MAKES A SUGGESTION.
Judge Riner Talks of His Recent
Kansas Experience.
Jurisdiction Over Reservations
Coded to the United States.
How Such a Law Would Work to
the Benefit of Wyoming.

Judge Riuer, in the course of converse
ton yesterday, suggested a law which, if
it should be adopted by the legislature,
would be the means of saving considerable
money to the taxpayers of the state. The
law he suggested is one that has been
adopted IN Kansas and its legality has
been established by a decision of the
the Uuited States supreme court.
The Kansas law is the one in which by
an enactment of the legislature the state
surrendered to the United States the
Jurisdiction over the reservations in the
state, only reserving to the state the right
of taxation of corporations doing
business on the reservations and
the right to serve civil papers
upon persons on the reservations.
The law has worked very successfully in
Kansas and has saved the state considerable
money. Judge Riner mentioned the trial
of a soldier at L~eavenworth, similar to
the Parkinson trial, in which he was ac-
cused of numbering a companion on the
reservation. The trial was conducted in
the United States courts and was done
very oheaply as the court being able to
issue a venire from over the state had no
trouble in securing a jury.
He brought up the Parkison case as an
illustration of the benefit that would
accrue from the proposed law. In that
case both the accused murderer and the
WntEIaraI nar IIntNAI SNaNaa
soldiers and the crime was committed
upon a United States reservation. The
accused was tried before a state court and
the result was that the county had to pay
heavy costs in a trial where no real state
interest was at stake.
He thinks that the right to tax corpora
tons and to serve civil processes upon
the reservation should be reserved to the
state. After the Kansas law was passed.
d railroad crossing the military reserva-
ton refused to pay state taxes on that
particular piece of road and appealed to
the United States supreme court to sus-
tain the position. bat the court compelled
them to pay the tax.
AL opJcclion was mhue 10 tne proposed
law that it would have the effect of max
ing the reservation a rendezvous for the
thugs and cut-throats OF the whole coun-
! try when they found they would be safe
from the state law. Judge Riner did not
think so and mentioned a case IN which
one civilian murdered another on 40 In
dian reservation. The murderer was
tried in a United States district court and
upon conviction appealed to the supreme
court claiming that the government had
no jurisdiction in his case. but the su-
preme court denied his appeal, Consid-
ering the number of United States reser-
~vations in the state and the number of
crimes likely to be committed the Judge
thought the proposed law would be a
good one for Wyoming.

SHOP AND TRACK.
Lively Work--SIIght AccIdents--The
Paw Car Today.

The shops were working a full force OF
men yesterday afternoon, trying to get rid
OF some of the damaged engines and cars
piled up, so as to commence repairs on
the large amount of damaged rolling stock
along the road at different stations. The
shop force lost a day on the Fourth OF
July and are making up lost time.
John Thomas. one of the men. had
some curiosity to see how hard a steam
hammer could hit and, yesterday alter
noon, in a playful way, was striking
against one of them and came out second
best, with q badly sprained wrist.
The fire company turned out in good
shape when the alarm was sounded for
the paint shop the other evening, but
still the members think they need a little
more practice and training. They turned
out yesterday afternoon for a drill. They
make a fine lot OF iremen and will do
good work if ever called upon.
John e.. Heanan, an engineer, is suffer
ing from a lame hand. He skinned his
hand by striking it against a piece of rusty
iron, and nov it is badly swollen by blood

On Thursday morning Mr.. John c.
Condor, of Belfast, caught the king of
Holsters i'll the waters Of Ponobscot hay.
The lobster was caught southeast of
Moose point, in a line with Brigadier's
island. The monster was too large to
enter the trap, but as the trap was
drawn up he became ~entangled in the
heading and was safely landed in the
boat. The lobster was perfect in all his
parts. He measured 81 il hes from the
end Of the tail to Il end of the longest
claw, 20 inches around the body and IT
inches around the large claw. When
taken from the water he weighed TWEEN
ty-three pounds, but after boiling shrank
to seventeen.
Mr.. Charles E. Sanford, of New York,
offered Captain Bramhall five dollars for
the lobster, but he would not take it.
Saturday Captain Bramhall boiled the
lobster in strong pickle to preserve it.
The captain expects to realize a hand
some sum from the c~rustacean. Will
iamson's History of Belfast" mentions
the capture of n lobster at City Point
many years ago that weighed twenty
two pounds.-Belfast journal.

rhe Roek Spring. E,pIosIon.

Rock Springs has not ever yet re
covered from the shock of the great
powder explosion. No other subject is
discussed in the town. The scene of the
accident has been visited by hundreds of
people and no one tires of telling or
listening to tales Of Just how the accident
happened. The hole left by the ex-
plosion speaks for itself, although those
who heard the report do not need any
other evidence OF the tremendous char
acter Of the explosion.
Information received here last night
was to the effect that the name OF the
horseman seen riding near the magazine
about the time of the explosion was John
Santala. He and his horse we're almost
literally blown off the face of the
earth and not a recognizable piece of
either has yet been found.

There is a way of being abso-
lutely sure that the shoes you buy
are worth at least as much as you
pay for them. You may not be
able to tell good leather from bad;
you may not know the difference
between a high grade shoe and
an article of rougher make, and
yet it is your own fault if you are
imposed upon. You cannot be
expected to detect those diff
ferences in material which make
such a material difference, but
you can at least take the pre-
caution of making your purchases
where misrepresentation are
never for Il moment tolerated.
