He holds that Mr. Adams corral was a
trap in which the elk in question we're taken
even If they entered it voluntarily and were
not driven in by the owner. He holds that
the ownership of all the wild game Is In
the state and is the property of the state
and the action of Mr. Adams in holding this
class Of property contrary to the demand OF
the game warden is in violation of not only
the statute but the common law. Mr.. Adams
only recompense for saving the animals from
starvation Is said by the attorney general to
be had from the state legislature, which
may reimburse him for his outlay in saving
the states property If it so desires. The
attorney general directs that formal demand
be made upon Mr.. Adams for the immedi-
ate release OF the imprisoned elk and If this
demand is not complied with that criminal
and civil actions be commenced against him
at once by the authorities of Uinta county
for the purpose of maintaining the rights
OF the state as the legal and proper owner
of the animals.

QUESTION OF OWNERSHIP OF ELK.
Wandered from Pnrk In Search of
Mood Into j. 4. Alnms, CnrruI


Food Into j. A. Adams Corral.
CHEYENNE, Wyo., May 19-(Speeial)-
An opinion has been rendered by the at
torney general of Wyoming in novel case
which probably could not arise in any state
OF the union except Wyoming. During the
past winter an immense number of elk. es-
timated to be over 5000, came from the
forests and mountains In and around the
Yellowstone National park into the Jackson's
Isole region south of the park to winter
Food was scarce and the SHOWS deep and
thousands OF these animals perished The
ranchmen OF the region were compelled to
build strong and high corrals in order to
keep the ravenously hungry elk from break
ing In and deyouring the hay put up for
cattle. On the ranch of J. A. Adams seventy
nine elk found their way into the corral
and were shut up and retained by Mr. Adams
who decided to try and domesticate the ami
mals The game warden for the region de-
cided that Mr.. Adams action was a violation
OF the state game law and ordered him IN
release the elk, Mr.. Adams refused to do
this and appealed to the governor for per
mission to retain his prisoners In his let
ter OF appeal Mr.. Adams states that these
elk were simply corraled by me without any
enort at pursuit. on my own premises, while
they were In the act OF depredatlng upop
my pastures and hay rcks inside my en-
closure" He suggests that but for the fact
OF his taking them into his possession they
would probably have perished from starya-
tion and insists that as he does not intend
shipping the elk from the state but simply
wishes to hold them for the purpose OF do
mesticauon, he is not violating any law.
The attorney general in his opinion unon
the question holds that Mr., Adams Is violat
ing the state law which forbids taking deer
elk or mountain sheep by any pitfall or trap

Serred with them l do not desire to talk for
publication"
All efforts to induce Boln to speak of his
own plans or those OF his family failed. He
did not appear to be especially distressed ex-
cept by the warmth of the monday sun,
which, he remarked, was exceedingly oppres-
sive.
There were only four attaches of the
sheriff office, besides the reporters, present
when Bolln was brought in and there was
consequently no excitement about the court
house. Even the loungers in the corridors
and on the steps did not know that the man
who was to soon begin on his nineteen-yeaI
term in the penltentlaiy had just passed by
on what was probably his last trip to the
sheriifs cffiCe
The mandate from the supreme court was
received at the sheriff's office late yesterday
afternoon and shortly afterward Bolln was
taken over to the Jail. The sheriff has
thirty days in which TO transfer Bolln to
Lincoln, and as that officer is out of the city
the time for the transfer will not be settled
until his return.
WILL TRY UNITEp STATES COURT.
The news that the supreme court had con-
frmed Bollns sentence was received by his
attorney with perceptible surprise j.
w. West, who has had charge Of BoEins de-
fense since he was first arrested said that
they now proposed to make an effort to get
the case before the United States supreme
court on the ground that the law Of Ne
braska did not sufficiently authorize a prose-
cution of grave felony by information. This
point has beer insisted on by Bolln's attor
neys all through the case.
Mr.. West says that he will apply to the
United States supreme court for writ of
error at once and If this is secured he will
then ask for the release of Bolln on a super
sedeas bond. His position is that the constitu-
tion Of Nebraska. like the federal constitu-
tion and those OF most of the other states,
provides that a man cannot be compelled to
answer for a felony unless he is indicted by
a grand jury. But the constitution also pro-
vides that the legislature may provide for
prosecution upon information drawn by pub
He prosecutor. He contends that the law of
except by Inference and that the prosecution
OF Mr.. Bolln on an information filed by the
county attorney was therefore unconstitu-
tinnal

STATE HAS NO OFFICIAL FLOWER.
Efforts Toward Designating One rg-

PIERRE, S. D.. May 19.--CSpecial)-Th
question as to what is the state flower was
raised in this city today, and in reply to
the question the general expression was that
the golden rod had been selected. An in
vestigation brings out the fact that while
efforts have been made for several years to
secure an expression OF the people OF the
state on this question through the schools,
no progress has been made. Mrs. II. p. Farr
OF this city, who is the state secretary Of
the National Floral Emblem Society OF
America says she has been trying for the
past two years to secure concerted action OF
the county superinendents of the state to
nave the matter presented to the people
through the teachers and their pupils, but
she has so far failed to secure action
by enough of them to give the mat
ter any standing. While her efforts
have not as yet been very en-
couraging, she is continuing her efforts
to secure an expression, and would be
pleased TO have the teachers of the state
take action and notify her as to what they
have done. AS soon as an expression can be
secured the matter will be presented to the
legislature for action.

could not swim, turned over in the

a bar before any of the men lost their hold
and their cries brought help from some of
the bOatmen along the shore,
