RARE TYPE OF BIRD
HAS. HAVEN ON FARM

A sight that it would pay going
many miles to see can be had by visit
ing the farm of Charles Miller, on OF
ter Creek, three miles east of Darling
ton. It is colony of about one humid
red Black-Crowned Night Heron. 1t
is said that this is the only colony of
Night Heron within thousand miles,
or so in this section of the United
States. There are many nests in the
trees and the young are now Matching.
This is the fourth year that this colony
of birds have visited Darlington. They
come about April 10th, and last year
they stayed as late as November be-
fore migrating southwark. The grown
birds are about the size of our ordin-
airy barnyard duck, the color is black
head and back, green wings and legs
and breast a greenish white. The legs
are long and foot like a chicken.
The beak is about six inches in length
and sharply pointed. The bird book
describes them as follows: Bill
much heavier than that Of the herons;
neck and legs shorter and stOuter;
eyes red; bill black; legs and bare
space in front of eyes pale yellOWish
green Young birds are notified with
brownish gray and white. AS their
name implies these birds do most of
their feeding after dark, sleeping most
of the day A visit to their abode is
very interesting. On your approach
the old birds flop away and circle
about with sQuawks of disapproval and
the young commence a loud ticking
noise. The nests are platforms of
sticks, eggs pale bluishgreen. They
are supposed to breed in New Bruins
wick and Manitoba, and winter in the
Gulf States and southwark" Mr.. Mil
Ter is taking every precaution to pro-
tect the birds. Representatives of the
state university have already visited
the nesting place.-Darlingto Repub-

THURSDAY RAIN WREAKS
CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE.

The heavy rain of Thursday night
caused considerable damage in Bee
town village where the storm reach
ed its height at eight o'clock. The
macadam street through tn village
was ripped up by the waters that
came rushing down the hollow and
cellars in the village were flooded.
A buggy shed belonging to Jos.
Mayne sustained considerable dam
age.
At Glen Haven the storm was re-
ported to be the hardest in ten years
but not much damage resulted. Some
bridges across the run were washed
out The @. tracks were washed out
above and below the village but re-
pairs were made within couple of
hours.
The same storm caused consider
able damage at Prairie du Chen
where telephone and light poles were
blown down and trees overturned.
The Milwaukee road wires were down
and the Q. tracks were washed out at
several points on the line going
north. Lacrosse reported .98 inches
OF rain.
The storm in general is shown by
a report from Madison where 2.08
inches of water fell in four hours.
Nearly all OF this fell between $50

The storm did tremendous havoc to
corn on Grant bottom, washing out
and covering the new-sprouted corn.
Hundreds of acres were practically
spoiled unless the farmers replant.
The heavy rains all through last
week are attributed to the stationary
conditions prevailing, according to
the weather bureau. The warmth
during the day resulted in an over
turning at night with consequent fall
of rain.

persed for their homes.
In the afternoon a large audience
heard Rev. l.. Arhelger deliver a
splendid patriotic address.

trict attorney, and family, had a mar

EXPLOSION AT MINERAL POINT.

A dynamite explosion that shook the
city of Mineral Point and shattered
scores of windows completely wrecked
the Unstable Construction Co. early
Monday morning, causing loss OF
$11, 900 to $4,000. Machinery inside
the building was completely demol-
ished by the blast. No one was killed
or injured as far as can be deter
mined. The explosion was heard full
ly ten miles.
The cause of the accident is still
unknown although the mysterious
visits of a midnight prowler are be-
lieved to have direct connection with
the accident.
Some person, probably attempting
to steal gasoline stored in the room
with the dynamite, had been in the
building two or three times before ac-
cording to the Hustables. About 20
minutes before the explosion, which
occurred at 235 a. M, fire was seen
in the building. Shortly after, accord
ing to farmers, a Ford runabout with
lights extinguished and speeding in
the direction of Madison, was revealed
by the glare of the explosion. The car
had also been seen in the city short
time before.
1t is assumed the supposed thief in
some way ignited the gasoline. The
police are working on the case. The
Unstable company is the agent for tn
Du Pont Powder Co.

is THIS A CASE OF SHELL SHOCKl

Sheriff Dick Holmes went to Men
dota yesterday with one Edw. Herout,
27, an unknown wanderer picked up
near Fennimore and examined and
pronounced insane by Drs. Bailey and
Marsden. The young man was first
seen near Montfort and later around
Fennimore where he had been sleep
ing in school houses. He babbles in
cessantly and it is impossible to riv-
ct his attention. The examining phys
icians decided that the young man was
in need of hospital treatment and
surmised that he might be a victim
of shell shock as so many cases OF
mental arrangement in males OF this
age have proven to be.
