PHILIP LEVIN SHOT.
Cha ries Tstum, Lunatie. on the war-
path-Great Excitement az
Gainesville.

A deadly weapon in the hands
of a lunatic came near causing
tragedy last night.
About 7:45 as Philip Levin
was coming down California
street he was met near Ed
wards drug store by Charles
Tatum who. without warning,
began shooting at him with IS
caliber pistol. Levin ran across
the street to Coopman's saloon
and was followed by Tatum
Leaving Coopman'S pursued
and pursuer dashed down the
street, a bullet now and then
serving to accelerate the speed
of Levin. who darted into Phil
ips' drug store. Tatum was
close behind and was caught in
the rear room, thrown to the
floor and his pistol taken from
him.
Five shots We're fired and
three of them hit Levin; one
bullet lodged in the right Shonl-
der. one went through the mus
cles of the left arm and one
| plowed a furrow across his left
leg. The wound in the shoulder
is the only serious one. the ply
sicians being unable To locate
7 the ball last night.
Tatum was taken To Jail and
when questioned said he knew
exactly what he was doing. He
said he knew who he was shoot
ing and that he came to Gaines
Vile for that purpose.
Tatum *, or was. Il Son-in-
law of John Sharrock, a ginner
near Dexter. His wife obtained
IA divorce about a year ago.
/ Tatum killed man named
Bynum some years ago and
the general opinion was that he
should have been hanged, but
he escaped through some techni-
cality. Philip Levin, the man
so brutally assaulted last night.

About two years ago n man
went down California street
yelling, cursing, preaching and
singing. That mai was Tatum
md he was ON his way TO the

he made his escape a short time
ago, and the officers here have
been on the lookout for him
since his escape.

tried before Judge Scott in this

charge of disturbing the peace.
He was arrested at the instance
of the people in the neighbor-

of the unbalanced condition Of
his mind, but as he could not
be held on "a charge of lunacy
the complaint was made for a
disturbance. II was evident
then that he was demented and
that his insanity had n tendency
to dangerous violence. He was
held in the sum Of 500, and
after being confined in jail for
a while was released and went

The principals Of large number Of
Chicago schools were asked ms to the
prevalence Of the cigarette habit among
their pupils. The replies to the In.
quiry constitute composite picture Of
n cigarette-smOker. The portrait Pre-,

lusterless eye, an elusive and mean ex.
preston; In word, the cOuntenance of

ance and attitude, the general aspect of
a bright and blooming youth whose
charm Is gone. The picture of tho
dwarfed, distorted, enfeebled mind Is
likewise full Of terrible suggestiveness.
The change from interest In study and
a faithful discharge Of duty to listless.
ness and downright skulking and re-
belliOn Is powerfully set forth. All this
Is not the testimony Of fanatics, but OF
sOber-minded instructors who shudder
to see bright boys going down to phys.
ical and moral ruin. This Chicago
story Is merely the story Of smaller

now TO SAVE POSTAGE.

There Is n good deal of criticism of
senator Villas for having quoted the
entire speech recently made by Sccre.
tary Carlisle In Chicago as a portion of
his remarks In the Senate recently, but
that was little trick to enable the
Democratic Congressional Committee
to circulate the speech as campaign
document at Government expense. As
delivered In Chicago the committee
would have been compelled to pay post
age upon every copy sent out. After
II appeared In the Congressional Record
as part Of Mr.. Villas remarks Il could
he sert under the frnnking privilege.
One hundred thousand copies have been
ordered at the Government printing
office for general circulation In the
sound-noney campaign that IL now he.

the administration, and the postage
upon them would have been at least
$1,000 II not $4,000. This IL n very

THREE SMALL FISHES.

Doorkeeper Glenn, of the National
House of Representatives, has 100
places to be filled under his Jurisdiction.
He has on file In his Office just $4,000
applications for these places, and they
have all been sent In since Congress
first met last December. This would
indicate that the American people had
gone mad over political place hunting.
1t Is an unpleasant fact that our pOliti-
cal system has brought on grave abuses
In government, but 1t Is a question II
the effect on individuals has not been
w0rs. than the results of the abuses of
public Office holding. The canker of
office holding and place hunting has
made useless the lives of thousands of
men who would otherwise have given
good account Of themselves In the bat
tie of life. Tie unfortunates may be
divided into two classes. There Is the
man who, having worked for his party,
thinks himself entitled to an office and
spends more time, energy and money to
get 1t than would suffice to get him a
good living at his ordinary occupation.

An important decision relating TO
ownership Of interior lake property
and what constitutes trespass was rem.
dered recently at Oshkosh by Judge
Burnell Of the Wisconsin Circuit
bench. 1t is Of particular interest to
sportsmen. as 1t defines hunting and
fishing rights along the lakes ana
streams In the Interior. II the decision
shall be sustained by the Supreme
Court Of that State 1t will constitute
leading case and be cited as a prece.
dent Of high authority. Illinois, Indi.
ana. Wisconsin, Iowa, Michigan and
Minnesota have many small lakes and
streams at which sportsmen rendex.
vous In the open season for hunting
and fishing. Numerous incorporated
hunting and fishing clubs have bought
property on the lakes In all these
States for the purpose Of acquiring
monopoly Of shooting and fishing priv.
ileges. Many farms throughout the
Northwest are estimated at higher val.
ues because they border on lakes and
water courses. The Wisconsin decision
relates to the rights of all classes of
owners. In this case the Neepeenauk
Gun Club had bought and leased
ground adjoining meandered lake
In Green Lake County In that State.
The officers Of the club prosecuted for
trespass several individuals who fished
In the lake and hunted duck along its
shores, using boats and dogs to capture
the birds that they shot. Judge Bur.
nell held that no trespass had been
committed. The waters Of a meander.
ed lake are public property. The rights
Of llttOral owners extend only to the
shore line. not over water nor to the
land under the water. Property on the
bank Of a lake Is different In this re.
spect from property on the bank Of
river. The owner Of river property
owns the water and the bed Of the rlv.
er to the center Of the channel. II he
owns land on both banks he owns the
entire section Of the river on which his
land abuts. II the river Is navigable
It may be used for public purposes, but
the public has a mere easement, not q
right Of ownership. Local statutes
may change this rule In some respects,
but where there Is no local legislation
on the subject the common law pre-
walls. or course this adjudication Ia
Of little interest applied to great
streams and lakes. but It Is a guide
for clubs Of spOrtsmen ana for private
owners Of property on small fishing
streams and on the banks OF lakes ire.
Quented by aquatic fowl. LittOral rights
those relating to property on mean.
dered lakes. extend only to low water
mark. Riparian rights, relating to
property on river, extend to the cen.
ter Of the stream. The Wisconsin court
confused the two terms. "littoral" and
riparian" but the principle Of the law
is clearly stated and is Of very general
interest.
