Camping Party Returns.

A camping party Of the follow
ing members has returned from a
few days fishing at the cut off, s
miles below Louisiana, Mo. Judge
w. W. Fry, S. A. Malone, Chas
Carpenter, DIR. w. G. Moore, L. r.
Ferris and son, Ross, and Garter
Fry and Mr.. Mills. the latter two
of Louisiana.
Like all fishing crowds they had
their ups and downs, but all de-
clare they are ready to go again
at the first opportunity.
Possibly it was owing to dry
weather and the river being low
that accounts for their not catch
ing any fish, but the disappoint-
ment would not have been so hard
TO bear had it not been for the
rosy picture Judge Fry and DIR.
Moore painted, of former fishing
trip they had, telling several true
stories of their catch. By a vote
of 7 to / Ferris was selected as
cook, with the understanding that
the first one that kicked about the
cooking was to take his place.
There were no open demonstra-
tions, but the rest of the crowd
held several meetings but no one
was brave enough to register
kick. The return trip up the
river proved to be the most ex-
citing part of the entire trip, The
small gasoline launch stopped in
the middle of the stream and re-
fused to go any further up stream
without more gasoline. A care
full search failed to find any of the
precarious fluid and with a last
throb of the engine it stopped and
the boat turned its nose down
stream and began to float with the
current. Every attempt to coax
a few more throbs of the engine in
order to run the boat ashore was
a failure. 1t was suggested that
Malone, being the taller of the
party, wade ashore for help, but
this he fatty refused to do and
started to use language that did
not sound right, even on a fishing
trip, Carpenter regretted very
much that he had not learned to
swim when he was a boy, and
Judge Fry collected all the life
preservers and sat upon them. He
afterwards explained that he in
tended to distribute them in cas-,
S the boat sank, and that he was no
,, selfish enough to want them all
i At this point Carter Fry found
quart of gasoline in DR.. Moor
grip and the distance of a quartz
# of a mile to shore was made il
# safety, where another launch wa
S. chartered and the trip to Louis
ana completed.
