NEBRASKA INDUSTRY RUINED.
Decision of the Supreme Court Is q
Death Blow to Irrigation.

Decision of the Supreme Court Is a
Death Blow to Irrigation.
A decision has been handed down by
the supreme court of Nebraska that is
considered by Senator Akers a death
blow to irrigation in that state. It
declares that riparian rights are prop
erty, and that the laws passed by the
legislature doing away with these
rights are unconstitutional.
"Under this d~ecislon," said the sen
ator, 'the most cherished industry o.
Nebraska is ruined. 1t is impossible
to get water from any stream where
there are owners of riparian rights
who object"
The concluding paragraph in the
courts opinion says: "The provision
of the irrigation law of 1889 and the
act of 1898 amendatory thereof, abol-
ishing riparian rights in all streams
over 20 feet in width, is a clear inva-
sion of private property, and within

A commander in the United States

Mr.. Smith differed from Mr.. Winslow,
his opinion being that the serpent was

Steward Snow was equally positive on
the matter and remarked incidentally
that he had served no cocktails or
liquor of any kind on the Agnes that
morning.
Old yachtsmen and fishermen here
are inclined to credit the story and say
that Capt. Winslow and his compan-
ions undoubtedly saw q rattlesnake
swimming from Fishers island to the
Long Island shore, and, although they
say the occurrence was extraordinary,
they declare 1t was not impossible.
Rattlesnakes have been known to swim

Mrs. Dennis didn't see Sutherland for a

she took the oath of Office and fresh

1t was no joke for Mrs. Dennis, and
she served those papers with a calm

Feeney.s CaIways Are Gone.


Pittsburg (Pa.) special: Patrick

trolley road TO Carnegie. was so drunk
last Saturday night that he slept out
on the hillside above Limerick. There
are about as many goats as ragged chill

about the size of young horse. Mrs.

hillside. came across Feeney sleeping In
the bushes where he had fallen. Feeney
had long red whiskers, which he had
persisted in wearing. despite the en-
treaties OF friends. The goat saw the

for them. 1t bit off several handfuls
Of hair before Feeney awoke. He was
so enraged that he threw a stone at the
goat, breaking one of its legs. Mrs.
Burke went to the Thirteenth street po-
lice station and wanted TO swear out a
warrant for Feeney's arrest. Inspector
Kelly told her the Humane society Of
flee was the proper place to enter her
complaint. After she had departed
Feeney appeared at the station and
to enter a cross suit against Mrs. Burke
for the larceny of part Of his whiskers
by the scat. The remaining part had
to be shaved off and the sudden dlsap-
pearance of Feeney's long whiskers is
causing considerable talk between the
West End and Carnegie.
