fion, the 9th cavalrymen's stickwork
was opportune and accurate. Fort

feating the Wichita Falls civilians in
a hard fought game.

Capt Horger of Fort Clark stood out
in Sundays game. Each accounted for
four goals. 1t. Thorpe obtained one.

suffering experienced by natures in
habitants without losing life itself.
Among the many records that
come to the attention of the Nat
ional Headquarters of the Izaak
Walton League of America is found
an exceptional occurrence relative
to the vitality of Canadian goose.
The following episode came to light
many years ago and was enacted
by farmer named H. N. Clement,
living near Lowell, Indiana.
This gentleman was cunning in
the once famous waterfowl shoot
ing grounds of the Kankakee
marsh and came upon a flock of
geese. He succeeded in bagging
several nice birds, one of which as
tonished him by having as a breast
pin an arrow nine inches long.
That goose became the wonder of
the neighborhood and the study of
the scientists, the only conclusion
reached being that wherever the
wild bird came from, there he got
the arrow, so unique in formation
that it could be assig ned to no tribe
of Indians in the United States or
any other known cou ntry. Finally
