According 10 Game Warden Osborne
there is great destruction ot deer by
wolves in the upper peninsula. The
snow is heavily crusted and the wolves
do not break through, while the con-
trary is the case with the deer, and il
j. feared large numbers have been des-
tloyed The extreme cold weather has
been extremely hard ON quail partridge
and ducks and ducks which have been
accustomed TO winter in Michigan died
by hundreds and were even driven to
the streets of towns in search of food.
They perish in large numbers. The
intense cold caused waters that are
ordinarily open and furnish feeding
and resorting place for ducks, 10 be
covered with ice. Such waters as were
not frozen were visited by immense
number of ducks, attracting hunters
and tempting to violations of the law
for which several arrests have been
made, and more are likely to follow.
The warden urges war on wolves and
stringent protection of the game.

FIRE FROM GuNBoAr,

AT 1870 a. m. the column came in
contact with the enemy and a gun
boat steamed to the firing lire and
cleared the Jungle on both sides, while
the battery took up a position on a
bluff at the right. The first shot from
the American field pieces, at 1,200
yards range, dislodged gun of the
enemy at Pasig. After the town had
been shelled, the goth regiment lined
up on the bluff, and the 22d took up a
position on the left of the place, with
the cavalry in the center, whereupon
the enemy retreated to the town.
The gunboat then moved into bend
opposite, and hot fire on the rebel
position was maintained along the
whole American line until 2:20 p. NJ,
when preparations were made for the
attack. At 3 p. m. our gunboat start
ed IN pursuit of the enemy's armed tug,
chasing her TO the lake.
At $3.50 p. m. large body of the
enemy was discovered working around
our right flank and the 20th regiment
was moved to commanding ridge.
The rebels were met opposite Pateros,
but bolted. Thirty of the rebels were
killed, IS were taken prisoners and
the Americans lost six men wounded.
The whole American line bivouacked

A case of great importance to water
companies was heard before Judge
Archibald in equity court yesterday. 1t
will determine the right of county com
missioners and municipal authorities TO
tax land acquired by water companies
for the protection of its water sheds.
The case now pending is the Spring
Brook Water Supply company, lessee Of
the Spring Brook Water company,
against NJ. j. Kelly. treasurer, of Lack
awanna county and s. w. Roberts.
John Demuth and Giles Roberts, county
commissioners.
The bill in equity was filed for the
purpose of having the court restrain
the defendants from selling certain
lands of the plaintiff in default of the
payment of certain taxes. The com
pany alleges that the land is necessary
for to carry on the business for which
# was Incorporated and is part Of its
capital stock on which it pays tax to
the state.
The Spring Brook Water Supply
company was incorporated March 2,
1896 and on March 81 of the same year
leased the plant of the Spring Brook
Water company for a term OF fifty
years. 1t owned a large tract Of land
which was necessary for carrying on
the business of the company and this
land forms a part of the capital stock
of the company. The commissioners Of
I.ackawanna county and township au-
thorities of Spring Brook caused the
land to be assessed and a tax levied for
the years 1895 and 1896. This it is con-
tended they mad no right to do.
In default Of the payment of these
taxes the county treasurer advertised
to sell the land on June 13, 1925, and an
appeal was made to the equity side Of
the court to prevent the injury to the
company that would be wrought by
this sale.
In their answer to this bill the de-
PENDANTS said that only a small portion
of the 5000 acres of land of the COM
pany Is used for it's public works and
necessary for the purposes of its in
corporation. Upon these lands taxes
have been assessed for county town
ship, poor and school purposes, and
should the court deny to the local tax
ing authority the right to assess and
levy taxes upon this great body Of
land it would very seriously cripple
the finances of the said township. Suf-
ficient money could not be raised by
taxation for the maintenance of the
school and the proper maintenance of
