mems Protective Union at the beginning OF
the season to compel eannerymen to paw
them 81 10 per fish, while the cannerymen
refused to pay more than AZ cents per
pound. has been settled. The canuerymen
yesterday evening offered to give cents
per pound. To-day the fishermen held
meeting and, after much discussion, it was
decided to accept the price OF 5 cents per
pound. There is a general Ood feeling
over the amicable adjustment Of the differ
ences between tho fishermen and cannery-
men.
The fishermen's union deny all completely
or sympathy with the lawless acts of those
fishermen who threw overheard the fish
caught by independent fishermen during the
strike.
This arrangement of paying for fab by
the pound will destroy the OCCUPATION of
"privateers" on the river who secured much
Of the larger fish from some of ths fisher
men, leaving the smaller fish to 90 to the
Gamers who were paving for them by the
fish, thus making the average weight
of fish furnished the canneries low. The
present arrangement is considered mora
equitable for both fishermen and Gamers.

LIVERNASH WAS INSANE.
The Eccentric Sonoman Outlines a
New Defense,

SANTA Rosa. April 15.-Ths prosecution
In the case Of E. J. Liyernash, on trial for
assault with intent to murder d. Ethridge
of Clnverdale. closed its side of the case this
forenoon. Livernash then outlined his
defense, and in so doing made a brilliant
opening statement. The theory of hyp-
notism. so strongly dwelt upon at the first
trial, was not adhered to. Livernash
claimed that he would be able TO prove that
he inherited from his parents an impaired
nervous system, and that in his constitu-
tion there had always been lurking ten
deucy which, if unchecked, might develop
into insanity.
Among the witnesses examined for the
defense was Congressman Geary. Mr..
GeaTy testified that. in his opinion, Liver
nash was crazy when the assault was COM
mitted. Other witnesses swore that they
considered Livernash BADLY off, at that
time.
The trial was continued TIL Tuesday.

UKIAH, April 15.-At an interview with
Judge Overton, member of the quartet of
Foster, Markham, Smith and Overton, the
so-caled "big four" owners of the Dona-
hue road, the Judge remarked:
Before buying this road we figured
closely on the immediate cost of the plant
and the prospective cost OF putting it In
better working order. We counted the
present productive resources Of Marin,
Souoma, Lake and Mendoeino, the i'm
mediate cluster of counties we have to do
business with and their resources. We also
counted about 10000 people in these four
counties, and we then reckoned that with
such assistance as we might be able to
extend we might reasonably expect that
within the next four years these 10000
people would have grown to 100000. These
were the factors that figured in the trade
and we do not believe we have made a mis-
take. We are not now considering a north
extension movement, however, but we
should like to see somebody come down
south with the Eel River and Eureka Rail-
way aud meet US freIe at Ukiah. Possibly
we might render some assistance to any
person that should engage in such an enter
prise He would find in us a friendly ally"

lever IN them would have objections to
