Rushing Clearing

Some time ago George Posey
purchased from T.. N. Clausen
two blocks of land in the Clau-
sen addition. Last season Mr..
Posey purchased a block and
had the same cleared up and
planted. This spring the two
additional blocks were pur-
chased. Just one week ago last
Monday Mr.. Posey started the
work of clearing, putting eight
men at work on the job. In
just four days time the entire
two blocks were brushed and as
soon as the frost leaves the
ground Mr.. Posey intends to
blast the stumps and do the
blowing. Mr.. Posey does not
believe in letting the land stand
idle but intends to get it cleared
up and growing crops as soon
as possible, This is about the
right idea.

Rubs Cartridge on a Ho
Stove and an Explosion
is the Result.

Victoria, the ten year old daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. A. Gierczyk of east
7th street met with serious accident
last Sunday evening while playing
with loaded cartridge. The little
children were alone in the house and
had found the shell. The little girl
began rubbing it on the hot stove and
an explosion followed. A part of the
shell tore away the thumb and finger
on the right hand and another piece
entered the girls side. A younger
brother who was in the room was
struck on the arm with piece of the
flying shell but was only slightly in
jured.
The parents were at church at the
time of the accident and Immediately
upon their arrival home physicians
were called and the little girl was
given medical attention. The thumb
and index finger on the right hand
had to be removed.
The little child is getting along
nicely and will come out of the acci-
dent all right if poisoning does not set
in.

Anglers Preparing for the
Opening of Season.
Considerable Snow Water In
Streams and Fishing Will
Not be Best.

Trout fishermen in the CITY are
making preparations for the opening
of the trout season which begins
next Monday, April 18th, On ac-
count of the large amount of snow
water still in the streams it is not
expected that fishing will be good
for some time, but then there is a
great many who will be content if
they can only get along the banks OF
the rivers and streams and catch an
occasional fish.
The law in regard to trout season
remains practically the same as last
year, as regards the size and quantity
of fish that can be taken by one per-
son during a single day. MANY of the
streams in the county Ihave been
stocked with fish every year for some
time and fishing ought to be about
as good as usual.
