Clyde C. James. The ceremony was
performed by Rev. w. j. Peacock,

presence of about 40 relatives and
immediate friends of the contracting
parties. After the marriage vows had
been taken hearty congratulations and
best wishes were extended to the
bride and groom. A dainty two

the honored guests by the members

Leslie was leader. The bride is we'll

IMPROVEMENT PLANS.

The directors of the Denison I'm
provement Co. met on Thursday even
ing and decided unanimously to go
ahead with the erection of the opera
house. The committee was ordered
to continue the solicitation of stock
and it is hoped that several thousands
more will be subscribed, as the opera
house fund is short if suitable
building is to be erected. Several
business men indicated last year that
they would subscribe for this stock
and there is every reason to believe
that they will make good their word.
After the purchase of the site there
is about $4,000 on hand for building
purposes. This fund should be in
creased to SIS. 900 if Denison is to
have a satisfactory opera house.
Architect Barber was instructed to
present different plans for building
together with estimates of cost. He
expects to be able to report in two
weeks. The directors realize the value
of time in utilizing the good building
season and it is to be hoped that no
unnecessary delays will occur.

that a posse of Honduran soldiers need
ed mule in their business. and they
got possession of one near by or per-
haps beyond the Nicaraguan border.
and the took it away with them. The
owner of the mule complained to the
minister of the interior or the exter-
Tor. and he wrote note to the Hon
duran minister of state. demanding
the return of the mule. The Honduran
dignitary replied that the mule be-
longed to Honduran refugee from

MED each and every allegation of the
Honduran chap. and the two sasseo

The history has progressed to the
time when Jacob received the bless

led to fly from the wrath of his
brother Esau, who vowed he would
kill him. Jacob was directed both by
his father and mother to go to the
home of her brother Laban, and there
find wife among his kinsmen. He
starts with but his staff in his hand
and night coming on. lies down to
sleep with some stones for pillow.

HAMILTON OF oDEBOLT ON
GAME LAWS

Within the past two weeks num-
Der of respectable citizens of this and
adjoining counties have been arrested
on a charge of illegal fishing in
Storm Lake.
The alleged offense was committed
prosecution that there was only a
technical violation of the law. Here
are the facts:
A number of men. all of them good
citizens. went to Storm Lake to
seine for carp and buffalo. They
had permit from the fish warden and
they took no other fish than the kind
allowed by law to be captured. The
law. however. provides that deputy
warden must be with every party
using seines while so engaged. One
was with the entire party at the
start. 1t happened that the fishermen
divided into two squads and one fished
short distance from the other. They
supposed that the warden could keep
track of both. They captured no game
fish and when they were through came
home. Nothing was said about any
violation of law.
Recently deputy warden from
Storm Lake came providing around
and informed the fishermen that they
had violated the law. He readily
secured the names of the parties, and
they have been compelled to go to
Storm Lake and pay extortionate
fines. One worthy young man was fined
$3.50 and costs. Mind you, his only
crime (if crime it was) was fishing
a few yards too far away from a fish
warden. 1t was not alleged that he
had violated the law in any other
particular. And half of that $3.50
went to a contemplate informer. a
skunk who hangs around Storm Lake
for the purpose of extorting blood
money from honest men who are trap
ped into technical violations of the
law. Months after the offense is COM
mitted these sneaking wretches file
information and the victims are
brought before a Storm Lake Dog
berry who prostitutes justice every
time he pronounces sentence. A lot
of dirty scoundrels around Storm
Lake are making their living by trap
ping innocent visitors into violating the
law. There is a big graft and the
n,onev ic divided
The Storm Lake newspapers have
quit publishing reports of these cases.
They are ashamed to let it be known
that such nest of grafters exists in
that town.
Any law that gives half the pen
atty to the informer is vicious in the
theory and abominable in operation.
1t encourages Matchmaking and pro-
notes perjury. The fish and game law
Of this state is farcical in operation

still greater graft if it is enacted into
law. 1t should be beaten; and the
provision of the statue which gives
the info.mer share of the fine should
be repealed. -Odebolt Chronicle.
