Ross. , Charles and Wilson Bussell bagged the first wild goose of the season early Sunday morning. It was not a day for hunting, but a flock came and lighted near the park, so they slipped own and downed this one for supper. Floyd Miller, as special constable, made a trip to Lafayette Friday, in an effort to loeate Otto Herbert,' the fellow who attempted to kill Elmer Hammerbacker last Tuesday, but found practically no trace of him. No doubt Harbert is out of the state and will likely remain away. It is said he is now out on parQle and if captured will have to go back and serve out some time unexpired. Mr. Hammerbacker is getting along very well. He will be out in a few days, probably, but it was a close call for his life
