 Turtle Is Caught
 A turtle which bore the inscription "C. W-1S90" was found on the Stevens farm in kensngton recently by Reginald Stevens. It was later dis covered that the initials on the turtle were those of Claude w. Stevens, the boys father.
 Upon investigation if was learned that MT. Stevens had found the turtle aver 30 years ago and carved his ini7 tials and the year on tt> hard shell. The turtle was then released in the Lack yard from the old farm house.
 A coincidence of the finding of the turtle by the son was the fact that the turtle was caught within one quarter of mile from where it was by the father in 1S90 The turtle has evidently been living on the farm during this long length of time.
 Reginald carved his initials and the year 1922 on the back of the shell near his fathers initials and again him with the hopes that it will be found again in later years
