FORTY NETS TAKEN.
MI. Fullerton Has a Merry Time
Along Lake Pepfn.


RED WING, Mimi. Jan. 1.-THE
hottest time that residents along Lake
Pepin have experienced for many years
occurred when Executive Agent Full
lerton, Of the state game and fish com
mission; Deputy Game Warden B. F.
Reed made a raid on the fishermen
who are Illegally fishing in Lake Pepin
waters.
The party started from Red Wing
with team and cutter. having with
them all the praphernaIia necessary
for their mission. They began their
work at the head Of Lake Pepin and
succeeded in Selling thirty-fye of the
pound nets. The party then drove to
Lake City and from there to Reed s
Landing. At the latter place two nets
were taken. At Stockholm one net,
and below Maiden Rock two nets were
seized. All the forty nets taken were
destroyed. They were valued at s., 4G0
Near Maiden Rock the game wardens
came very near having a spirited fight
and being placed in jail in the bargain
The party were driving near that place
when the deputy sheriff and seven
assistants from Maiden Rock jumped
into the road. stopped the team and
attempted to seize the whole party by
force. They demanded to know what
right the party had to come there and
destroy property. and were determined
to hustle them off to Jail The game
wardens placed their hands on their
guns and determined that it would be
a bitter fight before they would be
placed under arrest. They then ex-
planned who they were and where they
resided. The Maiden Rock officials
discovered that they had run against
the wrong crowd-in fact they backed
down completely in regard to taking
them by force. The names Of the
wardens were taken and if is now un-
derstood that warrants are out for
their arrest.

DOCkERY SAILS AWAY.
He Makes His Escape and Is Still

NNEAPOLIS, Jan. 17.-Notorious
William Dockery is at large and the
local police are already beginning to
feel nervous over II. The alleged lead

South Minneapolis for months by its
many deeds Of robbery and safebreak-

not been captured up to a late hour.
Although the police would ike to lay
their hands on him, they believe that
Dockery will remain out Of harms way
for time
The officers were instructed to watch
carefully for him, and every precau-
ton is being taken to effect his recap

inspectors Morrissey and Stavlo, who

considered their evidence of sufficient
strength TO send their ward to SILVIA

simply gave. him q ref0rmatory. SEN
tence- Tie escape caps the climax. ac-
ccrdIng TO the view taken by the off,
GERS.
1t was about a month ago that Dock
cry was convicted The light sentence
caused the officers TO have Dockery
GTralgned on a number of other charp-
es OF burglary and robbery The first
case was called today, and this is how
sDockery had q chance to escape. He
was brought down by Assistant SUPER
intendent Norton, of the st. Cloud in
stitution- They were on the North
ern Pacific train, and nothing hap
pened until this city was reached. As
they were passing through the yards
on First street north, Dockery suggest
ed that they get of and take a street
car 10 the court house. The officer as
scented Dockery was not handcuffed
and Norton stepped out on the plat
form ahead Of his prisoner. As the as
sistant superintendent was about to
ahght Dockery jumped off on the other
side Of the train.
By the time Norton had waited until
the train passed Dockerv was some
distance in advance. The fugitive
clambered up a bank and Norton fired
At the top Dockery sat down as if
shot As Norton started after him he
slipped and sprained his ankle and in
tuTed his back The ex-prisoner was
soon on his feet and made h escape

yards was made.

MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 17.-If. from
the quietness upon the subject which
