TROUT COST S18 EACH.
Women Are Caught with Fish Out of
Season and Pay Fines and
the Costs.

WAUSAU. Wis, Dec. 2S.-[Special.]
Game Warden John Foster has re-
turned from a tour of Shawano county
and reports the arrest and conviction
of two women for violations of the
game laws. They are the first of the
gentler sex, according to Mr.. Fosters
recOllections to become entangled in the
meshes of the game laws since they be-
came operative. Mrs. Charles Androwsch-
ka and Mrs. Joseph Androwschka, sis
ters-in-law. residing near Aniwa, were
charged with having trout in their pos
session out of season.
The warrant was issued on complaint
of Game Warden H. A. Gaulke of Mon
teIo. who has been travelling with Mr..
Foster for some time. Mr.. Foster said
the women refused to give explanations
as to how they came into possession
of the fish. therefore neither he nor Mr..
Gaulke know whether the women caught
or someone else caught them. He said
the fish appeared to have been out of
the water only a short time.
The women were taken to Wltten-
berg, where they entered pleas of guilty
and paid fines of $40 each. The costs
amounted to IS each.

BABY STARVED IN MINE.
Child Thrown Into Abandoned Workings
and Left to Die.

WASHINGTON, Pa, Dec. 2S.-"This
is the most heinous crime in the history
of Washington county, said Coroner
James Heffran today at the conclusion of
the inquest into the death of a we'll
dressed 1-year-old baby boy found
starved in an abandoned mine near Mo-
nongahela City. The verdict of the jury
was in effect that the child had been shut
in the mine and left there to starve to
death by persons unknown.
The county commissioners this evening
decided to offer reward of $500 for the
apprehension of the criminals, and the
announcement has been sent broadcast
throughout western Pennsylvania, east
ern Ohio and West Virginia.
The child was found short distance
from the mouth of the mine pit, and the
position of the little body indicated that
the child had tried to crawl to satety.
II was terribly emaciated, and there is
no doubt that it died of starvation. The
clothing showed conclusively that it came
from the better walks of life, as the little
dress was of the finest linen, beautlfully
embroidered.
The discovery was made by Edward
Deb, the owner of the mine.

What can you say of the advance of
the negro in the field of culture and
the fine arts?" Mr.. Washington was
asked
ADVANCE IN EVERY FIELD RAPID
THE advance of the race in every
field has been rapid since the work of
education began" answered the edu-
