SHOOTING TOO EARLY
SLAUGHTER OF YOUNG PRAI-
IsIE CHICK EMS.
Game Wardens Meet and Discuss
the Fish Net Matter and
illegal Shooting.

The state fish and game commission
met at the capitol Yesterday to discuss
the matter of the case which is to be
brought against the commission by the
fishermen Oh Lake Pepln whose nets
were burned by the employees of the
state at that place. Secretary Andrus
stated that the cases would have to be
brought against the commissioners of
Wisconsin, where the nets were burned,
as the warden employed at that point
by the Minnesota commission had moth
ing to do with the taking of these nets.
The matter will receive the attention of
William Ely Bramhall, the attorney of
the commission, who was present. and
the main point involved is whether the
warden has right TO destroy the nets
without first resorting to due process of
law. This will test the conStltutionality
of the law of 1895 relating to this mat
ter.
The commission met in executive ses-
sion, and went over at some length the
plan of work for next year. A plan to
prohibit the killing of young prairie
chickens was discussed, and the COM
mission decided that 1t will be fight
from now till Sept. ID to protect these
birds, for, Notwithstanding the fact that
additional wardens and deputies have
been employed, the killing goes on, and
the commission is poWerleSS 10 prevent
it. This and other routine matters were
taken up during the session. The fish-
ermen whose nets were burned at Lake

warden of the Minnesota commission

railway. McMurran built the commits
sion houses. and then proceeded 10
bring his underground railway into be-
ing. He employed as his lawyer John
Z. Bullet. then prominent young at
torney of the city. The railway com
pany was organized and called the
Wisconsin Railway company. lead-
ing many people to believe that
it was part of the Wisconsin
Central railroad, hence Willard
scheme. After long struggle an Or
dinauce was gotten through the city
council granting the franchise and right
of way through kittson addition and
further up in the city. That was the
last OF the railroad scheme. The time
ran out in which by the ordinance the
company was to begin operations, anu
then some months later the council re-
peaied The ordinance.
McMurran was a bright and enter

matters 81. Paul has ever possessed.

Government Case against the Wi
mona & ST. Peter set for Trial.
The trial of the case of the United
States against the Winona d st. Peter
Railway company has been set for Fri
day. This is al action brought by the
government to cancel patents for cer-
tain lands 10 the railroad, and TO restore
them 10 the public domain. In this suit
between 10000 and $4,000 acres are in.
vOlveu, and there are two suits besides
against the st. Paul q Sioux City road,
which involve a considerable amount of
other lands, all of which were granted by
the state of Minnesota to the roads
named. Robert q. Evans is the special at
torEey for the government in these cases
having been appointed over year ago
to take charge of the litigation. Judge
Thomas Wilson represents the WiEOna
G st. Peter road, and j. A. Tawney
represents persons to whom the lands
have been sold by the railroad. Judge
Wilson went before Judge Williams, of
the United States circuit court. yeSter-
day and objected to the continuance
that had been made in the case until
next week and asked that the trial be
proceeded with at once, and the case
was set for Friday.
Judge Wilson said yesterday that the
lands had been granted to the roads
about twenty years ago, and no question
was raised as to the title until this
action was begun. In the meantime

LAW OF JURISDICTION
DOESN'T AFFECT JUSTICES OUT
SIDE ST PAUL.
They May Try Criminal Cases of
Which the Municipal Court
Has Jurisdiction.

The supreme court yesterday handed
prohibition issued to restrain Erick
Olson, the New Canada justice OF the
peace. from trying two assault and bat
terry cases.
The decision is of interest here, mas
much as it defines the jurisdiction of
Justices of the peace relative to that of
the municipal court. The chief Justice
holds that the criminal jurisdiction of
justices of the peace outside the city
proper is not impaired by chapter 64,
General Laws of 1878, under which it
was claimed by the applicants for the
writ of prohibition that only the munic-
-ipal court had jurisdiction in cases of
this kind. The whole matter rested on
the construction of sections 104 and 105
OF chapter 64, General Laws OF 1878. The
former section strips justices of all jur-
isdiction. civil and criminal aud trans
ferred all cases pending before justices
of the peace to the municipal court.
The latter section. which was
passed the year following the passage
of the former, restores this jurisdiction
save as to crimes and cases of forcible
entry and detainer. The attorneys for
the defendants contended for section
l04, and those for Olson centended for
the latter. Chief Justice GiIlillan states
that in neither section is there mention
of Justices outside the city, and holds
that while the Jurisdiction OF these jus.
tices might be restricted without such
mention, It would be great strain to
hold it done by words Which refer more
naturally to the place where the iuris-
dictloh is to be exercised than to the
place where the subject OF it shall arise,
which is the case with the words .the
jurisdiction of The municipal court shall
within the city be exclusive" ETC.. as
contained IN chapter ga.
The chief justice concludes by saying
that the criminal jurisdiction of Justices
outside of the city stands OH the same
footing with their jurisdiction over
cases of forcible entry and detainer.
The syllabus follows:

Writ Quashed. GILFILLAN, CD.
The jurisdiction of justices of the
peace, except of those within the city
of st. Paul. over criminal cases, is not
affected by the provisions of General
Statutes 1876, chapter "a. relating to the
municipal court of st. Paul.

MIXTURE OF SMITHS.
One Tries to Palm Himself as the
Prisoner Smith and Is Fined.

PRISONER Sn11GQ ana Is F1neO.
GrifDn's gay CHANDELIERS are still occu-
pying the time and attention of the DO
lice court. The cases of the men ar
rested at the time the police made their
raid upon the establishment on Seventh
street have now been pending a month
and are not yet under way of trial,
Yesterday afternoon Judge Orr rend-
cred decision on the question of prior
jeopardy, submitted on briefs by t. d.
OBrien, who is retained to defend the
men. The decision was to the effect
that the men must stand trial, as the
plea at bar could not hold. When the
cases were called for trial Mr.. O'BrIen
again moved for continuance, saying
that he wanted jury trial and that he
might perhaps take some other legal
steps to protect his clients. These steps
might lie in the nature of an appeal.
The defendants were called by Clerk
Ahern and stepped to the front. When
the name of W. A. Smith was called,
young man stepped up and said "heIe."
Sergeant Sullivan electrified the court
by rising and saying: This is not the
prisoner. This is another man."
In this statement the sergeant was
borne out by LII cut. Sexton and the
other police officers who aided in the
raid. The man who had voluntarily
sought trouble was not known to the
officers as one of the prisoners taken at
the raid. Smith said that he was Smith
and 1.-The" Smith who was wanted.
Mr.. OBrien SAID that he did not
know the man, and that if what the
officers said was true. he had nothing to
say. Impersonations of that character
were statutory offense aud the court
had right to punish the man for con-
tempt. The cases of the remaining de-
PENDANTS were continued until Fri
| day afternoon at Q O'Clock, and
the quasi Smith was held over
for further examination. While
the others started to leave the court
room Smith attempted to follow out, but
was brought back by Sergeant Sullivan.

that he could not write. Clerk Ahern

The nomination OF q county ticket
seems to he worrying the Republicans
IN this city more than anyone else.
There is host of candidates for various
positions who do not know yet just
what office they would find the least op-
position for, and they are out as candi-
dates for anything in sight. so that il is
an office with perquisites. When they
are asked what the Republicans want
they claim everything, but asked what
they will get they take to the sea with
the general hope that they will drift
into some port III the general storm
which they think is raging. Some of
tEem even think that the Democrats
. will cOncede that they should have no
opposition To some of the Offices, ,particu-
iary that of district judges. On that
point they proclaim for nOn-partisan-
ship.
'a Walter HOlcomb thinks it would be
wrong to drag the judiciary into poll
ties, but when asked what basis of divi-
sion he would make OH this score, said
that the Democrats ROW have their
share of the district judges. Asked if
lie would favor placing the probate
court and the district attorneys Office
In the same category, he said that he
believes that only the district court
should be placed in that list.
-
John L. Townley suggested that the
Republicans might be given the two
district judges if the Democrats be
given the county attorney and the
coroner.
Another suggested that the county
attorney and the district court clerkship
ought TO be taken out Uf politics along
with the Judiciary.

Benn Davis proposed that the Demo-
Gratis, the PopuliSts and the Republicans
get together in joint convention and
lame county ticket. The advantage
he saw Ill such course would be the
saving OF campaign expenses and would
result III selecting the best of officials.

The Democrats generally who were
spoken 10 declared in favor of nominat-
ing ticket of good, sound, capable
Democrats and electing it from top to
bottom.
As the time comes on for conventions
to meet and place in nomination the
county officers the question OF fit and
proper men is being discussed increas-

mentioned among the Democrats for
