Bounty on Crows -Depends on Connell and the Commissioners.

The text of the “crow bounty” law is here published: Section I—Be it enacted by the general assembly df : the state of Indiana, that the county councils and th 4 boards of commissioners of eaefi county in the state of Indiana may appropriate and cause to be paid out of the county treasury a sum not exceeding 10 cents to any person who shall deliver to the auditor of the county' the head of any common crow, and the further sum of 5 cents for each and every crow's egg so exhibited In lots not less than ten: Provided, That such person shall first tajee and subscribe.an oath that the crow to which such head belonged, was killed in the county, and that such eggs so produced were taken from a crow's nest in the county: Provided, That this act shall not apply to hawks pr owls. The law carries an emergency and has been in effect since March 4th. The law makes it optional with the county' councils and the boards of commissioners and evidently there is no available fund at this time. The council will probably not appropriate funds for the purpose unless requested to do so by farmers and it Is very doubtful if the request will be made It is probable that a thousand crow's heads a day would be brought in forbounty for a time if the money was available. This would mean the expenditure of SIOO a day. it would materially affect taxation probably, but the good resultant might justify the expense.

ATTORNEY-GENERAL WILL NOT RISK AN OPINION.

Says Granting of License* Is Up to Commissioners in Townships With Less Than 1,000 People. The editor of The Republican addressed a letter to Thos. M. Honan, the* attorney-general of Indiana, asking him if a saloon could be licensed in a township with less than 1,000 population where the commissioners have set the limit at 1,000. Mr. Honan made prompt reply. He does not care to assume any responsibility in the matter and says that the granting of the license is entirely up to the county commissioners, acting on the advice of the county attorney. It was pointed out in the letter addressed to Mr. Honan that considerable election expense might be saved if a ruling was made, by him on this matter, but the attorney-general wiiT not take a chance at it. The letter means that where the commissioners are “Sr y” no licenses will be granted in townships with less than 1,600 people and that where the majority of the commissioners are “wet” that licenses will be granted. Then the losers can carry the matter to the courts. If the commissioners should grant a license and the temperance people should decide tofight it, they would have to put up a bond for the saloonkeeper’s costs and pay his attorney fees if the saloonkeeper was victorious. It means that no matter how the election goes in Wheatfleld township no saloon can be established there. The letter from the attorney-general reads: “I am in receipt of your letter of the 17th inst. in which you request my opinion whether a township, having a less population than one thousand, can have a saloon, where the commissioners have set limit at a thousand. That is a question which can only be settled by the board of county commissioners, acting -upon the advice of their county attorney, in granting or refusing to grant a license to sell intoxicating liquors, when they have been petitioned so to do. I cannot give an opinion on this question, as I am not authorized to advise either an applicant for license or the board of county commissioners. Very truly' yours, . THOS. M. HONAN, Attorney General.”

Big Wrestler Coming Here For Mutch With Tom Coburn.

Charles Olsen, the greatest wrestler of his weight in the world, will be here Saturday night. His opponent will be Sam Murbarger (Tom Coburn). Both (|re from Indianapolis, where Olson has made a large amount of money and where he has a high sheading in the business world. He is a better wrestler than Coburn, that is, he has beaten him many times, but when Coburn is in condition the Swede has a tussle to land his blocky and scientific opponent. Olsen and Murbarger met at Crawfordsville about six weeks ago and Olsen won, but the first fall required 55 minutes and the second 42 minutes. A week before in a handicap match Murbarger had staid an hour with Olsen. A week or two later Olsen staid a half hour with Hackenschmidt. Olsen has figured in many good wrestling purses and in Indianapolis it is not uncommon for him to get from SIOO to S3OO for a match. He was induced to come here by Murbarger and his manager, who believed that his reputation would bring out a large crowd. There has been a lot of wrestling here and it has been well patronized and some of the contestants have ranked well up in the wrestling game, gut no one with the reputation of Olson has been here before. He is a real champion, and Gotch, the acknowledged world's champion as a heavyweight, says that Olsen and Beele and Dr. Roller are the greatest American wrestlers next to himself. Olson is about 6 feet tall, weighs about 185 pounds and is a gentleman in every respect. Tha> Indianapolis Star recently spoke of his extensive business interests. He engaged in the picture show business several years ago and in addition to having three of the best located shows in Indianapolis he is at the head of a film service and has extensive Interests. He has talked of giving up wrestling for some time but like most men who have made a success of a thing he clings to it and it is sai>l now that he intends to keep at the game and in training until he gets another chance at Dr. Roller, who won from him at Indianapolis about a year ago after Olson had secured the first fall. Olson will arrive here on the after-' noon of the match and will doubtless be a big attraction. The prices for seats for this match will be 50 cents, except at the ring side, where they will be 75 cents. Manager Ellis is now reserving seats on order. Lots of men will open « SSO pot oA a pair of Jacks and kick up an awful rumpus the 'next’'morning if their wives want to opeif a ff bank account for the baby.

Receiver Asked for Conn Band Instrument Plant at Elkhart.

Application for a receivership for the C.~ G. Conn band instrument factory was filed in the Elkhart circuit court Friday by William J. Gronert, for twenty years manager of the plant. It is alleged that Conn is indebted $350,000 to Elkhart banks and financiers and that his assets are only $125,000. Gronert asks the court to give him a judgment for $119,808 he claims is due him from Conn as the result of an agreement made when he entered the employ of the manufacturer. Gronert claims he entered into the agreement with Conn in 1894 and that in addition to a certain salary he was to receive as manager he would receive 50 cents on every valve instrument turned out by the Conn factory, the agreement to continue in force until Gronnert turned over to Conn SIOO,OOO. With the turning over to Conn of this amount, instead of receiving a commission on each instrument, was to receive 25 per cent of the net income of the plant. Gronert claims in 1894 he turned over to Conn $66,909 and in 1895 gave Conn $57,397, making a total of $124,036. From Jan. 3, 1896, to May 1, 1910, according to Gronert, the net profits of the concern were $1,116,073, of which his share, according to contract, was $279,210. Of this amount, it is claimed, $119,808 is still due and it is for this that he asks judgment Gronert says he is unable to prove his statements because he does not have access to the books. He asks for an order of the court compelling Conn to produce his books in court. The filing of the suit has caused a sensation in the Thirteenth congressional district, Conn at one time haw ing served the district as representativejn congress.
