That Gopher Bounty.

A bounty law passed by the last
general assembly is causing our county
auditor considerable trouble these days.
A law was passed providing that from
the general fund of the county a bounty
not exceeding ten cents should be paid
for each pocket gopher caught and
killed in the county, on proof Of the de-
struction of such animal within thirty
days after its destruction. This part
of the law is generally understood, but
not so the fact that the law does not
go into effect until July 18th, and as a
result the auditor receives frequent re-
quests for bounty money on the little
animals. Also before any bounty
money can be paid out, the sum to be
paid must be fixed by the Board of
Supervisors, which will probably be
done at their June session.

'Longshoremen's Strike Serious.
New York, May A strike Of
'longshoremen at the docks of the
Bush company and along the water
front in Brooklyn, which has been in
progress for several days, assumed Sc
rious proportions Friday when 5000
men went on strike In Brooklyn alone.
Most of these men have been en-
ployed on the docks of the Bush COM
pany, which extend from Thirty-ninth
to Fftieth street, Brooklyn. and the
work OF unloading and loading many
OF the tramp freight steamers which
have their terminals at these docks is
reported to be seriously interrupted.
Efforts have been made by the COM
panies to put new men in the place Of
the strikers, but this has so far given
little relief. Hundreds of men who
had quit work were hanging about the
docks in South Brooklyn Friday wait
Ing for the new men to make their ap-
pearapce when it was feared there
would be clash. The police reserves
are on duty along the water front and
are prepared to deal with any out
break.
The strikers demand an increase in
wages from 25 cents to 80 cents an
hour for day work and from 25 cents
to As cents for night work

night. His body was found Saturday
upon the arrival of the Morse, hidden
behind pile of chairs at the extreme

body was found an envelope addressed
to THE Coroner of New York" and
in this We're found two letters, one to
the coroner and the other to Huffcutt's
sister, Miss Lillian Huffcutt, of this
city. Later Gov. Hughes identified the
body as that of his legal adviser.
Huffcutt boarded the Morse at Al
bany Friday evening. AS soon as the
boat started down the river he went
to his stateroom. The appearance of
the room indicates that he lay for a
time on the couch. He appeared in
the main saloon shortly before mid
night and was seen later on the upper
| deck pacing back and forth in the rain.
There was gale blowing up the
valley of the Hudson and the rain was
falling in torrents. No one heard the

manned undiscovered for some time

the passengers had gone ashore.

Gov. Hughes was greatly affected by
