A DOUBLE MURDER
A Street Fight Results I'm Death of
Participates.

Haverstraw, n. Y. April 3.-What will
probably prove a double murder occur
red here last night. The motive for COM
mitting the crime and the murder or
murderess area is yet unknown. John
Ball, Edward Sigriff and William Con-
don came out of a saloon, and as near
as can be learned, got into a fight with
one or more unknown persons, which
resulted in the murder of Ball, by hav-
ing his throat cut from ear to ear and
the stabbing of Sigriff so badly that he
will probably die. Condor, who was
the last to arrive, says he saw his two
companions struggling with two un-
known men.
Today a trail of blood was found
leading to a house occupied by an Ital-
ian family named Belzi. A search of
the house revealed bloody wash
basin and an overcoat, which was still
damp from a washing, but which still
contained spots of blood. Belzi left
home at $50 this morning, telling his
wife ne was going to New York He
will be held if he can be found.

flock were too ardent.
Ere long the village gossips led the
church into full-hedged scandal. A
committee decided the church should rid
itself of the Rev. O. Raymond Howe.

were no longer required by the Westville
congregation. IL was SAID tnat ne would

time, however, there appeared 10 be no

RIPARIAN RIGHTS.
Wisconsin Supreme Court
Decides Against Fox
River Mills.

Madison, Wis.,, Dec. "TRIP.
arian rights to great value along
the Fox RIVER of Wisconsin have
ben won in the United States
supreme court by the Green Bay
& Mississippi Canal company over
the Patten Paper company, of
Kankauna, and other paper mill
companies of that river valley.
The case has been in the courts
for many years, and involved the
question Of the right to use the
water which runs over the govern.
mvnt dams, which are situated at
frequent intervals along the river.
The use of this wat r is worth
millions, and under the decision,
so far as known, the many paper
mill companies will be compelled
in future to pay the canal company
for the water they use.
The canal company was organ
lied at All early date in the history
Of the state, and secured valuable
concessions of power rights which
ar: now, under the decision, be-
lieved to be exclusively along the
river. The Patten company, of
KaukAuna, claimed the right of a
riparian owner to take water from
the river above the dam IN canal
to its plant, use. it to rum the ma.
chinery and then return the water
to the river below the government
dam. The canal company claimed
the right to prevent'this, and it's
this claim off Of 1. the company the
supreme court is believed to have
upheld, although the attorn eys
will not be certain of that until a
copy Of the opinion reaches them.
It may be, however, that the rights
of the canal company are limited
by the decision to the north side
of the river. = ..t,.
Most of the paper mill COM
panies on the river are at present
renting the right to use the water
from the canal company, pending
the decision Of the case. This
decision, tits believed, will settle
the many vexed questions regard.
ing the rights Of riparian owners
and the canal company, and end
the protracted litigation.
