Another Incendiary Fire.

An alarm Of fire was sounded last We'd
nesdsy morning about 10 o'clock. caused
by the burning of the barns of Henry
Hines and John Horton, in the western
limits Of the town, between the A. Y. P.
and A. & o. c. railroads. Both buildings
were entirely consumed, together with
their contents. Hines loss will be about
$3.50 upon which there is no insurance.
and Horizons about $4OO, upon which
there was an insurance, of 1920 on build
ing and contents, in the Continental Com
pany.
Mrs. Horton states that Just before the
hre she was passing their barn and heard a
noise therein. She entered and discovered
tramp lying on the hay up stairs, smok-
ing pipe. She asked him what he was
doing there and he replied that he was
resting. She ordered him to leave, at the
same time seizing a pitch-fork to enforce
her command. The tramp became inso-
lent, but finally left upon being convinced
that she would psrforate him with the
pitchfork. She then went into her garden
and within ten minutes she heard the cry
OF fire and discovered her barn in flames.
Mrs. Horton describes the tramp as a
snort thick set man, with light curly hair,
sahoy whiskers and about 50 years Of age,
de has been to her house on three different
occasions within the past two weeks, and
she mas led him each time, giving him
warm meals.
II the tramp could have been found at
the time OF the fire he probably would have
been roughly handled.

Porated Village Of Ashtanula vs.. Richard
RadfOrd failed to come to trial in the Police

WANToN DESTRUCTION OF FIsH.-Hook
and line fishing, especially for bass, has
been very poor this spring; those who fish
in the vicinity of Fsirport report but few
bites and few fish and the same news comes
from Put-in-Bay with the additional in
formation that fish are dying in large num-
bers. We have at length an explanation
of the cause of mortality, which is said to
be the explosion Of dynamite. Fishermen
deposit crabs and other bait TO attract par
ticular species of fish, and when supposed
to be collected they drop a cartridge
charged with dynamite, to which is attach
ed fuse and the explosion of which will
Kill every fish within radius of 60 to 80
feet and shock those at a greater dis
tance, which, though they do not immsdi-
stely rise to the surface, in their gasping
weakened condition, take into their gills
the sand set free by the explosion which ul-
timately produces death. By this means
thousands of fish not large enough for
profitable sale or use, are destroyed, and if
the practice be continued, it will neutralize
all efforts of our fish commission to stock
our lakes and rivers. Why are our fish laws
not enforced upon these wholesale destroy
ers? Where are theofficers whose duty it
is to discover and punish the offenders?

exercises were most pleasant, as they were
