Important DecisiOn of the supreme to"rt
on the Rights of Stockmeu.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 3. The supreme court has
affirmed the judgment uf the Utah courts in
the case of Buford e, al. against houtz ct al.
in which the former. who owns ah.oNO acres
OF uninclosod gazing lands, asked for an
injunction To prevent llout1 from allowing
his cattle to uespu,s upon Ruiords land.
Buford's property il odd numbered sections
of railroad land and the eject Of the in-
junction wonld be to prevent Houtz and
others from nsing b10.0n acres of public
lands adjoining Bufords private property,
and gives the latter monopoly OF
this much uf the public domain. The
court says il Is common law
of highly cultivated countries that graziers
must keep their animals of of nnenclosed
lands belonging 10 others, but that such u
doctrine would be greatly injurious to the
sparsely settled frontier region The GUS
tom and consent Of all departments of the
government for nearly hundred years
have given the implied license 70 people to
Craze upon the opeu and uneuclosed outlet
lands. and that il always bas been held in
frontier regions that man WAS not liable
for irespass if his cattle strayed from the
public lands to uncnclosed private estates
and have generally required property own
ers To erect fences when they do not wish
their land trespassed upon. ana as this is
the Law of Utah. the court denies the appli-
cntion for an Injunction.

LEGISLATION IN NORTH DAKOTA.



BlsMARcK, ". d., Feb. S. Special. The
greatest fight in the legislature promises to
be on the passage of the railroad and grain
warehouse laws. As the railroads and ele-
vaiors work together, it is made a power
full combination. hut the farmers are organ
iz,d for the battle. Ia this they are assist
ed by the representative of n French syn
dicaie that wants the first grade wheat OF
North Dakota. The bill now under discus
sion compes the railroads TO furnish free
elevators for handling wheat, the same M
they furnish the merchant n depot for his
freight. II is also proposed 10 establish
North Dakota grades and not depend on
Minnesota or Duluth as heretofore. There
will be stormy times in both houses the next
few days. Among the bills introduced to-
day was one authorizing the incorporation
of lottery companies under certain restric-
tions for the purpose Of raising revenue ia
dofray the expenses of the state. The bill
provides for paying one hundred thousand
dollars into the state treasury at once. and
twenty-five thousand dollars annually there
after for the right TO do business. As this
nearly pays tho running expenses Of the
state. the measure meets with almost unnn-
imous approval.

Another Severe Storm Breaks Loose, but
Causes Little Alarm.
The storm which passed over Sacramento
yesterday morning developed into yerita-
BILE blizzard by the time it reached the
Sierra Nevadas. 1t ragged all day and last
night, and the railroad had TO call its re.
serve force out again in order to keep the
road clear.
Fortunately all trains had passed over the
road before the storm set in, SO that there
was no danger of repetition of the block
ade. The west-bound train which was to
arrive in this city last evening wes stalled
as soon as it reached Truckee. 1t will re-
sumo lis journey this morning, however, if
the storm lets up. Both of last nights
overlan6s East-bound went up as far as
Colfax, and will be moved on this after
noon.
The cyclone snow plow broke down
again yesterday during the BLIZZARD and
had to be brought to this city for repairs.
II was thought lsst night that the damage
would be repaired before daylight this
morning, and it was the intention to start
The plow back as soon as it was accom-
plished. Meantime the rotary plow is
operating at Cascade, which was up to yes
terday guarded by the cyclone.
Snow fell in immense quantities during
the storm. and SO severe were the blasts that
the ehovelers had to get in. doors and leave
the work of keeping the road clear to the
push plows and the rotary.
The landslide at Cape Horn Mills has
been cleared eft, and in all probability

how he found the WOMAN and said that, as
she did not know enough to come in or out
OF the wet, she must be a little daft.
The woman's version of this side of the
story was that she was compelled to walk
the streets as she was utterly without
money or friends. AS TO her peculiar ac-
tions she explained that they might have
been the result of extreme hunger.
The physicians said that the woman wss
perfectly sane, but sadly in need OF the
necessaries of life.
Judge Van Fleet issued an order in ac-
cordsnce with the opinion of the doctors,
and the patient was taken to the County
