Fish Elected by Volcanoes.

The stories of dead fish thrown out

activity is resumed the first thing that
occurs is an explosion that blows the

Dead saloonkeepef.
Sioux City, Iowa. March IA. n The
question OF whether the courts can
grant an Injunction against a dead
man is to come UP for a hearing be-
fore Judge Gaynor in the district
court this week at LIE Mars, Iowa.
Frank Fish, young man in Sioux
county. who began forty Injunction
suits against saloons in Sioux county,
will insist upon the court enjoining
John Wood and Henry Schimmel
from further engaging in unlawful
traffic in intoxicating liquors, although
Wood died ten days ago. The at
torney for Woods estate will claim
that the saloon of Wood & Schimmel
was partnership affair and that the
death of Wood dissolves the partner
ship, hence the court has no authority
to order the Injunction.
