INDIANS CLEARED FIRST FIELD (Cornu page.] would tire usrto teli you of theni. Morrison s Island used to be Eagle Island because of the large Eagles that nested there every year. It was no man’s land until after the war. and then William T. Morrison, m the early seventies, squatted upon it. Nobody disturbed him, nor did anybody think it worthwhile to lay claim to the few acres of land beneatit him, and so, by the statute of limitations his possession ripened into ownership. And finally Wawasee came to be a summer resort and the lands running down to the lake grew to be valuable, and Mr. Morrison sold the few acres that nobody had,thought worth claiming for more money than he ever earned in all his life, all put together, or will earn if he is permitted to live another hundred years. And Cedar Point, that bold promontory named for the red cedars that grew on it, has been given some new-fangled and meaningless name—we don’t know what it is and we hope we shall never learn. But out new name, lately adopted, is appropriate, thanks to Jim McDonald, (d the Ligonier Banner, who invented it. It applies to the long and beautiful strip of lake frontage from near Cedar Point to Morrison’s Island that has for many years belonged to Mr. Nathaniel Crow—or rather, Uncle Natty Crow. No other name was ever known for it that we know of but Crow s Landing until last year Mr. McDonald suggested to the summer dwellers there that they name it Nattycrow Beach, ani the suggestion was promptly adopted. This preserves and .yet improves upon the old name. But they insist on spelling it “Nattycro,” with the final w lopped off, and that is a serious mistake that we hope Mr. McDonald is not responsible for. Just east of the Syracuse works of the Sandusky Portland Cement Company lies Big and Little Buck Islands. The smaller one is just north of the railroad bridge and is a round little knob rising but a foot or two above the water and no more than thirty feet in diameter. The larger one lies across the channel to the east and contains eight or ten acres. The Baltimore and Ohio railroad now rests on the center of it and has filled its tracks to the east so that it is an island no more. Many years ago good Uncle Jimmy Rentfrow, who came in 1836 and entered the farm now owned by Lewis A. Neff north of town, stood on the smaller of these islands and, though it was a long shot for the rifles of the time, felled a majestic buck deer on the larger one. Unable to reach the deer afoot he came to the village here and secured a boat and some assistants. From this incident these islands took their names. Dillon's, named for kindly William Dillon, who was killed by a train while crossing the railroad bridge in returning to his home, is now Pickwick Park. And Conrad’s Island, to wliich Henry Conrad returned and .on which he camped, solitary and alone, every year until he was almost a centenarian, seems to have no name since Bob Epert died. It was Epert‘s Landing, or Bobby’s plape while he lived. But the land to the west of Pickwick Park which used to be an island, has had its first and true name recorded ’ and shall ever retain it. Its first occupant was Kaleb Oram, uncle of Harry Oram of Warsaw, who with his brother Thomas squatted offit in the fifties. As “Old Kale’’ he was known, and Kale Island was the name given to his abode. And when the lake front there was platted as a village some years ago, as Kale Island it w as recorded. But we have exhausted the space the Journal can devote to our history this week. Last week we promised to tell you the story of Crosson and Ward, the very first white settlers here, and when we began this paper we fully intended to do so herein, but that story will have to wait. t A splendid line of linen papers cut to order at the Journal office.’

That Big Pike. The big pike which Vern Benner caught last week (and, by the way Att’y Milt Treesh was with him and assisted in landing it) has been sent to J. W. Jameson, maker of the famous “Coaxer” bait, of 1274 Polk street, Chicago, who is having it mounted by a taxidermist and who has sent Mr. Benner a fine outfit of baits and tackle- Mr. Jameson writes that we can safelv claim that this is the largest • pike ever caught in Indiana. When first taken out of the water it weighed a little over twenty-five pounds. . The foregoing is from the Journal of May 6,1909. Mr. Jameson has had the fish mounted and has exhibited it in Chicago where it has excited much interest. Our claim that it is the largest pike ever caught in Indiana remains undisputed. The Shakespeare Club Shower. Miss Lillian Tripp was most royally entertained on the eve of her marriage by the Shakespeare Club, ■at the home of Miss Violette; O’Dell. Fifteen girls were present, and the numerous questions which they placed in the question-box upon their arrival, when read and answered by the bride, afforded much more amusement to her inquisitive friends than heiself. Yet she was very brave and would probably have told many more things, of interest to those who had felt the stings of Cupid’s arrow, as well as, those less favored, had not a summons come from the,diiming-room. When the folding doors were thrown open it seemed a host of fairies hadJLneen abiding there. Hearts! hearts! on the walls, the curtains, around the table, and everywhere I Above the center qf the long table was suspended a white bell from which ribbons were stretched to each place and there were fastened to them tiny hearts, on each one of which was written a guest’s name and some fond saying. The bride’s seat was distinguished by a large pink satin rosette on the arm of the chair and pink and white carnations at the pjate which matched the large boquet in the center of the table. After the sumptuous spread, each gave a toast to the bride or some suitable sentiment. In response she was requested to read the booklet of fifty love lines that had been selected from Shakespeare. With the singing of love songs she was escorted to her home at a rather late •'hour, and with warm hand clasps and best wishes of the friends left them for the night, amid a profuse shower of rice. * * * Juday Reunion., The annual meeting of the Juday families and relatives will hold their annual reunion at Jones’ Landing, at Lake Wawasee, on. Saturday, June 12, 1909. There will be good music furnished. Rev,' McCloe of Solomon’s Creek and Rev. Nepper of New Paris, will talk to those present. It is expected that a large number will be in ? attendance. Be sure and come and don’t forget to bring full baskets so as to have a good time at the noon hour. ■ Everybody is cordially invited to go and enjoy the day. A War on Carp. A war of extermination is being waged on the carp in Center, Pike and other lakes in this vicinity, says a Warsaw exchange. For the past two dayslhe shores of Center lake have been paroled by a small army of men armed with big pitchforks and rakes and many dozens of carp weighing from two to six pounds have been made victims and dragged out to shore and killed. This is the spawning season and the big carp flounder around in the rushes as pigs wallow around in the mud. These conditions were first noticed Wednesday morning, when the entire shore line seemed to be alive with the big fellows. During the day the word was passed around and soon the carp hunters began to arrive by the dozens. The fish gradually worked out into the deep water and seemed to be less plentiful. After being unmolested during

the night they again returned to the shallow water and were abundant again on Thursday morning. When first noticed some of the big fish were so close the shore that they ouuld be reached by a rake and the greater portion of their bodies were exposed. One was killed by ’ If is these fish that do the greatest damage to the smaller and better fish of Kosciusko county lakes, and old fishermen are urging everybody to take a hand in the killing. They kill and destroy other fish by the hundreds. Many people eat carp and they are said to be really delectable when properly’ prepared. Pitchforks were used instead of spears, because of the fish law which makes it possible to impose a heavy fine for even having a spear in one's possession. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS lloiiton C.
