Caught Wild Duck
That Fell in Street
C. H. Robertson, in charge f tho
floral storo of Herman Bros . florists,
ioesn't love hunting or laugh tho love
of hunting to scorn, but ho realizes tliut
thero nre more wnys of getting wild
ducks than mangling them with shot
guns. He Is now tho possessor of one
of the finest wild mallards Mint wns
ever hatched. And tho bird cnino right
to his door und fell In the street -11111081
at his feet. There was not n blemish
on It nnd not a feather was disturbed.
During one of the fleix-ust gusts of tho
snowstorm Wednesday afternoon Rob
ertson wns standing nt the door of the
flower storo at No. 10 Peurl stroot watch
ing tho whirling snow, when he saw a
wild duck fall fluttering upon the car
tmcks. He run out and picked It up
nnd carried It Into tho store. It had
apparently been driven downwnrd by a
furious gust of wind and struck some
of the wires In the network ubovu tho
Everett block. The bird wih. not In
jured a bit nnd so slightly stunned that
It recovered In a few minutes. It wus
placed In an Improvised coop plentifully
supplied with food and water. Mr.
Robertson spent all of tlio Idlo tlmo nt
his disposal getting acquainted with It
and petting It. scratching Its head and
saying pretty things to It, tempting It
with dainty bits from tho greenhouses.
Yesterday afternoon It had completely
surrendered and It now rats out of his
hand and tries to talk to him, but It
inanlfosts no desire for any other human
friend.
John Keellne, who lain a number of
wild geeso completely domostlcuted, has
offered $10 for the pet and may get It
U ho can give u bond that he will guard
It from nil harm. Tho beautiful bird

CRIPPLE FROM INFANCY,
MAN TAKES HIS LIFE
Discouraged by his crippled and helpless
condition, which came to him as a birth
right, C. Victor Nelson, 30 years old.
limped down Into the buuemont of his
parents' home, Ki04 South Seventh street,
ut 3:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon and
killed himself by sondlnng a bullet
through his heart.
Mr. Nelson was unmurrled and lived
with his parents. Mr. nnd Mrs. John
Nelson, nil his life. He was the eldest
child In a family of three brothers and
three bisters, and came to this country
from Sweden with his parents when he
wan 2 years old. A deformity In his
feet r quired the use of crutches all of
Ids life.
The despondent moods, which finally
led him to take Ills life, wero of recent
origin and seemed lo come from too
vivid realization of his helplessness, and
the fatal act seemed to be duo to a fear
(hut his Increasing helplessness would
leave him without power of aiding h(ni
self. He had been brooding over his
condition yesterduy afternoon, when he
arose und made his way Into thd cellar.
A few mlnutea afterward his mother and
sisters heard the sound of the shot, nnd
rushing Into the basement found him
(lying from a self-Inflicted wound.
He had secured a revolver belonging to
one of his brothers. Thero was no reu
son for tho young man's despondency
und sense of dependence, for hn wus
treated with the utmost kindness by all
of his relatives. Tho futher Is an em
ploye of the Rock Island railroad and
tho brothers ure profitably employed.
The ulsters are likewise helpful and nil
have been living happily In 11 roomy and
comfortable ho me.
Coroner Cutler was notified and ufteri
11 n InVHStlgatlon decided that no Inquest
was necessary. J
