Tells Thrilling Story
Brother of Morris Man Shoots at
Two Germans in Road

If you should meet two unknown
men'in the road, could you deliberate
~ shoot them? Would you stop to
ponder the question whether or not
there was fond wife and mother
with her little ones swinging at the
gate waiting for the return of these
men. Even in wartime would you
do it, and how would you feel under
the circumstances?
A brother of a Morris man had
this experience few weeks ago in
northern France. He took a shot
at the men and missed. He says he
was excited. What thoughts were
fitting through his mind as he laid
his eye along that murderors carbine
one may never know. His companions
were watching him. Perhaps he was
excited. terhaps he deliberately
missed. No soldier emerging from a
similar experience ever tells.
The man who attempted to shoot
the men in German uniforms was
Bert Dawson, an English private who
is back in arms after short hospital
experience following wounds in the
field. He is brother of L. S. Daw.
sou, of this city. In a letter r ceived
by Mr.. Dawson last week, from Eng
land, his brother writes:

7th of October after an uneventful
journey across the channel, and COM

Wisconsin Hunters Are
Interested In Case Test
ing Migratory Laws

see why they should be prohibited from
doing what hunters in neighboring
states were allowed to do, and conse
quently many of them violated the law
But if federal regulation is upheld, the
task of protecting game will be made a
great deal easier than it now is.
The federal law fixes seasons for the
killing of various game birds which diff
fer from the acts of the states. So it
may happen that hunter kills GER
tain fowl lawfully under a state law,
but in violation of the federal act: A
statement sent out by the National
Association of Audubon societies sums
up the plant of the hunters in the ex-
preston that the hunters feel that when
they go into the fields they must have a
lawyer, an ornithologist, an almanac
and geography with them to be sure
they are not violating the law.

Corn In the Silo Is Like
Money in the
Bank.

Wisconsin is the greatest state for
silos in the union. This method of "can-
ing" corn and other rough feed for cat
tie has become necessity and the far
mers who have no silo are exerting
every effort to erect one. Some of
them have already put up the second
and third. Silos are built of lumber,
brick, cement, cement blocks and Vitri-
fed material. Corn in the silo is like
money in the bank-ready for use when
most needed. The accompanying map
shows that Sauk county is one of the
leading counties in silo building. The
cut is kindly loaned by A. w. Hopkins
agricultural editor at the College OF
Agriculture at Madison.

At Eau Claire They
Are After The Captain
Because He Married
There Is Some Doubt as to
Legality of Cere-
mOny.

The marriage of Capt. Otto FL. Kitz-
man, former superintendent of the Eau
Claire County Insane asylum, and Mrs.
Harry Hanson, divorcee of that city, at
St. Paul a few days ago promises an in
teresting legal tangle.
Capt. Kitzman is under a guardian
ship as an incompetent and spendthritt,
an order to this effect having been
issued by the court at EausClaire
several months ago on the application
of relatives. Frank Werner of that
city, brother-in-law, was made guar
dian.
Some days ago the captain applied
for marriage license but it was de-
MED on the ground that he was incom-
petent.
He and his prospective bride went
to st. Paul where they secured ID mar
riage license and were married.
The question is now raised as to
whether the marriage is illegal, having
been performed in another state. That
it would have been illegal if performed
in Wisconsin is said to be beyond doubt,
but it is claimed that, having been per-
formed in Minnesota, it is legal. 1t il
claimed legal steps will be taken to
have the marriage annHlled.
