ARE sCRAMBL1NG FOR FOOD.

Patchogue, l.. l., March 6.-Hun-
dreds of thousands of starving wild
ducks, mostly broadbills, with a
number of black ducks and whist
lers, accompanied by big seagulls,
have been lowering for nearly two
weeks around the mouths of the
streams running into the Great
South bay. They have been seeking
food in the open waters, the bay it.
self, the feeding grounds of the
birds, having been frozen over solid
from shore to shore.
Never within the memory of bay
men and sportsmen have so many
wild ducks been seen in this region
SO late in the winter. The open sea-
son for ducks extends from Nov.
to Jan. 10.
Charles Hunstein, Patchogue
duck hunter, says the ducks usually
fatten up on diminutive fish found
in the bay, preparatory to starting
on their long fight to the north,
but this season, owing to the freez-
ing over, they were deprived of this
food. In consequence they are too
weak for such flight. Many Of the
birds have died Of actual starvation;
when stripped of their feathers they
proved to be little more than skin
and bone.
The ducks are so ravenous that
they are quite tame, remaining in
the water sometimes while baymen
and state officials threw food to
them. %.
John Vincent, another Patchogue
duck hunter, says he scattered
cracked corn on the Patchogue riv-
er and on the nearby ice of the bay
one day and the ducks almost scram-
bled to his feet for it.
Herbert Silsbe, 15-year-old son of
Sherman Silsbe, a bayman, fell off
the edge of the ice on the bay while
feeding the ducks, and the ducks
few all around him while he was
out.
Sometimes great flocks of them
are seen rising from Indian river,
Browns creek, Corey's creek, Patch
ogue river, Canman's river and 9TH
or streams. They are viewed with
great interest by passengers on the
Montauk division Of the Long Island
railroad.

bach, in Rhineland, and, half car
ried, half led, passed down the gar
landed high street to house on
which hung wreath inscribed,
welcome Home"
She was Frau Hamm, the middle
aged widow of farmer, and she had
just been released after serving five
and one-half years penal servitude
in Siegburg prison, where she was
undergoing a sentence of fourteen
years for alleged completely in the
murder of her husband.
The courts, in response to parlia-
mentary pressure, decided that the
prisoner was entitled to a retrial, on
the strength of evidence that she
was wrongly convicted.
Although Flandersbach was en- fe-
te in her honor, Frau Hamm, I'M
able to comprehend the meaning of
her triumphal Homecoming, could
neither laugh or cry. A nervous
twitching was the only expression
of her emotions. Her brother, who
went to the station to fetch her,
hardly recognized her, and his greet
ing was hysterical outburst of
tears.
Frau Hamm gave no sign of re-
alizing her surroundings until a
curly haired boy Of 6 advanced re-
luctantly with a bouquet. He had
to be pushed toward the woman,
whose appearance frightened him.
The boy was her second child. He
was only a fortnight old when she
was arrested, and she had not seen
him. since. When friends made her
he was her son she drew
the boy passionately to her breast
and smothered him with kisses.
The conviction of Frau Hamm is
now attributed to the zeal of de-
tective, who is said to have set him
self the task of convicting her at all
costs. His methods will be thor
oughly Investigated at the retrial.
Two farm hands now in custody are
believed to be the real authors of
the murder.

IOWA GIRL
IS MISSING

Henry County Mystified BY Disap-

Missing Girl Former Wesleyan Stu

Dependency. ..@
MAY HAVE GONE TO OTTUMWA.

Mount Pleasant, March Henry
county is facing one of the mos
battling mysteries that has confront
ed it for years, in the attempt tt
account for the absolute and tota
disappearance about two weeks age
Of Miss Bessie Hiltebran, of Hills.
boro, a former Iowa Wesleyan stu.
dent. 1t is feared by her friends
and relatives that the girl, who is
barely 20 years of age, may have
fallen into the hands of whiteslav.
ers in Des Moines or the vicinity.
Miss Hiltebran disappeared from
her home at Hillsboro two weeks
ago, and since that time not the
slightest inkling has been discover.
ed of her whereabouts. There are
numerous and conflicting stories
coming from Hillsboro but none of
them seem to offer any final solu-
ton of the difficulty. The parents
are at loss to account for her alb
sence and have vouched little or no
information.
One story told by friends is to the
effect that two weeks ago Miss Hill
tebran started with brother to
Montana, where she intended to visit
relatives. En- route they stopped at
Des Moines, registering at hotel,
intending to depart in the morning
for St. Paul. The brother left the
hotel for short time, and on his
return found that his sister was
missing. Another story says that on
Feb. 20, the missing girl went to
Ottumwa to do some shopping and
visit friends and that her disappear
ance dates from that place. 1t is
impossible to verify these stories,
and it seems that about the only
thing that is known about the affair
Is that the girl has disappeared as
completely as if she had been swal-
lowed up in some vast cataclysm.
Miss Hiltebran attended Iowa
Wesleyan for about three years,
graduating from the academy two
years ago. Last year she was a
member of the freshman class. When
school opened this fall she register
ed as a sophomore. Her health was,
however poor and upon the advise
of her physician discontinued her
school work within a few days, and
returned to her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Aaron Hiltebran, of Hillsboro.
Her college friends state and the
members of the faculty interviewed
corroborated their statements, that
she was an unusually brilliant stu
dent, but that she was given to fits
Of terrible dependency. These re-
often toward the end of her
freshman year, and her friends fear
that possibly in one of the moods |
which was deepened by her i'll
health that she may have committed |
suicide. The whole county is stirr-
ed by the possible terrible fate of
The young girl.
