DESTROYED THE FISH TRAPS,
Work That Deputy Shcriffs Ryan and
Ward We're Engaged In.

Two Of Lackawanna county's deputy
sherffs. Ryan and Ward, were for sew
eral hours yesterday waist deep in the
middle of the Susquehanna river In
Ransom township. The immersion of
the officers was not accidental, but was
necessary in the work of destroying
three fish traps. which, contrary to the
law. had been built in the river.
All along the Susquehanna evidences
of the open defiance of the game laws
can be seen in the V shaped piles Of
stone built in the water. The apex Of
the V points down stream and at a
point where the two lines of stone.
which lead from the banks of the river
approach each other is located rack
tilted at an angle and leading down
ward into perforated box. Into these
boxes the eels, bass and river trout go
sliding in the night, and before day
light the owners Of the traps go forth
and gather in the harvest. which Is
marketed In the towns and cities.
Sheriff Clemons was on Monday in
formed of the presence of three traps
in the river in Ransom township. He
delegated to Deputies Ryan and Ward
the work of demolishing the illegal fish
ing appliances. The deputies We're
pushing over the stones that made the
anu were ueIilOllSIlIS' lHe TdCkS
when n voice in the bushes on the
bank shouted:
Hold on, thar
"Well, we are holding on, aren't we?"
was the reply.
say. you fellers ID better git outer
thar right smart, or you'll git a heap o.
trouble
"Oh. we're not afraid" shouted Ward.
''Come down here, we want to see you"
you go -" was the classic re-
joiner. followed by the sound of foot
steps scurrying through the brush and
away from the river.
The owners of the traps and racks
We're not located, but their handiwork
which must have required several
nights of hard work, was completely
demolished. The river Is shallow where
the traps were located. in fact. they
can be built only in shallow water so
the deputies We're obliged to do their
work while standing in the water. AZ
ter they drove away from Ransom
there was much wondering and nodding
Of heads-but the traps are no more.

which has an area of forty acres, part
ly wooded.
The committee also re-opened negotia-
tions with John II. Canavan and George
Reynolds for the purchase of Canavan

propositions before advising their ac-
ceptance OF rejection.

home early this morning. They were
both Hebrews. Mrs. Schneider said
that she and her husband had always

CANAAN, N. H., June 12.-Jealously
prompted Walter Leary, so years OF
age, and well known resident of this
town, to shoot and seriously wound his
vie last night aud then shoot himself.

volver at himself and pulled the trigger.
The bullet took effect in the temple
