MR.. AND MRS. CROSSBELL AND NUMEROUS OF THEIR
RELATIVES COME TO TOW ON FORAGINC EXPEDITION
AND MAY REMAIN HERE MOST OF THE PRESENT WINTER

Mr. and Mrs. Crossbill and num-
Der of relatives have come to town
and may remain for the winter, espec-
tally if the foregoing is good. The
high brow name of these folks is Lox-
ia Leucoptera and their next door
neighbors in the bird world are Lox-
ia Curvirostra minor. The former
species is known as the white wing
ed crossbill and the latter the Ameri-
can crOssbill.
For several days Mrs. A. r. Reiner,
a Baraboo bird observer and enthus-
last, has noticed flock of the White
winged crossbills in the cemetery and
northern part Of the city. The
is rosy and the female has a yelIowish
east, their wings being partly white
The white-winged is more rowing than
other species and even more eccentric
They are not so common and usually

with the Americans While they may
be in Baraboo this season they may
go away and not return for several
winters, no satisfactory explanation
being given ur less it is the food
supply.
They feed upon the seeds of pine
cones, prying the cones open with
their peculiar bills.
TIL birds have a low twittering call
and short flute like whistle. They
nest in coniferous trees in the north
ern part Of the northern states and
northward, wintering in the north
ern half Of the United States.
If you desire to become acquainted
with these birds with queer bills yor
may find them in the pine trees in
the northern part Of the city. They
are not timid and scrape acquaintance
easily. Several persons have seen
them, Mrs. May Thayer another bird
enthusiast, reporting this being her
first opportunity to observe.

Piano in Sank County
in Pioneer Times
The Late Mrs Emma Williams Tells of instrument That Was
at Sank and Baraboo in the Early Days

with them and took lessons OF Miss
Rachael. The piano was well packed
with comfortables and brought from
Sank City to Baraboo. The road then
was very different from the delight
full drive of today-a narrow road cut
through the woods as rough as stones
and ruts could make it, too narrow
in many places for teams to pass each
other.
This piano was safely transported
back and forth and for many years
it was the only piano in Sank. One
was brought there a short time before
my mother moved to Sank but the
family that had it only stayed short
time, then moved away taking their
piano with them. So for many years
my mothers piano was the only one
we knew of in Sauk-it was certain
ly the first in Baraboo.
There were many fine musicians in
those early days, particularly among
the Germans, and they often came
to our house for the pleasure OF play
ing on the piano. 1t was not unusual
to lend it for a social evening and |
think it was never injured by moving.
Miss Racheal was afterwards Mrs.
Cap. Crum of Madison and well
known in musical circles.
