DR. J. H. HUDGIN
LOSES FIVE PETS
Only One Marten Remains of
the Six Handsome Little
Fellows Collected.
I)r. J. H. Hudgin, who is now on
iin expedition to the hot springs
near the head of Ray liver, will be
chagrined to learn on his return
that live of his six pet martens have
escaped and returned to their native
wilds.
M. P. Fleischinan went 10 the
marten house recently to give the
little fellows their stipend of meat
and found only one tctnaiuing in
the cage. The cage is all intact,
and how they managed to gain their
liberty is a mystery.
When last seen they all had on
handsome lur overcoats, which fact
is nearly certain to cause the death
of any one'of them who encounters
some unknown man.
Dr. Hudgin had only been able
to secure six martens during the
winter, lie was particularly anx
ious to find out if they will breed
m captivity, and will esteem it a
particulaily hard stroke ot misior
tune now that they have escaped at
the beginning of tire mating season.
El'KEKA (KEEK
TO GET A SAWMILL
A sawmill will be running on
Eureka creek within a short time.
While S. K. Heeter was hauling
logs lor Messrs Spicer and Jordan
they complained about having to
whipsaw their lumber; so Mr.
Heeter said;
•‘I think I can fix up a mill that
will cut your logs at much less cost
than to whipsaw them."
So he commenced gathering up
pieces here and there. He bought
a few pie<es trom the Haven estate,
one piece from C. K. 1'eck, an en
gine from Mr. Isley of 7 Little
Mitiook, the arbor trom Jack Welch,
and with a few pieces of an old
dredge formerly secured from J. B.
Wingate he has managed to get
together an outfit that will l>cat
whipsawing.
