Her former husband. John Sawyer, 50. meat cutter and butcher, from whom she was divorced last September, is in the Kosciusko county jail, charged with the" shooting. Despite al legations made by the woman, he. denies any knowledge of. the attack. He was taken into custody half an hour after Mrs. Walton was when he was found in the business section. He did not have a gun and protested his innocence. There were no witnesses to the shooting. Mrs. Walton walked from the point where sh£ was attacked to the hospital.

Physicians say, Mrs. Walton will recover. After her divorce last September Mrs. Sawyer resumed the name of Walton.

Most people will say the lakes, but the Handbook of Indiana Geology, a publication of the state conservation department, says that the total lake storage of the world is . only about oneseventh of the total land ice storage. Water stored in glaciers and snow-fields is estimated to be sufficient to raise the level of the ocean fifteen feet if it were liberated. t The storage facilities of Indiana lakes is estimated by W. M. Tucker, one of the authorities of the Handbook, to be approximately 6,000,000,000 cubic feet, and sufficient to make a marked difference between the regularity of flr.\y of rivers which rise from them and those which do not. English Lake according to the author, was originally the largest body of water in Indiana, and covered about twelve square miles. It was a shallow lake along the Kankakee river which has been entirely drained by dredg ing the stream channel. Lake Wawasee in Kosciusko county is now the largest lake in Indiana. It has an . area of 5.5 square miles’. . Dr. Tucker estimates that about one-fifth of Indiana is either occupied by lakes or has been in recent geological timi, which dates from the Illinois glaciation, but lakes formed during this one invasion are practically extinct. All northern Indiana lakes, he ■ .-lays, were formed by the Wisconj sin glaciation which invaded this ' state after the Illinois glaciation. Tie last fifty years have witnessed the reduction of actual lake surface by at least one-half, a condition due to natural causes ccnplcd with artificial drainage, . much of which was unwise.

This was in 1521, w-hen buffalo roamed in millions over the tablelands of northern Mexico and the Great Plains of the present Western United States. An early writer, Antonio de Solis, who first described Montezuma’s menagerie, declared that the greatest raritv in the collection was the “Mexican bulk” w'aich had crocked shoulders, a bunch on its back like the camel, and its neck covered with hair like the lion. It was in these terms that he characterized the American buffalo or bison. As a manifestation of good will toward our southern aeighbqr, a gift of three buffalo was
