G.. w. McDade, by his attor-
ney, J. b. Hale, has filed suit in
the Ozark district of the Frank
lin county circuit court, against
l.. M. Flake.
Mr.. McDade claims he was
driving a team of mules between
Ozark and Altus on the 7th day
of August, when Flake drove
his automobile into the team,
striking them in the breast and
fore legs with such a force as to
cause them to be lame for sew
eral days. The animals became
frightened and ran away, break
ing the tongue. and several
spokes in a wheel. McDade
was thrown from the vehicle
sustaining severe bruises about
the head and body.
The plaintiff thinks he was

as since the accident they have
become unsafe and almost un-
manageable.

FISHING SEASON OVER.
Last Haul of Big Seine at Chapman
Fishing Shore.

The big seine at Chapman's fishing
shore on the Potomac has been hauled
for the last time this season. Work of
putting the shore in condition for lying
idle until spring of next year was
started yesterday by Capt. Al Faunce
and his men.
With the cutting out of Chapmans
the Potomac fishing season is over Off
this.year Chapman's has been the only
haul seine shore in operation for the
past week or longer. but the drift net
the next two weeks. But one runboat
river nets to the market here. and she
will make her last trip in the early
part Of this week. 1t is legal to sell
shad and herring at this city until June
/. but from that date until January l..
1916. they cannot be sold. The fish,
ermen state that the season just clos
ing has been the poorest that was ever
known in the history of Potomac fish
cries. The haul seines along the river
did not catch a tenth of the fish that
are usually caught and at ChapmanS.
where last season several million her
ring were caught. hardly that many
thousand were taken this spring. The
shad catch was also small, twenty five
or thirty being caught at a haul in
stead of several thousand. Potomac
fishermen are predicting the EXITING
ton of shad and herring unless rigor-
Gus measures are adopted to protect
them from fishermen in the lower end
of rivers and bays who look only te
present profits.
