WOULD RUIN MANAWA FOR ANGLERS Game Warden Grants Permission to Have Carp, BarTolo and All bat Game Varieties of Fish Taken Ont. N. W Wells, president of the Omaha t Council Biuffa Railway and Bridge com pany, who holds most of the property at Lake Manawa In his came as trustee for the company, yesterday applied to Judge Smith McPherson of tho United Statea court for an order restraining Deputy Fish and Game Warden E. C. Brown, Poe Scott, William Hall, John Coyle and sixteen others from seining In tho lake or from cutting hales In the ice for the purpose of seining. Deputy Fish and Game Warden Brown, who also nils the position of district oil Inspector, recently conceived tho idea that it would be to the benefit of the game fish In Lake Manawa If all other kinds of fish were exterminated. With this idea he I said to have granted permission to I Joe Scott and a number of other fishermen ' to seine the lake under his personal bu- I pcrrlslon and to take out all buffalo, carp, ! gars and other fish not classified as "game" by means of seining. It is understood that Scott and hi fellow fishermen are prepar ing to seine the lake on a wholesale plan and have purchased a net sixteen feet deep and 200 feet long. In bt petition for a restraining order Well calls attention to the fact that the United State government recently at a great expense stocked the lako with game fiih and that to permit these men to now seine the waters would practically destroy the lake as a fishing resort for angler with rod and line. The right of the dep uty fish and game warden to grant the permission to Scott and his fellow fisher men to seine the lake Is also questioned. In support of the petition tor the re straining order If la shown that there la no natural Inlet or ontlet to the lake by which It might become stocked, or re plenished with fish. Also Restrains Dike Cutting. Last year the motor company constructed at considerable cost a dam at the lake and from time to time threat have been made to cut It by men who formerly were per mitted to seine there without hlndgance. In view of these threat, which the motor company cays have been recently renewed n Injunction restraining the cutting of the dam is also asked tor by Mr. Wells. Attorney for the motor company state that when they learned of the Intention of Deputy Brown to have the lake aelned, they requested him to refrain from doing o, as It would undoubtedly result In a great destruction of game fish recently placed there by the government and that It wo doubtful If the seiners would be particular about distinguishing between the game and other ., varieties of fish which might be caught In their net. It 1 said that Deputy Warden Brown insisted that It would be for the benefit of the game fish to exterminate the other varieties and declined to withdraw the permission he had given to Scott and bis fallow fisher men. About two year ago Cut Off lake was seined In order to get rid of the carp and other fish which preyed upon the baa and other game Dah. The result was that the lake was practically depopulated of all kinds of fish. It Is feared by President Wells that If the seining is permitted at Lake Manawa the same result will follow there. Deputy Fish and Game Warden 'Brown was not In the city yesterday, so hla tide of the controversy could not be learned.

Search Marriage and Divorce Records. Freeman Reed, clerk of the district court, received yesterday a most pathetic letter from Mr. Elmer Lagler of Lester shire, N. Y., asking blm to forward her a copy of her marriage certificate. Shs ex plained that about nine years ago her borne was burned to the ground and the certifi cate so badly scorched that the writing on It wa obliterated. Recently she removed to New York state and complain that her husband's people have repeatedly insulted ber by alleging that she waa never mar ried to Lagler. The record show that on April 25, 1S85, Mattte Kllloran of Omaha, aged 27, wa marrtad In thl city to Elmer Lagltr of Lincoln, Nab-i agtd 8. Clerk Reed also received yesterday a let ter from John C. Hummer of Macomb, 111., who dealred to learn It hla wife bad se cured a divorce from blm In tbs court bars during the last three years. The writer explained that he had "been up north" for the last three years and hi relative had supposed he was dead. He had lately lai&rnoil that hla wife had married Benin. ber reputed husband being a rancher living near Emerson, la., and that ahe waa now a reldent of Council Bluffs. The court rec- ord failed to show that Mr. Hummer ever ,,r., . rtivnrr.a here and the marrlaae record tall to show that she secured a license here. N. Y Plumbing Co., telephone 256.
