FISHERMEN AT WAR.
Hand-Line Men at Holly Beach Mu-
tilate Nets.


tilate Nets.
Sea Isle City, n. j., June 10.-Serious
trouble is brewing between hand-line
fishermen and the owners Of two big
pound nets on Five Mile Beach. The hand
liners have drawn first blood, for they
have almost destroyed the two big pound
nets. The trouble began some time ago
when number of the eighty Swedish and
Norwegian fishermen who go 10 the Five
Fathom fishing bank every day threatened
to destroy the pound nets Some time be-
tween Saturday night and Monday morn
ing the chains and ropes that held the
pound nets in position were cut in numer-
Gus places. The nets were also badly
mutilated. and for three days the pound
net fishermen have been unable to lift
their nets. The damage amounts 10 a
considerable sum, as the nets were almost
ruined.
Recently the many ook-and-line fisher
men who rendezvous at Holly Beach have
experienced considerable Inconvenience by
the pound fishermen mOnopolizing the
space at the Holly Beach fish platform.
where fish are barreled up for shipment.
Then. too the handline fishermen claim
that while the pound-netters catch thou
sands Of "mossbunkers," which are nom
marketable and only fit for use as bait for
sea bass fishing, they refuse to sell this
bait to the men who use the hand line on
the banks"
Game Warden Hilton and Capt. John
Taylor, of Anglesea, who are the managers
and part owners of the pound nets, say
they will do. everything in their power to
apprehend the men who mutilated their
nets. Detectives are now at work on the
case,

THE WYOMING BANDIT WAR.
Scouting Parties still Pursuing the
Daring Railroad Robbers.

Casper, Wyo., June 1O-The authorities
continue to send out scouting expeditions
after the bandits who dynamited the Union
Pacific express train. The whole State is
in state of war. and tnere is not town
in Northeastern Wyoming that has not
armed and sent out posse. Still it looks
as II the road agents are safe in their lair

Adjutant General Sitter states that there
is probability that in the event of the

of the Wyoming National Guard at Dou-
glas. the home Of the Sheriff Joe Hazen,
who was killed Monday by the outlaws and
the soldiers have volunteered to a man for
the work. The company is composed Of
some OF the finest horsemen and rife shots
in the West, and should they be ordered
out they will surely give a good account
of themselves.
Casper man who came in this morning
| states that 1t is generally believed the fugi-
tives will continue north along Powder
River. where there are numbers of old
time cattle rustlers who will give the ban
dts all the aid, shelter, and horses they
may want. The "Hole In the Walf' coun-
try is now occupied by three or four big
sheep outfits, owned by well-known stock
men. who will not give any assistar"e to
the bandits. The difficulties of the chase
are shown from the story of one o. the
posse who was with Sheriff Hazen when
he was killed. After the fight 1t was found
the posse had passed within thirty feet OF
the bandits, who were crouching in the
sage brush. Hazen was ambushed and kill
ed by the robbers at a distance Of seventy
five feet.

1t is said that the residents and owners
If property In the vicinity OF and adjoining
.he plant of the Standard Oil Company in
Southeast Washington, will on Tuesday
next, apply to the Supreme Court of the
District for an order requiring the Stand
ard Oil people to show cause why they
should not be called to answer for con-
tempt of court.
The reason and basis of this action on
the part of the petitioners is, it is alleged.
that the defendant corporation, has, in de-
fiance of the order both of the Supreme
Court of the District and the Court of APP
peals for the District. continued what it
was alleged m the original proceedings in
the case. is business obnoxious and dan
gerous to the residents and property own
ers in that section of the city.
The original complaint in this matter
was filed during the April term of the
Supreme Court of the District by John G.
Oesen and William ]. Downey, through
their attorneys. C. NJ. Smith and Edwin
Forest. The Standard Oil Company was
represented by Messrs. A. s. Worthington
and Clarence A. Brandenberg.
The complainants in the bill asking for
an injunction, alleged that the business
noxious and dangerous to the health of the
residents in the immediate vicinity of its
oil plant and that because of the sparks
from the engines. the hay stored in the
stable lofts of the defendant corporation
was dangerous to the safety of the prop
erty in that neighborhood.
The matter was argued before Justice
Hagner, of the Supreme Court of the Dis
trict, who held that certain new oil tank,
recently erected, at that time, by the
Standard Oil Company, should not be used
and issued an order enjoining the COM
pany from 50 doing. The defendant COM
pany took an appeal from the decision OF
Justice Hagner, to the Court of Appeals
for the District. which, after argument
and consideration of the testimony sub
mitted. affirmed the judgment of the Su-
preme Court OF the District. making per-
manent the injunction, SO far as the new
oil tank was concerned.
II is now alleged that the Standard Oil
Company has violated the order of the
court in making use of the oil tank. which
was prohibited both by the decree of the
Supreme Court of the District and the
Court Of Appeals for the District.
Evidence tending to establish the fact
that the order of the court has been vio-
lated was taken yesterday, and other wit
nesses will be examined on Monday
On Tuesday, it is stated Messrs. Smith
& Forest. attorneys for the petitioners,
will apply to Justice Cole, of the Supreme
Court of the District, for an order requir-
ing the Standard Oil Company to show
cause why it shall not be ruled for con-
tempt for alleged violation of the decree
Of the court.

Senator William NJ. Stewart of Nevada

Senator Stewart is now occupying his
famous castle which is located at the inter-

nese Minister, and, while occupied by the
Chinese Legation, the castle was the scene
of some Of the most brilliant social gath
erings of the Capital. The ballroom of the
castle is the largest in Washington.
There has also been some talk that Sen
ator Stewart contemplates the building of
large apartment house or flats on the
site of the present structure. The scheme
has been under consideration for two years,
but nothing definite was ever determined
on. New York parties were interested in

NICARAGUA SEEKING FUNDS.
War Between That Country and
Costa Rfca Not Improbable.

SOSua 1thCu NOt "pEODaOhCs
New Orleans, June 10.-Affairs in Mica
ragua are moving rapidly toward the
gravest complications. and war between
that republic and Costa Rica is imminent.
On June 1 General Estrada, who is in COM
nand at Bluefields, called the merchants
laya had decided to put the republic on
silver basis and retire the deprecated pa
per. In order to accomplish this end it
was necessary to borrow 100000 tsols),
and the President asked the coast mer-
chants to raise the sum, offering to repay
the money by giving up the entire liquor
customs and 20 per cent of the other duties
until the money was all refunded The
matter at the time of the latest advices
was being discussed by the merchants, who
we're extremely suspicious of the new
move. 1t appears that there are one mil
lion paper soils in circulation, and Es-
trada asserts that these are being retireo
at the rate Of 90, 900 to 10000 month.
The real cause of Zelaya's anxiety to
raise coin is the threatened war with Cos
Ia Rica, to meet which Nicaragua has no
materials of war and no credit. Only the
most abject lack of preparation to meet
her energetic Southern neighbor would
have prevented open hostilities on the oc-
casion Of the last weeks insult. 1t appears
that when General Torres started to the
interior with number of revolutionary
prisoners and a guard of 165 men. his
route lay along the San Juan River. The
river at one point enters the Costa Rican
territory, and there he was met by an
armed force OF Costa Rican soldiers, who
refused to allow armed men to pass.
Torres was then forced to send his men
and prisoners back to Bluefelds. and to
go on alone to Managua. He was furious
at the insult, and it is declared that only
fear of the consequences would have re-
strained Zelaya from an immediate attack
on the neighboring republic. This the
Bluefelds merchants know, and they are
none too anxious to put up money to start
q war. The Vixen has reached Bluefelds
to relieve the Detroit.
