r. It was not alone in early New England that the
bird was regarded with such favor as an edible.
Isaac DeRasieries in 1927 writes OF them in the New
Netherlands
'eThere are also very large turkeys running wild.
They have very long legs and run so extraordinarily
fast that we take sayages when we so to
hunt them, for when one has deprived them OF the
power of living they yet run fast that we cannot

Turkeys have been called the greatest game bird of
this country, and the methods Of taking them have
been many. John Hunter, who was captured by the
Indians aud spent some time in captivity, in his me-
smoiys, written ip 1924, tells how the Indians made

among the Indians the children were expected to
kill turkeys with their blow guns. Hlese were hol-
low reeds, din which arrows were placed and blown
out with such force that, being directed at the eyeof
the creature, they often brought him down. Chill

sort OF shooting. Adrian Van der Donck says that
turkeys were sometimes caught by dogs in the snow

his rifle cooked and placed 1t on
the ground with the muzzle against his
abdomen. He began to go through
his pockets for smoking material and
his dogs ran up to him, one of them
jumping against him or the gun in
such way that 1t was discharged, the
ball taking diagonal course through
his body from the lower portion of the
abdomen on the right side toward his
left shoulder.
Milton offered to go for help but
Armacost pleaded with him not to
leave him saying he was dying Mil

LOCAL WOMAN
RODE ON TRAIN
HIT BY NO. 81

Mrs. Howard Kamp was a passenger
on train No 35 Of the Pennsylvania
system which had a collision with No.
"a near ST. Paris last night, but she
telephoned here Immediately after the
wreck to her husband, telling him
aside from a severe shaking up she
was uninjured. There were other Rich
mond people on the train but their
names have no. been learned
Two trainmen were killed in the
wreck and two others probably fatally
injured The dead are NJ. F. Coffee Of
Columbus, O., engineer OF No. 35, and
J. w. Ulrich of Logansport, fireman of
No "a. W. NJ. Newther of Logansport,
engineer of "a, and Ray Innis. fireman
of 35, are the injured.
When Mrs. Kamp telephoned here
she said that the baggage cars Of No.
35 were lying in a ditch and that the
passengers were gathered helplessly
around watching their baggage being
devoured by the flames.
No. 35 is a wooden train, while No.
"a is composed of all steel coaches.
and naturally the heavy train was not
very badly damaged.
The railroad is double tracked where
the wreck occurred and instead OF
passing on separate tracks, the trains
were on the same track.
None of the passengers were injured
severely, although many suffered
minor injuries

About s o'clock In the evening sew
eral people on North Sixth street were
attracted to the first alley north Of
