LANDS MONSTER TROUT.

What was probably the largest trout
caught in Grant county was the one
landed Memorial Day morning by G..
G. Bettcher down on Big Green near
French's place. The speckled beauty
measured "A inches in length and
when caught weighed lbs. and or.
Can you imagine such monster
trout? 1t seems hard to realize. A
photograph was taken by Blessing
Bros. and is ample evidence for any
who might question this real fish
story.
On learning a large trout was in
the locality, George determined to
land him. Using his home made pole
and no leader, George went about the
business but the trout paid no atten-
ton to worms, flies or other fancy
Dalt. But the willy fisherman despair
ed not. Instead he caught a couple
OF tadpoles or polly wogs, attached
them to the hook and carefully dropp-
ed his line in the water. 1t had hard
ly struck the water when bing-the
big fellow hit the line. And then the
fun began. 1t was a battle royal for
about fifteen minutes before the ex-
pert angler had his majesty conquer
ed and safely landed.
1t is really uncanny the skill Mr..
Bettcher displays in Turing fish, es-
pecially trout, to fasten themselves
to his hook. He studies their habits,
learns their ways as it were, and uses
the cunning of an Indian in bringing
the fish ashore. He is the king pin
and champion fisherman of Grant
county and so acknowledged by all.
Where Bettcher can't get them there
are no fish.
The writer can personally vouch
for the truth of the above. We had
the pleasure to see the big trout.

COUNTY BARN COMMITTEE
IN PERPLEXING DILEMA.

The special committee of the county
board named at the annual meeting
of that body last November to carry
out plans for a new modern barn at
the county home is in a dilema. A
the county home is in q dilemma. A
mer of Platteville, member of the
committee, completed plans and speci-
fications according to wishes, and bids
were duly advertised for. Last Tues
day these bids were opened and con-
sidered. There were a score of prop
ositions presented, some for a COM
plete job, while others were for por-
lions of the work only. The lowest
bid for the barn complete was $4,000,
and this was reduced to $4,000 by
combining proposals together in the
manner Of elimination. But here the
committee struck snag. The total
appropriation made by the county
board last fall for this purpose was
$4,000. Six thousand dollars would
not go very far toward building
SIT 900 barn-might pay for the ex-
cavation. Thus the committee dropp-
ed the task right there and will wait
further developments The matter
will now be at standstill until fu-
ture meeting of the county board,
when the question will undoubtedly
be brought up for re-consideration-

BATTLE IN AIR WITH HAWKS.

VIM. MCGOWAN had quite an in
teresting experience with a family of
chicken hawks on his farm last week
says the Bellevue, Iowa, Herald. He
located a nest of them in a tall tree
in his timber and with a good deal
OF effort managed to reach the nest
and killed the young hawks after a
fight with the old birds.
After descending the tree he bait
ed and set trap hoping to catch one
or both of the old hawks. When he
returned to the trap next day he
found one of the birds in it and
strewn about it were several dead
quail, chickens and bones, brought to
the captured hawk by its mate. who
had approached near enough to the
trap to deposit them close enough
for the victim to reach them.
This incident proves plainly that
one of the GREATEST destroyers of our
quail is the hawk and that they
should be killed whenever possible.

P. d. C. OFFICIALS "SKEERED."

A carnival was staged in Prairie du
Chen last week with the customary
exciting times. On Tuesday evening
a Lancaster man was sitting in the
Rosencrans hotel when citizen rush
ed to the telephone and shouted, "Turn
on the red light quick; there's three
fellows being beat up on the street.
1t seems that the telephone oper-
ators turn a switch that throws a red
light into being on the main streets
whenever trouble appears. The red
light went on and the Lancaster man
followed.
Three citizens were badly cut by a
combination of booze and brass
knucks. Their faces were laid open
by deep gashes clear to the bone.
The crowd went to the carnival
grounds where the offender, an en-
ploye, was. He being located shout
ed, Here I am you cock-eyed - Of
. Come on and get mel" The
officials cautioned the carnival man
to be careful of his talk but made no
arrests. Later three bruisers from
the carnival crowd went down town.
The Lancaster man followed the
crowd back to his hotel thinking that
the P. D. G. officers were easily
Hskeered."

MUSCODA CITIZENS HAVE
SERIOUS BUT COMIC SPILL.

Charley Schmidt and Pete Reynolds
of Muscoda vicinity, participated in a
little spill last Thursday evening that
they will long remember They de-
parted from this city late in the ev-
ening bound for Mt. Hope, but as the
roads in this part of the country are
unfamiliar to both they headed out
on the wrong highway, going out on
the Homer road When the turn in
the road near the Andrew Brown
farm was reached they drove their
car straight over the high embank-
ment, and before they realized their
mistake were making fancy aero
plane dive III the air. The car head
ed back for the hill after turning COM
pletely over.
Both narrowly escaped serious in
jury, if not instant death, and their
car, Chevrolet, shows signs of rath-
er rough treatment
The gentlemen came to town for
aid in pulling their car out of the
ditch. The comical part of the story
is that when they started for the
scene of the accident they couldn't re-
member which direction to head for,
and with Ever Olson searched the
surrounding country for several hours
for the location and finally gave up
until morning when the car was To-

QUEER BIRDS INHABIT
MARSH AT DARLINGTON.

Darlington-Fo the first time in the
history of this section, flock of
black-crowned night heron have TAX
en- up their nesting place in grove on
the banks of the Pecatonica river,
about five miles east of this city. There
are about sixty birds in the flock, and
the roosting place is daily viewed by
crowds of people. These birds are
a long way off their usual pathway,
which extends from southern Manito-
ba, along the Pacific coast, to South
America. They are about "A inches
long, and when flying in a flock dark
en- the space below them. They feed
upon fish, frogs and tadpoles. AS the
name implies, this heron is a bird of
the night, not leaving its roost until
dusk, when with frequent iteration of
it's hoarse squawk, it wings it's way
in the gathering gloom straight to its
feeding place. Their rude nests are
built of sticks and leaves, much like
that of a squirrels. The heron oc-
casionally feeds on field mice, but
greatly prefers fish life.
