DRAG SEiNES SEIZED
state Authorities VIII Erfsrce ere New

state Authorities Will Epfcrce IRE New
Game Law.
The campaign instituted by Chief
Game Warden Simpkins and his assist
ants against violaters of the new game
law brought forth fruit recently in tho
form Of three large drag seines, which
Deputy George l.. Mccarthy seized and
confascated at Crete, Neb. The prop
erty was taken to the state house and
will be destroyed. The law makes IL
unlawful for any n to seine with any
seine other than a minnow seine. The
streams of the state are supposed TO be
filled with traps and seines Of various
kinds. Mr.. Mccarthy found one seine
5x6O feet lying on the bank of the Blue
river one and one-half mile north Of
Crete. IL showed evidence of having
been used the night before. The own
err of the seine IL not known. The two
seines found near the same place on the
banks of the Blue river were owned by
n Crete brick manufacturer, Mr.. Dogge,
who gave pcaceable possession. IL lis
not likely that he will be prosecuted
for the reason that much difficulty Is
always found in securing evidence. IL
is not the policy Of the game warden
To be harsh with violaters of the law,
but in extreme cases no mercy will be
shown. The two seines owned by
Dogge also showed that they had been
used recently. The other seine was
used the night before, the fish had
been taken from 1t and the seine laid
On the bank to dry.
1t Is the intention Of the COVER o to
appoint one special deputy fish and
game warden for each county in the
state. These special officers are to
serve without compensation. Ten or
twelve have already been chosen on
the recommendation Of Chief Game
Warden Simpkins. The governor has re-
Gently appointed the following: John
Mcconnell of Somerset for Lincoln
comfy, w. l.. Corwin Of McCook for
Red Willow county and w. A. Atkins
Of Sidney for Cheyenne county. II
those interested in the preservation OF
game will assist the officers the law
can be enforced without trouble or
much expense to the state. With this
object in view special officers who are
believed to take a deep interest in the
enforcement of the law are being ap-
pointed.

DEAD MAN FOUND
Body 10 Discovered in Salt Creek
South Of Lincoln.
NOTHING TO ntlp INDICATE IDENTITY
Was Evidently . Harvest Hand n La
borsr-Discovery Made by Son Of
section Man--Anthorities Of Lin
coin Notified aud Act.

The dead body Of an unknown man
was found OIL the morning of the nth
under the Rock Island railroad bridge
across Salt creek located Immediately
south Of the Rock Island crossing of
the Union Pacific tracks, where the big
wreck Of 1894 occurred. The discovery
was made in the morning by the nine
year-old son Of w. q. Wollock, n Sec
ton hand on the Rock Island road.
He accompanied his father to his work
and was playing about the bridge
while his father engaged in his usual
duties. Ills attention was suddenly
called to n queer looking object under
the bridge, which investigation showed
was the form of n man. 1t was lying
directly beneath the bridge, half sub
merged in the shallow stream, extend
ing from the bank partly across. Mr..
Wallock was called and he hastened
to the p~epitentiary where he notified
the city authorities by telephone. The
body was taken to Walton q. Roberts
undertaking rooms at Lincoln.
Coroner Graham went to view the
body ut once. He found II as described
and In q condition showing clearly
that il must have laid there after the
mans death at least thirty-six hours.
and possibly more. The right arm was
broken neal the wrist and the left leg
was broken below the knee. The back
part Of the skull was crushed and on
the top of the head, well towards the
front was q small cut which was at
irst mistaken for n hole caused by a
bullet Or some sharp instrument.
While some at first believed there
was sufficient evidence to warrant Il
theory of murder, further investiga-
ton made it apparently plain that the
man met death by being thrown from
u car on which he was beating his way
or by a train while crossing the bridge
under which he was found. There was
hardly anything about him to indicate
who he vas or where he came from,
and the coroner's jury brought in a
verdict that the deceased came to hi,
death through causes unknown.

The loss to the country by forest
fires, largely %preventable, has been es-
timated at $50. OOO. 900 every year. In
regions where wood and water are
abundant the tendency Is to take them
for granted and forget r'l about them.
But without cheap lumber u indus

riously retarded. And agriculture de-
mands water. All through great parts
Of the West the people are coming to

O HOLD OUT WELL
Corn Saved by DEMONSTRATIONS GEN.
orally U~nfavornble.

1850
Crop Reporter Loveland is not partic-
ularly discouraged as to the condition
of the growing corn. Tuesday he made
public his weekly crop bulletin, based
on reports from every county in the
state, which says:
The past week has been hot and dry.
The daily mean temperature has aver
aged IL degrees above the normal.
The rainfall of the past week has
been very light, no amount sufficient
to aid crops having been reported.
The hot, dry weather has been very
uncomfortable for all growing crops.
Threshing of winter wheat has made
good progress, and the yield is good and
the quality fine. Spring wheat and
oats have ripened too rapidly in north
ern counties, and the yield will be
somewhat reduced. Early planted corn
is beginning to tassel in southern coun-
ties and has been considerably dam
aged by the drouth; later planted corn
is standing the drouth we'll but corn
generally has deteriorated in condition
during the past week. Corn Is small
and late and most Of it has not tasseled
and with rain would soon recover
largely from the effects of the dry
weather. However, with the rain the
crop would generally be decidedly be
low the average. Apples and fruit
generally have been injured, and the
hay crop will be less than expected
earlier in the season. Potatoes are {
very poor crop.
