be caught through the use of a fish
house, such As pickerel and. suckers.

of this state board has a cleaner re-
cord 70 more unqualified commend
ations of his work from every quar-
ter than Mr.. Quinn. <.s.s
Ellis own feelings and the astonish-
ment of his friends and associates
may be imagined when he received
this week, without the slightest pre-
liminary notice, the following curt
letter of dismissal from the Executive
Agent of the Board, u only reason
given therefor being that he had
rendered service to United States
officials who were engaged in the
conscientious discharge of their
duties under the direction of the In
dian Bureau of the Federal Depart
ment of the Interior. -
GAS matter of fact, the assistance
which Deputy Quinn rendered the
Federal authorities during the last
few weeks consisted in his helping
to run down and capture a large
number of boot-leggers and illegal
booze sellers in this section, who
have been defying both state and
national regulations prohibiting the
sale of liquor to Indians. In this
work, the Federal officers are being
and have been constantly and en-
Enthusiastically assisted by citizens of
all classes irrespective of politics or
position, and the law enforcement
campaign of Special Officer Johnson,
referred to in the letter, has not only
been emphatically approved and en-
dorsed by the Federal authorities at
Washington but has evoked the heart
lest praise and commentator from
all good citizens in this section of the
country. People here generally are
wondering in what way Deputy
Quinn's patriotic services could have
interfered with his efficient work as
Game Warden and the question has
even been bluntly put by many in
this vicinity as to whether the
powerful Twin City millionaire
brewers are able to dictate to Of
fetal Departments of the Minnesota
Estate Government in their selection
or discharge of able conscientious
employees for no other reason than
that given in this singular epistle.
The letter to Mr.. Quinn is as follows:
December 9, 1910.
J. M. QUINN, Esq, = .-. r..
Deputy Game Warden,
Brainerd, Mimi.
At the meeting of the Game and
Fish Commission held Wednes-
day, the fact developed that you had
been assisting w. E. Johnson Of the
Indian Bureau, and this fact caused
great dissatisfaction among the men,
bers and they decided to drop you
from the pay roll from and after
December 18th. Please make out
your expense account and voucher
for your salary to that day and for
ward here and you will receive State
Treasurer's check | wish that
you would return your commission
and star together with all blanks you
have in your possession.

NEW YORK, February 26.-Count
Anton Sigray, the Hungarian noble
man who is to marry Miss Harriet

the marriage of Count Szechenyi TO
Miss Gladys Vanderbilt told reporters
at the pier that he had come to New
York to be married and then hurried
away to his hotel.

ported that his family raised strong
objections He was said to be heavily
in debt The figure was placed at $780,
900. Gossip was to the effect that MS
family had offered to settle these deDts
if he would give up his plan of trying
to marry Miss DAILY. The Count turn
ed down the offer, if it was ever made,
and continued his attentions to Miss
Daily while she was in Europe. Their
engagement was announced early this
month.
