a knottY Law Problem.

A case of more than ordinary interest
was tried recently before Judge Lea in
the First division of the Pulaski circuit
court. A man was arraigned on "a
charge of violating the law against
catching fish by means of trap. The
defendant did not deny that he had
caught fish with trap, but excused
himself on the plea that the portion of
the bayou on which the trap was
placed was contiguous to his own land.
Judge Lea instructed the jury to the
effect that running stream passing
through or touching a body of private
land did not afford to the land owner
the same right to set therein fish traps
as would a lake or stationary body of
water situated in and upon the land so
owned. Under the instructions of the
court the jury felt impelled to find the
defendant guilty, and he was fined IS

The mangled remains of an unknown
white man were found on the Little
Rock and Memphis railroad, seven
miles east of Brinkley recently. The
stranger was well-dressed, and the only
clue TO his identity was the name Geo.
w. Grace, which was engraved on the
inner case of silver watch, which,
strange to say, was still running. He
had been drinking and was probably
drunk and fell across the track.

PASSING OF PUGILIsM.

| 1t seems that the day of pugilism is
fast passing. That it will be so with
boxing proper is scarcely probable. 1t
| is legitimate part of athletics and
an art in which all boys should be
| trained. 1t tends to make them self
reliant and also has very great ten
dency to do away with the carrying
of deadly weapons. But pugilism! 1t
cannot go too soon. Ever since Sulli-
van licked Paddy Ryan the country
has heard more of the pugilists than
any other class. The prominence given
them has Disguised the public Then
the pretenses to responsibility and
talent that they made were really
amazing, and for a very considerable
length of time they were accepted as
genuine. The brute Sullivan had a
play written for him and drew larger
audiences than any one in the theatri-
cal profession. 1t is true he confessed
that he did not claim to be so great
an actor as Salvant. In his confession
he excepted no other actor, although
he might have mentioned Booth who
was living at the time) and Irving.
We believe that he has retired from
the stage permanently and resumed
the more congenial occupation of get
ting beastly drunk.
The great John L. was licked by the
greater Jim. and then the greater Jim
went upon the stage. Here was a
genuine gentleman pugilist, and he
maintained such a reputation until he
spat in the face of Fitzsimmons. Ma
ture came to the front and asserted its
supremacy. Here, too, was a man of
great theatrical pretense. He has
done much to disgust the public. And
now for some weeks past the dis
patches have been burdened with &C
counts of the doings of lot Of toughs
In and around FL Paso who have been
posing as pugilists.
1t has all had one good effect. The
people have become sick and tired of
the whole thing and recognize what
1t is and will have no more of. Pugil-
ism has had it's day, for a long time
at least, while actors can no more be
made out of pugilists than silk purses
out of sow's ears
