GRIEF FOR FISHERMAN.
Tale Comes From Emporia of Wagon
Loads of Dead Fish.

Emporia. Kan. April 2S.-The
Gazette says: 1.-THE flood and muddy
water have killed the fish in the
Cottonwood river, said Deputy Fish
and Game Warden Dan MCGOWAN to-
day. Mr.. MCGOWAN said that it was
reported to him that the fish were
killed by dynamite, but after he went
I'M the river for few miles he found
that such was not the case. The
game warden said that above South
Fork. four miles this side of Strong
CITY. there was no dead fish. and this.
he saws. is proof that it was the flood
and muddy water that killed the hsh
mostly cat and buffalo.
Mr.. ImMasche, who owns large
tract of land near SaffordVllle. SAID
he was at the river when the flood
came down the Cottonwood and he
said the four-foOt rise. carried De1ore
it thousands of dead fish. He said
that he could have picked up wagon
load in a few minutes. Mr.. MCGOWAN
took thirteen catfish out of one pfuSh
pile on the ImMasche place.
1.-The food has completely annihi-
lated the fish crop for this year.. said
Mr. McGoWan land there can be no
doubt about it. One of the best fish
ing grounds in Kansas was near SAT-
fordville. but I am positive that all
prospects are spoiled for this season.
On account of the fifteen foot dam at
Burlington the fish cannot come up
the river and being all killed by the
flood. the fishermen will have to sus-
pend this sport in the Cottonwood
for this year at least. No harm was
done in the Neosho river.

Kansas to Have q Real Signal
Corps.
Adjutant General Hughes Or
ders the Equipment.
TO BE AT WELLINGTON
Company Located in Sumner
County Town.
An Aiken Target Equipment Is
Also Ordered.

The Kansas National Guard is to
nave signal corps, with wig-wag
hags, photographs, telegraphs, and tel
ephones. and Adjutant General Hughes
today sent to the United States arsenal
for $1,100 worth of equipment for the
company.
The company will be located at Well
1ngton. There is already a company
there. and it will be converted into a
signal corps. Captain McLain is in
charge of this company, and it in
cludes the superintendent of the cleo
trio hight plant, the Santa Fe chief
dispatcher and a lot of professional
electricians and telegraphers. The
membership of the company especially
qualities it to perform the duties of a
signal corps.
The apparatus for the company in
cludes all the tools and equipment
necessary for company in building
field telegraph and telephone lines for
an army, and also two Telegraph in
flags cost $267; the field telegraph or
'buzzer" equipment $305; the telegraph
equipment $20S, tools sos and tele-
phone equipment S215. The telephone
equipment includes a complete field
telephone exchange, so that various
parts of the field or camp can COM
municate by calling up central.
The list of equipment necessary for
such a company was submitted by
Lieutenant w. N. Hughes, a nephew
of Adjutant General Hughes, who is
now a first lieutenant in the United
States army signal corps. Lieutenant
Hughes has recently published a book
on the subject of signal service work,
which is used as a text book at the
army school at FIT. Leavenworth. He
is counted one of the leading signal
experts in the United States army
The signal company at Wellington
will be provided with the regulation
signal corps uniforms, which are some
what different from the regular service
uniforms.
General Hughes also sent in today
an order for complete Aiken target
equipment for each company in the
state. The Aiken targets are the ones
used in the United States army, and
the total cost of equipment for the
Kansas soldiers is $1,000. Nearly every
company in the state already has its
rifle range. but it has been shooting
at improvised targets. The new equip
ment will make it possible for each
company to do it's target practice UNI
der the most favorable conditions.
These targets will probably be re-
ceived within few weeks. and will
be useful to the Kansas marksmen in
getting ready for the national rifle
match at Camp Perry, Ohio.
