BOAT CAPSIZED
Two Railroad Men Hav$ Narrow
Escape From Drowning in
Okabena Sunday
Frank Doiiladson and Ole Mars ton,
•two conductors on the Omaha line,
had a narrow escape from drowning'
in Okabena Sunday afternoon* They
rented a boat from W. I. Carpenter
with the internum of crossing, the
lake to Ludlow's park, where their
•wives were to join them in a picnic
•dinner. The lake was very rough
Sunday, owing to the high wind, and
when they leached the middle they
lost pontrbl tt the boat and it, cap
sized.* A number of people had been
watching them from Carpenters pier,
and as, soon as the mishap was dis
covered Mr. Carpenter got out Fred
Tripp's launch and went to their
rescue/ W hen Mr1.Carpenter reached
them they were both pretty well
fagged out, especially Mr. Donaldson
who had done the rowing. They
•clung to the boat as be9t they could
but owing to the high sea, this was
no, easy task. Mr. Donaldson slipped
off once and only regained a place of
safety by catching hold of his part
ner?s leg. ,. •*-«..,
The valise containing the supplies
for the picnic went to the bottom, and
the outing had tQ be, declared off for
the day. This is the first accident
on the lake this season, and but for
the watchfulness and prompt action
of Mr. Carpenter it would undoubted
ly have'had a different ending.

of Register of Deeds and Mrs. H. R.
Tripp, was operated on at the Worth
ington Hobpital early Tuesday morn
ing for intuss usseption, or telescope
ing of the bowels, by Drs. Manson,
Geyerman and Dolan. The opera
tion was a splendih success and the
little patient is getting along nieely.
Dr. Manson was called to attend
the little girl on Monday and found
what he supposed to be a simple case
of stomach ache, but it persistently
refused to yield to treatment so an
operation was decided on late Mon
day night. Thfe case was one in
which delay was dangjsrbus, and had
the operation been' put off a few
hours it would have been ineffective
and death would have resulted.

The state fair grounds during the
evenings of fair week will most
beautifully illuminated. An elec

installed 'and every part of the
grounds will be lighted while the
buildings will' not only be as light
ais day inside but oh the ftutside
will be decorated with inq^ndescent
lamps which will show the outlines
of the larger structures in lines of
fire. The effect will be the same as
was securd at the world's fairs of
St. Louis. Chicago and Buffalo,
where the beautiful architecture of
the buildings were outlined at night
by thousands of elecfric lights.
The magnificent illumination at the

Hunting Licenses
The
law
relative to licensing buot-
ers remains* he same in effect as it
was previous to the recent session^of
the legislature, though somewhat
different in wording. No license is
required for a hunter to shoot small
game in the county in which be re"
sides but if .he desires to hunt out
side his own county he must procure
a license, costing him $1 from bis
county auditor. The license permits
a hunter to sjioot all kinds of game,
in season, and confers shipping privi
leges.
The funds derived from the sale of
lioenses go into the game and fish
commission's general fund to be used
for protection and propagation of
game and fish. The funds available
for protection of game are limited and
all who enjoy hunting should realize
that when they purchase a license
they are contributing their mite to
the work of game protection for their
own benefit and the benefit of their
children.
It is reasonable that the man who
hunts should contribute in some mea
sure lo this work and,everyjnan who
cheerfully and gladly
Game wardens are of bourse in
structed to enforce the license pro*
visions of the law strictly, the same
as other provisions.
Hunting licenses for residents of
the state are obtained of the several
county auditors and will be in their
hands about Aug. 15th.
The shooting season commences,
on certain classes of game, Sept. 1st,
and |the license is good for the en
tire season and all classes of game
anywhere in the state.
Only one license can be issued to
any one person and is not transfer
able. It is also the duty of every
hunter to exhibit his license to any
person on request. The license is of
the coupon variety and has tegs at
tached to be used in shipment of
game by the hunter to his place of
residence.
Bids for Bonds Solicited.
Sealed bids on bonds to the
amount of $1,850.00 will be re
