DannGf, November ~, lHuo.
Just as we are going to press, news
of a fatal accident which occurred last
evening is brought to US. John Shank,
a middle-aged farmer whose home is
abou. five miles northwest of this city,
was Ia town yesterday and started for
home about O'Clock last evening. He
was driving a spirited team and in
some way lost a line. Climbing over
the dashboard in order to o it.,
his foot caught and he was dragged
about two miles. His leg was broken,
and he was very badly bruised and
pounded. Two Indians picked up the
unfortunate man and called the neigh
bors, and he was brought to this city
and his wounds dressed. He vas con-
scious, and able to give an incoherent
account of the accident, but his in
iuries were so serious hat he died at
three o'clock this morning.
Some one entered the butcher shop
of John Doyle, in this city, on Sunday
morning last, and in some way sue
ceeded in opening the safe and max
inc way with between three and four
hundred dollars. They worked their
way through 1.-THE back way, through
the ice house, from the rear of the
shop. 1t is presumed to be the work
of some n who is acquainted with
the premises, for they we're next to
the combination on the safe.
Later-A party who is suspected OF
having committed the robbery has
been arrested and lodged in the county
jail. The main evidence of his being
connected with the theft is that he
passed a bill having a mark on it that
was recognized by Mr.. Doyle.

Everybody in town is happy or at

day the pump was put in and from lC
O'Clock a m. until towards night it
was kept going without lowering the
water. 1t is a 10 inch well and the
water is all right for drinking, not
being as hard as in most of the other
wells IN town, and there is plenty OF
it. A telegram was sent to the con,
tractors Thursday and it is highly
probable that work will sooE be re.

FAIR WEATHER TODAY.
Weather Man Says 1t viii Be Little
Colder

Yesterday was cloudy. II day like
yesterday came in the summer time it
would have been very sultry and the air
oppressive. The weather man said it
would be fair. He made a mistake. 1t
was not his fault. The best of us make
mistakes. Then he cast his eye over the
country yesterday preparatory to max
ing his forecast. He did not see any
clouds headed this way. They were not
in sight at that time. 1t was early in the
morning and the clouds hadn't got up
yet.
Today he says il will be fair and cooler.
If snow turning to rain comes early this
morning he will not be surprised, but
the 1urries will be light. The mercury
viii go down a few pegs.
Every barometer in the country reads
high now, except one or two up around
the great lakes. None are high enough
to cause alarm or low enough to make
the weather man guess. They are just
like the temperature in Kansas, moder-
ate except, in Topeka. where the sena-
torial fight is making the people sweat.
The wind is blowing from the south all
over the country and Kansas, Missouri
and Oklahoma are the only sections
where the sun did not shine yesterday.

CATCHING FISH WITH SPEARS.
Fish and Game Warden May Begin
Some Prosecutions.

Yesterday the deputy fish and game
warden was notified that people were
spearing fish below the Central avenue
dam in Little river and there promises to
be some trouble for the culprits.
Just below the dam this fall many fish
have been caught. There were many
large fish in the deep water and much
sport was derived from catching them.
Then some persons when they went f'sf-
ing put pointed iron rods on their poles
and when there was no one looking, in
stead of using their hooks and lines, they
caught the fish by spearing.
This is strictly against the law. but a
good many seemed to think that as long
as they were catching fish for their own
use they could use hook and lines. spears
seines or anything. But the law says
not and the fish and game warden has
announced that he will rigidly prosecute
anyone caught fishing with any device
except hook and line A good deal of
evidence has already been secured against
the offending parties, an 1t was an
nouneed yesterday that several arrests
are likely TO follow at no late date.

When Matter of Ownership

Those index books are in my posses

deeds, to the Eagle yesterday afternoon.
according to the decision of Judge Dale
ago, those books rightfully belong to me.
AS you know, the case has been appealed
to the supreme court and the title to
those books will not be known until the
case comes on for hearing in that tri-
bunal The case has been docketed for
the 9th day of March. and everyone will
be ready for trial at that time.
Judge Dale granted an injunction
against US on the grounds that the con-
tract made between myself and the coun-
ty commissioners Vas illegal. If the
supreme court is of the same opinion
after hearing the arguments and discus
ing the briefs submitted and hands down
an opinion TO that effect. those books
belong to me.
If the supreme court holds that the
contract made for the compilation of
those books was legal and must stand,
the books belong to the county, and in
that event 1 will turn them over TO the
commissioners.
LAS the matter of ownership is unset
tied, / believe that l am the rightful
possessor of those index books until the
question is settled forever. i believe
that l have the right to the custody OF
them until the litigation is ended and
the supreme court decides who owns
them
For that reason I removed the books
to vault for safe keeping, and will re-
tain the custody of them until afIer the
supreme court hands down its decision.
If the court holds that the contract is
legal. 1 will turn them over to the county.
If it was illegal, l will keep them"
These index books have caused consid-
cradle litigation in this county. Some
two years ago the county commissioners
made a contract with Mr.. Kerr. then the
register OF deeds. to bring the index books
of the instruments filed in the regist ar
of deeds office up TO date. Under
state law Mr.. Kerr was allowed to charge
a small sum to pay for this work.
Eighteen books were completed, when
Judge Dale granted an injunction against
the commissioners and Mr.. Kerr which
prevented any further work on the books.
The indexes are not complete. The in
junction was granted on the grounds
that the contract was Illegal, and in this
decision it was stated that under this
condition the books belonged to Mr. Kerr.
An appeal was taken TO the supreme
court and the case will be heard On
March g.
