had been used by the burglars, as the
tracks were also plainly visible on the
road.
Mr.. Brooks followed the tracks of the
wagon into Canton, but lost the trail
after reaching Cherry street, where
there was a confusion of other tracks.
Afterwards he reported the matter to
the police and they are quietly working
on clew which may lead to the arrest
of the thieves.
On the way into town, Mr.. Brooks
found dead chicken lying in the mid.
die of the road where it had evidently
been dropped from the wagon. He also
discovered that the thieves had made
two stops at farm houses along the
road, but he did not inquire If anything
had been stolen. Another dead chicken
was picked up by an officer on Second
street early Friday morning. AS neith-
er of the chickens which were found
belonged to Mr.. Brooks, 1t Is very evil
dent that his was not the only property
taken during the night.
Mr.. Brooks said farmers living in his
neighborhood have been molested by
chicken thieves for the past six months.
He believes that some one is making
regular tours of the country about Can
ton and appropriating all of the avail
able fowls.
1t is extremely difficult to convict
thieves who choose to deal in chickens.
Immediately after securing them they
remove the feathers and Identification
is then impossible. But in this case
there appears to exist some evidence
of more substantial sort against a
certain man living in Canton and 1t is
probable that one or two arrests will
follow this offense.

A CAMPAIGN COMMITTED
CHAIRMAN LoGsDoN SELECTS TWEEN
TY-ONE ADVISERS.
The New Committee VIII Take the
Place of Ward Committeeman
Other Political Matters.

Chairman Logsdon. of the Republican
city committee, last night announced the
names of the following committeeman TO
act in conjunction with the city executive
committee: w. N. Harding. a. A. Young.

Jobes, Harold Megrew, Joseph Hogue, Will

Charles Roemler. John Ruckelshaus. Rob-
ert Bryson. William B. West. Oscar Sher-
man and Robert Metzger.
This committee is intended in a large
measure TO succeed to the duties which I'M
der the old law fell to the lot of ward COM
mitteemen. Under the new primary cleo
ton law no provision was made for the ap-
pointment OF ward committeeman, and, as
1t was necessary to have a committee to
act in conjunction with the precinct COM
m%itteemen, it was decided by the executive
committee TO place the matter in the dis
erection Of the city chairman. In his selec-
ton of this new committee. known as the
campaign committee, Mr.. Logsdon has Sc
cured the very best men connected with
Republican city politics. 1t was originally
intended 10 constitute the committee with a
member from each ward, making hfteen IN
all, but, as the chairman was not hampered
by any arbitrary rule of law. he made his
selections according to his needs.
To a large extent the campaign commit

There will be no separate organization OF

BASS FOR FALL CREEK
GOV ERNMENT WILL SEND SEVERAL
HUNDRED THOUSAND HERE.
Indianapolis Water Company Will
Place Them in Fall Creek To-day
Two Varieties of Bass.

indianapolis anglers can now look for
ward to a time when there will be plenty
of bass in local streams. as the govern
ment fish car will arrive in Indianapolis
this morning and will leave several hun
dred thousand young bass of the small and
large mouth varieties to be placed in Fall
creek.
This large number of the hnny tribe will
be left in care of the Indianapolis Water
Company, and they will be transferred this
morning to Fall creek and placed in that
stream at Schoheld's mill, just north of the
fair grounds. The water compan will
provide wagons with large ank for trans
ferring the fish to the stream. There will
be ice in the wagons to keep the water at
a certain temperature.
The immense number of fish to be de-
posted in Fall creek are all young. and it
will be fully three years before the small
mouth bass will be large enough TO be
fshed for and four years or more before the
large-mouth bass will be OF sufficient size
TO tempt anglers. The small-mouth bass
are about five or six inches in length when
they nave reached their full growth. while
the large-mouth bass grow TO be eighteen
inches long.
Vice President Davis, Of the indianapolis
Water Company, said last night that the
fish will be deposited in Fall creek above
the dam and Will be cared for by the water
company. There will be no special guard
placed over the vast number of small bass.
as the Indiana fish laws will afford suf-
fcient protection until they reach their
growth. Mr.. Davis said he thought it best
not TO place the bass in White river, on
account of the danger to the young fish
from the pollution of the stream. and also
from the many fishermen who have no re-
gard for the fish law. He believes that
Fall creek in four or five years will be
swarming with good bass, as the stream
north of the city is an ideal one for the
fnny tribe.

of Fees to the COunty.

Ex-County Recorder William E. Shilling
and his bondsmen filed, in the Supreme
Court. yesterday. their appeal from a judg-
ment of the Marion Circuit Court for $1,000
and costs against them and in favor of the
County Commissioners. The case was
brought. originally, TO recover from Mr..
Shilling fees alleged TO have been Illegally
retained by him while recorder Of this
county.
The complaint stated that he collected
fees amounting to $40. 451.l5 and that his
salary was s6,sl3.S9. leaving him, therefore.
owing the county the difference, which Is
50. .26. The bond, however. was only for
$1,000, and the complaint asked judgment
for that amount, together with penalty and
costs. Mr.. Shilling's bondsmen are Benta-
min Franklin. George Merritt and Samuel
z. Perkins. Attorneys for appellants, in a
brief filed with the transcript yesterday,
attacked the fee and salary law of 1891. de-
claring that it is unconstitutional, in so far
as IL relates TO county recorders. They also
assert that Edwin Il. Pugh. who was pros
ecuting attorney ct the time the suit was
brought. should have appeared as plaintiff

COMPANY DID ITS BEST.
Used All the Cars Ii Could on the
Broad Ripple Line.

Assistant General Manager Jones. of the
street car company, says that the company
did all it could TO relieve the crush at the
parks, and particularly at Broad Ripple.
Thursday. He said the company had
twelve OF the largest cars running TO Broad
Ripple all day. more than should have been
used on the line. At 9 o'clock at night.
when the crowd took a unanimous notion
TO come home all at the same time. he said
the transportation facilities were increased
TO twenty cars. many more than should
have been on the line. The end of the line
is eight miles from the powerhouse, and he
said 1t was risky to. run so many cars at
one time.
Another cause of delay, he said, was that
persons had thrown ties across the tracks
this side OF Broad Ripple in order that they
might get aboard an already crowded car,
and derailed II. 1t was one of the COM
pany's largest cars and thirty minutes were
lost getting IL back on the track. Mr.. Jones
also explained that the track TO Broad Rip
pie is single. and the cars cannot make the
time they do on double tracks on account
of switching. IL is generally granted that
the street car company did all in its power
10 relieve the congested condition at the
park, and many think that criticism is un-
lust and in-adVised.
