THE HUNTERS LICENSE
Lamentable Ignorance Concerning
Iowa Fish and Game

Among the laws concerning which
there Is a lamentable ignorance are
The ones which have to do with hunt
Ing and fishing in the state of Iowa.
Laws are broken every day Of tho
year throughout pure ignorance. But
recently there have come to light 4
few persons who have erred on the
wrong side. These honest souls have
abstained from hunting until they
could obtain license from the state.
They have applied at various depart
nents to procure this, but have been
h turned down at, each one. The last
legislature did not pass such law,
but one was introduced which caused
all the honest but ignorant hunters
this triuble and worry. Such a law
may. be a far, distant thing. Many of
{ the hunters in thi estate, think that tt
would be- a great thing. So do the
Jack rabbits.
II the users Of the shot gun and the
rife in the state were as wise on the
laws of the state concerning the kill
ing Of the game as they are of the
game itself. the advantages to the
game and TO themselves would be
, great.
r. There are, Of course, some laws
which may not need to be impressed
very firmly on the minds of the fishers
and hunters of the state of Iowa. 1t
is unlawful to. take from the waters
Of the state any salmon between the
first day of November and the first
day of Marc!, But such Il Jaw ar the
one which says that it is unlawful TIC
take from the waters Of the state any
fish eYcent i1ljnnows for hait--,1l1lase
by hook and line, there is a law that
| ought to be written in large letters
on the billboards. There are many
J other things which are unlawful
which ought to be remembered. Here
Is a list OF things which are unlawful
in thu state of Iowa.

spear laying on the ground on the
premises of Michael WEIGH. My grand
father observing us with the spear
recognized 1t as being the same spear
which he had traded to Chief Wapello
when he first come on to the new
purchase in Iowa territory in 1841.
Mr.. Cline also recognized the spear
as seeing Chief Wapello have 1t at
Eddyville In the winter of 1912.
The first part of this statement is
made from my Uncle. Frank Bates,

my presence. When my grandfather

You will observe the spear is made

to Library by Donor Together With Its
History

The spear which was originally the
property Of Chief Wapello and which
was given by G. H. Stevenson of

curious ordinations. The spear is
made Of four pieces of iron ana hns

of the history Of the spear written by
Mr.. Stevenson and which will bs

This spear was made by Charles
Bates and traded to Chief Wapello
for pair of buckskin moccasins and
pants in the spring Of 1841. Charles
Bates with his son, Frank Bates. and
their families came to the state Of
Missouri in the fall Of 1910. The next
spring he and his son, Frank. came
with an OK team to the territory of
Iowa to look at the land on the new
purchase. They crossed the Des
.Moinse river near Keosauqua and con-
tinued to travel up the river in a
northwest direction until they arrived
at the trading post at Eddyyille.
While on this trip coming up the
Des Moines river he met a tribe If
Indians including Chief Wapello. The
Indians were very friendly, and the
trading Of the spear to Chief Wapello
took place.
Upon arriving at Eddyville, Mr.
Eddy,the agent was there and solicited
Charles Bates to lay his land warrant
which the United States government
had given him for services rendered
In the war Of 1872 and 1914 on land
near Eddyville. After remaining al
Eddyville a few days they returned te
their families in the state of Missouri

 MADE HIS ESCAPE Men Met in Narrow Pasageway and Tragedy Was Pulled Ofi in the Twinkle of an Eye-FOurth Killing in County in Three Weeks.
MADE HIS ESCAPE

William Henry Hewlett, negro with an aristocratic name and a bad reputation, stabbed and instant ly killed Ben Pettigrew, another negro, 36 years old at New Gascony, Bogy township, this county yester- day morning at 1 o'clock. The men quarreled about woman. They had been drinking. The murderer escaped and had not been captured by the police up to late hour this afternoon.
 The killing was so quickly done it is said, that those around and within hearing distance of the 5wo men hardly knew that the men were at outs. It occurred in & narrow passageway between John M. Ora. cices' New Gasony store and the sq- loon, which is conducted at New Gascony. The saloon was closed an hour before.

John o. Harrison of This City May Strike It Rich in California if Things Pan Out as Expected.
MODERN MACHINERY
To Be Used-The Newly Acquired Property Is Situated in the Same Channel as the Famous Blue Grav- pl Mine.

The Sacramento (Cal.,) Bee cor respondent at Yreka, California, gives an interesting account of gold mining campaign which John O. Harrison, of this city is fathering and which might result in great wealth for the local citizen.
 The Bee says:
 "A telegram has been received from J. o. Harrison, who recently bonded the race track property, that he will return from the East in a couple of weeks, when it is thought actual operations on the property will be commenced. The old race track is situated on the same chan nel as the famous Blue Gravel Mine which produced we'll for number of years past, and it is thought that this property will be equally as good if not better, than it.
 The Risdon Iron Works have built a combined pump and motor for MT. Harrison, which will be used in this new venture. It is of the latest pattern, and is unlike any thing ever seen here before. It is what is called sink pump, and is placed at the bottom of the shaft, the motor being encased in water proof jacket, at the top of the pump the water coming up through la1 ge pipes on each side of the motor The motor is forty-horse-power, and the pump is guaranteed to raise from 45 to 500 gallons a minute The pump and motor are now read for shipment
 It is the present intention of MT. Harrison to get everything in readiness for business at an early date, so that he can get the water out of the shaft, before the heavy rains set in. When the water is once out, it will be an easy matter to keep it out with this improved machinery. All of the preliminary arrangements are made, and nothing now remains but to get the machin- cry on the grounds and to commence actual operations

WHILE HOLMES
 IS BADLY HURT

The Texarkana Courier has the following account of an accident which befell a Cotton Belt e1nploye who formerly lived in this city and is we'll known here:
 "A special train was operated into the city yesterday evening from Ty- Ter, having on board Conductor Wy lie Holmes, of the Cotton Belt freight service, who was seriously, and perhaps fatally hurt in wreck on the Lufkin branch It is learned that the injured man attempted to escape during a derailment of three cars from the door of the caboose, when he was caught between the timbers and severely crushed in back and breast. All possible speed was made to reach the hospital in this city, the special train reaching here at 11:20 o'clock

an assault charge, engaged in g. quarrel. They were said to infat- uated with the same dusky dam sel and this is what led up to the killing. Hewlett used a large dag ger. He thrust it through Petit grew's heart.
 c. M. Davis and posse of officers and citizens have been after Hew- lett ever since the tragedy, but he has successfully evaded them. The negro is believed to have gone toward the Mississippi river bot toms in his efforts to get away and escape the law.
 This is the fourth killing that has taken place in Jefferson county in the past three weeks and three of these occurred in Bogy township.

in speaking upon divorce and mar be at St. Joseph's church yester-

 |The startling figures of 15O dir lees in Jefferson county every year ces the subject of divorce and mar re upon our attention. It is true t the colored population. of the nty has been generally rated at b-thirds of the whole and the num-
 of divorces among white people y be thus reduced to fifty a year,
 this is a large number. Every orce means an unhappy marriage ] to stop divorces we must begin h stopping unhappy marriages so
 as circumstances will allow.
 If asked how unhappy marriages l be stopped, I should reply that a ge number of them could be avoid
 by the employment of the ordinary hns which the nature of the thing Dgests. This is what every wise sssiacian will do in the treatment of s ailments. If ordinary reme- @Yfail, extraordinary ones will be
 resorted to. The result of this Sctice is that three-fourths of the ictions which distress the human y are cured without having re- rse to anything but the simplest hedies. If young people contem- ting marriage would only employ
 ordinary means at hand to guard &inst an unhappy marriage, they hld in most cases avoid the rocks which so many lives are wrecked. One of the most ordinary and nat J means is the advice of parents ore the engagement to marry. To k advice afterwards is of little Another ordinary means is for the ple to take counsel with their pas
