larly called by the English-have been
going the rounds of the foreign and the
American newspapers since the out
break Of the war in Europe. Some are

lawn handkerchief. upon which, in
compliance with fashionable fancy of

Eined For kiIlina Deer.

Perry, Jan. 14-BOb Lincoln, a man
who lives short distance north of
Woodward, was arrested a few days
ago by deputy game warden and aft
ter being given hearing before jus
tice Of the peace at Madrid. was fined
$25 and costs for killing a deer across
the river in Boone county. His act at
tracted considerable attention in the
vicinity, SO much so that the state Of
hcers took the matter up and sent q
representative to the vicinity.
The deer was one of the two seen in
the vicinity of Madrid several weeks
ago. Where they came from nobody
seems to know, but 1t is presumed they
belonged to the herd which has been
increasing so rapidly in the vicinity
Of Avoca and other western Iowa
towns.
Lincoln's identity became known
when his wife invited some Of her rela-
tives over to the house to eat deer met.
The mate Of the animal killed is still
in the vicinity Of Madrid.

matters of local Importance were
up for consideration, among them
the chautsuqua, further aid TO

that greater interest is not mani
tested in the work undertaken
by this organization. BY this we
do not mean that our non-mem-

helping. They are doing splen.
didly by the League in financial
and other assistance. But we re-
