Minneapolis Times: After a few years
when the prairie chickens in Minnesota
nave become as scarce as they now are in
Ohio, Illinois and other states in which
they were formerly found in abundance,
the so-called sportsmen Of to-day will
regret that they did O take a decided aud
consistent stand against the d%epredations
which seem to increase every year instead
OF diminishing. in spite of the conscient-
ious and vigorous work of a game COM
mission which is trying to do its duty.
This ia directed to the so-called sports
men of to-day, because the gentleman
hunters who are fond of shooting, and who
are benefited more than anybody else by
tbs protection of the game, have shown 20
frequently that their championship of the
game laws and their ~virtuous indignation
at the pot and market hunters are matters
OF talk rather than of any action to assist
~ commission in its work. BY conniv
I : in the handling and consumption #
game out of season., which they do by
eating it and seeing others cat it, and
knowing of it being purchased and
handled without protest and without
notice to the officials, they assist in max
ing a market for the worst GLASS of
poachers and the chief breakers of the
law, and become moral accessories of a
class they denounce and affect to despise.
This is rank Inconsistency, and is none
the less unworthy of the men, because
they do not stop to consider how mucl,
they are to blame for the game slaughter
that ia breaking up all the co veys at this
particular season, making the shooting
poor for those who observe the laws, and
destroying the possibility OF a large pro-
duction for another year. This question
of the preservation of game is no trifing
matter, as all will testify who have found
the shooting poorer and the birds less
plenty each year for the past dozen years,
and unless the sportsmen themselves take
an active interest in the work Of the game
commission, and are consistent in their
expressed feelings, the market hunters
will have finished their destructive work
in this state before another decade has
passed.

DESPERATE FIGHT.
BIoodshed in a Quarrel Over Cards
at Archbald-One Man Dead,
the Other Dying.

To the already long list Of serious
crimes committed at the 'Ridge."
near Archibald, the red-handed crime
Of perhaps double murder was added
on Sunday morning
Sunday morning rough crowd of
Poles and Slavs that had been drinking
all night in a place kept by man
named Mayk Rustoski, engaged in an
alteration over q game of cards. A
free fight followed.
Sylvester Rustoski. O brother Of the
proprietor, marched to the outside Of
the saloon. armed with base ball bat
Joseph Klucz was nearest to him and
received terrible blow on the head
from the bludgeon, fraeturing the
skull. After Klucz fell from the force
Of the blow Rustoski kept oattering his
head and face until he had reduced it
to almost jelly.
The proprie tor, cousin OF the assail.
ant OF Klucz, was In possession OF a
double barreled shot gun and he fired
one Of the charges into the right side Of
John Biddo.
The latter, unmindful Of the load Of
buckshot in his side, kept raining q
fusilsds Of stones against Rustowski,
who fred the contents of the other
barrel ut the right arm of Biddo, the
shot taking effect in the wrist and dis
srming him.
Klucz and Biddo having been COM
pletsly ovsrpowered and left prostrate
on the ground in an unconscious con-
dition, the Rustoskis went inside.
Their house was wreck from the
shower Of stones sent iu through the
windows and doors.
Friends carried the men to the saloon
Of Andrew Dsgnatis. where Kluoz died
half hour later Reports from there
received at an early hour this morning
stated that Biddo's life was rapidly
ebbing away and his death is hourly
expected.
Coroner Kelly went to the scene yes.
terday afternoon and empanelled the
following jury: Thomas Readington,
Andrew Howells. James Davis, James
Frame, John H. Sampson and John
Laive. The testimony of several wit
nesses who saw the murder was heard
aud the jury found a verdict that
Klucz came to his death from frac-
tured skull. inflicted with club in
the hands Of Sylvester Rustaski.
Kluez is an unmarried man 30 years
of age and had lived at the Ridge but
six months. Constable Morris, Of
Peckville. arrested the murderer yes
terday morning at s o'clock in the
Sturgss mines Of the New York and
Scranton Coal company and brought
him to the county Jail.
Last evening Constable Dougher, Of
Archibald, arrived at the county prison
in charge Of Majk Rustoski. who in all
likelihood before the sun sets will also
be a murderer.

MRS. GOLDEN DEFIANT
Would Not Allow City Workmen to
Encroach on Her Husbands
Property.

A woman unaided held at bay and
finally put to rout force OF masons
and laborers who attempted yesterday
to build q sewer basin near her hus-
bands property on Railroad avenue,
between Luzerne aud Fourth streets.
When the workmen reached the
basin pit and were preparing to begin
the masonry work Mrs Golden or
dered them away, alleging that the
operations encroached upon her hus-
bands property The force informed
the woman that their work must be
performed nilly or willy. Mrs. Golden
without further ado sprang into the
excavation and said it would be over
her dead body that any hireling OF the
city could enter. Arguments and per-
suasive tactics only increased Mrs
Golden's aggressive attitude and
rather than resort to strong measures
the workmsn gathered their tools and
came to the municipal building for in
struetions.
A policeman accompanied the men
back to Railroad avenue. and, after
adinonish!ng the irate woman against
interference under penalty Of arrest,
the work went on uninterruptedly.
The circumstance created not u little
excitement in the vicinity.
