.LEH|CH FISH HOGS
TO Be ARRESTED
Reported That Deputy Game War
den has Evidence Against
Is Law Violators.

The fish hogs of Lehigh and vi
cinity are about to get what Is their
due, if reports are true, and the
Freeman-Tribune hopes they are.
"Sportsmen" who violate the law
should be made to pay the penalty.
They destroy fish and other game
and make the sport of fishing and
hunting a reproach. The Fort Dodge
Messenger is authority for the fol-
lowing:
Deputy Game Warden William
Marsh has the names of twenty-five
young men of Lehigh and vicinity
who will face charge Of illegal
fishing in the Des Moines river. The
sport of catching fish with a sein
has been going on for some time, it
is charged, and recently Deputy
Marsh made raid. Two large seins
were obtained and one offender was
captured while in the act. He was
arrested and brought to the city.
The names of twenty-five other men
who have engaged in a like infrac-
tion of the law were obtained. These
men will soon come before Justice
Mcgowan.
The law is very strict on this
matter. Anyone using a sein for
the purpose of catching fish can be
arrested without warrant and the
penalty is five dollars per fish for
every ono secured.
The seins secured by Deputy
Game Warden Marsh are large ones.
One measures one hundred feet by
eleven feet, The other measures sew
enty-fiye feet by seven. The habit
of draining all Of the fish from the
Des Moines river by means of seins
has been carried on considerably in
this vicinity. :

ALCONA DEFEATS
WEBSTER CITY
Foot Ball Game in Algona Saturday
Afternoon Results in Score Of
"a to IL.

The Webster City foot ball team
were defeated Saturday afternoon
by the Algona team on the latter's
field by the score of "a to 12, in one
of the hardest battles the locals
have entered this season. Had it
not been for the hard luck that &C
companied the home squad it is
thought they would have at least
played their fast opponents to a
draw. The fact that neither France
nor Kelly were able to go to Algona
Saturday left them without an old
player for the right end job. Rob-
ert Maxon was played on the wing
position, and though he played well
1T was his first appearance in real
contest and he lacked in experience.
Another incident that lessened the
locals chances was the retirement
of Greenwood, who received slight
injury that placed him on the side
lines. II. Maxon was also placed
on the side lines.
Webster City received the kickofl
and from the opening of the contest
things looked bright for the local
squad. Three minutes found the
pigskin across the goal line for the
first score credited to Meyers squad
At the end of seven minutes another
touchdown was tackled. up for the
locals and 1t looked very good fol
them.
Shortly after the first bell In thu

GYPSUM HAS A BIG
FIRE; Loss $4,000
Acme Plant is Destroyed Fire
Started in the Warehouse
Rebuild at Once.

Fire Of unknown origin, starting
shortly after O'clock Friday night,
destroyed the Acme Cement plaster
plant at Gypsum, sixteen miles west
Of this city, with an estimated loss
of $4,000.
The fire was discovered in the
warehouse which is separated from
the main plant with the exception
Of running plank. The flames
were then slowly breaking through
the warehouse roof and eatened
to set fire to the main r.l at any
time. Eight men were working the
night shift in the mill at the time
and an effort was made by them to
reach the warehouse fire with the
chemicals and water hose, but the
heat drove them back. Soon the
main mill was on fire and for one
hour the employees Of the plant
looked on with absolute helplessness
while the big wood frame mill was
burned to the ground.
A Fort Dodge dispatch says: Su-
perintendent D. w. Hyde of the
plant Immediately informed Presi-
dent Sam Lazarus of the Acme COM
pany at st. Louis of the loss. In q
telegram this morning Mr.. Lazarus
stated that the plant would be re-
built Immediately with a fire proof
steel structure. The work Of clean
ing up of the debris will be started
as soon as the loss is appraised by
the insurance companies.
The exact loss by the fire was not
announced. Superintendent Hyde
stated this morning that he could
not tell. The plant was a compara-
lively new one, being built by the
Independent Gypsum company about
five years ago. The building was a
frame structure and was three stor-
les in height. Considering the loss
of the mill, machinery. ETC., it Is
thought that the loss will come to
nearly $4,000.
Much talk is going on how the
fire started. 1t is feared by some
that due to the plants recent dis
agreement with some of the men
that it may have been incendiarism.
1t is very probable that an investi-
cation will be taken up Immediately
by the St. Louis officers. Superin-
tendent Hyde refused to make any
statements in regard to this.
. The company about month ago
were forced to discharge number
of men. There have been number
Of fights since over the affair. The
night before last at the west end Of
the street car line a short distance
from the mill, the employees Of the
Acme and number of sympathizers
and discharged miners engaged in
free for all fight.
Two carloads of plaster which
were standing on the siding were
burned up besides five empty box
cars, three belonging to the Great
Western and two to the Illinois Cen
trail. The interurban had a number
of cars on the siding also but man
aged to get them away from the dan
ger line In the mill itself there
was about forty-five tons of bulk
plaster in the bins which was de-
stroyed.
The mine itself was not damaged
with the exception of the shaft
which was slightly burned. This can
easily be replaced, however.

1t is likely that the registration will
exceed 1900 this year, which is the
largest in the history of the city.
Following is the registration in the
various wards:
Webster City freeman. [volume] (Webster City, Hamilton County, Iowa) 1884-1946, 1912-10-29

This Is about two-fifths of the
vote of the city, which gives Roose-
ye1t plurality of 45, indicating
that with a full vote he would have
plurality of 112 here. This Is
about what the republican majority
was when the fight was close in this
state.
In 1891, before the second Cleve-
land administration, when Iowa
gave but small republican plural
ity. the secretary of state, head of
the ticket that year, getting but
1886 more in the state than the
democratic candidate, Webster City
gave republican majority Of 127
and Hamilton county's republican
majority was 675. In 1890, when
Horace Boies carried the state by
6,573 plurality over J. G. Hutchin-
son, the republican candidate, the
republican majority in this city was
127, just the same as it was the year
following. but the republican major
ity In Hamilton county was only
644, 81 less than at the subsequent
election. Hence the straw vote TAX
en- Sunday indicates that the fight
in Iowa between Roosevelt and VIII
son is very close, with the determin-
ing vote still, in the hands OF those
undecided, Sundays vote Indicating
there are rs such voters In this
city. II Roosevelt gets the san . ra-
ito of these votes as he receivt1 Of
the ones who expressed choice he
will carry the state by small mar
gin, according to fair deduction
from Sundays poll. 1t Is claimed,
however, that the country is strong
er for Roosevelt than the towns, as
the business men are more inclined
than ether voters toward letting
we'll enough alone" 1t also seems
apparent that Roosevelt is gaining.
especially among wage earners and
laborlng men, as the importance Of
the progressive platform is being
bettT understood.
At the presidential election four
yeas ago there was total demo-
craic and republican vote in, Web
std City of 924, of which Taft re-
caved 554 and Bryan $40. That is
slightly more than twice the vote
rollet Sunday for the three leading
,art4s, hence 1t appears that Will
aon Is not holding the Bryan vote
by considerable. Figured from this
VIEWPOINT Roosevelt will carry the
stau by a substantial majority If he
get1his proportion of the undecided
vot or course Roosevelt is not get
tinI anywhere near the Taft vote of
fou years ago, but Taft had $4,000

ii state and Wilson loses about 20
Il the precinct as compared with
Ean four years ago. II this loss Is

is evident that more democrats in
febster City are voting for Roose-
elt and Taft than there are repub-
