ber OF fish placed In State waters from the

OF last year and will be In round numbers

The month OF June is the height OF the
season for the distribution OF brook trout
finEerlings. In this month the lingering
trout have heached a length OF one and one
half inches on the average and are an ideal
size for planting In waters which need re-
stocking Many sportsmen have argued that
the larger and older the fingerlings planted
the better viii be the result, but fish cu-
turists OF wide experience and years OF SER
vice have contended that the lingering trout

for desirable stocking OF wild waters. The
fish at this size have not had n tendency to
become tame" from constant feeding by
attendants and will have a good chance to
escape from natural enemies and learn eau

The percentage of hatch Of the young fish

Is second to none. either Governmental or
commercial. For the amount expended for
maintenance and operation the people receive
treble value in fish OF both food and game
varieties. The fry and lingering trout are
developed from the finest eggs procurable IN
the country, and the utmost care Is taken Ia
safeguard the eggs and young fish In the

than to sail back to America.
This was a busy day at Sandwich.
There is a lot of talk and speculation
about this tournament and every pro
here and every spectator has his own
private opinion, from which he refuses to
be shaken.
Duncan has many supporters on ac-
count of his well known ability and his
experience. He has won once, and this
is a big help. Mitchell is not in the
best of form and may disappoint unless
he improves his putting. Ray is always
a dangerous factor in any championship
and he is playing well now.
Four Ball Practice Rounds.
1t is hard to get line on any CT the
stars for the reason that all of the prac-
tice rounds are being played in four bali
matches. This Is a different proposition
than when one is fighting on his own
resources.
If Americans read that one of their
favorites goes out in something like
three under par on the first nine and
then comes in in 40. don't think they
have cracked wide open. The outward
journey is much easier due to the three
short holes, and in spite OF the fact that
eight out of the nine holes are blind.

Hagen Playing Well.
Walter is hitting a fine tee shot and
scoring well and Jim looks very good.
The Englishmen here say he is the best
bet of the trio. We are all satisfied
with conditions here. The course Is in
excellent condition and is a much fairer
test than most seaside courses.
Critics have made Joe Kirkwood, the
Australian, the favorite. Joe is playing
magnificent golf at the present time, but
/ think the fact that he is made first
choice is due to his great popularity.
Joe is a compromise candidate for this
title. If neither Walter, Jim nor my
self comes through we would like 20 see
the honors fall on the shoulders of Joe.

ing the same way.

English and the Scotch. If one of their
own men cannot win they would rather

MUCH MYSTERY IN
 NASHVILLE KILLING
No Clues as to Identities of the Masked Band Who Whipped
 Old Man.

Nashville, Ark, March 21.-A coro- ner's jury Investigating the death of Walter H. Gibbs, 25, killed late yes- terday at his home here at the time band of masked men was visiting the place, today seturned verdict that Gibbs "came to his death by gun shot fired from the inside of the house by unknown parties."
 It developed at the coroner's in- quest that Gibbs had been quarrel ing with Joel Harris, sixty, the man who was at his home at the time and in protecting" whom, it first was reported, Gibbs met his death.
 Evidence at the hearing was to the effect that Gibbs had been quarrel ing the effect that two automobiles full of men wearing overalls and gun nuysack masks, stopped at the Gibbs home, after Harris had been there for some time, and had called Gibbs to the porch for the fourth time, wrangling with him each time.
 When the masked men drove up Gibbs appeared with a shotgun, it was testified, and opened fire upon the visitors. His shot, it was testi- fled, was followed by shot from inside the hDuse anG later by "a fusilade from the yard. After the shooting, neighbor woman testi- led, she heard an order given to load Harris into car. It has been learned that Harris was taken to Alphin park near the city and flog- ged. He later walked to the home of daughter, procured his clothes, hired a car and left Nashville.
 Officers say Gibbs was one of sev- eral men who have received warn ings, ostensibly from the Ku Klux Klan, to improve their morals or leave this vicinity, but they say they have no evidence to connect the klan with the affair in which he was slain. Harris also, the officers say, has been in bad repute He recently was indicted on charge of living with a negro woman, but the charge was dropped on his promise to leave.
