EMIL FOX 1SA
TRIFLE PEEVED
Conservation Officer Fox is
Slightly Miffed Over Ac-

SPORTSMAN DECAMPED

Emil Fox, deputy conservation officer
is asking himself this question "When
is a sportsman not a sportsman" and
is answering his own question in the
same breath by saying when they
try to hand you dirty deal" Emil
had thrilling experience yesterday in
the neighborhood of Salem. The ducks

Their north and they are Offering a
nice, if illegal, chance of potting some
wild game. At least this is what Fox
alleges that Walter Lancer Of Salem
has been doing.
Caught in BuIlrushes.
LaMeer, Fox alleges, was out among
the bullrushes in Montgomery Lake
with hip boots on and firing right and
left at the wild ducks that were dis
porting themselves, on the lake. Fox
first heard the firing when he was on
the other side of the lake and stealth
lily crept up behind Lancer and saw
the sportsman blazing away. Lancer
was ordered to come out of the lake
and handcuffed and was taken along
with Fox to the deputy's "speeder''.
Presently they came to farm house
where Lancer was we'll known. The
farmer at whose house they stopped
stated that Lancer was a well-known
parsonage and that it was shame to
handcuff him. He asked that Lancer
be shown courtesy and that the hand
cuffs be removed Fox obliged him and
removed the handouts and LaMeer and
the farmer streaked it for a Ford.
They caught the deputy unawares ana
sailed down the road before he could
get his speeder started. After getting
started however, Fox easily outran them
and caught up with them. He again
handcuffed Lancer and brought him
into Kenosha.
"Was Shooting Crows"
When Lancer appeared in municipal
court this morning he stated to the
court that he had been shooting crows
and that the deputy was surely mistak-
en-. He pleaded not guilty and asked
that the case be continued for a week
in order to give him time to engage
counsel. The request was granted and
the case set for next Friday. Mean
while Fox is asking himself the above
question and he stated this morning
that never again would he take the
handouts off of prisoner.

.BARTOLO FREED.
BY JURY VERDICT
Jurors After Three Hours
Consideration Find De-
BartOlO Not Guilty.
DEFENDANT Is HAPPY

Michael DeBartolo, charged with as
sault with intent to do great bodily
harm in connection with the shooting
of Peter Molinero at the Molinero
home on Memorial Day last year was
found "Not Guilty" by a jury in the
Circuit Court just before ten o'clock
last night. The trial of the case had
been concluded late in the afternoon
and the case was given to the jury
just after six o'clock following the in
structiOns of Judge Belden. For more
than three hours the jury pondered
over the verdict but members of the
jury did not discuss their decisions
after the verdict had been rendered.
Judge Belden waited in the court room
until the verdict was received. The
ease had attracted good deal of at
tention in the final hours of the trial
and the court room was we'll filled
with the friends of De Bartolo and
Molinero when the verdict was brought

Defendant Was Very Happy.

The defendant who has been under
a great strain on account of the charge
against him was very happy with the
return of the verdict and he warmly
shook the hands of the jury members.
Bartolo took the stand in his own de-
tense on Friday afternoon and his
story of the shooting of MOlinero in
dicated that he had shot in self de-
tense. 1t is evident that the jury
accepted his story of the shooting
Molinero had entirely recovered from
the effects of his wound and through
out the case there had been the feeling
that the shooting came as result of
a family quarrel. The men are broth

Where Ice Makes Crops.

We are accustomed to think OF
Alaska as moist part of the world,
but except in the southern portion It'll
is rather arid, having rainfall In
sufficient for the production of crops.
When an area is first cleared for
planting the soil is moist enough be-
ing frozen nearly to the surface the
year around. Then the ice in the
ground gradually melts, SO that the
first few crops require only slight
rainfall-the melting of the ice furn
fishing sufficient moisture to the roots
OF the growing plants.
In the course Of few years, how
ever, the ice recedes to a depth Of six
or more feet, and this reservoir of
moisture !s no longer available for the
crops. 1t then becomes necessary to-
resort to various expedients, such as
'mulching," for hindering evaporation
and economizing the available water.

his door and, with his wife, began to
sing and dance. Thereupon, all the
