would be little sport in the fishing
line this summer. The water was
so shallow in the lakes and creeks
when it froze up last fall and the
freezing was so severe in January
that the fish have all persisted except
in the very large lakes where the
water was deep. In Dry Creek, South
Fork and the lakes intervening there
are great quantities of dead fish, from
the wee minnows to three-foot pick.

bring high water with overflows in
the streams and lakes so fish will
come up from farther down the
streams there will be none this sum-

MANY FREIGHT
CARS ENTERED
SPECIAL AGENT HARRISON OF
BURLINGTON SAYS THIEVES
HAVE BEEN ACTIVE.

According to statement Of Special
Agent James Harrison of the Burling.
ton road. between twenty-five and
thirty merchandise cars have been
broken into by thieves in the east
end yards within the past two weeks.
They arc not professional thieves, he
asserts, but hcme talent artists In
search Of some little commodity that
may be easily disposed CT for small
sum OF money. Within the past week
the robberies have become so numer-
GUS that it has been necessary to keep
continual guard over the cars. Since
the shooting of Ross Howard by OF
ficer Llewellyn when he tried to
escape from custody after his arrest
on the charge Of breaking and enter
ing a merchandise car, the robberies
have ceased, probably due, Mr.. Harri-
son states. to the fright which the at
fair has given the thieves. Agent
Harrison declares that in his opinion
the robberies are all perpetrated by q
gang which operates with its pickets
and watchers to give the car breakers
the signal Of danger. One thing that
has impressed itself upon the Burlfng-
ton detectives mind Is the fact that
the thieves have broken into num-
Der of refrigerators, leading to the
conclusion that liquor is the booty
they seek.
