THE TRUCKEE RIVER FISH
They Will Be Protected From
Destruction Below the
SaWmills.
The Supreme Court Says That Dump.
ing Sawdust in a Stream Is
Public Nuisance.

A very mportant decision was handed
down by the State Supreme Court yester-
day in the case against the Truckee Lum-
Der Company. For years past the Fish
Commissioners have been doing all in
their power to stock the streams of the
State with food and game fish. The natu-
raj enemies of the fresh water streams of
California are numerous. Added to these
are the fellows who kill fish with dyna-
mite and others who take fish in and out
of season without regard to the law.
Nor are these all, for the destruction of
fish in streams by the pollution of the
waters by decomposlng sawdust, edgings
and SLABS is SO great that many fine trout
streams are completely ruined for fishing
purposes. There is plenty of law on this
subject requiring the owners of sawmi Is
to dispose OF the refuse OF the mills other
wise than by dumping it into the brooks
and creeks; but it has seemeo almost i'm
possible to accom- plish the desired end.
Among the large trout streams is the
Truckee River, that rises In Lake Tahoe,
flows through the eastern part oil Cali
fornia and empties into Pyramid Lake, in
the State of Nevada For years there
was no better fishing ground in the West,
for the gamey mem bers of the finny tribes
had full sway in both lakes through the
river.
The Truckee Lumber Company estab-
lished its mill on the bank of the river in
Nevada County, and ran all of its refuse
into the stream, completely polluting the
waters and killing hsh by the wholesale.
The California Fish Commissioners,
thr ugh the Attorney Generals Office, de-
cided to put a stop 10 this wholesale de-
struction of hsh, and brought an action in
Nevada County, eDjoinlng the company
from dumping its sawdust and other ref
use into the Truckee River, on the ground
that it was public nuisance. 1t was an
i'm mportant question for the court to de-
cide-whether the killing of fish in fresh
water unnavigable stream could be con-
strued as a public nuisance. The iniunc-
tion was granted, and from the order for
the injunction the lumber company took
an appeal to the Supreme Court.
The lumber company took the position
that the reasons set forth in the COM
paint we're not sufficient for cause of
action, and that under the circumstances
nopublic nuisance was being committed
The Supreme Court after reviewing the
case decided that the order for the perma-
nent injunction should be affirmed. The
Fish Commissioners regard this as de-
cided victory, and it is likely that many
similar actions will be brought in order 10
protect the fish in the freshwater streams
now rendered positively filthy by being
pumping ground for sawmills.

A Fatal Fire.

"A catal ClEos
BROOKLYN, N. Y, March "a fire
in this city today, supposed to be the
work of an incendiary, caused the
death of three persons and injured an
other so badly that it is thought she
will die. The dead are Annie Duncan,
Charles Goddard, 40 years old, and
Jon Duncan, 1S months old. The lat
ter was thrown from the fourth story
window by his mother, Annie Dun
can. She followed a minute later and
died tonight in the Homeopathic hos
pital from a fractured skull. Mrs.
Goddard also jumped at the same time
and received internal injuries that the
doctors at the hospital say may result
in her death. The tragedy occurred
in story brick house. corner OF Au-
burn place and Canton street. Mrs.
Duncan and her child and Mr.. and
Mrs. Goddard occupied the fourth
floor. Goddard was a consumptive,
and when the flames and smoke got to
his room he was in bed. His wife
hearing the screams of Mrs. Duncan,
ran to the front window forgetting
her sick husband. Seeing Mrs. Dun.
can jump, she followed, landing al.
most simultaneously in the street. The
two women and the baby were imme.
diately put into the ambulance and
hurried away. The child died before
he reached the hospital. The body OF
Goddard was not found until after the
fire had been extinguished. The dead
man was found near the window,
showing that he had dragged himself
from his bedroom to the window for
the purpose of getting to the fire es-
cape. Before reaching there he was
overcome by smoke. People on the
other floors reached the ground un-
hurt by means of the fire escapes.
The fire started in the CELLAR near the
air shaft, and two minutes after it was
discovered the entire building was in
flames. The rapidity with which the
flames spread leads to the belief that
fire bugs caused the fire. The loss on
the building and its contents will
amount to $4,000.

Christians Plllaged.

CAREA, March 9.--Advices received
from Retimo, on the north coast, some
80 miles southeast Of here, show that
the pillaging of the houses and shops
of the Christians there is still going
on. The vice consuls stationed at Re
timo have asked the consuls here that
prote ction be afforded the Christians.
In Canea itself there has been con-
tinued robberies of houses owned by
Christians who are absent from the
city. This pillaging is done by Turk.
ish soldiers. Protests have been made
to the acting governor, but no satisfac.
ton was obtained, he saying that the
robberies cannot be helped as the
Turkish soldiers have to pillage to live.
Tew6k Pasha, the military governor,
has sent to Heraklion for another
battalion of troops which will make
the condition of affairs worse than
ever
