Speaking of walking, J. F. Kartack
says he once took tramp-trip from
Baraboo to Des Moines, Iowa. There
were three in the company besides
Mr. Kartack, Mr.. Worthner, a clerk
in Baraboo; his brother, a teacher in
North Freedom; and Mr. Egerer, : a
brother of Mrs. Messenger. They had
a pack pony, slept in the open and oc-
casionally made twenty-five miles a,
day. It required two weeks and two
Idays to cover the distance. Often
when night came they were so tireu
they lay down without erecting the
tent and sometimes had to get UP to
protect themselves from storm. The
trip was made in the 70's and there,
were plenty of wild pigeons in those
days, these furnishing some of their
food. They crossed the Wisconsin at
Sank City and the Mississippi at
Dubuque 1t was a journey much as
Robert Louis Stevenson has written
about when he went down a river val
ley in Europe with donkey to carry
his baggage.

a pigeon hawk yesterday while hunt

Lisbon states that the birds wing was
broken by the shot but Infatuated
when he reached the ground, made
a leap for his captor and tried to take
possession of him alive. The hawk
gripped the young man in the arm and
it took considerable forcible persua-

Mr.. Lisbon brought the bird to town
this morning where he gave it to the
Dipple Bros, local dentists, who will
have it mounted. The hawk is one of
the smaller variety that attacks small
chickens and pigeons.
