Another Fish Sein Case.

Joe Ellis, the other renting farmer from west of townjwho was fodnd with a fish seine iiPhis possession, plead guilty ' last Friday before Squire Tsoxsll, and] was penalized, fined and costed a total of $84.90. The Squire let .him off as easy as the law would allow,'and also suspended, during good behavior, half of the $lO fine,* which the taw imposes, in addition to the S2O penalty. Mr. Ellis did not claim to have ever had a seine license, but he says the seine (did not belong to him. That of course cut no figure in the eyes of the law, as long as he had it in his possession.

On account of the G. A. R. encampment at Cleveland, Ohio, the Monon will sell round trip tickets for $8.85, via Chicago.
