LINCOLN AND FISCUS

Frank He'll some time ago, came to
the field in the morning, to pick corn
and was surprised to see a deer quietly
grazing. The animal seemed little
afraid and remained in the field
through out the forenoon; but when
| Frank returned after dinner it was
gone. This deer was without doubt a
stray from the herd down the Nishne-
botna near Avoca. There are from
| two to four hundred of above animals
! to be found in the timber near Avoca.
A few years ago the herd was very
small, but being under state protection,
| have increased remarkably during the
last few years. In fact they have be-
come a nuisance to the farmers in
that locality, by destroying crops. 1t
is nothing uncommon for the farmers
TO get up in the morning and find a
piles. The state has made several at
, tempts to remove them, but without
avail. About a year ago, a large
coral was built and many of the
animals were driven into it. An at
tempt was then made to put them in
! large crates; but they were so vicious,
that about nine out of every ten broke
leg and had to be killed. Some
thing will have to be done soon, as
the herd is now large and will mul.
| tiply to such an extent that many
farms in that locality will have to be
abandoned. 1t begins to look as
though an old fashioned deer hunt,
would be the best way to reduce the
size of the herd.
Will Norton and wife of Grand
Junction, Colorado, have been here
some time visiting with their relatives
and old friends. They have been
absent for fifteen or more years, and
are enjoying the trip immensely.
They state that the changes in old
Iowa have been most remarkable, es-
pecially the great improvements such
as newer and better buildings upon
the farms; but the hills are unchanged.
They also state that for fruit, al nice
climate Colorado has us beat; but
when it comes to hogs, cattle and corn
and general farming all states must
bow to old Iowa.
Mrs George Wilson one of the pion-
GERS of Lincoln township died some
time ago in hospital in Omaha She
moved from here with her husband
some fifteen years ago to northwestern
Shelby county, where they have re-
sided since. l will try and give COM
plete obituary next week.
Will Wooster and Roy Sheppard
each had fields that yielded eighty
bushels to the acre. Fred He'll had
between 1000 and $500 bushels from
seventy acres.
The largest corn crop ever raised in
Audubon county has just been gar
nered. Many farmers around here are
reporting some splendid yields.
Will Norton reports that grand
father Elseberry is still alive and
hearty at the age of ninety-one years.
Lars Hodne who formerly lived here
reports loosing sixty-four head of hogs
from cholera the past month.
Liberty Creamery have been paying
thirty-four cents for butter fat since
November Is.
Mrs. Raebel and Mrs. Chas. Jwigens
left Friday for few weeks visit in
Illinois.
