hated the extraordinary exper-
fences of the first part of voyage
for which he had left newspaper
work in San Francisco to ship on
an o1d-fashioned square rugged
sailing vessel, the wayfarer. for
the port of Ieith in Scotland.
Scarcely had Mr. Overton board

Overton received warning
from negro member of the crew
TO watch out for Brown, and espe-
cially while aloft, since the man
had sworn he was going to throw

Brown did make such an at
tempt when the two were on a
yardarm by striking Overton re-
peatedly with the full force of
his fists, and attempting to knock
him into the sea The young man,
however, managed to cling to the
yard until Brown, for fear of
observation from the deck, was
forced to desist. The incident
only intensified the latter's hatred.

McGREGOR FERRY BOAT
STILL MAKING TRIPS
How Winter Life Progresses Along
the Old Mississippi River.

McGREGOR, Ia, Dec. 27.-The fer
ry Rob Roy is still making regular
trips across the Mississippi between
McGregor and Prairie du Chen.
Captain George Freeman, who owns
and operates the Rob Roy, says it is
the first Christmas in the % years he
has been in the ferry business at Nc
GregOr that the river was still free of
ice and the ferry could run. The
records show that some IS years ago
boats were on the river Christmas
day. 1t is probable that that year
years since ferrying was inauguarat-
ed here 80 years ago that boats were
running the last of December.
Some wild ducks are still around
and one flock of wild geese. The lat
ter are keeping the hunters at bay in
a battling way. They go inland and
feed on the corn fields during the day,
and at night come back and stay on
the sand bars near the mouth of the
Wisconsin river. Hunters each day
find fresh tracks showing that they
had been there during the night. Some
Of the hunters who are keen for the
experience of a shot at these great
birds which weigh from ten to twenty
pounds, are staying out on the river
until moonlight, and hope to bag
some of them before the season closes
the first of January.
The Mississippi is the lowest it has
been in 46 years and as consequence
the bottom lands where grow the wild
rice and other feeds favored by the
mallards and others of the larger
species of ducks are almost dry of
water. AS ducks will not feed on
land, the rice eating kinds have been
hard pressed to find feed. The mall
lards have been scarce and those
which have been killed, the hunters
say, are little more than skin and
bones. The smaller species, on the
contrary, which live principally on
clans and fieshy foods in the water
have been more numerous than for
several years and those that the hunt
ers have brought down have been
plump and fine.

GREEN COUNTY FARMER
SHOOTS TIMBER WOLF

MONROE.-Fear that children on
their way to rural schols may be en-
dangered by timber wolves was ex-
pressed here by Melvin Bowman,
Adams township farmer, who brought
to the Office of County Clerk Maize "
Bowen the carcass of 38-pound wolf
that he shot after following it's tracke
four miles.
This is the first wolf bounty claim
ed here in years. Mr.. Bowman's
brother, Ole, first discovered the
tracks as he examined some traps
near stream.
The wolf appeared to be we'll fed
and for this reason many believe
there is no danger of others attacking
children. 1t measured SIS inches from
tail tip to tip of nose. No others have
been seen in Adams township and the
farmers report no molesting of stock.
Mr. Bowman will receive $50 from the
state.
