charged up with an additional
dollar. These fines together with the
costs amounted to $74.15 which was
promptly paid by check. Mr.. Ludtke is
a young married man Of considerable
means and could afford to pay for q
little sport II he felt 80 inclined. He
evinced considerable curiosity in re-
gard to who informed on him to the
authorities and It was still mystery
to him when he returned home He
also remarked that he didn't care any
thing about being fined for shooting
the ducks, but he did hate to pay fine
for shooting "thunderpump." Game
Warden Walter Ward was up in the
Lofts Creek neighborhood and brought
down several witnesses who were pre-
pared to testify that they had seen
Mr.. Ludtke with some ducks in his
possession. but they were not put on
the stand as Mr.. Ludtke confessed to
shooting six ducks and their testimony
was not considered necessary. Mr..
Ward Is doing some efficient work In
his efforts to suppress the illegal
shooting of game birds. Fines all go
to the school fund under the new game
law. 81 IN
