Opinion on Vol bounty Fund.

PIERRE, s. d., July 17.-(Special Tele-
gram)-Attorney General Pyle, on the re-
quest of the state auditor, has rendered an
opinion as to the wolf bounty fund. His
holding is that the S., 900 appropriation from
the time of the passage of the act till June
10, 1900, and a proportionate part, should
be applied to pay bounty on wolves killed
prior to January l this year, and the bal
ance to pay bounty on wolves killed between
January l, this year, till June 80
next year. This will only make about $1,000
unable to pay on the $4,000 of certificates
filed prior to the 1st of July and the bal
ance of the Sc, 900 to apply on wolves killed
this year.
Articles OF incorporation were filed today
for the Forest City & Gettysburg company,
composed of New York parties. They have
purchased the track of the old Forest City
& Sioux City and are changing the grade
to running down to the river instead of the
top of the hill, as the old road did.

Association Seems Determined to Put
n Stop to Shaving on Sunday
w. T. Silver, the proprietor Of the barber
shop on Pearl street, was arrested yesterday
afternoon on a warrant issued from the
court of Justice Ref of Manawa, where an
information had been filed by members Of
the BARRIERS Protective association charg-
ing Silver with keeping his place open on
Sunday. This action on the part of the mem
bers of the association is taken as meaning
that they have no intention to drop the fight
to enforce the Sunday closing law. Silver
went before Justice Wien and gave bail for
his appearance. The case is set for hear
ing in Justice Refs court on Thursday
morning at 9 o'clock.
One of the active members Of the BARRIERS
Protective association stated yesterday that
the action Of County Attorney Kilpack in
instructing the justices in the city not to
issue warrants on the informations filed by
the association last Saturday has made the
members more determined than ever to try
to enforce the law. Case after case will be
brought in the effort to secure a conviction.
In the event that the association fails to
: win out before Justice Ref, the next case
will be brought before some other Justice
in the country districts. County Attorney
Kilpack was not in the city yesterday, so
what action he intends taking in this case
could not be learned. Assistant County At
torney Kimball Is of the opinion, however,
that he will move for a dismissal Of the
case.
1t is reported that the attorney for the
association has threatened that if County
Attorney Kilpack persists in refusing to
prosecute the cases brought by the associa-
ton against the BARRIERS keeping open on
Sundays, the association would ~retaliate by
taking steps to close the saloons operated
in connection with certain hotels.

HANS FINDS HIS BROTHER
Romance in the Early Life of Special
Agent for Sioux City & Pacific
Railway Company.

SIOUX CITY, Ia, July 17.-(Special.)-The
name Of Fred NJ. Hans Of Omaha, special
agent for the Sioux City and Pacific and
the Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley
railways, has been spoken of a good deal
lately in connection with the recent rob-
berry Of a Union Pacific train. Not that
Hans was one of the robbers, but he has
taken some part in the chase after the per-
petrators of he crime. Hans made his
mark some years ago, and back of his pres
ent career is a life of daring and real ro-
nance. He has been a frontiersman, scout,
detective, and is one of the quickest shots
with a revolver in the world. Hans began
his career in rather a peculiar manner.
He was a youth working on his fathers
farm, when 1t became necessary that he
leave HON to search for an abducted brother.
In this chase he spent nearly one-half of
his career, but he finally accomplished his
purpose and took the boy back to his home.
1t was in July, 1876, that a man named
Randall, who had a grudge against Fred
Hans father, abducted the 3-year-old son.
Randall's son had been sent to the peni-
tertiary for murder on information furnished
by Mr.. Hans, sr. He took a cowardly
method OF revenge. When the boy was
stolen Randall was at once suspected, and
Hans started out in search of the boy and
his captor. He felt convinced from the
start that Randall had given the boy to
the Indians, so young Hans went among this
people. This search he continued for
eighteen long years. 1t was in this way
that he became famous as a scout. He
entered the employ of the government, and
for years worked with the army in the
Black Hills country, on the plains about
Montana, and went through a number OF
frontier wars. He knew Custer we'll, but
never was with his army very much, but
| spent some time with General Miles, who
has a high regard for Hans as a scout and
brave man.
But the way he found his brother was
hotel at Rapid City one day, and saw a
young fellow there whose face caught his
| attention at once. He felt convinced that
this young fellow was his long-lost brother
| although he was eighteen years older. He
walked up to him and tapped him on the
| shoulder. An investigation proved his sur
mise to be true, and 1t was an affecting
meeting. The boy was known as John
Hart, and 1t turned out Randall had giveI
him to a Mrs. Hart at Cheyenne. who had
brought him up and had given him his name
The woman never knew the boy was stolen
as Randall had told her he was an orphan
without a home. 1t happened that Randall
was killed three months after he abducted tn,
child and before the lost brother had beer
taken home the father had died, but the
mother was living, and her son is now with
her at Fort Robinson.
