GENERAL HARRISON'S OUTING
---------
Visit of the ex-President to the Illinois Duck-shooting Grounds
Indianapolis, Ind., March 12--Special Telegram--Ex-President Harrison will leave on his duck-hunting excursion with Mr. George Boyd to-morrow night. Their destination is Havana, Ill., a hamlet on the Illinois River, where they have a hunting boat fitted out and provisioned for a week's cruise among the marshes. It is expected that the hunt will last about a week if the ducks hold out that long. Since his return from Washington General Harrison's health and spirits have been excellent. It was feared by his friends that the relaxation from the heavy nervous strain of the past six months would be followed by a breaking down of his strength, but no such unfortunate result has followed. He has busied himself with his correspondence, which continues to be remarkable heavy; has given attention to some repairs and changes about his home, and has devoted much time to his grandchildren. Any fine morning he can be seen accompanied by the little ones taking a constitutional along Delaware or some other street adjacent to his residence, but as yet he has not appeared down town

Land owners and club organizations in the Illinois river valley met at Havana, in Mason county, and formed a permanent organization, the object of which is to furnish whatever protection may be necessary to guard their prospective properties from trespassing, poaching and encroachments of every character by hunters and fishermen.
