BAIT FOR SUNFlSH.
One Mans Method of Going Fishing
with His Boots.

with His Boots.
There is about as much sport in
catching the big sunfish as in hitting
out the crappie if you can get the
former in one of it's savage moods.
Picker is a great CRATER on sunfish.
He has got "A dozen different kinds of
bait, but he says that it is all nonsense
to trouble about digging worms. BE
declares that beef run through ham

caper for the sunfish at Crcve CRur

as it will cut in long strips like angle
worms
when the sunfish are biting right
smart. il is about all that can do to be
kept in the shop" said Picker. Il be-
lieve me and the sunfish are the most
cheering things out. Do you know, L
have noticed old time fishermen at
Breese's lake wading around in the
shallow water. where the sunfish are
found at spawning time. as carefully
as If they were fishing for trout. Now,
Ii IS different with me when l go out
with my hamburg steak to feed the
golden bellled beauties on. / just tie
the line to each leg of my boots, take
little short rod In my hand and stride
into tine water and go ahead. On the
bootleg lines l use red flies. Why. the
sunfish come up and get stuck on my
fly hooks three or four ut time. That's
the way to catch a mess of fish in a
few hours.
Il can catch crappie with crawfish
tails to beat the band if l cannot get
minnOws. Crickets are great suntish
and bass bait while the katydids will

night. Just let your hook sing once
with n green katy on, and if there
is a crappie within a radius of
10 or 10 feet il will come like
n hound at n coursing match. If
you get no bite, You can pull your
freight up a few car lengths and try

pie last week with craw tails. L could
get no minnows for love or money, so
1 chased up some crawiish and went
in to win. When il comes to catfish

ASSOCIATE DISEASES.


In curing an ailment of any kind
never fail to remove all reflex compli-
cations of associate diseases. In case
of Varicocele, the weakness caused by
it disappears. If it is structure and
has developed into Prostate, Bladder
or Kidney affections, the injured or
gans are ali restored to perfect
healthy condition. If it is Syphilis.
any and all skin, blood and bone dis
eases arising from the faint are en-
tirely and permanently eliminated
from the system. II it is impotency,
the many distressing symptoms fol-
lowing in it's train and Indicating pre-
mature decline of the so called physi-
cal, mental, sexual powers are totally
removed and rapidly replaced by the
youthful energy of robust manhood.
Hence all resulting ills and reflex
complications which may be properly
termed associate diseases and which
in fact are often more serious than
the original ailments that give rise to
them-all, say, disappear COM
pletely and forever with the cure of
the main malady.

United States Marshal Grimshaw was

In effect that Mr. Grmshaw woald trans
fer his office from St Paul to the Mill
City; that he would be magnanimous
enough to leave deputy in S.. Paul:
that he had never had a commissioner in
Minneapolis and that when man is ar
rested for violating the federal statutes
he must be taken to st. Paul for a hear

TRUTH said Mr.. Grfmshaw, who called

making the statement.

WOUNDS WERE FATAL
EDWARD ROONEY DIED AT THE
CITY HOSPITAL LAST
NIGHT
HIS ANTE-MoRTEM STATEMENT
Claimed He Beat u Wheel Run by
HeaIy--L2tter's Friends Deny
This story and De-
fend Him.

Edward Rooney died at the city hos
pital at 10:S0, o'clock last night. His
death was due to a bullet wound in the
abdomen inflicted by Edward Healy in
fight on the Jackson street wharf early
yesterday morning, as was reported in
yesterdays G. 90 e. Rooneys mother
was the only relative at his bedside when
he expired. A brother arrived two min
utes after he had died. Coroner A. w.
Miller was called and decided that an
autopsy would be held this morning.
The remains will then be sent to Duluth
for burial.
Healy was arraigned in police court
yesterday morning and given centinu-
ance until Monday. He has retained At
torney D. w. LAWYER to defend him.
Healy had a great many visitors at the
Jail all day yesterday and he seemed
quite unconcerned. When informed of
Rooney's hopeless condition he expressed
regret. He had previously been eau
toned against talking by his attorney,
and very little could be gotten from him.
Rooney's ante-mortem statement to
Assistant County Attorney O'Neil and
Capt. Clark threw a different light on the
events leading UP to the tragedy. Roo
ney said that Healy and Harry Bernard,
a waiter, were operating a wheel Of for
tune on the boat that was crooked, and
which he and his friends understood well
enough to beat. They played and won
so continually that the men in charge
refused to let them play any longer.
The refusal resulted in a dispute and
quarrel which did not prove serious
When they left the boat HeaIy and an
other man. whom Rooney did not know,
engaged in a fight. He endeavored to
separate them, but as soon as Healy re-
gained his feet he began shooting
Louis Kantrowich, the other victim,
aid that he witnessed the shooting and
started after Healy when he ran up
Jackson street. When at least 100 feet
away Healy turned and fired into the
crowd, the bullet striking Kantrowich.
A number of the walters questioned
by the G. o denied that Healy was
operating a wheel of fortune or that
there was even a wheel on the boat
They said that the fight first started by
Healy's breaking up a Crap" game in
which Rooney and Pete Conley former
West side saloonkeeper, were playing
The men promised to stop, but half an
hour later We're still playing. With con-
siderable ire Healy stopped the game,
and Rooney and Conley and his friends
became troublesome. They also say that
Healy did not carry a revolver but when
it was seen that fight was coming when
the boat landed, Healy's friends per-
suaded him to take a gun that was In
the crowd. He took it. remarl1ing: IT
won't use it until I have to-" Some Of
his friends endeaVored to persuade him
to stay on the boat until the crowd had
gone, but he Insisted on leaving at once.

KEEP OFF THE GRASS"
ORDNANCE BEING PREP AIRED no
PROTECT BOULEvARDS

Keep Off the Grass" signs will be
numerous in St Paul if an ordinance
now being prepared Is given favorable
consideration by the council at it's nexr
meeting. The ordinance is being pre-
pared at the instance of the Women's
CIVIC league and the park board and
contemplates restrictions that win pre-
vent dissertations of the bouIevards on
Summit avenue and other residence
streets.
Inc ordinance which is now practical
~ ready for the council prohibits tne
dumping of garbage on grass plots anG
also the habit which some people have
of using them as a means of reachino,
walks.
Literally the ordinance prohibits walk
ing or playing on the grass plots in anv
manner, but residents viii in all nroha-
bility look upon this as an infrinoe-
ment of their rights and it will receive
scant observance. Along the residence
streets the boulevards are in large
measure Fairgrounds for the children
and it will be hard to keep them off.

Now that the Younger brothers have

Wdlng them with suitable ! EMPLOYMENT
outside the prison, but is constantly be-
sleged by crowds who wish to see them
or to learn when they are to be released
Every day since the parole was granted
large crowds have gone to Saltwater by
rail or electric cars or in carriages. and
the streets about the prison have been
thronged. There are newspaper CORE
spondents from Kansas City Omaha st.
Louis and Chicago, as well as a number
from the Twin Cities, eagerly waiting
for the time to come when the celebrated
prisoners shall be led forth from the
scene of their long confinement There
is every prospect, however, that they
will be deprived of an opportunity to
graphically describe the scene, as the
warden has declared that he will remove
the Youngers without any parade, and
without the knowledge of the newspa-
per men. This he has every chance to
do, as the prison yard has many differ
ent means of egress, and although the
reporters closely watch the buildings in
relays, it would be a very simple matter
to elude them. There are railroad tracks
running into the prison yard for the ship
ment of Irvine and other products of the
factories, and the prisoners might be
taken from the enclosure in an empty
freight car without any person on the
outside being any the wiser.
Warden Wolfer still maintains that the
Youngers will not leave the prison until
definite employment is secured for them.
Their departure is looked for tomorrow
by some.
