DESIRES SEINING STOPPED
Motor Companj Applies to the Federal
Gou t fur an Injunction.
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

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

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

Inc.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DE3 MOINES, Dec. 8. (Special.) A
serlo of meetings devoted to agriculture
and kindred subjects was commenced at the
"tale capitol this morning. This includes
meeting of the State Park and Forestry
association, the State Horticultural .oclety,
the State Farmers' Institute, the State
Agricultural department, the Assolcatlon of
Fair Secretaries and an exhibit of corn and
fruit. All the meetings are to be held
In the atate capitol, where the Horticul
tural and Agricultural societies have rcorrs
assigned them. The meetings bring to-
gether several hundred of the most prora
( inent agriculturists and those interested
I In fruit culture, the managers of district
and county fairs and professors in the col
leges. The meeting on parka and forestry waa
first on the list. Of this association Prof.
F. H. Macbrldo of the State university Is
president, and Prof. L. H. Pammel of the
State college Is secretary. This evening
Trof. Macbride presented a view of the1
present condition of Iowa parks illustrated
by lantern slides. A paper on government
I tree planting In the sandhills of Nebraska
I was read by J. C. Bluraer of Halsey, Neb.
i A paper was read by Do La Sheldon of
Ames on civic Improvement for small
cities. Wesley Greene of Davenport read
! a paper on wild plants for parks and gar-
dena. This Is the second year of this newly
i formed association and Its progress has
been remarkable, the membership being
considerable and embracing many who are
f Interested in park and foreatry.
The meeting of the State Farmers' In
stitute and the State Horticultural society
will occur tomorrow, the program of the
latter holding over until the next day.
The corn exposition is a new thing. The
State Agricultural department has offered
prizes for seed corn and a large number of
exhibitor have sent corn to enter the com
petition. This Is the outgrowth of the
new policy entered upon nt the State col
lege at Ames, where Prof. Holden has been
secured to take charge of a department
having for its special object improvement
of the varieties of corn in Iowa. The fruit
exhibit of the Horticultural society is not
very large.
The reports of the officers of the State
Agricultural department, which alone has
to do with the management of the state
fair, will show that the fair of this year
was the most successful in the history
of the state and there is a comfortable bal
ance on hand despite the fact that more
Improvements of a permanent nature were
made at the state fair grounds than ever
before.
