Percy Miller, who resides in Buck
wheat Valley near Wonewoc acciden-
tally shot himself through the foot Sun
day while getting ready to go hunting.
He is getting along nicely under the
care of physician.
On Thursday evening two automobiles
loaded with young men bent on ami
hilating all the coon on the bluffs south
of North Freedom, left Baraboo in gay
spirits. When the hunting grounds
were reached the crowd separated into
little detachments with the result that
two were left behind when the time for
nome coming came. It is whispered
that it was the intention to lose Judge
andre in the deep woods but the justice
kept one eye on the automobiles and
arrived in Baraboo in one of the cars.
1t was serious for the other two hunt
ers, however, one an employe of the
Chicago & Northwestern and the other
Milwaukee travelling salesman stop
ping at the Warren house. They were
strangers to The highways, the COLLINS
were more numerous than usual and the
hills were so steep they could scarce
ly climb them. While they were walk
ing into town those who came in the
cars were tucked into warm beds anC
having coolies and coolies of fun at the
expense of their companions left behind.
It is said the salesman who walked was
completely exhausted and it might
have been serious affair if anything
should have happened. Much secrecy
surrounds the affair and it has been as
hard to get at the truth as for man
to climb CREASED pole backward with
an armful of eels.
