STILL FISHING FOR FISHERMEN
Another Cast of the Court Drag Net
Gets ri Water Haul.


Gets a. Water Haul.
Two hours spent In wrangling over the
matter in Justice Vien's court yesterday
morning only resulted in the last batch OF
the arrested Manawa fishermen scattering
their cases and getting continuances. John
Coyle, who is said to be the chief offender
against Iowa's worthless fish protective laws
took change of venue, or revenue" as one
OF the court loungers put it, to Justice
Walker and demanded jury trial. All of
the remainder of the day in the latter court
was consumed in an effort TO secure the
jury. There was some criticism of the jury
that acquitted the last batch in this court
and the state objected to Constable Jack
son summoning the eighteen talesmen from
whom the six members OF the jury were to be
chosen. The court then appointed Constable
Baker, but the defense objected to him
upon the plea that he would find men pref
udiced to the prisoner. Constable Alberti
waa finally agreed upon and the case ad-
journed until o'clock That officer, however,
could not be found and at o'clock the
case was continued until this morning.
1t is said TO be the intention of the officers
to summon eighteen of the most prominent
citizens in the city and have jury above
suspicion. The state is said to have plenty
of witnesses with abundance Of evidence,
and II this latter program can be carried out
some results may be anticipated.
