More Particulars of Death of Will
IIedgerWOOd.

The following from the Winterset
News Of last week gives some addi-
tional particulars of the death OF
VIII LedgerWood, former resident
Of Leon, who was found frozen to
death at Zenia, Oregon, on Dec. II:
William Ledgerwood, formerly of
Leon, a well known Iowa travelling
salesman whose daughter, Florence,
graduated from the Winterset high
school few years ago, was found
December II, frozen to death in the
snow at Zenia, Oregon. Ledgerwood
had been dead for three days.
A few years ago Mr.. LedgerWood's
health failed him and he went to
Klamath Falls, Oregon, where his
daughter who had married resided.
He took up a claim at Zenia far in
the mountains. On December IA he
started for klamath Falls. A great
blizzard came up and searching
party, starting out three days after
ward found LedgerwoOd dead. A
note directed to the Iowa State
Travelling Mems Association was
found on the body
Il believe this is December IA.
Fell down cliff $50 feet. Caught on
bushes, have come miles. Am per-
ishing in the snow Pay insurance
to my daughter, Florence.
William Ledgerwood.
The note was feebly written but
the signature was clear and bold as
if Ledgerwood had taken a grip on
himself to sign it, The claim for the
insurance and the proof was forward
ed to Attorney w. S. Cooper OF this
city for collection. Florence Ledger
wood is a neice of Mrs. S. j. Vain
wright and lived with her here a
number of years. Mr.. Ledgerwood's
numerous visits to the city then to
see-his daughter made him many ac-
quajntances in the city.

AS TO SPRING SHOOTING.
Publication of the Department OF Ag-
riculture on Subject.

The weekly news letter of the de-
partment of agriculture says:
From the number of letters which
| they have received on the subject re-
Gently, officials Of the department be-.
lieve that sportsmen may uninten-
tionally violate the provisions OF the
federal migratory bird law, which it
is the purpose of the government to
enforce rigidly. Under the provisions
Of this law no waterfowl can be shot
in the northern or breeding zone af-
ter January Is, except in New Jer-
Sey, where the season extends to
February /. In most of the southern
or Wintering zones the season closes
| February !, but extends to February
Is in Florida, Georgia and South
Carolina. These regulations were pro-
| claimed on October /, 1914. No
change has since been made in them,
and no change is likely to be made
until the constitutionality of the law
has been passed on by the United
States supremer court. AS matter
of fact, the law provides that all
changes in the regulations must be
considered for a period of 80 days,
and then must be approved and sign
ed by the president before they be-
come effective. 1t is thus evident
that there is no possibility that the
spring shooting will be in any way
modified this year.
The officials of the department
who are intrusted with the enforce
ment of this law are anxious that
! these facts be impressed upon the
people because it is the intention to
investigate carefully all reports Of
violations made to the departments
inspectors and wardens and to prose-
cute all such violations in the feder-
al courts. In this connection it is
pointed out that prosecutions may be
instituted at any time within three
years of the offense.
