According to ancient legend prevailing about, the Wild Irish neigh- , borhood, the appearance of this eagle portends the approach of an- , other war. Jim Hill's grandfather, a noted fighter, lived in Virginia. Just before the. war of 1812, a huge black eagle soared over their plantation. Il was killed by one of the Hill boys, and soon they marched away to fight. In 186 d the sons of the Virginia Hill, five in number, moved onto Jack's Fork creek in the Irish Wilderness country and here they have since remained. Tile Hills, Rooneys, Davis' and other- are their kith and kin. and :hese pioneers dominate the rural d'strictß in several Ozark counties They aie pioneers who hold to the many traditions, legends ami superstitions that come up with bill country people. The Hills are believers that the approach of a black eagle mean:, a war may be expected. Just before the Civil war issued its call to the mountain folk, a hugs slack eagle appeared in the Jack’s Fork region and was killed. Three of the Hills enlisted, and two lost their lives. The one who returned is th< ather of the young man who kill ed the eagl§ a few days ago. Again in 1898 before the call foi the Spanish war volunteers, and again in 1917 when the World war vpened. black eagles soared over the lonely Irish Wilderness and were slain by members of the Hill family. The Jack's Fork country in Texts county is settled by mountain sers from the hills of Tennessee. Kentucky and Virg nia. These peo pie held a relig'on and teachings ill their own. A tiip through th» Irish Wilderness or back along Jack's Frok creek is a visit to a . country that might have existed a hundred years ago. Owing to bad roads there are no motor cars, and there never will be any if the settlers have their 1 way. There are two beautiful Hate 1 parks n the Jack's Fork creek ' country. A black eagle never has 1 been killed there by a deputy gam< .'■ard' n. '1 here are plenty ot bald eagles, deer, lynx, fox, catamount and other wild game. Good fish ng' and hunting are plentiful in the Irish Wilderness and the Jack’s ' Fork creek country, and yonng Jim Hill, now that he has killed hi.black <wgl'. will be waiting to en list either in some man's army or i n the services of hunting parties i which drift in this spring. o x - To Probe Irregularities Washington.

ENUMERATORS HAVE TROUBLES Chicago Residents Fear Robberies and Forbid Census Takers Chicago, April 3.—(U.R) Tin- ser- J lens business of counting now- in ( the decennial census has develop , ed here into a proposition of shouting questions through back doors and calling police to identify the ( enumerators. j After reporting some 215, omi names listed and 25.000 homes vli»it- ( ed on the first day of the count, the census takers recounted the | difficulties they experienced. Many complained that the custom of hairing and double-barring ( the front door, through fear of f bandits posing as gas meter read- ( era and the like, had given th in | much trouble. One woman, for example, refused to adm t an enumerator because ( she was c rtain he was a burglar | and ha had to round up the neighborhood policeman to prove hi; f identity. Even the less wary household ers were not all cordial. Some of , them compellt d the counters to ake tiie tradesmen's route—to th< back door and stand outside as , hough taking an order for eggs. Some other sectois on the census taking front came such reports as these: An embarrassed father asked thr ( enumerator to call again nevt week and "there'll be another name in . the family." An elderly couple reported two i children and when asked their , ages said: "A boy 46 and a girl 49." One men, cheeking oft his s ven , chldren for the census taker, found himself in the predicament , of forgetting the names of three ol , them. o HOSPITAL NOTES Mrs. Martin Bui emieier, Decatur Route 7 undet went a mapor opera- 1 tion at the Adams County Memo 1 rial Hospital this morning.
