CAMBRIDGE BLOCK BURNED.
Nelson Bros Hardware Store De-
stroyed With Loss Of $4,000.

Cambridge. Jan. 9.-Fire of an un-
known origin destroyed the Nelson
Bros hardware and implement store
early Thursday. The lire was first
discovered by Jim Beck. who lives next
door to the store, and he rushed out
and gave the alarm. by firing a shot
gun and afterwards ringing the fire
bell. A number of people responded on
short notice, but the fire had gained
such Roadway that nothing could be
done except try to save the nearest
buildings. The Beck home was badly
scorched by the fire, but on keeping
a continued stream of water on the
roof and south part OF the house it
was saved, however they had all the
furniture moved out and the floors and
walls were badly water soaked.
The Pulls Bros store building was
also in danger as well as other build
ings near by, especially from the fly
ing embers and sparks.
The building and stock is total
loss. Only few things stored in
shed on the north side were saved.
The loss will be very neavy as the
stock and building had value of
about eighteen thousand dollars, with
less than half of that amount of in
surance.
They had small safe where they
kept about two thousand dollars in
notes and $4,000 in book accounts, and
while they have not yet been able to
make an investigation of their safe, 1t
is feared that the contents have suf-
fered.
The building was a large frame
structure with two store rooms, and
,oIl T.,
and was owned by Andrew Nelson in
dividualy.
Just how the fire started will prob
ably never be known. When the store
was locked up in the early evening
there was no fire to speak of in the
stove so it couldn't have started from
that source.

STATE GAME WARDEN HlNsHAW
PROPOSES TAX FOR SPECIAL
PURPOSES.
RECOMMENDS cHANeENN
LAW ExAcrINe FEE OF 81
Would Include Those Who Engage in
Trappins-says Fund Thus Raised
Should 30 Used in Improving Lakes,
Building Dams and Establishing
Parks-Would Not Change Bird Laws
special to Times-Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Jan. 9.-The hunter IL
cense not only for hunters but for
fishing and trapping in Iowa. That is
the recommendation of E. =. Hinshaw,
fish and game warden, in his report to
the governor He would have licenses
issued for those who so fishing and
those who engage in trapping, each to
be a 81 Fee and the proceeds to go to
the Improvement Of lakes, the building
Of dams. making parks along the fine
Iowa streams and in general to the
making of Iowa a better place for fish
ing as well as for hunting.
Recommendations for change in the
law as to migratory birds are with
held for the present for the reason that
the chances are there will be material
change very soon in the federal rgu-
lations. and the desire is to have Iowa
in line with the federal law.
Warden's Recommendation.
More licenses were issued the first
half of the fiscal year ending Jan. 1
than usual. Mr.. Hinshaw has heard
from eighty-two counties which issued
S0,441 licenses, from which it is plain
the total up to the first Of the year is
about 100000. Last year, for the en-
tire year, the total was 1928. This
year. also, $4,000 was turned in to
the school funds in fines. Special rec
concentrations Of the game warden
cover these points:
Larger authority to the fish and
game commission as to game reserves
and stronger penalties for hunting on
these reserves.
Provision for the improvement Of
any meandered lake out of the game
funds, and also special law for rights
of way to such lakes.
When any lake is drained it shall
remain the property of the state and
not be sold to private parties.
Permits for persons keeping private
herds of wild animals or birds.
A closed season for rabbits from
about March 1 to Sept. 1 and forbid
ding catching rabbits with ferrets.
Fish and game commission to have
authority to prosecute any one carry
ing hunters license for any damage
he may do to persons or property
while hunting.
Making it misdemeanor to have
possession anywhere any illegal trap.
net, seine or other such device. All
condemned property to be sold and
proceeds to go into the game fund.
Right Of search Of any launch. game
bag, coat pockets, ETC., for illegal game.
Repeal law which permits spearing
carp and buffalo because Of impos-
sibility of enforcement.
Law that no pike. pickerel or bass
less than twelve inches long be taken,
silver bass eight inches and sunfish
six inches.
The bag limit for pike, pickerel.
black bass or catfish be reduced to
twelve for each or all kinds ir one day,
and double bag limit for possession
at one time.
Open season for prairie chicken from
Sept Is to Jan. 1 only
Mr.. Hinshaw believes in going slow
in the matter of radical legislation,
that the greatest trouble always has
been enforcement and that nothing
very startling is needed now.

YOUNG MITCHELL MAN DIES
WHEN GUN is DISCHARGED

Mitchell. s.. D., April 12.-George w.
| Winsor. son Of F. H. Winsor, lawyer
and city alderman, is dead as the re-
suit Of an accident which occurred here
shortly after 8 o'clock yesterday after
noon. He had gone into the basement
of the nome of his brotherinlaw, DR..
G. G. Kimball. a few rods distant from
his own home, to borrow some garden
tolls. A shot was heard and his sister
and the maid. running below, found the
young man expiring or the floor with
a bullet hole through his heart. The
revolver found near the body belonged
to DR.. Kimbali and had been hanging
in a holster on the wall.
1t is believed that Winsor was
handling the gun and that it became
accidentally discharged. Winsor, who
was % years of age, was one Of the
most popular young men of the city
and had many friends all over the
state. He had entered the University
of Wisconsin early In the year for the
study of law, but had been forced to
return home recently on account of i'll
health.

ARTESIAN WELL NEAR
MILLER is ACCURATE
WEATHER" FORECASTER
Discoverer of Trait Acquired
Reputation as Prophet
Strong Oil Traces.

Miller, S. D.. April 14.-An artesiar
well on the George Marsh farm. a mile
south of this town. attracts consider
able attention on account of its freakish
habits. One Of it's traits is to act I'm
the capacity of a weather barometer.
JUS before a rain or storm the water
from the well changes in color to a
dark gray or milky appearance. hang
ing back again to its natural color be
Tore the storm ceases or about the
time the Weather clears.
This has been n of the wells freaks
ever since it was bored, some two
years ago. John Coke, who first
noticed 1t, became quite a weather
prophet by following the wells fore
casts. He would come to town and tell
his friends what was going to happen
In weather. He would always hit the
mark. He did not tell anyone until
recently that 1T was the artesian we'll
that was his weather guide.
Another freak of the well is to throw
out considerable oil that seems to leave
settings on the bottom of the tank
where it empties. This well seems to
have stronger oil bearing features than
other wells in the central part Of the
state. Oil ~prospectors are now talking
of boring a well west of here in search
of oil, but IL 1t exists anywhere In
South Dakota it would seem to be near
the freak well on the Marsh place.
