Seine Makes a Lltrht Haal. " The first attempt to seine Lake Manawa to rid the waters of the fish which are said to prey upon the bass and other game fish was made yesterday afternoon under the supervision of Deputy Warden Brown. Rep resentatives of the motor company and a number of othera interested in the attempt were present. Owing to the seine, which was a new one, not being property weighted with lead the attempt was a dismal failure and the haul only brought to light five gars and one bass, all of which were "grilled" u the meshes. The gars were destroyed md the bass returned to the lake. When the men were bringing the net to .he surface Deputy Warden Brown, who was anticipating a big haul of the maraud ing class of fish, excitedly exclaimed, "Now boys, you will see the greatest sight you evor saw." When the net came up with only six fish, and they simply entagled by tbelr gills In the meshes, his disappoint ment was keen. Another attempt to seine the lake at another point will be made Mon day.

Posses of citizens sre scouring tho country for two miscreants, with good hope of suc cess, while a third of the gang lies wound-'d in Jail here. The trio of highwaymen en tered the home of Mr. snd Mrs. Sullivan, In the outskirts of the town, at a late hour of the night. Mr. Sullivan had just sold a farm and had $1,800 in the house at the time, which was evidently known by the robber. They presented revolvers and demanded that they stand up, with their faces to the wail, and hold their hands aloft. There was nothing left for .Mr. and Mr. Sullivan to do but comply. One of the robber stood guard over them while the other ffot the money. They compelled Mr. Sullivan to tell where It was locsted, so that the securing of the coveted cash ws an easy task. The two who made the search left the room first with the money ln their pos session. The other followed on the run. Mr. Sullivan was quick-witted and imme diately seized his shotgun, which was con cealed near by. He hastened to the door and fired at tho retreating man. The rob ber evidently turned Just as the shot was fired, for he received tho charge In his face and tho whole side of his face was torn off and one eye destroyed. He fell to the ground, unable to proceed, but the other two showed fight and opened Are on Mr. Sullivan. He returned the fire two or three times and felt confident that he hit one of them. Sullivan was not harmed. The two fled in the darkness and the citi zens were aroused at once to mnke a hunt for them. The wounded man was captured and brought this morning to Knoxvllle. where he was placed in Jail. He Is badly woundei, i but able to talk. He refused to give his name. All he asked was: ; "Did they hurt Jim?" The wounded man has not been Identi fied. The two men who got away had the money.

'At the first conference in New York," he continued, "It was understood that the com mittee from the National league had full power to dispose of all questions that might arise. Since then it has developed thst the league committee had no authority to act conclusions ly on any matter. Two weeks ago wrote Chairman Herrmann that if the National league would clotho its committee with all power we would be prepared to meet them, but not until that action had been taken. "Mr. Herrmann wired me that he would have his committee vested with full power. He has made an earnest effort, but failed. We were prepared to meet the men of the National league In the open and strive for a fair and Just settlement. We were mindful of the fact that the patrons of tho game, the country over, wanted peace, and to serve the best interests of base ball we were pre pared to do our part to bring peace.
