LIKE H I
Sparrows and Other Birds
Killed in Storm.
BUT
NOT
IN
OREGON
One of the Unpleasant Experi
ences of an Oregon Man
in Indiana.
S. K. Busick of Dorena, was a
Cottage Grove visitor Saturday.
He returned home recently from
Iudiaua where he spent some time
visiting with relatives and friends
during the past summer. While
he enjoyed his visit the severe
electrical summer storms of that
state was not altogether to his lik
ing aud was a constant reminder
to him that old Oregon with her
cool, pleasant summers and mild
winters was the l)est state in the
union after all.
EXPERIENCES A TYPHOON.
One of his experiences in a
severe Indiana thunder storm is re
lated as follows:
“ During a certain part of the
storm which struck
Boonville
about 8 o ’clock, August
19th,
there was a shower of birds from
above like a hailstorm. No one
noticed any hail, but people told
of the birds thumping their roofs
as if it were a hail storm. Some
of the birds fell to the ground
dead, others were only stunned.
Once, however, they hit the ground
they drowned, for the streets were
deep in water.
People were unable to under
stand why the birds fell. While
red birds, black birds, blue jays,
cat birds, robins, martens, meadow
larks and other birds of this local
ity were among the number, the
sparrows predominated. The ex
planation is offered that the air
must either have suddenly become
electrified or the rain fell in such
torrents and the wind blew so
strong that the birds were knocked
from their perches and once off
they could not fly against the
fierce wind and rain.
A colony of college l>oys, in
cluding representatives from Cor
nell, Pennsylvania aud Vander
bilt, who were there canvassing
gathered several sacks of the
birds which still showed signs of
life and startled the plain, country
folk of this burg by sitting down
to a mess of pot pie. The boys
pronounced it a fine dish, accord
ing to their landlady.
The storm was a miniature cy
clone and all that it lacked to
make it a. real one and take the
top off of Itoouville was the loca
tion of Boonville on a river. Boon
ville, by its peculiar location, es
caped pretty luckily. Pour big
farm barns and a house burned to
the ground, six horses were killed,
besides some cattle, causing a loss
of $20,000, which represents the
total result.”
LOCAL PAPER’S
ACCOUNT OE IT.
The Boonville local paper had
the following to say about this
peculiar storm:
“ Boonville, hid., Aug. 19.—
There seems to lie a mystery here
as to the cause of the death of so
many English sparrows during the
fierce electrical storm of last night.
The little birds lay in heaps this
morning everywhere and were es
pecially under the big, widespread-
ing trees, where the workmen were
compelled to gather them with
shovels. The city street commis
sioner set his men to work early in
the day gathering them and to
night declared there was a full
wagon load.”
Mr. Busick gave us an order for
three yearly subscriptions to the
Leader which will be sent to his
Indiana friends that they may
learn more about the superior ad
vantages and opportunities afford
ed in good old ( Iregon.
COAST FORK PARTY
AT COUGAR BEND
Coast Fork, Ore., Sept. 18 1908.
Mr. Editors— :l’ pon their return
from Cougar Bend the following
person report a very pleasant and
enjoyable outing.
Misses Inez White, Della White
and Della Boyd; Messrs Alfred
While, Seldon Powell, Clarence
Boyd, and George Boyd.
11 carried a person back to the
old pioneer days of fourty-nine to
hear them relate their thrilling and
hair raising stories of their mirac
ulous escape from the beasts of prey
from which Cougar Bend has be
come famous.
O f course they were supplied
with the latest models of firearms
and plenty of ammunition, but
there is no doubt but what the
fairest of the party would have
met with a similar fate as little
Red Riding Hood’s grand-mother
if they had not been protected with
the world famous twenty-two
"Stevens.
They report plenty of fish, but
only caught the large string of
twelve. Deer were also reported
plentiful, in fact so plentiful the
boys brought three deer (dear’s)
home with them. A very pleasant
trip, was reported, regardless of
exciting adventures.

It is stated that the men in
charge of the S. P. Co’s sawmills
at Marcóla have received orders to
clean off all the docks of luml>er,
which signifies that the company
intends to start up the mills again
in the near future, ordering the
docks cleared to make room for
new lumber. Large shipments of
railroad ties, which have l>een on
hand since the mills close last
winter are being made every day.
The only mill in the vicinity of
Marcóla that is running now is
that of the Sunset Lumber com

full crew, but the prospects are
that a number of others will re

This mill was built about two

following facts concerning the
game law now in force will be of
interest to many.
The season for hunting female
deer opened September 1. aud will
continue until October .5(1, while
the o|>en season for bucks will
close October 15. In this county
hunters having a license are per
mitted to kill five deer during the
open season.
The open season for elk lasts for
only one mouth, between Septem
ber 15 and October 15, and a
hunter is permitted to kill only
one.
China and native pheasants,
quail, and grouse may be shot in
this county between October 1
and November 30, the bag limit
being 10 in one day. The open
season for duck, geese and swan
extends from September 1 to Jan
uary 30. Only 50 ducks may be
killed in one week, but there is no
limit to geese aud swan.
It is unlawful to offer for sale or
to ship outside the state, any deer,
moose, mountain sheep, elk, silver
gray squirrel, swan, prairie chick
en, grouse, ducks and upland
birds, or to hunt without license,
to hunt by night, run deer with
dogs, or kill beaver or spotted
fawn. The fines ini]X)sed for any
of these offenses range from $10 to
$500. A hunter’s license is good
anywhere in Oregon, but he must
carry his license with him while
hunting.

A traveling man who was at
Cottage Grove Friday, told a
Guard reporter that Mr. Brand, of
the firm of Metcalf & Brand of
that city killed a large buck deer a
few days ago with a rock in the Bo

buck in the brash near by he got
out of the vehicle and picking up
a rock in the road, threw it at the
deer, having no idea that he
would even hurt it. lie was

the ground and when he reached
it the deer was dead. He struck
it in a vital spot in the head.— Eu
