ILLEGAL KILLING or FISH.
This city had visitor yesterday in the
person Of Mr.. L. X. Buntain, of Dayton,
chief flsh and game warden of Ohio.
Some weeks ago, IL will be remembered
by many citizens, q large number Of flsh
we're captured near the gas works in the
TuscArAwas river, the killing of which
was caused by the discharge of some poig-
onous substance into the water from the
gas works, which was an unlawful act.
Mr.. Buntain, with the assistance of Coun-
ty Warden Josiah Clutz, is investigating
the matter, and Il is likely TO 90 hard
| with any one implicated in the affair. Mra
Buntain, after attending to the matter,
will make a deposit OF one ton of black
bass into the upper waters of the Tuscas
rawas river.
WILL APPOINT A MARSHAL.
1t now appears that the unexpired term
of city marshal will not be left vacant
until spring, and that Mayor Reed will
not act In such capacity temporarily. The
law is very plain in the matter, and the
| city officials intend to act accordingly, It
seems the mayor is obliged to fill the va
cancy by appointment, with the advice
and consent of the council. The holding
| of a special election is another method to
| to I'LL the vacancy, but this is considered
an unnecessary expense, and Will not
likely be resorted to.

hearsing Heber's mass, a new composi>
