oYsrERMEN DREAD STAR FISH
Methods Employed in Freeing Beds
from DestroYers.


At this season of the year when oys-
termen have just completed their seed for
next seasons market, much corncern is
manifested in relation to star fish, the
dreaded enemy OF tho oystermen, and
one which destroys millions of young BIZ
valves every year, says a special from
Freeport, i. l.. to The St. Louis Repub-
lie. To persons unacquainted with the
oysters industry the star fish is merly the
object of curiosity. To the oystermen,
however. the odd looking sea denizen with
its numerous suckers" is regarded with
fear. for there is no living enemy of the
oyster that Is so destructive and ruinous.
Constant watching Is necessary on the
part Of the planters that the star fish do
not get foothold on the bed, particular
ly when seed Is young and when there
is any sign Of them in the bays constant
dredging is necessary to save the bivaIves.
Frequently the oyster men protect the
beds from the ravages of the stars by
planting a wide border of mussels about
the beds. as the star fish are fond of mus
sells and will not pass over them to reach
the oysters. but eat their way through
While this engaged the oyster men get a
chance to dredge them up before they
reach the beds. In various sections of
the Great South Bay and other parts of
the Atlantic Coast a number of natural
oyster beds have disappeared in recent
years. as a result It is believed. of the
ravages Of the star fish Not only do oys-
ters and mussels fall a prey to the star
FISH, but CLAIMS as well. The clam starts
to throw its set about the same time as
the star fish and the latter show a liking
for the young she'll fish before they are
a week old.
The stars have a wonderful devastating
capacity among CLAIMS. Experiments
made by Professor Meade show that In a
week one star devours more than fifty |
CLAIMS. At this rate 500 stars would de- |
YOUR 5000 claims in a week.

Bill in equity to have deed Of assign
ment declared fraudulent and void.
Appeal from the Chancery Court OF
Lauderdale
/. Creditors bill to declare void deed OF
assignment; to what property Hen at

OF bill by q creditor without a lien. for
the purpose Of setting aside a conveyance
by his debtor. upon the ground Of fraud,
attaches only to the property embraced
in the fraudulent deed or conveyance. and
does mot attach to any property excepted
from the operation Of said deed.
O. Fraudulent conveyance; deed of as
signment to be void must be fraudulent
in its inception.-To declare deed OF
assignment void by reason OF fraud, 1t
must be shown that fraud entered into
the assignment at the time Of Its execu-
ton, since no subsequent acts OF the
party can invalidate an assignment; and.
therefore, in deed Of assignment made
by creditor for the benefit Of his
debtors. was in in Its inception bona fide
and free from fraud, collusive acts OF the
grantor and assignor subsequent to its
execution will not render such deed
void.
g. Deed Of assignment; not fraudulent
by excepting therefrom homestead Of
grantor.--A deed of assignment In which
the grantor conveys all Of his property
of every kind and description except his
home stead in which he now resides is
not rendered fraudulent by reason Of
such exception. Such exception Is not
such reservation Of beneht to the debtor
as avoids conveyance by him.. and by
such exception the homestead is not con-

the creditors of the grarftor Just as 1t was
before the making Of the deed Of assign
