Fishermen Quiet.

PEORIA, H.. Aug. 30.-Deputy sher-
ifs who went into the Spring Lake
district today in compliance with or
ders from Acting Governor Oglesby to
investigate the clash between fieher-
men and officials of that district,
found the fishermen in quiet mood.
No hostilities are expected at this
time. The drainage commissioners
desire to drain the lakes and reclaim
several thousand acres of land The
fishermen are antagonizing such ac-
ton on the ground that the lakes are
navigable and the land uoss not be-
long to the district. They appear to
realize that they cannot gain any
thing by the use of firearms, and have
retained legal talent to fight their
cause in the courts. The commits
sioners of the district are awaiting a
decision of the attorney general, and
IL 1t Is favorable the canal will be
closed at once.
