TilnhcrCases.

Many of our readers are no doubt in-
terested in the result of a number of
prosecutions made by the government
az, inst sawmill men and others for
cutting timber on government land.
Hon. E. w. Martin represented num-
Der of defendants in such cases before
tho United States court recently and
among other things the court held that
the actual trespasser on the public
land ONLY can be conuicted. The pur-
chaser of the manufactured product is
in no sense a wrong -doer and cannot be
prosecuted, as was formerly thought to
be the case. A corporation, not being
capable of punishment, cannot be pros
ecuted for cutting government timber
None of the decisions are to be CON
strued as affecting the civil liability OF
the parties to the act. The cases in
which Mr.. Martin appeared for the de-
fense we're disposed of as follows:
Indictment against Simonson Bros
Of Alliance, for purchasing and trans.
porting lumber from Custer to Alliance
WAS dismissed.
The two cases against the M. j. Bal
Icy company of Custer for cutting tim
Der, also dismissed.
In one case against Odo Reder oi
Custer for cutting timber on place,
claim, verdict of not guilty.
In another case against Odo Redel
for cutting timber to export, the jury
returned verdict of guilty. Mr.. Mar
tin made motion for new trial
which has not been decided.
In action against G. E. Boyden OF
Custer for cutting timber on place,
claim, he was found guilty. A motion
for a new trial is still pending.
The prosecution of Gulik Guliksor
of Sturgis for cutting timber on mill
tary reservation was ended by the dis
charge of the defendant.
The case against j. T.. Blaine of Hill
City for cutting timber on placer CLAIM
will be tried at the next term in Dead
wood.

THE FOREST RESERVE
Commissioner Hermann Gives Out Some
Important Instructions ltegari-
ing Timber Cutting.

ing Timber Cutting.
A Washington special says: The pro-
clamation changing the boundaries of
the Black Hills forest reserve will not
be put in shape for submission to the
president for some time. Land Com
missioner Hermann said today that
his office had determined upon the
boundaries to be established under the
proclamation but had thought it advis-
able to hear all objections that might
be made to them before a proclamation
is issued. With view to allowing
everyone interested opportunity to
state his objections, copies of the maps
of .the proposed reserve lands have
been submitted to Senators Kyle and
Pettigrew. 1t is expected that they
will submit these maps to the inspec-
tion of parties interested and will file
objections later. Until they are re-
ceived no action will be taken by the
land office changing the boundaries of
the reserve.
Commissioner Hermann has COM
pleted his instructions to those in
charge of forest reserves. The law re-
lating to the creation of forest reserves
provides that timber may be cut from
lands embraced therein for domestic
manufacturing and mining purposes.
It is provided in the instructions issued
that homesteaders and others who re-
quire timber for fires, houses and 9TH
er buildings on their claims may re.
move such to the value of 800 per an
mum. When timber is to be cut for
mining or manufacturing purposes, it
is to be appraised and paid for ut its
value as reported to the land
Office. The forestry force is re-.
quired to see that no permanent injury
is done to the forest, and that none
but timber selected by them is cut
