SAN FRAHcIsoo, Oct. 20 NJ Viii
cox Of Washing ton, statistician agent
of the United States commission Of
fishes and fisheries, has arrived from
Oregon and Washing ton for the purpose
of preparing a statistical report Of the
fishing industry on the coasts. He has
been industrionsly engaged in the pur-
suit Of his Investigations and inquiries
in Oregon and Washington for several
weeks, and will devote the next month
or two to the work Of gathering data
concerning the fish and fisheries Of CAL
ifornia. Mr.. Wilcox said that for sew
eral years past the fisheries Of the West
coast of the United States had been
growing in Importance to such an ex-
tent that the United States fish cons
mission had deemed it advisable and
highly important that an elaborate and
accurate report of the status Of the
fishing industry here be obtained
and he has been, sent here for
that purpose. His report is calculated
to prove great benefit to the CONNER
cial fishing industries Of the coast, for
the reason that it will show the neces-
sity for more hatche1ies and more
thorough stocking Of the streams and
inland waters Of the state He says it
is extremely probable that the United
States fish commission will decide to
establish half dozen new hatcheries in
California before long, for the reason
that the fishing industry Of the Pacific
coast states, including Alaska, has
grown SO that it ranks next to that of
the New England and Middle Atlantic
states in extent and Importance, while
The value of the fishery products is
greater than in the South tlantic,

Party Of One Hundred Armed

GUTHRIE, o. T., Oct. 2O.-Further
particulars have been received Of the
raid Of the little town Of Carney, about
20 miles east of here. About 8 O'Clock
at night six masked and heavily
armed outlaws, supposed to have been
headed by the notorious Dynamite

#"held up" the town. :
Carney is town of about 800 people.
The robbers entered the village from
the north with a great show of firearms.
Two Of the outlaws entered the general
store of B. Fouts & Co., and compelled
him and his son to open the safe. After
securing about $500 from them they
bound both the father and son, threw
them upon horses and carried them
about two miles out of town, where

In the meantime the rest of Che gang
had entered the postoffice, but failing
to secure anything of value, they raid
ed the hotel, compelling the proprietor
and several travelling men, who were
stopping there; to turn over their mon.
ey, watches and jewelry. Several
smaller stores were also raided. Before
entering Carney the outlaws had taken
the precaution to cut the telephone
wires leading to- Chandler, so that there
might be no chance of failure. Dur
ing the raid the bandits kept up fusil-
ade Of bullets in all directions, terroriz-
ing the Inhabitants. SO that very little
effort was made to- resist the raiders.
Shortly after the bandits left about 100
armed men pursued, but the chase has
been so far without result.
