SCIVALLY TO BRING
In UNPAID FINES
Constable to Collect Money or
Increase Guests at County
Jail.

Constable D. NJ. Scivally has recent
ly initiated a campaign against old
offenders, who have been allowed to
go unpublished upon their promises to
pay the fines that have been assessed
against them, but who through press
Of business and others causes, have
failed and neglected TO live up to their
agreements.
A few days ago he secured from
Judge Willer a list of the delinquents.
and advised them all that if the fines
were not paid within a stipulated time
they would be arrested and made to
satisfy their obligations by confine-
ment in Jail
Albert Albright, one of the first to
be reminded of his shortcoming, re-
spOnded TO the call, and Sunday morn
ing appeared at the Jail and expressed
his desire to spend the day in prison
in satisfaction of fine that had been
imposed upon him for disturbing the
peace more than a year ago, and upon
which a stay of execution had been
granted when he promised to pay.
Albright informed the officers that
he was financially bent and did not
know when he would be able to raise
the required amount. His proposition
to spend the Sabbath in Jail was &C
copied.
He walked nine miles from the farm
upon which he is living, near Egypt
Mills, in order to meet the demands of
Justice.
Hank Johnson was the second to be
entrapped in the cOnstable's net, and
was yesterday captured and taken to
Jackson Jail to serve seven days as
punishment for an offense committed
nearly two years ago, and for which
he promised to pay the fine if given
an opportunity to work.
Hank lodged the officer Saturday
and succeeded in keeping out of his
reach until yesterday morning when
he was so closely pressed that he stop
ped and surrendered. but again tried
his old practice of talking Justice Will
Ter to give him a chance to work and
pay the fine.
He failed to impress the court with
his plea, and was conveyed to Jackson
where he will remain in Jail for one
week.
Mr.. Scivally still has large num-
Der demanding immediate attention,
and states that he does not intend to
stop until he has made a thorough

FARMER IS HERE ON
TRAIL OF SEINERS.
Martin Fremsdorf Says Cape
Anglers Violated Law to
Catch His Fish.

N1di LII IclHSuOtI "dS III tllC City
yesterday continuing search which
he instituted few days ago for some
parties whom he claims were seining
fish in Williams creek where it trav-
erses his farm, seven miles west of
this city.
Mr.. Fremsdorf lives on a farm abut-
ting the Jackson gravel road, three
miles east of Jackson, and last Satur-
day when a party of men and women
drove to his house and asked permits
sion to go on his land and fish, he
said that he granted their request,
with the express provision that they
use hook and line only.
Mr. Fremsdorf said that he remain
ed with them for sometime and direct
ed them to the places where the finest
fish were to be caught, and that when
he left them at noon, he had no sus-
picion that they would take advantage
of his absence and abuse his conf
dence by resorting to the use of a
seine.
Mr. Fremsdorf advised the local
authorities that while he was at the
house eating his dinner, a neighbor
boy came and told him that the stran-
gers had put their hooks and lines
away and were catching fish in large
numbers with a seine. He said the
boy told him that the women were
carrying the fish to the buggy as fast
as the men dragged them out of the
water.
Mr.. Fremsdorf hurried back to
where he had last seen the party, and
as ne neared the creek bank, he slip
ped upon them unnoticed.
When he came upon them, they
were in the act of dragging the seine
across one of the deepest and best
fishing pools on his premises, and
when he demonstrated with them. he
stated that they grew defiant in their
manner.
He hurried to Jackson and sought
Constable Howard who accompanied
him back to where the trespassers had
last been seen. They had evidently
grown suspicious of Mr.. Fremsdorf's
intentions, and had vacated during his
absence
Mr.. Fremsdorf with one of his en-
ployes and the constable then struck
the buggy trail and followed it into
this city, where they lost it for several
blocks, but picked it up again where
it had entered one of the down town
livery stables.
Mr.. Fremsdorf says that but for the
eagerness of one of the men in the
pursuing party, he would have ascer-
tanned information that would enable
him to identify the offenders, but the
liveryman was asked if the party had
a seine concealed in the buggy, he inn
mediately assumed a strictly non-com-
municative attitude, and could not
thereafter be prevailed upon to an
swer another question.
Mr.. Fremsdorf is determined to
bring the alleged game law violators
to answer for their Offense, and says
that even though the liveryman has
implicated himself by refusing to di-
vulge the names of the parties sought,
he is confident that he has secured
some information that will quickly
lead to the arrest and conviction of the
cufprits.

ROBBED THE RoDBER.
Roxbury, Mass, Storekeeper Proved the
Better Fighter.

Boston. Feb 6.--Peter Harroutian, pro-
prietor Of a provision store at lO9 Blue
Hill avenue, Roxbury, reversed roles with
an amateur bandit last night and when
their little argument was over Harrou-
tian was richer by an almost new revol.
yer, while the bandit had nothing to
show but a number of sore spots.
Just before I o'clock Harroutian was
standing behind his counter when a
Young man of middle height and a not
over aggressive appearance entered.
The visitor wanted potatoes and Har-
routian stopped under the counter TO get
them. When his head came above the
counter again he found that his Gus
toner had whipped out revolver and
was taking aim.
Without waiting to see what might
happen, Harroutian vaulted the counter,
grappled with the visitor and wrenched
the weapon from his hand. For some
seconds Harroutian did some very eifec-
tive punching and the bandit seemed
willing to give up, when his captor lost
his grip for moment and the youth
took TO his heels with Harroutian in close
pursuit.
