Spencer Fullerton Baird, the> 1lrst
commissioner Of fish and fisheries and
the one who was responsible for the
beginning of the Bureau Of Fisheries,
was, seemingly, very quiet but kindly
man, rather portly and with slow
movement, at least In his later days.
He wore O full beard, with shaved
upper lip. He was q very successful
administrator, both as the commits
sioner Of fisheries and as secretary Of
the Smithsonian Institution. the posi-
ton he succeeded to upon the death
Of Joseph Henry, in 1878. He was .
decided diplomat and frequently found
1t convenient during the Summer
months to take members Of Congress
to Woods Hole, Mass. or to other
Northern stations in the steamers Al
batross or Fish Hawk and to Southern
waters during the Winter season.
But, after all, maybe these were
only educational" trips. At any
rate, the kindly professor never failed
to get whatever he wanted from Con-
gress, among which was an appropria-
ton to erect the old National Museum,
now known as the Arts and Industries
Building, and the legislative branch
of the Government even recognized
his public services after his death with
an appropriation Of s25,ooo for his
widow, in view of the fact that he
had worked for the Government with
out salary from 1871 to 1887 and for
q part of this time even gave q part
of his home, rent free. for the work
intrusted to him.

yesterday In q fine Of 5000 and a jail

to three counts Of liquor law VIOLA

Walter on probation for three
years.
Walter was the owner Of q Chesh-

ICRO ROSSING TO BE
|OPENED SHORTLY

Lamberton - The long drawn
out litigation between the village
and the railroad company has ap-
parently come to an end at Lam
berton. A crew of men has about
completed work on the new cross
ing near the depot--a direct cross
ing from main street to highway
Ia.
The fight to have the crossing
installed was instigated at the
suggestion of the commercial Grub
more than three years ago. At a
hearing the railroad and ware
house commission approved the
plan. The railroad company ap-
pealed with results in two trials
being favorable to the village. The
railroad then appealed to the
state supreme court where the de-
cision of the district court was
upheld. Some grading and an ap-
proach from the highway will
have to be done before the road
is opened. Julian E.. Morten of
Redwood Falls was the attorney
for the village.

Caretaker Kills Self

Springfeld-Shooting himself in
the chest with a shotgun, George
Leopold, 70, caretaker of the
Springfield city park, took his own
life. The shooting occurred in
the park, but there were no wit

the shot, hurried to the scene and

Leopold, formerly section
worker on the railroad, had been
pensioned and was not believed to
be in any financial difficulties.
Dependency at doctors order that
he should not continue active work
because of his heart condition was
given as the probable reason for
the suicide. Brown county sheriff
