HYER IN COURT.
Buck ing Hard Against What Ap.
pears a Losing Game.

The habeas corpus case of John Hyer
occupied Judge Wallace's attention yester-
day. Hyer is a young New Jersey real es-
tate agent who was arrested in this city
charged with embezzling $4,000. Detective
Walton has arrived here from New
jersey with reQuisition for the runaway,
and applied to the Governor for warrant.
The Governor, 1t seems, regarded the pa
pers as somewhat defective though not IA
tally so, and granted the warrant.
Before hearing any testimony or argu-
ment Andrew Walton, the Governors mes
senger from Sacramento. was permitted to
present to the Court tho papers sent out
from New Jersey and upon which the Gov
ernor issued the warrant Hyer and his
wife both testified that he left New Jersey
October oath, going first TO New York.
thence to this city. This was to disproye
the allegation in the complaint that the
crime accused was committed after that
date. Judge Wallace said that, in the COM
munication from the District Attorney of
Hudson County to the Governor of New
jersey, it was stated that the crime was
committed on October sd.
Carroll Cook, attorney for the defendant,
argued that there was no crime Of embeZ-
Element in New Jersey except of money.
He also laid great stress on the defect in the
AhuiStlASil Si4"le lbS VIC u " DdNt pctu
committed on the Doth or 9th of October.
Ex-Judge Wheeler, representing Chief
Crowley, explained Hyer's case as follows:
His employer. TO whom his relation was
that of confidential clerk, gave him certi-
fed bank checks, which he was to fill out
with the names of creditors. Instead of
Obeying instructions he inserted his own
name, drew the money and fed to this
State
Police Officer Seymour and Detective
Whitaker testified that when they arrested
Hyer he denied his identity, and afterward
offered to bride them in order TO obtain his
release. He asked them TO fix the price
In the Police Station, however, the young
man negatively confessed his guilt by de-
claTlDg that the amount of the embeZze-
ment was not $4,000 probably not half that
sum.
Judge Wallace said at the close of the
arguments tuat. under the generally recog-
nlZed policy of eXtraditOn, as laid down in
the Federal Constitution, and the additional
fact that the Governor, to whom the whole
process had been addressed, and in whose
hands the prisoner really is, had regarded
the case as enc warranting eXtradition, he
did not feel justified in setting aside the
warrant on mere defect, as long as il was
not absolutely fatal.
1t was perfectly plain how his ruling
would he, so before he made it Mr. Cook in
terrupted with request that he take the
matter under adyisement till Thursday ut
O'Clock. He wanted a chance TO try the
Supreme Court. The Judge consented, re-
marking that he did not feel like cutting off
any mans liberty as long as he had a par
ticle of law on his side.

FISH AND GAME.
Poaohing Indians Bother the State Conn.

Poaohing Indians Bother the State Conn
mlssioners.
About 100000 salmon are now being
halched at the State hatchery near Sisson,"
said Ramon t. Wilson, one of the Califor-
MIA Fish and Game Commissioners, yester-
day, land 100000 have already been
Matched there, the eggs being procured from
the national authorities at Washington.
I'VE have also entered into an arrange
ment with Commissioner Mills of Nevada
TO divide the expense Of procuring spawn Of
Eastern trout. which will be brought from
New Hampshire. Each commission will
share will be placed In the new hatchery at
Bear Valley, which. by the way, is the
finest and most complete in the country.
The deputies of the commission have
been put to great deal Of trouble through
the difference in the close seasons of Call
fornia and Nevada. The open season for
trout in this State ends with November LIST,
while in Nevada the season is a month
longer, closing on December 1st There are
lake trout In the San Francisco market now,
but the dealers claim they procured them
from Nevada. As only two weeks remain
until the close season of the latter State will
90 into effect the commission has taken no
acuon In the premises, more especially in
view OF recent decision at San Diego, in
which II was held that men having in their
possession deer killed in Lower California
were guilty OF no mi.demeanor L don't
think that was good law, but the decision
was maintained.
Every now and then deer are killed for
food purposes. but that is almost impossible
OF prevention. No deer are being aughiered
for hides. The Indians are the greatest
pOachers on the face Of the earth, and by
coming over from Washoe give us great
trouble. They spear great quantities of fish
unless placed under constant surveillance,
and these they dry and keep for their use
during the winter.
" The enforcement OF the existing statute
against Indian poachers is made difficult
from tie fact that there Is an old unrepealed
law on the statute book permitting Indians
to fish in certain counties during the regular
close season. The commissions duty would
be clearer and the enforcement Of the law
rendered more easy were these old laws
reconciled with the later enactments."
