Madison, Wisconsin on Wednesday to
argue the Healy case before the Cir

accident and succeeded in obtaining
an allowance of $4,000 under the In
dustrial Accident laws of that state.

time of his death appealed the case
to the Circuit Court. Judge Ander-
son expects to be home on Saturday.

Two Carrier pigeons stopped at
Paw Paw this week, and no one
knows from whence they came, or
whittier they were bound. One stop
ped at the home of Elmer Owen
north of town last Sunday night, and
evidently thought it had reached the
end of its journey. On one leg was
metal band, inscribed 49, U. S. No.
S44. On the other leg was a rubber
band, evidently used to fasten
message, but there was no message
when the bird was found. The other
pigeon stopped on the ledge of win
dow of the Masonic Lodge rooms last
Tuesday evening. The Eastern Star
was in session and the bird was
picked up and cared for by some of
the ladies. This one had metal
ring on each leg, one reading S. B.
H. C. 1916, and the other No. 958.
Both birds are undoubtedly from
some army camp, and an effort is
being made to ascertain where they
belong.
