HITCH IN THE MATTER.

Inspector Leach Cannot See His Way Clear to What Citizens Desira FOE STOPPAGE OF THE GAS WASTE Frozen Quail le Easy Game—School House at Anderson Burns— Suicide in Jail. Marlon, Ind., Dec. 19.—George Catterson, of Indianapolis, secretary of the Matthews Land and Gas company, and secretary of the executive committee of the Gas Belt Manufacturers’ association, held a conference at the Burrier Hotel in this city Tuesday night with State Gas Inspector Leach, to discuss the question of the Manufacturers’ association assisting Leach in protecting the gas supply of the state from criminal waste. The two, with Deputy Gas Inspector Kinney, were closeted at the Burrier hotel for about four hours, and the matter wag carefully considered. Where the Hitch Comes In. Catterson said that the association was anxious to employ as many men as Leach deems necessary to properly and thoroughly patrol the gas territory of the gas belt, and see that no waste is permitted. The association will pay the salaries of the men. As a consequence, the association felt that it was entitled to direct the men in their work, but to this Leach emphatically objected. He says that unless they are permitted to work under him and are subject to his control he will refuse to grant them power to act as gas inspectors. Here is where the hitch comes between the association and Leach. Cannot Appoint More Deputies. Leach says that were the men not under his authority, It would be Impossible for him to keep in touch with affairs pertaining to his position. Cattersou attempted to obtain an inspector’s authority from Leach, but the latter refused to give him such power. Leach has had a ruling from the attorney general to the effect that hs cannot appoint any more deputies, *but he may hire assistants, which is held to mean practically the same thing. Leach is the only gas official, aside from his deputy, Kinney, that will have authority to file charges against a gas law violator. The assistants, however, could take such action against a violator as a private citizen would take. QUAIL HUNTING MADE VERY EASY Jack Frost Helps the Hunters, Who Have No Need f<»< Guns. Frankfort. Ind., Dec. 19.—The nlmrods who hunt in the vicinity of GeetIngsville are enjoying the unique experience of bagging quail by simply picking them up and breaking their necks. When the heavy rain came last Friday the quail got soaking wet and when the mercury began tobogganing toward the lower end of the tube Friday night the birds buddled down In an effort to keep warm. The result was that the sudden zero weather froze their wings fast to their bodies, and thus renders them incapable of flying.

The ice is so heavy that the quail cannot run very fast, and large numbers of them are being caught SenHathvial Suit at Evan.ville. ’Evansville, Ind..
