GAME WARDEN VISITS TOWN,

Deputy Game Warden, Fred Gear
harGt of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, came
here Thursday afternoon and in his
official capacity began to examine the
barrels of fish loaded in the freight cars
of the Northwestern railroad company.
The procedure of this game warden was
entirely different than that to which
local fishermen We're accustomed, the
warden taking a hatchet and cutting
holes into the barrels to make the exam
inatiOn. The fishermen make it point
to mark all fish shipments, showing the
quantity and kind of fish packed and
all that was necessary for the warden
was to follow these tags When the
fishermen raised II protest against the
demolishing of their fish packages, the
game warden became very obnoxious
and in several ways threatened few of
the fishermen present. 1t required but
force gathered at the freight yards
numbering thirty or more fishermen
and they no longer feared the threats of
the game warden. Headed by Attorney
Ledvina the game laws We're politely ex.
pounded to the game warden aud after
waging a war of words Gearhardt man.
aged to make his way to the Hotel
Hamilton, carrying with him lesson
that he will not soon be likely to forget.
The fish laws seem to be confused to
such an extent that it remains for the
next session of the legislature to pass
laws that will be understood by the
wardens as well rs the fishermen. A
meeting was recently held at Center
vile at which fishermen from Sheboy-
gan, Manitowoc, Two Rivers, Kewau.
nee, Algoma and the Green Bay district
were present and unanimous conclu.
sion was reached that they will protect
their property while in transit. The
fishermen ask no favors and dre willing
to abide by the mandates of the law,
but will not idly stand by and have
their rights abused when there is no
authority on the part of the wardens.

SCHOONER RUN DOWN.

While twenty miles off Two Rivers
point Saturday night, the little schooner
Isoda Book owned and sailed by Capt.
ole Jensen of this city, was run down by
down Lake Michigan with n cargo of
coal. The steel bow of the freighter
crashed into the iibboom bow of the
Book, swapping the jibboom and bow,
spirit off like pipe stems, and then
crunched into the timbers on the bow
of the ManitOwoc vessel.
The Corsica was going down full speed
and although the man ut the wheel of
the steamer had changed the course of
the steamer, the crash shook up the
Book considerably and loosened all the
rigging, so that the masts of the Book
down Capt Jensen of the Book signaled
the Corsica to return the steel craft,
although not intending 10 stop Mt first,
finally put about and lowed the Book
into Manitowoc bay, and blew for n
ting
The collision occurred about two
o'clock Sunday morning, and although
it waa dark there was no fog on the lake
and the night was clear. The Book,
with Capt Jensen and two men, left
Manitowoc Saturday morning bound

jensen stated that he had torched two
or three times and his bow lights were

before the lookout on the steel steamer
coulG change his course enough, the bow
of the Corsica had cut across the yes
sci 4 bow, smashing the jobboom and
bowsprit and cutting the lines and rig

After the Book signaled the Corsica 10

MRS, KLEIN WINS IN
PROBATE COURT

Judgment for $500 on the $3.50 claim
filed is given in the decision handed
down by Judge Chloupek in the case of
Mrs. John Klein against the estate of
the late Michael eastman of Manitowoc
R4pids, the court making an allowance
of 81 per week instead of - rs claimed.
1t is probable that the case will be ap'
pealed to the circnit court.
Mrs. Klein whose first husband was
Micheal eastman, Jr., son of the man
whose estate was sued, claimed $50 for
personal services in caring for eastman,
Sr., and his aged wife, after the death
of her husband who was killed in an &C
cident on the farm 1t was claimed that
eastman, Jr. and his wife came from
Chicago to take care of eastman 8
parents under an agreement by which
they were to secure title to the farm, but
the death of the son interfered with this
arrangement After the death of her
husband, the widow remained on the
farm until she married John Klein, n
laborer also employed there and the two
then removed to this city, and on the
death of eastman, Sr, made the claim
against the estate.
The defense contended that Mrs
Klein remained on the farm to secure a
home and that she was entitled to no
compensation because her services We're
paid for by the home The court, held
that Mrs. Klein was entitled to pay ut
the rate of 81 per week
