Wtihout Proper Diet They
Lack VPep"; Federal
Experimenters Find
WASHINGTON, D. C, Sept. 21.
Flah, to become gamcy, require vl
tamlnes tho same as human beings
do to havo pop.
This fact has just been demon
strated by the United States govern
ment fish hatchery officials In. the
courso of their ten-yeur program ot
experimental work in slocking the
glnclcr-fed lakes of Glacier national
park with tho principal speclos of
trout. Up to dale 8.0U0.000- brook,
black spotted, rainbow, cut throat,
dolly varden and grayling varieties
havo been planted In a- hundred
streams and lakes of the Montnna
wonderlnnd.
Grayling Was Puny
Nature seemed to have put a well
balanced diet for all except thO'gray
ling, to tho disappointment' of Un
cle Barn's fish oxperts. These did
not propagato properly. They got
sluggUh and kept dying off until the
fish dletlsts discovered theer must
bo something Inching In the nat
ural food of tho grayling. Careful
study of tho situation revealed there
was a single Item missing from their
bill of fare. So the hatchery cat
orors added to the finny tribe's menu
a latin ontroe, "Gammavui Pnlex,"
which moans jut fresh water
.shrimp. Thcso wcro served In such
lnrgo orders that thoy multiplied
thousand! ot times taster than tho
greedy trout could devour them. .
lint 'l.oofc At 'Km Now
Two seasons of eating this morsol
nddod so mnny calories to tho gray
lings' dirt that they now nro giv
ing light-rod anglers tlio battles ot
their lives. Graylings aro oa the
rampngo. Thoy a.ro poen Icapdng
up tho swlf:est rnplds where no fish
over tried to navigate. This sum
mer thoy have been taken "on the
fly" up the) streams as far north as j
tho Dolly River-country, Just south
of the Canadian border. And, on
tho placid Rocky Mountain lakes
thoy aro spalshlnga bo. ninny "rings"
with their acrobatic performances
that It look 8 as If they aro churn
ing the waters with a program of
"dally doinn" oxeiclscB Just to work
off Burplns energy.

NOTORIOUS
BOOTLEGGERS
Lee Summers, Don Metz
ger Up To Old Tricks;
Poison Bottles Used
Don Motzgcr and Lee Summers
were arrested yesterday afternoon
on a charge) of having intoxicating
liquor in their possession. Summer's
wife and another woman were with
the two men when, the arrest was
made. '. .
While enroute tor a few hours of
deer hunting. Sheriff L. L. Low and
Game Warden M. J. Barnes, came
upon a car parked by the side of the
road tour miles west of here on the
Round Lake road. Immediately be
coming suspicious because of the
reputation of this particular dis
trict Low and Barnes stopped their
car and running Into the brush a
fow feet off the roadside saw two
men and two women scattering In all
directions. On the ground were
about 15 gallons ot moonshine .in
the process of being transferred from
two small' barrels to a number of
bottles ranging In' capacity from a
pint to a gallon.
McUger Is Caught
Summers managed to . get away
from the sheriff and the game war.
deivWit other three were brought
to the city and Metxger waa lodged
in the jail. The two women were
not held.
Barnes and Low returned soon
after and renewed their search for
Summers, who was last seen In the
deep brush. After a thorough
search through the dense thickets.
Low-and Barnes climbed up on a hill
overlooking the thicket Summers
was supposed to be hiding in, threw
stones, and fired shot into the
ground to scare the man from his
hiding place. . 1
Summers was driven out. but
managed to escape by way ot the
road before the sheriff realized he
had gone. Ah attempt to catch him
proved fruitless.
This morning Summer's attorney
Wm. Marx, appeared tor htm and
furnished the. 8300 bail, necessary
to keep htm out ot jail. Metzger Is
still In jail but hopes to raise the
amount tor his release by this af
ternoon. . Both men pleaded not
guilty ami asked for a jury trial. The
case will come up for trial, next
Wednosday before the justice ot the
peace. .
Ilooze In Poison Bottle
None ot the bottles Into which the
liquor was being poured were clean
nt a tod tho sheriff, and five at least
had once contained medicines and
poisonous mixtures which had not
been washed out. One bottle was
brought In which showed two table
apoonstul ot lysol In the bottom. This
la deadly poison If taken Internally.
Two syphons used to transfer the
liquor from the barrel to the bottle
were confiscated.
According to Low this district on
the Round Lake road where the ar
rests woro made has for some time
been generally known as tho loca
tion tor local bootleggers aought for
privacy when they wished to bottle
their goods. There are a great many
empty bottles strewn around In the
brush thore, testifying to bottling
activities In the past. The place
where the arrest was made Is
known as W'hlskey ridge.
This Is not the first time that
Summers and Metzgor have been
brought before the authorities for
moonshlnlng. Last spring they were
arrested and found guilty of a charge
ot bootlegging and let off with a
small tine, on the understanding
that they were to give up moon
shining and run a ranch near Bly.
Just preceding their arrest on this
chnrgo, W. G. Clow, who was chief
of police at that time, had fired a
number of shots Into the automo
bile containing the two men, This
