slave to drugs, and without them, he
suffers the most severe pain. In a
stated that he first became addicted
to the use of drugs following the
breaking Of one of his legs. The drug
was taken to quiet the pain, and he
gradually got into the habit. He had
been trying to get into the st. Peter
State Hospital for treatment for the
cure of the habit, but failed to get
permission to go there.
Gvens stated that he would volun-
tarily go to Jail without sentence, as
far as that went, if he would be treat
ed for the cure. 1t was with that OBJ
ject in view that Judge Goff sentenced
the defendant to three months in the
county Jail.

Hawk Tagged In Lake
ToUn Is Shot In Lowa
Melvin Biehn Caught Bird,
Marked 1t, Turned The
Flyer Adrift

Madison Lake, December 10.-The
Times says: On October s this year
Melvin Biehn, son of p. L. Biehn, set
traps to catch hawks that were eat
ing chickens from their place. In one
of the traps he caught a chicken
hawk. More as an experiment than
tnything else he tagged the bird with
his name and address and let the
bird sail away.
Last week he received a letter
from S. A. Swanson of ChiIlicothe,
Iowa, living near the southern boun-
Diary of that state, saying that the
bird had just been shot and the ad-
dress found.
Desiring to know under just what
circumstances the bird had been
caught and tagged, they had written
to Mr.. Biehn.
The letter relates that one day
while Mr.. Swanson was out husking
corn, November 20, he shot at a hawk
the bird, but finally brought him
down. On inspecting the bird, he
came upon the tag.
The people of that community
were anxious to know just how the
bird had been caught and tagged.
Failing to locate Madison Lake on
their map, they wrote to the address
for particulars.
Mr.. Biehn will write them a letter
and a copy of this paper is to be
mailed to Mr.. Swanson, as the resi-
dents ofthat portion of Iowa are anx-
ious to hear about "As straight as
the hawk flies"
This story is of interest as very
few birds so tagged would be brought
down with the name and address yet
intact. It's an occurrence that hap
pens very seldom
