Lloyd Golfer, son of DR.. G. F. Golfer
of Marinette, with the American am
bulance corps in France, has been cit
ed in general orders for extreme brav-
cry under fire at Verdun. He is re-
ported to have brought back from the
firing line nineteen wounded men,
travelling a half mile of the fighting
zone on foot. Kirk McNaughton of
Kaukauna, companion Of Golfer, re-
ceived a bullet through his steel he'll
met while aiding in bringing back the
wounded.
Denton Smith, game warden for
Marinette county, last week accom-
plished an important work for the
conservation of trout. With four 9TH
er men he blew out dam over the
Eagle river a tributary of the Thun-
der in the western part of the county.
With the dam in place the water was
backed up for over a mile and during
the summer months the water became
hot and stagnant, killing many of the
trout. The stream has now assumed
it's old bed, and this, it is believed, will
aid materially in the propagation of
the trout. The Wausaukee club was
one of the parties interested in the
change. 1t took two days and 200
pounds of dynamite to destroy the
dam. When the water was released it
carried out a bridge over the Eagle
below the dam. This bridge, it is said,
will be released by interested parties.
