——The biggest pike that was ever
caught in this part of the State was landed
from the axe factory dam at Mill Hall a
few days ago by two boys named Bowman.
One of the lads was fishing in the dam
when he hooked a fish so big that it jerked
the rod from his bands. The lad got
into a boat and gave chase hat after he
got the rod he was unable to land the fish
until his brother went to his aid. The two
of them managed to get the fish into the
boat and when they got it ashore found
itto be a pike twenty-seven inches in

——One day last week two men passed

who saw the above went before justice of
the peace Hayes Schenk and wanted to
Swear outa warrant for the arrest of the
Swo men, as it is against the law to haul
any kind of an animal or fowl with its
legs tied. Not being fully acquainted with
the law the justice asken that prosecution
be deferred for ten days autil be could look
the matter up. In the meantime the names
of all the parties concerned are being kept
as quiet as possible and the result may be
an amicable settlement of the case, In
this connection it might be said that a
large number of farmers are ignorant of
the fact that the above is the law and it
would be well for them to heed the above

bail for trial in October.

cation, which has extended over a

sation in local social circles, and the

PROHIBITIONISTS ARE ACTIVE
Will Make a Strong Fight For 3
Plank in Platform—Bryan Declarey
Anti-injunction Plank Has Not Ye
Been Written,
Denver, June 30.—The fight over thy
anti-injunction plank in the Demo
cratic platform is not the caly strug-
gle in which the committee on reso
lutions and possibly the convention
itself may be involved.
It developed that the prohibition
question is to be brought to the front
and that a desperate effort will be
made to have a plank declaring in its
favor placed in the platform. The
prohibition movement will be headed
by General James B. Weaver, of Iowa,
who demanded of the recent Demo
cratic convention in that state that it
declare in favor of prohibition. Gen:
eral Weaver and his followers were
not successful in their efforts in their
own state, but not daunted by their
failure have made arrangements to
bring the matter up before the Demo
cratic national convention. They
claim, moreover, to have strong back:
ing from a number of delegations from
southern states which have recently
passed prohibition laws, and it is de
clared confidently by Gemeral Weaw
er's adherents that if the Democratic
national platform does not cogtain a
prohibition plank it will only be for
the reason the the hardest kind of
fighting has béen unable to secure ite
adoption.
The antiinjunction plank continues
to provoke a large amount of discus
sion among such party leaders as have
already arrived for the convention
While opinions differ as to the exact
nature of the plank which should be
adopted, all are of one mind in saying
that it shall be a definite and specific
statement. Such members of the na
tional committee as have discussed
the matter are a unit in saying thai
the wording of the anti-injunction
plank shall leave no possible doubt in
the mind of any reader as to where
the party stands on this question.
It is now generally believed, how:
ever, that the anti-injunction resolu
tion will not provide for trials by jury
in cases of contempt of court, or favor
in any way measures which might be
construed as Interfering with the pre
rogatives of the federal courts,
The friends of Mr. Bryan say that
such of his critics as are already ex
pressing themselves in fear of a radi
cal anti-injunction plank are fighting
the air. The plank has not yet been
written, it has not been drafted, and
its form is still a matter which is
under deep and careful consideration
It is said to be the desire of Mr. Bryan
to consult as many of the promineat
members of the party as it is possible
before any decisive action in formu
lating this resolution is taken.
The vice presidential situation re
mains the same, although the boom of
Lieutenant Governor Chanler, of New
| York, seems to have weakened some
what and his name is not mentioned
as prominently as it was two days ago.
! This is largely due to the announce
ment made by Norman E. Mack, na
tional committeeman from New York
that he has no authority to speak for
Mr. Chanler and that his Interest in
the movement was dictated by friend
ship, and by a sincere belief that the
New York official is well qualified to
take second place on the ticket.
