VIOLATED FISH LAWS.
Results of Prosecutions Near Brook
Ign, Ind.

Constable John Newhouse, who is also a
deputy fish commissioner, returned from
Martinsville, last night, after successfully
prosecuting a number of fishermen who
preferred TO use a seine TO a rod and line
Several weeks ago John NJ. Bailey and his
brother, William Bailey, went fishing near
Brooklyn. They had caught a nice string,
when a party Of men came along with a
seine and scooped out all of the fish. John
Bailey asked them not to disturb the spot
in which he was fishing. but they told him
they would cut his throat. made other
threats and drew their seine through the
place. Mr. Bailey placed the matter in
the hands of Constable Newhouse who in
vestigated and filed affidavits of informa-
ton against Henry Beeler, of Brooklyn,
and Ed Shearer, AL Mueller, Harry Right
Ed Turpin and Ed Buckley, of this city
Beeler entered a plea of guilty TO the
charge OF SEEMING and IL cost him $40. SO.
The Indianapolis men stood trial. which
took place yesterday. The State filed

pass as current coin, they buy goods at the
stores and to all intents and purposes they
are money. They are in various denomina-
lions from l cent to SO. and are made of
wood, copper and various kinds of metal.
Many of the coal companies of that State
will not pay their employees in any other
kind of token. What L would like to know
is, does this currency come under the act
Of Congress levying a 10 per cent. tax on
money Issued by private institutions? 1t
seems that this is money down there, and
why a coal company can do that which a
private bank cannot do 1 would like TO
have explained. This money invokes
great hardship upon the employees of those
coal companies. for when they trade at
private store they must suffer a discount
of at least 10 per cent. upon it."
In reply to this letter Mr.. Sexton re-
ceived the following from Assistant Secre-
tary NJ. z. Allies:
referring TO your letter of the I'd in
slant, enclosing token which is said to
pass current as money In West Virginia,
and asking whether or not such tokens are
upon the circulating notes of all institu-
say that, after some consideration, il has
been decided TO refer the matter TO the
commissioner of internal revenue who will.
no doubt, advise you of his conclusions in
the premises.
Mr. Sexton is anxiously waiting TO see
the outcome OF the investigation. In 1874
he started similar investigation in Penn
sylvania. which cost several coal compa-
MES issuing script money $50, 900 in
taxes and also abolished the medium Of
exchange.

HORSE in A Big SEWER
A STRANGE DISCOVERY MADE BY
ADVENTUROUS BOYS.


Two little boys bent on exploring dry
sewer that opens into Fall creek just east
of Central avenue almost had their wits
frightened out of them last night. Before
they had gone far into the sewer they saw
looming before them weird object that
resembled pictures they had seen of SUI
perba. The boys ran screaming from the
sewer. Men to whom they told their story
were at first incredulous The lads offered
to take them to the mouth of the sewer
and show them the great monster beast"
they had seen. An investigation showed
that there was a horse inside the sewer.
The police station was called and Trimpe
and Lowe were sent TO investigate. They
procured a rope and with the aid of by
ISLANDERS fastened 1t around the horse. They
dragged the animal about ten yards, when
the rope broke and all the men went
tumbnng over each other. Lowe fell be-
meath the others. He did not realize what
had happened He thought the roof of the
sewer had caved in. Another rope was
procured and the horse was dragged out,
1t was so weak il could not stand up. 1t
tried TO walk but could not. The police
men pulled their pistols and shot the ami
NAL No one in the neighborhood knew to
whom the horse belonged. How 1t got in
the sewer is a mystery.

BACKFR0M VIRGINIA
SECRETARY WILSON, OF NINE
WORKERS, MADE A HURRIED TRIP.
He Tells of the Coins That Pass as
Money Among the Coal Miners
of that Region.

Secretary-treasurer W. B. Wilson, OF the
United Mine Workers, yesterday returned
from a hurried trip to West Virginia. He
would not state what called him away.

Gated by the Fairmont Coal Company.
where the strike order was not expected to
be effective and the men are unorganized,
Mr.. Wilson said about one-fourth of the
men are out. The rest of the State is
practically tied Up.
In addition to a demand for shorter
hours, higher wages, the abolition of the
dockage system and semi-monthly pay in
stead OF monthly, the miners are also ask
ing to be paid in United States money in
stead of token of money that is issued by
most Of the coal companies in West Vir-
ginia. Over the field generally the miners
are paid in money token, in denominations
Of pennies. nickels. dimes, quarters. half
dollars. dollars and on up to SO. The
small change is principally made Of pine
and the large denominations of gutta
percha. Copper and a combination of
metals is also used The mine workers are
not only asking relief from accepting this
money of the operators, but have appealed
to the United States government. S. NJ.
Sexton, editor Of the United Mine Workers
Journal, has taken the matter up and is
looking after ii. Recently he wrote the
following letter to Secretary Shaw, of the
Treasury Department:
