FIsRED WITH DYNAMITE.
Man Arrested For unlawfulIy Catching Fish
in Greenwood county.


Last Monday man named Hamilton
was arrested here for selling fish on the
street without license He had large
supply of fish and drove thriving trade
until the police stopped him. He has
been making his home on Fairmount,
where he was again arrested last nj ght by
Chief Burrows
Yesterday evening Sheriff Mitchell of
Greenwood county arrived in the city with
warrant for Hamilton's arrest. He is
charged with violating the fish
and game law of the state, After Hamil-
tons arrest the sheriff took him to Eureka
on the night train.
1t appears hat Hamilton has been catch
ing fish in wholesale quantities in Fall
river, O:ter creek and in the Walnut river
aud the methods he employed, that of
SEEMING and by blowing them out of the
water with dynamite, is in direct violation
of the law.
He has been shipping fish for some
time from Neal, Severy and other
small towns in Greenwood county
and on last Monday sent the enor-
nous amount of ], 100 pounds from Neal
alone.
Every precaution has been taken not
only by the legislatures but by the hunt
ing and sporting clubs of the state to pre-
serve the fish in the streams, many Of
which have been stocked by the fish COM
mission, but the law has not been enforced
with the result of more than light fines on
the wrong-doers Sheriff Mitchell says the
people are very indignant over Hamilton's
hoggishness, as they call it, and propose
that he shall! receive the extreme penalty
of the law as IA warning 10 others who may
attempt to follow his way.
Hamilton claimed that he had written
permit from the owners of the land along
the streams " here he fished and that he
had a right TO catch them by any means

while on the ground Mcpherson makes
Kelly this propositions: That he (McPher-

DAMON AND PYTHIAS.

The play of Damon and Pythias was
presented last night at the opera house to
a good audience by home talent assisted
by w. w. Heathcote professional stage
man. 1t is no fiattery at all to say that it
was exceedingly well rendered; in fact
much better rendered than the average
professional company that comes to
Wichita could do it. The following is the
cast of characters:
Damon, (the fearless upholder of
the constitutional freedom of
Syracuse) ... Mr. w. w Heathcote
Pythias, (the faithful friend who is
willing to sacrifice his bride
his life for Damon). ...........
........... Mr.. .. u. Eckstein
Dionysius, Che cruel, crafty usurper
and the bitter enemy or Da-
mon aud Pythias) .........
.................Mr. John D. Davis
Philistius, (the president of the sen
ate). Mr. c. NJ. Jones
Damocles, senator, Doth weak and
plant tOos i'll the hands of
Dionysius). ...... Mr.. II. Wallenstein
LuculIus, (the faithful slave of Da-
mon who, when he found his
masters life in danger, killed
his horse to prevent his return
TO SYRACUSE. ....... MIR. W. II. Slice
Procles, (the captain OF the guard and
"a follower of the tyran, Diony-
siu>)..... .......Mr. George J. Mold
Hermion, Che noble and loving wife
of DIAMOND. ........M Mrs. Il. III. Fritch
Calanthe, (the betrothed of Pythias,
who even at the block would
not desert HIM. Miss Snow Houk
Aeira.. Miss Ola Seaver
Damon's Little Son.
Little Miss Fern Dorsey
Especial talent was shown by Mr.. Otto
EcksteiD, who took the part OF Pythias.
He manifested many of the elements of a
trained actor and demonstrated his ability
to use the queens English from a stage
standpoint.
John Davis as Dionysus, the tyrant, did
exceedingly well, considering the fact that
he had not his lines memorized thor
oughly.
Mr.. c. N. Jones and Mr. Wallenstein
made excellent Roman senator's. Mr.
George Mold represented Procles very
well. while Mr. w. II. Stice admirably
represented Lucullus being especially
good in the scene where Damon chastised
him for killing his steed.
Mr.. Heathcote, as stated, is a profess
sional, and represented Damon in MASTER
ly manner.
The ladies. Mrs. Fritch, Miss Snow
Houk and Miss Ola Seaver, We're elegant
ly dressed and elected considerable APP
plause as they severally appeared upon
the stage Little Miss Fern Dorsey repre-
sented Damon's little son, and acquitted
herself molly.
The costumes were all appropriate aud
showed taste in their selection. Those OF
Mr.. Heathcote, Mr. DAVIS and Mr.. Eek
stein were rather abbreviated, but those Of
Mr.. Jones end Mr.. Wallenstein were long
enough Ia make up for the deficiency.
The receipts at the door were satisfac
tory, the boys making about 500 over and
above expenses.

LIFE AT THE STOCK YARDS.
IL Is Not All Work But Plenty OF Fun Ever!


A visit to the Union stock yards will
well repay one who has never been there
and they will find many things to interest
them. The thorough method pursued In
the conduct of the business there will at
once attract the attention of men who like
tho see work done right up to the handle.
1t is not all work, and hustle, and money
and stock. There is fun there. just lots OF
il, and it could not well be otherwise con-
sidering the kind of men you meet there.
They are of all kinds, from the substantial
farmer who brings in one car
of well fed steers and thinks it whole
heap" to the festive cowboy from Texas
Who looks on the farmer with disdain
when he latter approaches him with, Il
had twenty: how many did you have?"
The cowboy will answer, "twenty-six"
aud be satisfied the farmer is drawing it
pretty strong. The only trouble is that
the farmer was speaking of steers aud the
cowboy of carloads.
But they are not always at cross pur
poses. Storms, snow blockades and other
hardships that are necessarily a part of
