Have Carp, N. W Wells, president of the Omaha & Council Bluffs Rallway and Bridge com- pany, who holds most of the property at | Lake Manawa in his name as trustee for | the company, yesterday applied to Judge Smith McPherson of the United States court for an order restraining Deputy Fish and Game Warden E. C. Brown, Poe Scott, Willlam Hall, John Coyle and sixteen others from seining in the lake or from cutting holes in the ice for the purpose of seining. Deputy Fish and Game Warden Brown, | who also fllls the position of district oll inspector, recently concelved the idea that t would be to the benmefit of the game fish in Lake Manawa if all other kinds of fish were exterminated. With this idea he 1s sald to have granted permission to | Joe Scott and a number of other fishermen to seine the lake under his personal su- pervision 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 his fellow flshermen are prepar- | ing to seine the lake on a wholesale plan | nd have purchased a met sixteen feet | deep and 200 feet long. | In his petition for a restraining order | Wells calls attention to the fact that the | United States government great expense stocked the lake with game fish and that to permit these men to now seine the waters would practically destroy the lake s a fishing resort for anglers 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 for the re- | straining order it ia shown that there Is no natural inlet or outlet to the lake by which it might become stocked or re- | plenished with fish. 1 Also Hestrains Dike Cutting. | Last year the motor company constructed t considerable cost a dam at the lake and | trom time to time threats have been made | to cut it by men who formerly were per- | mitted to seine there without hindpance. In view of these threats, which the motor company says have been recently renewed £1 injunction restraining the cutflng of the dam is also asked for by Mr. Wells. Attorneys for the motor company state that when they learned of the intention of Deputy Brown to have the lake seined, they requested him to refrain from doing #0, as it would undoubtedly result in a great destruction of game fish recently placed there by the government and that it was doubtful if the seiners would be particular about distinguishing between the game and other varleties of fish which might be caught fn their nets. It is sald that Deputy Warden Brown Insisted that it would be for the benefit of the and declned to withdraw the permission he had given to Scott and his fellow fisher- men. About two years ago Cut Off lake wat selned in order to get rid of the carp an other fish which preyed upon the bass and other game fish. 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. was not in the city yesterday, so his side of the controversy could not be learned.

Search Marriage and Divorce Records. Freeman Reed, clerk of the Adistrict eourt, recelvod yesterday a moet pathetic letter from Mrs. Elmer Lagler of Lester- shire, N. Y., asking him to forward her a copy of her marriage certificate. She ex- plained that about nine years ago her home was burned to the ground and the certifi- cate so badly scorched that the writing on it was obliterated. Recently she removed to New York state and complains that her husband's people have repeatedly insulted her by alleging that she was never mar- ried to Lagier. The records show that on April 25, 1885, Mattie Killoran of Omaha, aged 27, was married In this city to Elmer Lagler of Lincoln, Neb., aged 6. Clerk Reed also received yesterday a let- ter from John C. Hummer of Macomb, IIL, who desired to learn If his wife had se- cured a divorce trom him in the courts here during the last three years. The writer explained that he had “been up north” for the t three years and his relatives had supposed he was dead. He bhad lately | learned that his wife had married again, her reputed husband being a rancher living near Emerson, I and that she was now a resident of Council Blufts. The court rec- ords falled to show that Mrs. Hummer ever secured a divorce here and the marriage records fall to show that she secured a llcent here.
