O’Neill, Neb., June 1.—Chief Game Warden George Koster will have to notify his carp to quit trespassing upon the stock and feed yards of Beaver Flats or the chamber of com merce of the Plats may ask the fish and game department to reimburse members for large quantities of corn the hyphenated fish have been steal ing from the yards. Cattle and hog feeding is carried on on a large scale in the BeaverFlats yards, that are located along the Calamas bottoms, which incidentally are in the famous flowing well and lake district of the state. Uwmg to the heavy snows in tne Wyoming mountains last winter and the consequent raising of the water table this spring portions of the stock yards are flooded with seepage water which trinkles on down to the river. The first carp ever seen in the Cala ma.3 made their appearance this spring and they are supposed to be part of a bunch which went astray when the immense carp migration from Goose lake to Swan lake through the snow drifted valleys took place last winter. The herd which became divided from the main body last were tracked a considerable distance through the snow and then were headed in the direction of the river. The carp, which are inordinately fond of corn early discovered the en trance through the drainage ditch from the river to the stock yards and began swimming into the latter to de vour the corn left on the low ground by the cattle and hogs. Some of the wiser ones soon discovered that the best corn lay upon the higher portions of the yard and solved the problem of getting at it by rooting canals to the richer bases of supplies. Stock feeders paid no attention to the big-scaled fish as long as they con fined themselves to devouring the corn left by the fattening animals, but when Big Three-Day Semi-Centennial Celebration -AND mining Race Meet -at * Three Big Days and Nights of Unalloyed Pleasure Decorated Parades, and Addresses Each Morning.

PROWLERS ARE BUSY DOWN AT ORCHARD (Orchard News, May 30.) There seems to be a prowler or a number of them working the west part of town the last few nights. He has been seen throwing a flash light into windows, and prowling about houses at late hours. On one occasion this week Jas. Withee was awakened by someone knocking on his door about three o’clock and when he answered the alarm no one was there. There is not a fellow in town who appreciates a joke any more than Jim, but he does not see the funny side to these sort of jokes, and suggests that the trick not be repeated, or the services of an ambulance might be in need.
