IDAHO SHEEP LAW AMENDED
SECTIONS KNOCKED OUT BY TIE
SUPREME COURT.
Provision Requiring Dipping By De-
putty Inspector Is In Conflict
With the Federal Constitution.
Especial to The ReraldO

Boise, Ida, Dec. 13.-The supreme
court today declared unconstitutional
important sections of the sheep inspec-
ton law OF 1895, as amended by the last
session of the legislature. The question
was raised. in the case of the state VS..
James Duckworth, from southeastern
Idaho, who appealed from a judgment
filming him for violation of the act, he
having brought sheep into the state
without first having them dipped by
the deputy sheep inspector.
The court finds these sections in con-
flict with section 2, article 4, and sec
ton s, article l, of the federal consti-
tuition. The court says: Under the
provisions Of said act sheep cannot be
shipped from Washington or Oregon
or from any other state over the trans
portation lines in this state without
first unloading such sheep and having
the proper deputy sheep inspector in
spect and dip them
The opinion goes on to show that
similar laws in other states east of
Idaho would hold the sheep out long
time and seriously harass and burden
interstate comm cree.
The opinion reciteS section 4, showing
that it. in effect, prohibits the bringing
of sound sheep into the state during
the winter months, as they cannot be
brought until they are dipped and
cannot safely be dipped in winter
Again, ewes in the state need not be
dipped between March Is or May Is.
Continuing, the opinion says:
Under the guise of inspection and
quarantine, said sections place unnec-
essary burdens and restrictions upon
bringing sheep into this state for any
purpose whatever, or transporting them
through the state to the markets of
/ the east, and make unnecessary and
prejudicial determinations against
sheep whose owners may desire to
! bring them into the state, and are re-
pugnant to the provisions of the fed
eral constitution
The provisions for dipping in the
state are not disturbed

Swear to Different Stories About
the Recent Killing.
WHO FIRED FIRST SHOT?
FEDERAL AND STATE INVEST
CATION Is FINISHED.
Colorado Committee Took the Testi-
mony Of Captain Beck and the
Indians-No Passes Were Issued
and the Game Laws Had Been
Explained to the Indians.
Especial to The Herald.)

White Rocks, Utah, Dec. 13.-The in
vestigation by the Colorado commits
sioners appointed to look into the trou-
BILE between the Indians and game war
dens in Colorado came to an end here
today The commissioners will start
tomorrow for Denver, but will stop at
Fort Duchesne long enough to get the
testimony of DR.. Flagg, the surgeon OF
that post who first attended the
wounded Indians on their return from
the fight with the wardens. The tes-
timony taken today was that of the
three sQuaWS and the Indians Starr and
Yumbutz, who were implicated in the
shooting affair. Captain Beck and DR..
Reamer were also before the commits
sioners.
Captain Beck's testimony was mainly
to show that no passes had been is
sued to Indians to hunt in Colorado
and to disprove the evidence of Warden
Wilcox, that he had been shown per-
nit by Starr at the time of the trouble
in Colorado. Captain Beck said the
only permit he knows of was one is
sued to Starr personally, permitting
him to leave the reservation to visit a
friend in Colorado by the name of Sam
Bassett, and plainly stated in its face
what the permit allowed.
Captain Beck testified that the In
dams had at various times been made
acquainted with the game laws of
Colorado. In their council meetings he
had had the laws read to them and
fully explained.
The testimony of Starr, Yambutz and
the three squaws all went to prove that
the Indians were not the aggressors
and that the Wardens fired the first
shot. This is greatly at variance with
the evidence of the wardens themselves,
who all swore that the Indians fired
first. There is variance also in the tes-
timony as to the number of game war
dens in the party that attacked the
Indians camp. The game wardens tes-
titled that in the party of Indians hunt
ing in Colorado was buck, 20 years
of age, who could speak the English
language, and that they had conversed
with him for an hour. Strict inquiry
had been made in this matter, but
nothing can be learned from the In
dams here regarding such a man. 1t
is certain that no such educated In
dian belongs to the Ute tribes in Utah
If the Wardens are telling the truth
he must belong to some other tribe.
During the investigation the Indians
manifested the utmost interest. They
swarmed around the agency and con-
versed among themselves on the mat
ter and the probable outcome of the
investigation, but they were very quiet
Special Agent Reynolds has about com
pleted his investigation and in few
days will send his report to the sec
rotary of the interior.

COMMEMORATE CONCLUSIONS

General Otis has received a telegram
from the commanding officer at Fort
Duchesne, stating that all the Ute In
dams had returned to their reserva-
ton, there being none now in Colorado.
He also received Geographic intelli-
gence from Forts Grant and Huachuca,
to the effect that the cavalry is out
looking for the Indians that were re
ported to have chased some cowboys in
that section of the country, but had
been unable to find any traces of In
dams. The three companies of cav
airy sent out from Fort Grant re-
turned yesterday and those from Fort
Huachuca have been instructed to
return as soon as possible. AS near as
can be learned, there are no Indians
missing from the reservation in Ari-
IONA or New Mexico

LUETGERT CASE TODAY.
Fight Over the Point of Corpus
Deficit.

Chicago, Dec. 1S.-The Luetgert jury
for the second trial was completed this
afternoon and tomorrow the second trial
of the sausage maker viii begin.
Attorneys Harmon and Riese, in their
defense of Adolph L. Luetgert, have de-
cided to base a strong fight on the point
of the corpus deficit. They have been
making a special study of the law cover
ing this point. They will contend for
the principle of common law enunciated
years and years ago by Lord Hale, that
a man cannot be convicted where the
corpus deficit and the offense are both
proven by circumstantiaI evidence. Either
the body must be produced, or the MUIR
der proven to have been committed and
proved by direct testimony.

Especial TO The Heraid)
White Rocks, Utah, Dec. 13.-Couriers
arrived here today from Colorado with
advices to Captain Beck from Lieutenant
Barber and Mr.. McAndrews. who left
here with party of Indian police week
ago to look for Uncompahgre Utes, re-

that not an Indian has thus far been
found and that if any are off the reser-
walton they are hunting singly or in very
small parties
Lieutenant Barber and his men were at
Goff's ranch when the couriers left. Mr..
Golf stated that only one party of Indians
had been seen since the trouble with the
Uintahs. This consisted of three bucks
and two squaws, who had returned to
the reservation ten days ago.
A report in circulation that Ignatius and
large band were out was disproved by
Lieutenant Barber, who found that party
in Utah hunting stray horses. Barber
and McAndrews will continue their hunt,
going to all the famous hunting resorts,
and will make a thorough investigation
before they return.

MESSAGE FROM GOD.
Notorious Alice Hartley Creates
Sensation.

San Francisco. Dec. 1S.-Mrs. Alice
Hartley, who killed Senator Foley at
Reno several years ago, created a great
deal of excitement in Emanuel Baptist
church last night. At the conclusion
of Rev. j. George Gibson's sermon, she
dramatically declared that she had a
message from God, to the effect that
DUrrant's life should be saved, and it
was the duty of the congregation to
save him.
Rev. Gibson, who was Durrant's pas
tor, refused to see the condemned
mans mother when she called with a
message from her son, asking the
preacher to tell all he knew about the
murders in Emanuel church.
A final appeal for q communication of
the sentence of death Will be made to
! Governor Budd this week.

Victoria, B. c., Dec. 13.-The steamer
Topeka, from Dyea, brings the news
that more than 1000 in-provisioned
men, stampeded from Dawson during
the latter part of October and impelled
by the haunting fear of famine, are
now madly forcing their way over the
mountains. AUX, the Indian mail car
rier who brings this report, left the
Yukon capital fully ten days after the
Dalton party. He says that the van
guard of the terror-striclen army is
following less than a week behind him
AUX declares that fully 25 per cent of
the stampeding army will never live
to recite the terrors of their flight from
the north.
STEAMERS HELD UP.
The river steamers Bella and Weare,
it now appears, did not land more than
100 tons of provisions on their arrival
in Dawson in the early part of Octo-
Der, owing to their having been held
up at Circle City.
The only bright view of the present
situation is that the crossing of the
pass above Dyea and Skaguay has
lately been greatly improved, and
within a month will be in excellent
condition.
RELIEF PARTIES.
Dyea parties, headed by George F.
OlmeT, propose to go to the relief of
the hungry at Dawson City. They
viii make the United States govern
ment an offer to deliver 80, 600 pounds Of
provisions within 80 days after the
time of starting for Dawson, for the
sum of S75, Geo. They already have &c.
coo pounds OF provisions cached at
Lake Bennett, which they will take in
over the Chilkoot pass this winter.
Timer viii go south by the next steam
er to lay his proposition before the
secretary of war by wire.
1t is stated that material for the pro-
posed railroad over Tal1u pass has al
ready been shipped from the east.
STORY NOT CREDITED.
Seattle Wash, Dec 13.-The story
that an Indian named AUX had come
out from Dawson City bringing the
news that large number of people
were fleeing from Dawson, is generally
discredited here. c. G. Wood. who ar
rived here from Juneau yesterday, said
TONIGHT:
While in Juneau I saw AUX. I am
satisfied from his answers to my ques-
lions that he had not come from Daw-
son at all. AUX had been in Juneau
ten days before left, and none of the
people supposed to be few days be-
hind him had arrived yet"
Other arrivals from Juneau corrob-
crate Woods statements and say that
no credence should be given the story
at Juneau.

CORRECTING A FALSE I'M
PRESTON ABOUT THOSE
PARK BONDS.

An erroneous impression has gotten
out IN regard to what the additional
tax would be il the city should buy a
park site, Some misinformed persons
have said that it would be a big burden
on the city. when it would amount to a
very little thing.
Say, for instance, that the city would
buy the lake site for SS5,00O The as
ssssed valuation of South Pueblo and
Bessemer, the park district, is 81 600 900.
The bonds can be floatsd at 8 per cent,
which would make the yearly interest
"a, $50, and the principal would not be
payable for fifteen years. Say, also,
that the average realty holder in Bes-
semer pays tax on Il house assessed at
s400, which is fair estimate. His
share of the interest or additional tax
would be AZ cents per year; that is all.
If his house were assessed at $500, it
would he fifty cents.
Therefore when people talk about an
additional burden of taxes they GER
tainly have not figured it out. If Lake
Mnnequa should be bought it would
not be paid for until the expiration of
fifteen years, the interest only being re
quired. Whether the bonds are voted
or not it is well to understand the
question.

In reviewing the speeches OF Il. V
Debs and Edwin Boyce last. week, the
INDICATOR said to beware OF Boyce, that
he is dangerous leader for the work
ingmen and wor Id do them no good as
he is simply violent fellow, unlettered
and an unrsasoning agitator. Boyce's
action in the Leadville strike bore out
the truth OF the criticism within few
days. 1t was his interference at Lead
vile that prevented a settlement be-
tween the mine owners and the miners
Governor Adams and F.. V. Debs, the
acknowledged labor chief, agreed with
the managers, and everything would
have been settled but for Boyce, the
president Of the Western Federation Of
Western Miners. He said no, and his
say went. This man does not belong in
Colorado at all; he is product Of Butte
Montana, but he comes here to foment
and perpetuate trouble. Tho attempt
