STOCK LAKE WITH FISH
Government Will Send Shipment Of
Black Bass to Waha

Eben Mounce has been in commune
cation with Senator Dubois for the
past month with view of having the
government stock Lake Waka with
black bass. Mr.. Mounce states that
Senator Dubois took the matter up with
the department at Washington with the
result that he has secured the co-ope-
ration of the department and has been
advised that shipment will soon be
made. Senator Dubois submitted these
facts to Mr.. Mounce who states that 1t
will probably be month before the
fish arrive.
In speaking of the matter yesterday
Mr.. Mounce states that the lake has
been devoid of good fish for some time
past and in view of the fact that each
summer many prominent residents OF
the city spend a great deal of time at
the lake that it was the desire of many
to have the lake stocked. Years ago
trout were plentiful at the lake but in
late years there has been little IL any
fish in the lake and those were of a
poor quality. The news that Lake
Waha will be stocked with the black
bass variety will bring joy to the many
fishermen of this vicinity who are fond
of the sport.

WARNING TO THE CAR
Provincial Assembly Advises Him to

LONDON, Feb. 6.-The Daily Tele-

the text of a remarkably bold address
which has just been voted almost
unanimously by the provincial assem-
bly, Of Kharkoff to Emperor Nicholas.

noblemen and members of the zemstvO,
who were elected during the incum-
bency Of the ministry Of the interior by
M. Won Plehve and who, therefore, are
presumably we'll disposed toward the

The address refers to the horrors of
war, the many reverses and other
clouds hanging over the country, and
declares that "long years Of bureau

science have caused condition of
things that is no longer endurable and
which threatens a storm already Wis

THE GRAND JURY SYSTEM

The recent indictments of men high
In public life again give rise to dis
cussion of the grand jury question. In

and Representative Hermann have been
indicted for alleged completely in the
extensive land frauds and in New York
Abraham Hummell. one of the best
known lawyers in the United States,
has been indicted for alleged completely
in illegal transactions growing out of
the Dodge Morse matrimonial tangle
Not particle of guilt may attach
ito these men after the final disposition
of their cases. yet they will suffer
nearly as much in the estimation of
the public If set free as they would If
convicted. 1t is the old story Of give
a dog bad name and hang him."
Their regulations are ruined.
Several states have abolished the
grand jury system, which is a relic Of
feudalism. and in those states there is
nothing Indicative of miscarriages Of
justice. Other states are giving the
question serious consideration and are
quite likely to do away with grand
juries in the immediate future.
Indictments are returned by grand
juries largely upon the strength Of
testimony presented by the states at
torney. II he can convince grand
jury that person charged with an Of
Tense Is guilty why cannot he take the
same evidence directly before the trial
court and do away with the grand jury
altogether? Let proceedings be by in
formation and let all steps of the prose-
cution be open and public. AS 1t is,
a grand jury is virtually a star cham
Der body and it, has those whom it in
3 diets completely at Its mercy. In some
Instances accused persons are allowed
to appear before the grand jury, but
they are infrequent.
II there is sufficient evidence to con-
vict there il no need of a grand jury.
If there is not sufficient evidence an
indictment by grand jury based upon
that evidence is mapifestly unjust to
the accused.

Outnumbered. Several of the sword
fish would attract his attention in front
while others would steal around to at

great tail was busy failing the whales
back at every opportunity.
The passengers were spell-bound by
the sight and their sympathy was with
the whale. AS the battle continued the
water was dyed a deep red The whale
was terribly gashed in many places by
the swordfish. which moved with speed
and it was able to strike with effect.
Before the ship was cut of sight the
thrasher was disabled, a blow of the
whales tail striking him full on the
head. One of the passengers, who had
strong pair of glasses, said he saw
the whale swim away and that the
swordfish did not follow him.

UNSEEN ASSASSIN
STAYS CHILDREN
TERROR REIGNS IN SECTION OF
SOUTHERN ILLINOIS.
TWO YOUNG BOYS KILLED
Crimes Are Almost Identical AL
though Occurring in Different
Localities - Authorities Mys-
titled by Deaths.

Pomona, Ill-To all intents and pur-
poses martial law reigns in Kinkaid
hills, better known as the Egyptian
Ozarks of southern Illinois, and it is
probable that it would go bad with a
stranger in these parts at this time
who could not give a good account of
himself. The farmers of the region
have FURNISHED up their rifles and
shotguns ana are standing ready to
challenge and give battle to any sus-
picious characters. And there is rea-
son for their action.
Within few weeks two little boys,
so young that they could not have had
enemies who would seek their lives,
and being members of families that
lived several miles apart and had no
differences, have come to their death
in manner that is mys flying to the
authorities, and the circumstances of
which point to murder.
What the good people of the COM
munity seek now is an answer to the
query of whether or not there is a
maniac at large who is seeking the
lives of little children or whether the
deaths of two little ones that have
brought mourning to their respective
homes were the result of accident.
While a diligent investigation is be-
ing made children are being closely
guarded. Twilight finds every one of
them in their homes and daylight finds
them being carefully watched by their
parents.
Heber Northern, aged seven, and
Virgel Eldron Clutts, aged nine, whose
homes are only three miles apart, met
violent and mysterious deaths within
ten days. Both were killed by what
appeared to be the thrust of a keen
knife into the heart, and yet both fell
while their parents were near and no
one was seen to attack them.
The strange feature of the death of
the two boys is that just before each
fell wounded the report of a shotgun
was heard. Who fired these shots is a
mystery yet to be solved. Closely fol-
lowing the reports of the guns the lads
were found wounded, but it does not
appear that in either instance the boys
were wounded by bullets. Both had
wounds which could have been made
only by knife blades. AS there was no
one in sight, the theory has been adj
vanced that some one, maybe for want
of other missiles, loaded his gun with
parts of a knife and killed the chill
dren by accident. There is also the
dread of parents of children in the dis
trict that some one with hatred for lit
tie ones has chosen this method of
killing them.
The Clutts boy was at play in an
open field only short distance from

OCEAN MONSTERS IN
DESPERATE BATTLE.
Whale Fights Several Swordfish and
a Huge Shark - Conflict Wit
messed by Many People.

New York.-An exciting battle royal
between a whale, several swordfish and
a thrasher shark was witnessed by
many passengers of an ocean liner
which arrived in this port the other
day from Liverpool. The fight lasted
nearly an hour.
The combatants were first sighted
one morning. A great disturbance was
noticed in the water dead ahead, about
mile from the ship. Just what the
trouble was was not ascertained until
the ship was within half mile of the
scene of the encounter. Then the pas
sengers saw big whale beset by half
dozen large swordfish and a monster
thrasher shark, the fiercest and most
voracious of his kind. The water was

is on the summit Of Hickory ridge, in
the widest of mountain country.
Here the nine-year-old Eldron Clutts
met his death a week before similar
fate came to Heber Worthen. The
families are not acquainted. There
could have been no comparing of notes,
yet in all essential details their expe-
riences were, the same.
EldrOn was tending COWS in the pas
ture. He was leading a calf His ia
Their was only few yards away and
his mother was in sight.
In this case, too, shot was fired IN
a neighbOring wood. Eldron fell, but
clambered to his feet and ran to his
mother, crying:
Mamma / have hurt myself" In
his hand was an open knife with which
few minutes before he had been
whiting.
Whatever developments may come.
the fact remains that terror pervades
the summit of the Kinkaid ranges and
that the pail will not be lifted until
the mystery surrounding the taking
off of these two little boys is cleared.

FLED IN GARB OF CORPSE
Ter from Convict Settlement
in Guiana.

Paris.-DetailS of the extraordinary
escape from the almost impregnable
French convict settlement in French
Guiana have been disclosed by the re-
capture of Joseph Sporn, swindler,
who, after eight years of liberty, will
soon be on his way back to French Gui-
ana.
The story of Sporn's escape was dra-
matte. SIorn was sentenced in 1896
to eight years at hard labor and 20
years exile for theft. The year after
his deportation to French Guiana he
was cutting rushes by the riverside
close to the penal settlement. He had
gradually wandered out of sight of a
warder, when he saw floating down the
river the corpse of sailor. who he
knew had been murdered by some of
his fellow convicts few days before.
Sporn secured the corpse, changed
clothes and sent it down the stream
again, dressed in his convict garb.
Then he made tracks toward the rivers
mouth. There he saw a small Dutch
steamer. and made desperate signs that
he wanted help.
A boat was put off and he was taken
on board. where, in broken German. he
told the captain that he had been ship
wrecked and wanted to get back either
to Holland or to Dutch Guiana.
Sporn left the ship at Venezuela.
There he made some money in bust
ness. Like all Frenchmen, the tempta-
ton to return to Paris was strong and
he succumbed. He went into business
here and prospered. His methods of
business, however. attracted the atten-
tion of the police. and he was taken
to headquarters to explain. There .
detective recognized him.
