GORED BY ANGRY COW
Pet Heifer Attacks Mrs. N.
M. Emmons and Badly
Cores and Tramples Her.
Not In Dangerous Con-
dition.

Mrs. N. M. Emmons was
gored and trampled upon by a
heifer which was being driven
into the barn lot Sunday evening
and but for the promptness of
Mr.. Emmons would probably
have been killed. AS it is, the
IL dy sustained a cash in the
muscular part of her left arm
about six inches in length and
her body is mass of bruises
where the COW trampled and
gored her.
In assisting Mr. Emmons
turn the stock into the lot Mrs.
Emmons held the gate open for
the cattle to pass through. The
heifer was in the rear, and after
passing her, suddenly wheeled
and gored her in the arm knock
ing her against the wire fence
and to the ground. Her sore ans
brought Mr.. Emmons from the
barn, but ere he could beat the
brute away, his wife was severe
" mauled by the cows attempts
to gore. Her corset steels show
the marks of the animals horns,
and that alone saved the lady.
The heifer had always been a
pet, and this was her first act
of viciousness. She tried to gore
Mr.. Emmons when he was res
cuing his wife but was beaten
back.

LAND OF LAND SHARKS
Canada, According to Her
man Korth, is Overrated
and No Place for the Man
With Little Money.

800 ~-~~~~~ ARAOAAOJS
1T is the railroad companies
and land agents who are the
cause of all the misstatements
regarding existing conditions
in Canada. This l know, for
I've just returned from Edmon-
ton where | made a thorough
Investigation"
So said Herman Korth of
Clearwater Lake, who, with
Aug. Radtke and wife, Ernest
Hinklemann and wife, Stewart
Langill, and Mrs. Gus Bentz,
went to Edmonton, Canada,
with the intention Of locating
there To them, from what they
had heard and read, Canada
appeared to be the land of milk
and honey-Such as one only
reads about but rarely finds.
"If could have located there
half dozen years ago with sew
eral thousand dollars, bought
lots and built houses upon them
l could have made money.
Property now is three times
higher than it was FIVE years
ago 1t is the apex of The boom
right now and there is bound to
be a slump. If you rent a shack
or residence, you pay all the
way from $40 to 800 per
month. Those of our party who
are still there cannot find a
house and are boarding at So
per day. Hinkleman and wife
left Edmonton for Whitewater,
Wis, the same dav | did They
had enough. Stewart Langill
will go where his brother James
is. and pick up a homestead.
Land sharks make people
believe that lots two and three
hundred miles from a railroad
are going to sell like they do in
Edmonton-and they get the
buyers. l went into the immigra-
ton bureau and saw the saddest
lot of prospective settlers | ever
hope to see. | saw more than
one woman crying while l was
there. Some of them have good
reasons, too. They had sold all
they had in the States and didn t
know where to go or what to
do"
There were two families who
came from Michigan. One of the
men told me that he and his
wife worked all their married
life to save up a little home;
they sold it, and it would take
all to get them back. There are
FIVE men to every job IN Edmon-
ton-and there are more coming
in every day.
"Radtke did not have any
house when l left, but had his
furniture stored. Mrs Bentz- and
Mrs. Radtke were not taken
with the idea of leaving good
homes and then paying $40 per
month for shack not as good
as the average chicken coop
and there were thousands OF
these shacks and tents.
Il do not think there is any
homestead worth taking up in
that part of the country. 1t IS
so far from a railroad that what
is raised cannot be gotten to
market. Lots are offered at
$500 which are two hundred
miles from a railroad, and the
incentive is given that cities will
grow as the country advances.
Il would call it a desolate
looking country. Willow, popPle
and brush; jack pine slashinSs
and hills abound. [ was given to
understand by some who had
lost all they had that if a man

Mcintyre fish was taken to
Madison Sunday night by Geo.
E. O'Connor, who intends ban
quoting several legislative
friends.
Fred Morey has broken into
print, all on account of his
having landed a fve-pound,
pink-eye bass Sunday. Fred
used to be some fisherman years
ago when he was owner of what
is now the Everett resort.
History repeats itself. If it
does not, then ask 6. ]. Cory of
Chicago who spends the opening
days Of the fish season at Lake
side Farm on Little St. German.
Last year, on June 10th, Mr..
Cory caught a 32 pound mus
kellunge and two that weighed
16 pounds each. Yesterday he
again "made good" with the
assistance of Billy Peddycoart,
by bringing to gaff a 27 pound
muskie. He is sure some angler.
Messrs. Church, Potter and
Schultz of Milwaukee and Lohr
of Wausau were fag-end-of-last-
week fishermen at The Morey.
They left yesterday with their
limit of bass and pike. Potter
hooked a musky but didn't con
meet. Church fell asleep upon
the resort dock; a hve-pound
bass nailed his hook and he
awoke in time to land it. Lohr
had the usual fsherman's luck,
but got wet.

DOG=DAYS.

The dog days have come to an end
anything to do with the dog days. for
these get their name simply from the
fact that during the six weeks Of dog
days the sun appears in the constella-
ton of CAMS Major, in which the
largest star, Sirius. or the dog star.
which Is generally hid BY the sun.
comes out from behind the sun, and
has what is called Its "heliacal rising"
or separation from the suns rays. 30
that It can be seen.
Although his star is supposed TO be
the largest In the heavens and the
nearest to the earth, yet It Is SO far
away from our solar system that it
heating effect Is very small on our
planet and there is no real occasion
for aseribing the heat of dog days TO
the star itself The real reason that
the so-ealled dog days are hot is that
the heat of the sun is felt more At
this season of the year than any other
for a reason similar to that of the ex-
IRENE coldness Of the grounding sea
son-about February 2.
The earth receives approximately
its greatest heat and light N the year
about the Goth Of June and its least
about the 20th Of December. But tho
earth has a kind of heat savings bank
system by which some of the heat re
ceiYed from the sun, and not radiated
the same day, Is saved up. as We may
say. until 1t is wanted for ripenlng the
crops and other purposes. So the
Warmeet days range from about June
20 to August 20. Then they begin to
grow cooler again by losing daily more
heat than they receive. until near
grounding day when they begin
10 store up again.
The weather man has hig local
storms and air currents To look after.
and these are always furnishing goa-
sip for the weather wise. but they
never affect Old Sol, who l. about 81
100000 miles beyond all our clouds
and currents and Is always "on hia
job" This is the best time of year 70
