MAYOR OFF ON FISHING TRIP.

A Float Down the Little Niangua
for Crittenden and Party.

Mayor Thomas T. Crittenden, Jr., W. P. Motley, Russell Greiner and David Thornton have hearkened to the call of the wild. They left last night for Lebanon, Mo., whence they will drive for twenty-five miles through the uncut to a farmhouse near Corkery, where three days will be spent, far from the maddening franchises, trafficways and hospital investigations.

Each morning they will float for twenty miles down the Little Niangua, said to be the most crooked river in Missouri, and at nightfall they will be but two miles from their starting place. Then the boats will be hauled back by wagon, and the circuit renavigated the next day.
