Clearing the Atmosnhers

In his capacity of dramatic critic
Mr.. J. ComynS Carr, the author, wrote
a notice Of the play Of Charles L." in
which Irving played under the man
agement of Mr.. Bateman. His produc-
ton deeply incensed the manager. In
order perhaps to find the opportunity
Of informing the critic of his disap-
proval. the manager invited him TO a
supper at the Westminster club on the
second or third night of the -produc-
tion. When he thought the fitting mo
ment had arrived Mr.. Bateman led the
conversation to the point at issue and
emphatically banging the table with
his fist, declared in the loudest OF
tones that he did not produce his plays
at the Lyceum theater to please Mr.
Comyus Carr. There was a moment
awkward silence, which Mr. Carr con
fesses he did not feel quite able to
break, but which was released by a
wit of the company with the happy re.
tort, We'll, dear boy, then you can't
be surprised If they don't please him. "

About the middle of the last century
the Lord Rosebery Of that time was II
Paris, and in paying a call one day h
was received SO rudely 10y the butler
that he complained to his friend of the
servants conduct. But the butler had
been noncommissioned officer in the
French army, and as such he chal-
lenged Lord Rosebery to duel. The
earl accepted, and two shots were ex-
changed without result. But Lord
Rosebery was angered at his own con-
descension and afraid his antagonist
might lay aside his military rank and
resume his duties as a servant, thus
exposing an earl to the reproach Of
having fought with a butler. So he
settled an annuity of $3.50 on the mar
on condition he did not return to do
nestle service The condition was
faithfully observed on both sides.

no law now prohibiting the sale of

Dan Geilus, CHIEF game warden, Lin

"In regard to the sale of fish l beg
to advise you that the sale of all fish
taken from the public waters of this
state is prohibited by law at all times
of the year under penalty. A bill per-
hitting the sale of carp, buffalo, cat
fish, suckers and gars was passed by
the recent legislature. This bill was
also approved by the governor, but,
owing to a discrepancy in the bill, it
is null and void. 1t provides for no
appeal of the section of the old law in
conflict Herewith. l consulted the at
torney general regarding this matter
and he informed me that the courts
have held that bills of this nature do
not become operative and therefore
the old law is still in effect"

FOREST CITY WANTS TRADE.
Fight Is to be Made by Merchants
Near Cheyenne River Reserve,

right is to be Made by Merchants
Near Cheyenne River Reserve.
Sioux Falls, S. D., May 2S.-Special
to The News: The business men of
Forest City are laying plans to make
strong fight to capture and retain
the trade of vast section of country
directly across the Missouri river
from that place, now included in the
Cheyenne River Indian reservation.
The tract will be disposed of under
the lottery system and it is believed
everything will be in readiness to
have the drawing some time during
the coming fall.
The rival towns for the trade of a
large part of the tract to be opened,
especially the southern portion, are
Forest City and LeBeau, both .situat-
ed on the east bank of the Missouri
river. LeBeau at present is the ter
minus OF the Minneapolis & st. Louis
railroad, which Is expected to extend
a line westward when the Cheyenne
reservation is opened to settlement
This would give LeBeau a decided adj
vantage over Forest City, but notwith-
standing this the people of the latter
towns are not discouraged.
They believe they will be able to
figure out some plan by which they
can capture and retain the trade of
at least the Fox Ridge region, which
lies directly west of Forest City.
Some of the more aggressive resi-.
dents of Forest City even intimate
that if necessary they will be pre-
pared when the time comes to extend
a branch line of railroad of their own
into the tract to be opened, and thus
monopolize the trade of the region for
their own town.

County Attorney Won't Act.

Neigh, Neb., May 2S.-Special to
The News: Jefferson Eddy, who shot
Barney Hansen last Monday afternoon
outside of the justice court room at
Brunswick. was brought to this city
on Wednesday, but the county attor-
ney failed to see any necessity of fl.
ing an information before the county
judge. The prisoner was taken back
to brunswick and placed under bonds.
Eddy claims that he fired his. re-
volver in self defense, as he was
afraid of personal injuries from Han.
sen, who is much larger and young
er man.
No improvement has been apparent
in the injured limb of Hansen. AS
was previously stated in The News,
the bone was badly shattered and am
putation is feared. The patient was
taken to Sioux City yesterday and
placed in hospital.
