KILLED OLD WOLF AND SIX YOUNG ONES

Rensselaer Frog Hunter Turns Wolf Hunter With Satisfactory • Results. Wm. Bowsher, the noted frog hunter who recently moved here from Monon, has turned wolf hunter and seems to be as successful at that occupation as he is in catch-. Ing frogs for the market. Hanging Grove township and vicinity has been overrun with wolves the past winter and owing to their depredations it has been found almost impossible to raise poultry. Squire Bussell, who is usually so successful in killing off the pests, had given up irf despair, and has even offered rewards out of his own pocket to have the wolves killed. Yesterday Bowsher took a hand and on the Dodd farm, in White county, near Lee, he found a den, and after digging fourteen feet, he came across an old wolf and six young ones. The old one he killed with a spade, and the young ones he dispatched more leisurely. Bowsher has been quite successful in the past in finding young wolves, but it is reported that heretofore he never attempted to kill the old ones, for a reason that may be surmised. He will be entitled to quite a nice sum in the way of bounties for his latest captures if White county follows the practice of Jasper in paying bounties.

S. T. Comer and Amos Alter Return from Coast

• Stephen T. Comer and Amos Alter have returned from their winter stay on the Pacific coast. The former arrived Tuesday and the latter Thursday afternoon. They speak with delight of their stay in sunny California and both came home feeling splendid in point of health. They were together all the time until Amos stopped off at Salt Lake City for a'short visit with his nephew, Cecil J. Alter. They were at Santa Monica much of the time and took daily trips from there, spending much of their time at the coast, fishing, and indulging in? other pasttimes. They found pleasure in gathering moon stones, and brought home a number of very beautiful ones, many of which they have had polished’ and mounted as watch charms, stickpins and rings. Amos helped land a Jew fish weighing 455 pounds and Steve verifies the story for he was there and witnessed the feat. It was not Amos’s fish, however, but Amos helped operate the windlass that brought it to the shore. The fish most commonly caught are cod and the fisherman uses from 6 to 14 hooks on a line and some times catches a half dozen fish at one time. Mr. Comer is feeling very much improved in health. When he left here four months ago he could scarcely walk a mile but he is greatly Invigorated and Amos found that he was almost able to keep up on the long tramps in California. He balked only once and that was when he had gone 13 miles on a 14mile trip. He was so greatly benefitted by the trip that he expects to go there again next winter.

Aged Resident Draws Pension From Germany.

' George Pfledderer accompanied his aged father-in-law, Godfred Remm, of Gillam township, to Rensselaer, today, to secure an affidavit that Mr. Remm had never become naturalized as an American citizen. The object of the affidavit was to permit Mr. Remm, who is a German pensioner, to draw his pension; which in German money is about $1 per day, but in U. S. money only about 25 cents a day. The rule enforced in Germany is that .after a pensioner has been in America five years he must make proof that he has not taken steps to procure citizenship, and if this proof can not be furnished the pension would be forfeited. Mr. Remm has been drawing the pension because of an injury received in the Prussian war of-1866. He was ’shot through the right arm, which has since been crippled. Ten years ago his wife came to America and Mr. Remm wanted to accompany her but could ont do so until he arranged to have his pension follow. It was five years before he could arrange for this and he came here five years ago, joining his wife, who lived with her daughter, Mrs. Pfledderer. The pension has come at regular intervals since» but now he Is required to furnish the proof that he has taken no steps to become a citizen of the U. S. Clerk Perkins furnished him with the affidavit, which will be returned through the German consul at Cincinnati.

MYSTERIOUS CRIME COMMITTED AT GARY

Unknown Man for Unknown Purpose Deliberately Shot Children of John Hamilton. Gary, Ind., April 10.—One of the worst crimes in the records of the was committed last night when an unknown person deliberately ‘ shot the two young childrep of John Hamilton, prominent anti-administration democrat, committeeman and prospective candidate for city clerk, as they were standing in the doorway of their home, at 2338 Adams street. Both children are now at the Mercy hospital. Surgeons say there is a possibility for their recovery in case infection or lockjaw does not set in. There Is no clew to the would-be assassin. Lillian, age seven, and Devan, age six, were about to go to bed, when they decided to go to the front door to call in their dog. It was there the shooting occurred. Hearing the ‘screams and .the shots, the mother, who was in the kitchen, ran to the front door, and found both children stretched out across the doorway. At the hospital it was learned- the bullets had pierced Lillian’s right thigh just be* low the abdomen, and Devan’s left thigh. In each instance the ball had plowed through the limb, striking within a half inch of the common femoral artery. The police learned that ' a man of medium size had been seen running away from in front of the house. The Hamilton house is in an isolated place and sets back from the street fifty feet. In front ate three big trees, which partly screen the cottage from view. At the time of the shooting the front part of the house was well lighted and the forms of the children in the half-opened doorway could easily be seen from the sidewalk. ‘T know of no enemy of mine that would do this,” said John Hamilton. “The shooting was deliberate. The boy and girl were calling the dog, but it was in the back yard. Two shots were fired, which shows the deliberateness of the man who did the shooting. I believe that he had been hiding behind the trees waiting for the chance to kill the children.

Tragedy and Comedy Mixed In Rescue at Peru.

The following account of a rescuer's experience in the Peru flood mixes tragedy and comedy in proper proportions. The rescuer said: “f was rowing here and there saving as many as I could from the flood when I heard screaming, and looking up saw two women on top of a porch about eight feet above me. I rowed close to a porch post and told them to slide down and I would take them to a place of safety. This they refused to do until I turned my back and when I felt the second one come down kerplunk into the boat, I rowed them to the court house. Right here is where trouble began for one of those fair Juliettes took me for her Romeo and wanted to kiss me for the services rendered, and of course I gently refused. I didn’t want to hurt the poor lady’s feelings, but when she insisted, I had to sternly tell her that ‘I am a married man and my home is in Rochester and besides this, there are too many looking.’ I finally got away but I couldn’t keep the tears back to see how grateful these Peru people can be.”
