LETTER FROM ENGLAND
TELLS OF AERIAL BOMBS.

Mrs. Joseph Walker Of this city, re-
Gently received letter from her niece
who resides at Croydon in Wales. Re
ferring to the recent bombing by the
German aviators, the writer says:-
I'VE have just had the bombs all
over London and the (here several
lines probably referring to casual
ties, are deleted by the censor) speak
ing has suffered terribly. They come
in broad daylight and they are up so
high that our men can't see them un-
til they start dropping bombs. 1t is
awful. They say London is in a dread
full state now They are aeroplanes
and they seem worse man the Zeppe-
Inns. Well | will write more next
time. We are feeling rather upset af-
ter the raid as the loss of life is ap-
pal1ing"
The whole indicates the suffering
undergone by innocent English civil
ians at the hands of Germany. Eng
land refuses to retaliate in this kind
OF savage warfare.

WILD GAME PLENTIFUL
IN WYOMING COUNTRY.

This is about the Wyoming region
in Iowa county bordering on the Wis
consin river, and not the state of Wy
oming. T. Emery Bray, Grant county
superintendent, was in that vicinity
last week calling on old friends. Wy
oming township is densely wooded
and not thickly settled. Mr.. Bray says
that during the evening the bark of
gray foxes and the howl Of timber
wolves could be heard from the farm
house porch. One farmer over there
named Ellington, recently saw buck
and doe deer in his corn. He at first
thought Of shooting them but remem-
bered the penalty and let them Craze.
Ellington, who has lived there all his
life, says that wild game is more plen-
tiful in Wyoming township now than
ever. Wyoming postoffico lies II miles
north of Dodgeville, and the topog-
raphy greatly resembles the New York
Catskill mountains 1t is a pleasant
motor trip.

LANCASTER WON ONE
GAME AND LOST ONE.

The Lancaster city team played two
games at Prairie du Chen last week.
The first game, on Tuesday, was with
P. D. c. and the locals picked the hon
Ors with a score of 4 to 3. Blackburn
pitched and Wisco caught. The game
was closely fought On Wednesday
the locals played that fast city team,
the Dubuque White Sox. Many Lam
caster people were in attendance and
people who seemed to want our side
to win. Auel pitched the second game
and his mound work was masterful.
In fact it was so good that the Du-
buQue team wanted to sign him af-
ter the game. Had his support been
anywhere near what it should have
been Lancaster would have won. AS
it was Dubuque went through our cen
ter and a trio of errors gave them
the lead in the third inning. Even
then Auel kept striking out man af-
ter man.
The final count gave Dubuque
and Lancaster 2. Dubuques center
made some wonderful catches cheat
ing Lancaster out of several two and
three baggers. In general the game
was good but trife disappointing to
the home folks. Lancaster, on the 9TH
er hand, has had practically no prac-
tice and has played together only a
few times.

QUEER PHEN0M ENA
TOBE KNOX OF MT, IDA, POSSES
SEES A WELL THAT BLOWS
CAUSES SOME TROUBLE TOO

THE HERALD is indebted to r. NJ.
Dixon, the travelling medicine and
grocery man, for an interesting story
Of a unique we'll The we'll is located
on the farm of lobe Knox who lives
west OF Fennimore and east of the
Gap. The we'll goes down 400 feet.
When drilling it subterranean pass
age was pierced at the depth of $50
feet and when the we'll was completed
"a strong current Of air flowed up
alongside the pipe. The indications
are that the passage has a general
north and south direction with open
ing to terra frma on the respective
sides some distance away This is
proven by the fact that in the dead of
winter with heavy snow on the pump
platform and the thermometer at 80
below, the snow will melt away from
the air current when a south wilma
blows up. Ii in the same kind of
weather, the wind comes from the
north, TIE pump will freeze for many
feet down. It has frozen down as far
as 80 feet. Mr.. Dixon says that the
noise of the we'll can be heard for 200
feet distant and the air is. forced
through the cracks in the pump stand.
All search for the openings in an
effort to close them up has been fruit
less. Mr.. Knox's home is at the apex
OF the divide, the water draining from
the north roof running into the Wis
he I,
into the Mississippi; and it is presum-
ed the openings are long distances
from the Knox farm.

WISCONSIN CHICKEN RECORD.

the average every day. One day they
beat their own record by laying 768
eggs. The Hooking farm is located on

fore, with the result that Niles, play
ing with perfect judgment into mid
court. was again catching Williams out
of position. He took the last two
games and the third set at ca, but
even then the crowd was certain that
Dick would be crowned the victor in
the end. A seven-minute rest followed.
The fourth and last set was ushered
in by a strictly unneutral shower. Lit
tie drops of rain trickled from Will
iams's hair, and Niles had to stop out
many times to do little window clean
ing on his eyeglasses. The "Noble Six
Hundred" in the stand shivered and
wondered when the rain would stop.
Piles Up Big Lead
Niles ran into a lead of Al on
games so quickly that the spectators
hardly realized how dangerously close
Williams was to the brink of defeat.
Both men were playing at top speed.
The champions shots were swinging
wild again. and Niles was sending a
perfect hail of placement aces through
his opponents court. The end was
near. In the fifth game, with Niles
serving and the score 1870, the deluge
came, and the struggle ceased for half
an hour.
Men with Turkish towels rushed out
and mopped up the turf tenderly, and
the match was continued on Court No.

took the sixth and led at 40 on the
seventh, only to lose it on series of
errors. The champion won the eighth

match. The last point was scored when
Williams drove his return of service
