Duquoin. and fired six shots into the
body OF the physician, causing his

After his first attack, Joplin left the
Office replenished his supply OF am
munition, and returned. Other physi-
clans who had been called by the
wounded man prevented a renewal of
the firing until the arrival OF Chief OF
Police Plumley. who arrested Joplin
and disarmed him
Joplin was taken to the county jail
at Pinckneyville. while DR.. Dunn was
rushed on a special train to St Louis,
where he died in the Missouri Baptist
sanitarium yesterday.
Joplin had been a patient of DR..
Dunn several years ago and the latter

hands OF collectors, srousing the anger
OF Joplin. Recently Joplin's child be-

PROPAGATE FISH
ON A BIG SCALE
Commission Making Greater Eff
forts Than Ever Before
to Stock Streams.

Propagation of fish on an extensive
scale for stocking Illinois lakes and
streams, has been undertaken this
year by the state game and fish con-
servation commission.
For the first time in years the state
has planted in suitable waters fish fry
OF its own Matching. The abandoned
hatchery of the old fish commission
at Havana was rehabilitated and TO-
100000 pike-perch (wall-eyed pike)
eggs were Matched and distributed.
Since the pike-perch were Matched,
buffalo spawn has been obtained and
Matched. The buffalo is a most i'm
portant commercial fish. It is. not q
game fish nor is it to be classed as an
edible fish with the black bass or pike
perch. But 1t is very prolific, OF quick
growth and feeds upon vegetation and
other forms OF food that the game fish
despise. Moreover, It can be put on
the market by the seine fishermen at
a very low cost. SO that people who
cannot afford black bass can have
fish dinner at a cost of about 10 cents
a pound.
Realizing the importance of cheap
food. the game and fish conservation
commission has decided to enlarge the
Havana hatchery to turn out $4,000, 900
buffalo fry a year.
At Spring Grove. in McHenry coun-
ty. the commission has established
bass Matching ponds from which this
year II will turn out about 100000
fry, to be planted in the best bass wa
tiers OF the northern part of the state.
The bass pond comprises a tract of
about 35 acres. on which there will be
seven or eight ponds when the plant
is completed, with a capacity of about
10. 000.0 900 bass fry a year. Already 20
acres OF this tract is under water and
stocked with breeding bass now spawn
ing. Before fall the rest of the ponds
will be completed and stocked.
At this place hatchery will be built
with a capacity OF about 100000
pike-perch fry a year. This fry will
be planted in northern lakes and
streams suitable for this kind of fish.
The hatchery will be completed in |
time for the coming spring Matching.
Illinois is far behind her sister states |
In the matter of Matching fish. Indeed |
there has been nothing done In this |
line for years, and then there was only |
the output of a single hatchery. The |
present commission has had 10 create |
4 fish culture department and develop |
an organization.
An important part OF the fish con-
servation work has been the rescuing |
Of small and large fish stranded on
he spawning grounds OF the Illinois
and Mississippi rivers. About $4,000 /
ish large and small have been rescued
within a radius OF 10 miles of Galena.
