Manchester, July 24-The Delaware
county Jail in this city resembles
somewhat the appearance of an ltal-
restaurant or hotel, since yesterday,
when twenty seven sons of sunny
Italy were brought to this city from
Oneida Junction, seven miles north OF
here. and incarcerated in the county
bastfle. charged with violating the
game laws of Iowa.
The gang Of foreigners have been
employed for several weeks past on the
section crew Of the Chicago Great
Western railroad. and according to
popular rumor have acquired an In
satiabie appetite for quail, pigeons and
other succulent denizens of the feath-
cred tribe. These birds, it is alleged,
the dagoes have been slaughtering by
the wholesale without any regard
whatsoever TO the state laws. which
makes the shooting or killing of quail
out Of season serious oifense.
Early yesterday morning Deputy
Game Wardens Harry Barneir of Du-
buque, A. NJ. Green of Sioux City n.

back on the late train the entire outfit
of Italians employed along the line at
that place.
1t was too late to give the fellows
hearing when the train arrived last
night, so they were locked up in Jail
until this morning. when they were
given a preliminary hearing.
None Of the men can speak word of
English, altho there is one fellow in the
crowd that Is acting as interpreter for
the crowd, 1t seems that the foreign
ers hire out to the railroads thru some
fellow in Chicago, to whom they send
all OF their wages, and who in turn
sends the money to their homes in
Italy, after deducting his commission
for the trouble. The dagoes put such
implicit faith in this middleman that
they have refused to enter any plea
until he can get here from Chicago,
and the preliminary hearing this
morning resulted in nothing more than
bringing the prisoners to the justice
court and taking them back to the jail
The game wardens took several guns
and number of stilettos away from
various members of the gang, and all
of the wardens were heavily armed
while dealing with their prisoners.
