SAvE,CAME FISH
IN HOOKER LAKE.
Government Refuses to Aid in
Work While Draining Land;
Use Cans for Trans

Lincoln, June 9.-State Game
Warden George Roster and Fish
Commissioner O'Brien have re-
turned from trip to SCOTS Bluff
county where the government is
draining the lake which has been
stocked with fish and which has
been in controversy as relating to
the we'll known fish car transporta-
ton matter in which the national
railway administration refuses to
give a reduced rate for the car so
that the fish in this lake may be
saved.
The lake, which is called Hooker
Lake." covers about 100 acres and
is situated about IL miles from the
city of Scottsbluff. 1t has been
stocked with perch and bass and
because of the nature of the growth
of weeds, rushes and the like is an
ideal lake for the growing of fish.
At one time the matter was agitated
of purchasing the lake from the
government because of it's value as
a breeding grounds for wild fowl
and its peculiar situation for the
breeding of fish.
However, the government has
seen fit to drain the lake that it may
be used for agricultural purposes,
but refuses to assist the state to save
the fish from determination, Fish
Commissioner O'Brien and ' Game
Warden Roster are doing the nest
they can to save. the fish and are
seining the lake, putting the fish

lakes in that part of the country.

SPECIAL CALLS
National Woman's Party Calls
on TWenty-Eight to Take
Immediate Action Towards
Ratifying Suffrage,
By Universal Seryice.)

Washington, June o.-The Nation
al Woman's party has called on the
governors of % states where women
now have full or partial suffrage to
summon special sessions of the leg
islatures to take action toward rati-
fcation of the constitutional amend
ment permitting nationwide suf-
frage. The plea to''the governors is
as follows
with the passage of congress of
the constitutional amendment grant
ing suffrage to women, the struggle
for woman acknowledgment is trans
ferred to the states. 4
This struggle has already taken
Al years of sacrifice on the part of
the nation. Believing that you
earnestly desire its speedy termina-
ton and inasmuch as the legislatures
OF 81 states will not meet in regular
session before 1921, we appeal to
you to call special session of the
legislature at the earliest possible
date for the purpose of ratification.
Ask In Behalf of Members.
"We ask this in behalf of our
members in your state and in order
shat there may be conserved to the
nation the outpouring of strength,
effort, time and money which in the
daily toll of the prolonged effort for
woman's acknowledgements
"Will you let me know if we can
count on your active support"
The communication is signed by
Maude Younger, chairman of the
lobby committee of the party. .
Reports to headquarters today inn
dictate speedy ratification of the
amendment by the legislatures of
Illinois, Michigan, Ohio and Pcnp-
sylvania, which are now in session.
Texas, despite the defeat of the
suffrage amendment at recent cleo
ton, is also counted on to ratify
the amendment.
As soon as the first state raliiies
the amendment a gold star will be
placed in the white stripe of the
banner Of the national woman's
party. The next star will be purple
and thereafter the two colors will
alternate for the SO states neccs-
sary for ratification and for the ell
tire 48 states, should the hope OF the
suffragists be fulfilled as far as na-
tion-Wide ratification is concerned.

MURDERED man
IN STREET
AT KEARNE:Y NEB.
Loaded Revolver on His Per-
son Thought to Indicate He
Had Been Anticipating
an Attack.

Kearney, Neb., June 9.-(Special
Telegram. Frank S. Levitt, book
keeper of the, Gilcrest Lumber Co.,
was killed about 10 o'clock Sunday
evening on Twenty-seventh street,
between First and Second avenues,
within a few blocks of his own
home, when a bullet from a 32-cal-
iber revolver went crashing through
his skull, at the left temple, pene-
trating to the BRAIN,
When found shortly after 2
o'clock Monday mornng'he was still
breathing but unconscious. He died
shortly after 2.
Every evidence indicates that
Iovitt was murdered.
A 32-caliber revolver, with one
chamber discharged, lay at his feet.

on, a 38-caliber revolver, fully load

Killed During Storm,

When found he still had a carton
of ice cream in one hand and his
umbrella lay a short distance away.
There. was no indication of rob-
berry.
Two young men found the body

muffling the sound of the shot.
Such evidence as could be OBJ
tanned was introduced before the
coroner's jury at the inquest held
Monday morning, after which an
adjournment until next Thursday
was announced. Witnesses on the
way from church testified to seeing
The body during a flash of lightning,
but afterwards decided it was a
trunk of a tree which had been
blown down by the high wind.
No motive for the crime can be
found, according to the chief of po-
lice of Kearney. So far as is known
Levitt had no enemies of long
standing, and jKhe chief advanced the
theory that whoever committed the
murder left the revolver near the
body in hopes that its discovery
would lead to a. theory of suicide.

sore, touehy corns so

You reckless men and women whs

called freezone, which the moment
a few drops are applied to any corn,

This new ether drug is the recent

which dries the moment it is applied
and is said to simply shrivel the
corn without inflaming or even irri-
tating the surrounding tissue or
skin. It is claimed that q quarter Of

is sufficient to rid ones feet of ev-
