ment Fleet Inc His Cries
Brought Timely
Assistance.

Charles Schultz, Waterman on the
government fleet, woke up early Sum
day morning, and put his hand out OF
bed. and into the icy water OF the
forebay. He found his bed about TO
float off in the flood of water which
was rushing through the boat house
IN which he and his wife have their
quarters. He called to his wife. and
their cries for help were needed by
the other Waterman OF the fleet, who
came to their assistance.
The Schultz house boat had sunk
so far beneath the wave that it was
necessary 10 secure aid to get both
Mr.. and Mrs. Schultz out of thei-
boat and on to the other boat. They
were rescued however. and were not
Injured outside OF cold and exposure.
The accident happened about 200
o'clock Sunday morning, and so far
no cause for the sinking of the boat
ian be ascertain ed. The craft has
been raised, but has not been put OH

repairs. The Schultz boat was quar-
tered in the foTebay along with the
other boats of the government fleet,
and the water at the point where 1t
Is moored is of considerable depth.

taste and convenience and was one
OF the finest in the little fleet.

Fish stories and snake stories have
always been taken with a grain OF
salt, especially fish stories. There
are many followers Of the sport of
Isaac Walton in keokuk and some
pretty tall stories have been tod
at times concerning big catches, the
ones that got away. etc.
And now a local fisherman has run
across the following set of rules cali
ed a Certificate Of Veracity,' which
it is said every member Of the Chi
cago Fishermanis club had to swear
to at the recent annual dinner. This
local man is OF the opinion that all
Keokuk fishermen should take the
oath, which follows:
Do 70 soiemniy Swear
That you will tell the truth, the
the truth?
That you will not, by so much as
an inch, understate the length Of d
fish you have caught?
That, no matter how long you may
lie in wait for a trout, you will not
lie IN weight about it? ,.
That You will not carry your bait
in anything breakable, and thereby
poison the fish?
That, if you are fly caster, you will
not be always telling other people
how fly you are?
That you will not be always hold
ing, memorial meetings in honor Of
the big one that got away?
That you will never, never have
your photograph taken with a string
of ia bass marked One days
catch?"
That, as % hope to escape the
fire hereafter, you will not fail to put
out your camp fire here?
That. if you buy fish, you viii
never reveal the fact, lesat it bring
shame to the man who sold it?
That you will not use dynamite
under any circumstances. and pro
family only in a pinch?
That you will remember that all
men are liars, escept the members OF
this club?
That, if you cannot always tell the
truth, you will at least try to be con,
sentative?

MCCARTHY Is AGAINST
TAX DEDUCTIONS

Senate Bill So, introduced a few
days ago by Senator r. w. Shingie
and providing that estimated deprect-
alton may be deducted from income
taxes before they are paid into the
territorial treasury, is slated for some
decided opposition very shortly.
Treasurer Charles j.. Mccarthy
placed himself on record last night
against the measure in meeting OF
the senate ways and means commit.
tee, and asked to be heard officially
when the bill is taken up for consider.
alton. -. IT,.
Senator Shingle, it is understood,
introduced the bill upon request and
is not necessarily in favor of it. Judge
w. L. Whitney is said to have drawn
up the measure. ~. 49,.
According to the belief Of Treasurer
Mccarthy such law would result in
a legion of legal suits as to the proper
amount to be deducted from profits
before the income is estimated.
In matters of actual expenditures for
replacements this could be computed,
he believes, bat not on theoretical
estimates. :. ..-. -. .-
