A peculiar defect in the laws OF
South Dakota and Iowa prevents the
extradition of woman accused of
sending poisoned candy through the
msils to . young lady who died from
eating 1t. Governor Cummins, Of
Iowa, in passing on the case, said {;
"Under the federal statute, rs con-
strued by every recent decision OF the
supreme court of the United States,
and by an older case in our own su-
preme court, l have no authority
whatever to extradite Mrs. Dye. The
holdings in these opinions are clear
and explicit to the. effect that to war
rant extradition the person accused
must have been personally in the state
where the crime was committed and
fed therefrom after the commission
of the crime. Mrs. Dye was not in
South Dakota, and therefore could net
have fed from that state" Steps will
be taken to Immediately amend the
law, and then the intricate question
of whether or not it can be retroactive
will come up.

Days Fishing That Went Smoothly

Poor Results of Effort Made to Kill

THE funniest thing ever saw

by the name OF Runpels," said the
Southdown drummer the other day. u
was tied up with cigar man and a
corset agent at his layout one Sunday.
and there being nothing else to do we
walked out to one Of those prairie
bitches to see If we could club few
buffalo fish. You see. these fish are
big fellows, and they wallow in the
Shiny bitches where the water Is
sometimes not more than a foot deep.
The fishermen pull of part of their
wearing apparel, get club, wade into
the water, and maui the fish to death.
Now 1t happens that those bitches
are also full Of muskrats, there being
about as many of them as there are
OF the fish. Wen, that Sunday old
Runnels and the other three of us
went out to one of the bitches. We
got rid of part of our clothing and
waded in. | succeeded in killing one
fish, and the corset agent caught a big
mud turtle. but the cigar man and old
Runnels hadn't got thing.
Finally the cigar booster yelled to
old Runnels TO watch out. He had
started a big one. Runnels braced
himself as the fish swan up stream.
its fins cutting the water like a sub
marine boat. He took horrible
swipe at the buffalo, but missed it.
Then he started chasing it, and he
finally ran 1t into a hole In the side
Of the bank. just beneath the surface
of the water.
"The old man yelled that he had
us piked up to the place. Runnels
rolled up his sleeves and stuck his
arm into the hole All at once he let
out yell that would have scared a
ComaDche to death. He tried to jump
backward. but his feet were stuck In
the mud. He doubled up again and
tried to jump, and that time he sat
down in the water, which struck him
at the chin. His long whlskers kind
o. floated down stream. and he kept
yelling and pulling.
well, sir, the corset agent and my
self got in and lifted the old man up.
and as he came out of the mud and
water he held the fish by the tail. But
there was also something holding him.
big muskrat had him by one thumb,
and wouldn't let go any more than a
swapping turtle would.
"Old Runnels kept yelling that he
was killed. and | told him to stand
still till the corset agent could kill the
muskrat. The agent steadied himself.
raised a club, and brought 1t down
kerwhack But he didn't lift the
muskrat at all. The club landed on
old Runnels' good hand, and peeled
abou, three square inches of skin on

"Just then the animal let go and
dropped into the water. Old Runnels
held on TO the fish. and we got him out
and back 10 the hotel in time TO sam
pie 1t for supper. When went back
a month later the old man still had his
hand tied up, but what do you think
he said? He asked me IL didn't want
to go out and try 1t again. II was
funny enough to repeat, but I didn't
want to risk taking Runnels' part Of
the fun. Chicago Inter Ocean.

ALDERMEN
MEET
The Automatic Gate Question
Comes up Again.
Efforts to Be Made to Secure Action
in Increasing Fire De-
partment.
WILL BE BOUGHT UP TONIGHT

The board of aldermen meets this
evening at the city hall, and an effort
will be made to put on n definite font
ing the matter of increasing Padu-
cab s fire protection, The council has
done nothing, but the board of alder
men, it is understood, will try to be
more energetic.
The ordinances for the establish
ment of gates at some OF the railroad
crossings will come up again this
evening for final passage, but it is not
known what their fate will be. 1t is
probable that some Of them will be
defeated, as it is generally accepted
that no automatic gates are needed at
some OF the crossings. The ordinances
have been passed once, and when they
are finally disposed of in the board of
aldermen tonight, will go to the coun-
Gil for action.
The board OF aldermen will proba-
bly, not act furthe r in the matter OF
abolishing the Office Of milk and meat
inspector. The council has refused to
pass the ordinance, but four or five
members were in favor of abolishing
it, and they may unite with the alder
men when an attempt is made to elect

DIR. PelIegrin and Architect Petit. Of

which pass the supply and waste pipes.
A gas engine moves the platform. which
may be harnessed to clockwork. The
elockwork may be so arranged ss 70
