WILD DUCKS START
ON SOUTHERN TRIP
Flying Toward Warmer Places Now
and Hunters Plan Warm
Reception.

The fall flight of ducks toward
the southern breeding quarters is on.
The birds are advancing ahead of
the cold weather and their reception
has been carefully planned and many
hunting lodges have been established
along the Mississippi and the upper
lakes. The feathered army has moth
ing but its fleetness Of wing and
wary maneuvers for protection. 1t Is
long time when wits are marched
against wits. Hunters seclude them
selves in blinds and hide in hay
stacks, where they remain for hours
motionless. The same men would
not sit in a cold room five minutes
without grumbling.
There is something Unfortunately
fascinating in watching an unsuspect-
ing green head, with wings set, COM
ing to his death. The hunter feels
that he has "outgeneraled'' the enemy
and it is moment of exhilirating
excitement. One mistake on the part
Of the hidden sportsman and the keen
sense of the wild fowl detects dan
ger. The bird deviates from it's
course and flies swiftly to safety.
Aside from being good marksman,
1t takes a person of rare patience and
fortitude to be successful in hunting
ducks.
The law affords ducks considerable
protection. 1t provides that the use
of artificial blinds in open waters or
sink boats in hunting ducks or geese
is unlawful, as is also the use of a
swivel gun, sail boat, electric or steam
boat or gasoline boat. 1t is unlawful
to shoot them from any other than a
boat propelled by oars or paddle.
Shooting by artificial light is also
prohibited.
Fall shooting on the Mississippi
river as in streams and lakes in this
vicinity is generally best when the
ducks are making their way south.
Many of the ducks follow this course.
Not more than 10 ducks, 10 geese. 10
brant or 2 game birds can be killed
in one day. The season for hunting
ducks opened September and will
close April Is Of next year.

Of the crash and the engineer did not
have time to warn him before he
jumped When the wreckage was cut
away and his body found he was lying
in heap with his limbs, charred,
burned from hot water and escaping
steam. There is no doubt but that he
met his death instantly and without
the slightest warning. Fireman
Hughes attempted to save his life by
jumping but had such slight warning
that his foot was caught between the
fender and the cab just as the two
trains crashed. Held as he was
| hedged in the wreckage and his foot
nearly severed being slowly scalded
to death with escaping steam 1t was
necessary that his foot be pulled of
before he could be gotten out. Doc.

was conscious and talked to friends

other department of the government,

Eof the mails or the regulation there.

Train 81 for Mt Pleasant is due out
OF keokuk at $3.50 p. m. and was over
an hour late 1t mad just left the
yards and was making a fast run to
make the hill Just north Of the bridge.
The switching train was coming from
the uptown switch with long cut OF
cars and was running fast down
grade. There is a sharp curve just
before the bridge Is reached and
little warning was given the crews of
the two trains. The terrific force OF
the collision smashed the head ends
of both engines, reduced an empty
box car just behind the coal tender OF
the regular train almost to kindling
wood and piled the coal car in hear
upon the rear of the engine. The
track was not torn up and the en-
gines remained on the track WIFI
their head ends wedged tightly to
