Game Warden Reinardy Notified That
Game Laws Are Being Violated
in Kenosha County.
THOUSANDS OF FISH FOUND DEAD
Old Scheme of Using Lime Bottle Results
In the killing of Fish and Arrests Will
BE Made In the Next Few Days

Game Warden Charles Reinardy
Monday night received a notice from
farmers residing in the towns of
Salem and Bristol that hundreds of
fish in the inland lakes and rivers of
Keuosha county we're being killed
nightly by dynamiting, The game
warden, with a number of assistants,
left for the lake regions Monday night
and expects to be able to capture some
of the law breakers during the next
few nights.
The violations of the law have been
going on for several weeks and it is
claimed that the banks of the O'Plaine
river as well as the shores of many of
the smaller lakes are simply covered
with dead fish. Few of the fish killed
by the explosion are of any use to the
fisherman and their carcasses are left
to rot on the banks of the river.
The old schemes which were pre-
vented by law years ago have been
called into use again and the Cline
bottle bomb" is being used. The plan
is to take a bottle holding about a
quart and fill it hall full Of slack lime;
on top of this is poured small amount
Of water and the bottle is sealed and
thrown into the creek or lake. The
lime begins to slack and in few mo-
ments theIbottle is broken and an ex-
plosion occurs. This explosion is
sufficient to stun the fish for many rods
from the scene of the explosion and
they come toitle surface of the water.
While the fish are floating on the SUR
face the men put out in boat and
gather up,such of them as are large
enough for eating purposes and the re-
mainder of them are left to pollute the
waters. With this form of fishing the
lakes and rivers of the county would
be cleaned out of the supply of fish in
a few weeks. The small and large fish
suffer alike and less than one fifth of
the fish killed in the explosion are re-
moved from the water. Many that are
taken out are thrown on the banks and
allowed toydecay.
This practice has been carried to
such an extent in the town of Salem
that farmers claim to have heard hun
dreds of explosions nightly and the
streams are rapidly being depopulated.
Several of these lakes and streams
were recently stocked with bass and
pickerel but it is probable that the con-
tinued ravages of the illegal fishers
have pretty well killed off the young
FISH and it will be years before the
streams can'abe stocked up again.
Game Warden Reinardy is camping
on the trail of the violators of the law
and will spend the remainder of the
week in making an effort to locate
them.

MILK MEN TO COMBINE.
Movement Started to Form Combination of
Milk Dealers In Kencsha County.

Movement Started to Form Combination of
Milk Dealers In Kenosha County.
A significant movement has been
started among the milk dealers in
kenosha which is expected in the near
future to result in the union of all the
dealers in the city into a combination
for trade purposes. The movement is
the outgrowth of the recent organiza-
ton among the dealers in the lacteai
fluid and if the plans are carried ont
the organization will in the near fu-
ture control the entire milk supply of
the city and county, and will regulate
prices at its own will The movement
now on hand is to merge all the milk
routes in the city and county into one
great organization, controlled by
central Office. Furthermore, the plan
provides for the purchase of a dairy
farm somewhere near the city, to be
owned by the association, and from
which all milk sold in the city and
county will be delivered. There are
twenty-eight milk dealers in the city
and while some of them are opposed to
the trust idea large majority of the
leading dealers have consented to en-
ter the combine.
The number of wagons on the streets
would probably not be reduced in any
way, but the entire supply would be
furnished by the one company, and all
dealers would carry uniform quality
of milk and sell it at a uniform rate.
During the summer months many of
the dealers have great deal of trouble
securing milk for delivery in Kenosha
and on this account the quality of the
milk is often exceedingly poor. With
the milk being supplied from central
depot the quality would at least be
uniform if not vastly better than thar
now supplied in the city.
Of course the combination would
have the right to regulate the price at
which the milk is sold and it is prob
able that some increase would be noted
in the price of the commodity as soon
as the trust gets into working order.
The plan OF forming a union of all
companies has been tried in other
counties and it is claimed that it
worked with success both for the milk
dealer and for the customer.
Several of the milk dealers are en-
thusiastic over the plan and meeting
will be called in the next few days to
make the present organization more in
keeping with the trust idea. In the
meantime the housewife can get ready
to pay larger milk bills.

WANTS INVITATION RECALLED

riIty Year RESIDENT Objects to the In

Editor OF EVENING NEWS.
note in your issue of last week =
can Tor the annual Old Settlers picnic
OF henosha County to be held at Pad
COCKS Lake August 10th, and that the
Governor will discuss live questions of
state legislation at such meeting. Said
call IS issued by the secretary of the
association.
Is It possible that the annual picnic

ing counties IL memory of the grand
Ola patriarchs-some living, and the
many who have passed over the river
who suffered the hardships of pioneer
life on the western shores of Lake
Michigan, making it possible for those
mat followed to reap the benefits of
their labor, is to be turned into a poli-
tical pow-wow?
BY whose authority has the Honor
able Governor of this great common
wealth been invited to discuss cues
tions OF state legislation? Or is it pos
siole that IN accepting an invitation
ne was so blinded by his ambition for
political advancement that he would
not accept the invitation unless
allowed to do so? If such is the case
and the day is to be desecrated by the
the discussion of political questions
then he had better withdraw the ac-
ceptance of the invitation.

composed of all parties and of all fac
tons in said parties, should be con-
Quoted along the lines on which it was
organized, and think nothing could
occur that would do away with the
deep interest we all have in those an
nual gatherings more than to allow
such questions to be brought no.
believe that ninety per cent of the
residents of the county are opposed to
it. The Governor may feel, when dis
cussing political questions down in
New York, that the liberties of the
people of Wisconsin are menaced. We
feel that Kenosha County as capable of
taking care of herself without the dis
cussion of political questions at such
gatherings.

BY decision handed down by Judge
Belden in the Circuit Court at Racine
Monday afternoon, fac Chicago, Ke-
nosha &nMi1waukee Electric Railway
company is giver che right to redeem
their right of way which was recently
sold under mortgage. The small
strip of property affected by the deci-
sion is situated just north of the viii
lage of Winthrop Harbor, and consists
of strip of land a half mile long and
hundred feet in width.
This parcel Of land was the only por-
ton of the right of way that is not
now in the keeping of the company.
By the terms of the decision trustees
will be appointed to reckon the equity
of the company in the strip of land,
and the company will be forced to pay
this amount to the parties who recent
ly purchased the property at a Sheriff S
sale. There is some objection to the
decision of the Court, and it is prob
able that the case will be appealed to
the higher courts for settlement.

DECIDES AGAINST DICKHAUT.
Judge Belden Permanently Enioins Ke-

Judge Bolden permanently En1Oln8 A0-
nosha Architect From Practicing.
In the circuit court at Racine Mon
day afternoon Judge E. B. Belden
handed down a decision in which he
practically prevents c. A. Dickhaut
from doing any business as an archi-
tect in Kenosha county until after 1905.
The action was brought by 7. Gaas.
ira another Kenosha architect and
former partner of Dickhaut. Gaastra
recently secured temporary injunc-
ton against Dickhaut on the grounds
that one of the agreements of the set
Element of the partnership between
the two men was that Dickhaut was
not to go into business again until
after FIVE years. It is now claimed
that heswas employed in the superin-
tending of the new plant for the
Thomas B. Jeffrey Company.
Judge Belden has held the injunc-
ton permanent and Dickhaut must
give up his present work or else fight
the case in the higher courts.
1t is probable that the case will be a
hard fought one as Dickhaut and
Gaastra are both determened to fight
to the bitter end.

STRANGE WRECK SIGHTED
Life Savers Go Out Sunday and Find q
Strange Craft Floating South.

Strange Craft Floating South.
Sunday morning shortly before
eleven O'Clock the lookout of the life
saving crew sighted strange craft in
the lake off Kenosha, and as it appear
ed that there was man hanging on
the craft, the members of the crew
manned the life boat and went out
after the wreckage. When the crew
came to the floating wreck it was
found to be couple of boards which
had been fitted up with sail made o.;
piece of old carpet. There was no
one on the wreckage but it is thought
that it had been tenanted.
The wreck had drifted from the
north and was floating at the rate Of
five miles an hour when it was discov-
cred by the look out. While it is
possible that the craft was fitted up by
boys and set ahoat there seems to be
reason to believe that it had carried =
passenger and that the passenger who
ever he was, sunk in the lake before
he was found by the members of the
life saving crew. 1t is thought posi-
BILE that the old craft was the one
which was used by couple of burglars
to escape from Lake Side on last Tues
day and that it has been floating in
the lake ever since that time.
As there was no one on the old craft
| it was allowed to float toward the
southwark and it will probably be
picked up by some crew farther to the
south.
There was nothing on the wreckage
which would indicate where it came
from or to whom it had belonged.
The report that the life saving crew
had gone out to rescue man clinging
to sinking craft, drew large crowd
to the harbor and the people watched
the expedition of the life savers with a
great deal Of interest.

SELECT MYGATTaPRoPERTY.

Government has Selected Washington Is
land as new Site for Life Saving Station.
The secret of the government IN
regard to the new location of the Ke-
nosha Life Saving Station has been
solved and it is now stated that the
site selected for the location is directly
opposite the Baldwin coal docks about
sixty yards fromEthe end of the harbor
piers The property in question is
''made" land and its ownership is
claimed by the Mygatt heirs. The city
also has title to a portion of the land
selected. 1t is probable that the gov
eminent will be able to get possession
of the property at minimum expense
as it is of little value for any other
uses.
1t will be an easy matter to move
the station from the present site to the
one selected by thengovernment as the
old station can be placed on a barge
and towed to the new location.
The present site sof the station is
owned by z. G. Simmons and he has
allowed the government to use it rent
free for many years.
1t is expected that the engineers of
the government will be in Kenosha in
short time to make the arrangements
for changing the location of the
station. There is little reason to be-
lieve that new station will be built
at this time but considerable money
will be spent improving the old station.

ONE LONE MAN A CREW.

Capt. Eilers Pilots the 'Romulous" Through,
Murky Weather to Kenosha.
There is only one schooner on the
lake that has crew consisting of just
one man, and that is the schooner Ro-
mulous, of North Muskegon, Mich.
Her crew consists of Captain Eilers,
one of the oldest men in the lake ma
rine service, and he owns and sails the
boat unassisted.
Captain Eilers and his schooner
came into Kenosha Sunday with a
cargo of wood, which he had brought
all the way from Frankfort, Mich. The
captain struck no end of rough wea-
Their during his voyage across the lake,
but he managed to get through the
storm without losing even "a chip of
the cargo. The wood will be sold 10
Kenosha.

SEVERED AN ARTERY.
Harold Weisung Six Year Old Boy Mar.
rowIy Escaped Bleeding to Death.

Harold Wiesung a six year old lad
narrowly escaped bleeding to death
Monday evening as result Of the cut
ting of an artery in his foot. The boy
with number of companions had
gone swimming IN the lake and while
playing along the beach the Wiesung
boy stepped on piece of broken glass.
The cut penetrated to the bone and
severed one of the large arteries of the
right foot. The wound bled so pro-
fusely that physician was summoned
and the boy almost bled to death
before the wound could be sewed up.
Boys swimming in the lake should
remember that the1beach along the
city property is pretty well flied up
with broken glass which is liable to
cause them to meet with the same sort
of accident as has laid young Wiesung
| up for several weeks.

my dear niece, 1 observed that you were
in fair way to become a bore. Now a
bore, you must know, is a person who
talks about Ierself when the rest of us
desire to talk. about ourselves To become
a thorough-gs,ing bore requires only that
you shall never under any circumstances,
talk about ans one except yourself. Regale
the casual caller with minute account of
the perfectly killing experiences you have
had with this man and that, dwelling at
length upon ihe number of your admirers
and the depth of their devotion to you.
Such details as the trimming of your new
frock, how OFTEN you wash your hair and
what your hressmaker said about your
figure are sure TO be of interest to your ac-
quaintances. BE sure and tell what Charley
or Jack saidtto you on the stairs. What
Tootsey said ito Wootsey always appeals TO
outsiders. a good time to practice at be-
ing bore is at dinner, when the man can't
get away. Is, in spite of your endeavors,
the conversation gets away from you and
turns, for Instance, upon the singing of
Melba or Calve or the acting OF Maud
Adams, that is your cue to mention what
your singings teacher said about your own
voice and yodr chances of success If only
papa would Jet you go upon the stage If
a poem of Btowning's is talked of, trot out
your own little verses for your friends to
