Sheriff Berry sent out fifteen pris-

Difficulty is experienced in housing

Albion.-Getting reminiscent about
the cold winters, E. N. Parsons of AL
bion, ex-county treasurer, said recent
ly that he thinks that the one of 1912
was the hardest winter Michigan ever
had. He was only five years old then
but says he distinctly remembers the
'suffering of that year. He was one
Of six children and none of them had
boots or shoes. Asked as to how
they kept warm, he said they simply
stayed indoors. Deer were plentiful
then and the pioneers often made pets
of the fawns. One day while the chill
dren were in the house they saw a pet
fawn with a bell around its neck
come up to the house. In the excite
ment of the moment and at the pleas
ing prospect of having new pet the
children all rushed out doors in their
bare feet to capture the strange visit
or. The fawn, however, proved too
fleet of foot and lost himself in the
woods and was afterwards found by
the father in a group of deer when he
was hunting for meat for the family
That winter says Mr.. Parsons, the
cattle nearly starved to death. The
settlers cut down young trees and the
cattle managed to live by eating the
tops. Wolves were plentiful that win
ter and they were ravenous from hun
ger. They broke into the sheep pens
and killed the sheep and often would
tear down the pens to get at their
victims. Mr.. Parsons father finally
moved his sheep pens next to the
house and then at night when the
wolves came to attack the sheep,
members of the family would jump
from their beds, seize burning brands
from the fireplace and run outdoors,
brandishing the burning sticks of fire
and fright of this kind was usually
sufficient to keep them away for the
rest of the night. Mr.. Parsons par
ents lived about % miles east of
. Lansing when he had these thrilling
experiences.

BASEBALL BOYS
BACK IN DEFEAT
FROM fairbanks
Our Ball Team Returned Home
Defeated, But Not Disheartened;
Will Now Practice.

On the launch Eclipse, which
pulled into port this morning, our
baseball players returned to town,
firmly determined to put in a lot
of practice and give the Fairbanks
team an awful drubbing when they
come to Nenana for the series of
return games arranged for.
The facilities for practice were
denied our team by reason of the
recent floods and the fact that the
school grounds could not have been
gotten ready for this purpose any
earlier. The men had only one days
practice and the showing made in
the series played at the upper town
has demonstrated that we certainly
have good live team, who would
give a good account of themselves
with little more practice.
The team left Nenana on the
launch Sunflower, on the evening
of the goth and arrived in Fairbanks
at about 10 a. m. next day, having
practically spent a sleepless night
fighting mosquitoes all the way up.
The first game was called on the
evening of the 21st and resulted in
a score of 20 to z in favor of Fair
banks.
That the practice gained by the
boys in the first game was of much
value was demonstrated in the second
game of the series, which was played
next day, resulting in a score of
z to a in favor of Nenana.
The third game, played on Sunday
was holly contested, the score at the
end of the seventh inning standing
a to a. Our men were guilty Of a
few errors after the seventh inning
which gave the Fairbanks men the
advantage, the final score star,ling
to in their favor.
The Nenana boys have improved
much in form with the practice gain
ed in the series of games played
and are now more than ever pre-
pared to demonstrate their superior
ity over any team that may be
pitted against them.

STATE TAXES
LARGEST EVER
Amount Sent to the state Treasurer is
Twelve Thousand Dollars More
Than Ever RENTED
Before.

When Deputy Treasurer II. A. Skies
carried to Des Moines the tax money
Lee county collected for the state of
iowa the other day, the amount was
$4,000 more than was ever sent up
from this county.
The usual sum collected for the state
in Lee county is between $4,000 and
SIS 900, but this year the amount was
$4,000
This year the county tax in Lee
county was lower than usual and the
state tax was much higher.
The above figures are for only the
first half of the taxes collected in the
spring and nearly as much more
money will go to the state treasurer
next October The total for the year
will be about $4,000 which will be
over s25, 900 more than ever before in
one year from this county.
