Game Warden Stetson's vigilant de-
puties at Minnetonka caught three men
SUNDAY afternoon fishing through the
ice with 'set lines.' One of the men
IS half breed Indian named Wixorn,
whose native appelIati0n is Rain-in- the
Face;" another gave the name Of Gregg.
They were arrested and arraigned be-
fore Justice Gould. of Excelsior, at 7::30
O'Clock Monday night, The denizens
Of the country bordering on the lake

game warden and the commissioners to
stop the illegal fishing. The other fac

The ordinance forb1dding the market
wagons to stand at the old central mar
ket at First street and Nicollet avenue
will be RICHLY enforced, There have
been number of wagons around the old
stand during the past week, but now
they will have to move On. The police

south town people are reported as say
ing that they will keep q strict watch at
the old market and take down the name
of anyone caught selling from the side
walk. Then, ii the police do not arrest
them, they will see that they are brought
into the court and fined.

Vesconte his creditors put in an appear
ance and asked for the appointment Of
an administrator, and, as no heirs had
showed up with a WILL their petition
was granted. }. 2. Sawtelle was made
the administrator, Now, several
months after the appointment of the
administrator, the heirs come forward
with will, which they claim they have

telle, on behalf of the creditors, asserts
that the will is not a recent discovery,
but was purposely held back by the
heirs because they at first thought it
would be to THEM benefit to have the
estate settled by the creditors. The
matter was only partly heard Monday
and continued for a. week. The Will of
the late William 0. Hickok was admit
