SHOT BOYS DOG.
Gilbert Haugen Bound Over TO Grand
Jury for Shooting Dog.


Last Friday Gilbert Haugen was
arrested on a warrant issued by p
H. Whalen, Justice OF the Peace,
charging him with injury to beasts.
1t appeared at the trial that Carl
Christopher and another boy went
into the woods on Gilbert Haugen's
farm and were shooting squirrels.
Gilbert Haugen went down through
the woods with gun and shot the
dog. 1t appears that the offense of
maliciously shooting a dog, the prop
erty Of another, is quite a serious
thing according to the statutes of
Iowa, which provides a punishment
all the way from five years in the
penitentiary down to Imprisonment
in the county Jail or a fine. Gilbert
Haugen was found guilty on trial in
Justice Court last Friday and bound
over to await the action of the grand
jury and gave bond in the sum of
three hundred dollars for his appear
ance.

Shepherd of the Hills.

Harold Bell Wright, the most pop-
ular American novelist, with the as
sistance of Lem B. Parker and Els
bury w. Reynolds, has dramatized
his most widely read novel THE
Shepherd of the Hills The first
ton will take place at the Grand
early this fall. 1t is heart-stirring
and wholesome story and one that
breathes the simple life of the noun
tains and the pasture, but yet sets
forth human passions, ambitious en-
deavors, failures and successes. A
story that should be even greater as
drama than as novel.

How They Did 1t.

An old farmer and his wife lived
near the village church. One warm
Sunday evening, while they sat doz-
ing on the porch, the crickets set up
loud chirping.
II just love that chirpin noise,
said the old man drowsily, and before
the crickets had stopped he was fast
asleep.
Soon afterward the church choir
broke into a beautiful chant.
Just listen to that exclaimed
his wife, amt is beautiful
Yes" murmured the old farmer
sleepily, they do it with their hind

STREETS
ARE SPREADING

Eaton, May 6.-Following the
example OF the town council in
''sugaring' the streets the factory
management has made . splendid
pavement about its grounds by put
ting on several thousands Of gallons
of beet syrup. Thep ortion syruped
is as hard as a rock and not . fly
in sight. There was some dissats-
faction found with the last syrup
put ON the Eaton streets which did
not saturate the ground a. it
should. This was due to the fact
that the temperature was httle
too cold for best results and hers-
after the streets will be sugarod
only on = warm, pleasant day. The
syrup IL mixed with one-third water
and must be put ON hot. Mayor
Phillips is having many calls from
over the state. asking about the ex-
pertinent and wherever there ia .
sugar factory there IL likely to be .
call for beet syrup for street pur-
poses.

her business and home affairs.
1t Is probable that the Lyttla

popularity under the direction ri

LYNX CAUGHT.
WITH A LASS0
BY RANChmAN
Capture Made in the Chalk Bluffs
Country BY Irving King While
After Stray Cattle

Mum, May 3.-While riding in
the bed of dry stream at the foot
of Chalk Bluffs, Irving King. fore
man on the ]. NJ. Gingrich ranch,
20 miles northeast of here, lassoed
big lynx Monday. the largest
specimen of its kind ever seen here
and the first one in many years.
King was looking for stray cattle
and had his lariet in his hand. He
saw black object ahead of him
near hole in the side OF the bluff
and at first thought 1t was young
calf. AS he approached the animal
started to run but he was too quick
for it, swung his lariet and caught
the lynx in the coil OF his rope with
the first throw. When captured the
animal showed considerable light,
but was chicken to death when
Kings pony started ahead. 1t was
over four feet long. Lynx fur is
very valuable and Kings capture
would have brought him several
hundred dollars had 1t not been
damaged when his horse
dragged 1t. There are plenty Of
bob" or wild cats in the Chalk
Bluffs country but this 10 the first
lynx captured In years.

BIRD STUDENTS
EARLY RISERS

Early rising is becoming a habit
with the members Of the bird study
classes at the State Teachers college
as frequent 1aunts are taken to the
country at daybreak to study the
birds found in this vicinity. The
advanced class in bird study spent
one morning at Island Grove park
and another at the Evans lake,
studying water birds. Thursday
morning the girls of the second
class. numbering 80, accompanied
by Prof. L. A. Adams, left Greeley
at 4 O'Clock and went to Island
Grove park and were rewarded by
finding 80 varieties Of birds on the
trip. These were observed and
were later studied In class.
An excursion IL being planned by
Prof. Adams q few weeks later to
heronage 13 miles from Greeley
where there are great numbers Of
the blue heron and the white crown
heron. Both classes will take the
trip which will be made on Satur-
day, when the entire day will be at
their disposal. Bird study is prov
ing iatensely interesting to the
members of the class.

SWAT FLY
AND MAKE
BIG name
GREELEY HAS CHANCE FOR
WORLD WIDE FAME IF SYS-
TENATIC FLY EXTERNuNAT.
ING CAMPAIGN Is STARTED

The city may take the initiative
In . ny exterminating campaign IN
oepeley. The interest in such q
movement Is greater than ever be-
fore in the city and City Health Of
Acer Shields has been preparing
warnings about breeding places for
aies. The clean up week IN the
city was a good start to q clean and
flyless Greeley for this summer, II
all will cooperate in the good cause.
There are but few natural breed
ing places for flies in Greeley COM
pared with cities of the same size.
The conditions are better here for
0yiess town than in most places
and it has been demonstrated by
the United States government that
the worst flyridden zones can be
kept free of the pests by systematic
work.
Greeley could become famous
throughout the United States in a
single summer If the city council
would take the initiative in rid
ding the place of flies and the resi-
dents would back up the city in the
work. There is organized effort IN
some of the eastern cities toward
this end, but the movement has only
fairly started. If this city would
20 on record as opposing the house
fly in a systematic campaign, 1t
would set an example that would be
followed by other towns and would
be the subject of endless favorable
comment in all of the newspapers
in the country.
Some enthusiastic residents are
hoping that the Greeley Commercial
club will take some action in the
matter as the Chamber of Commerce
at Detroit has done. The adver-
tising committee of the commercial
club realizes what a splendid adver-
tisement such movement would
be for the city and is making eff
forts to have a general campaign
started.

to go to the cabin. for 1t was his
time to make the meal. A box OF
dynamite caps lay In the sun near

the sun until overheated. The
slight jar did the rest. BY miracle
he was not torn to shreds, but he
was hurled ten feet. Within
minute he arose. blinded, bleeding,
but calm. The mountains and the
sky had vanished. Where his hands
had been were bleeding stumps and
with his hands had gone all means
of livelihood.
"All that afternoon Hanks lay
alone. save for the companionship
of small dog. which cried piteous-
ly all the day. Mercifully, Hanks
suffered no pain except for the
bandages which tortured him ex-
cruciatingly, as his arms swelled.

frightened and ran away yesterday
Carl Strohmier had a very marrow
escape from death and this morning
can hardly move as q result OF seri-
ous sprains and bruises which he
received when he struck the ground
with the bed OF the wagon coming
down on top Of him. One of the
valuable horses Of the team was in
stantly killed when 1t struck . tele-
phone pole and the wagon 10 a
wreck.
Yesterday evening Strohmier who
works for F. j. Knott to whom the
team belongs started home. He
crossed the railroad tracks and as
he did SO the white OF an ap-
proaching train frightened his team
into a run. He controlled them for
a time but the horses were too much
for him and left the road. They
struck a telephone pole and the jar
turned the wagon completely
around and threw the wagon box
high in the air with its occupant,
The wagon bed came down wrong
side up and Strohmier crawled out
from under it cut, bleeding and
dazed. The freed horse ran for
about half a mile before 1t was
stopped and in the meantime Stroh-
mier walked to the office of DR..
Vance, who found no bones broken,
but the man badly bruised and
wrenched When the physician had
patched up his injuries 1t 10 said
that Strohmier looked like . scar
red veteran of many wars. The
team had reputation as a runaway
one having a record of two mad
runs in one day last summer.
