Judge Voorhees,. sitting Tor Judge
Nnrihcui; in the third iudicial district. at
Las Animas. Tuesday last. rendered de.
cisiuu in an important case heard by him
some time aEp. in regard to the validity
Of certain water rights in the Fort Lyon
canal. The action was brought by the
directors OF this canal company to cancel
water rights representing some i5O cubic
feet of water issued by the La Juuta and
Lamar Canal companies. former ouners
OF the Fort Lyon canal, in excess Of the
I6i cubic feet decreed capacity. The
judge held that the testimony showed
that the carrying capacity OF the ditch
at the time the decree was rendered was
the same as its decreed capacity, and tha,
all water rights issued by the old com.
pany in excess OF this amount were void
and should be held for naueht. The
contention OF the attorneys for 7. G.
Henry, who controlled the canal a, the
time these excess rights were issued. was
that the estimated capacity OF the ditch
had not been reached. but the decision of
the court was not in his favor.

tunate condition But there is no pres
ent escape from the law as it reads. The
plaintiff is entitled to judgment in his
favor"
Attorney Donnelly said yesterday to a
reporter for the G i o b that he was
glad that Judge Orr had decided the case
as he had, as 1t was now possible to se-
cure an opinion from the supreme court
that would settle the question whether
or not the state of Minnesota had
game law or not 1t was quite evident
that there had been erasures made in thu
text Of the bill which made 1t practically
meaningless. AS the law now stood 1t
was simply prohibitory against the ship
ping of deer by any private conveyance
1t might be granted that the new law was
meaningless, still it was the practice Of
Judges to place some construction on an
obscure passage, and where 1t was SO
palpably evident that an important omis-
sion had been made in the law, It would
seem to be the duty of judge to con-
strue it in a reasonable manner. AS It
was, the whole case was left in the air,
and commission men were swapping their
fingers at the law.

MARKET IN THE ORIENT.

lanes J. Hill, before the assembled
farmers at st. Paul, spoke eloquentiy on
tha advantages of an enlarged market

use wheat instead. Mr.. Hill, in passing,
COMMUNICATED the agriculturists on the
foot that the bulk of our soldiers VINO
camo in response to our demand to pro-
tect the old flag were patriots from the
form Mr. Hill referred to the fact that
n ner cent of our products went to one
country and as ked what would be the con-
SEQUENCES if we could not carry our prod
nets IN Great Britain. Mr.. Hill protested
against the bounty being paid on fast
going vessels Of certain tonnage. He con-
tended that this did not help the farmer
at an It was simply giving him stone
when he asked for bread. He said find
ing market in the Orient for our wheat
would take the Pacific coast wheat out of
the market. so 1t would not depress
prices. as It would be moved first. This

DONNELLY WILL APPEAL.
State Game and Fish Commission
VIII Carry Up the Cobb Case.

Stanislaus J. Donnelly, attorney for the
state fish and game commission, will take
the case of alleged illegal shipment OIL
venfson. recently decided by Judge Orr
adversely to the commission, to the SUI
preme court Here he expects reversal.
Sitting in the civil branch of the munic-
ipal court, Judge Orr, although not at III
in sympathy with his own ruling, DECIDED
that yenison could be shipped freely
throughout the state during the open sea-
son. The case before him was one IN
which R. E. Cobb, a commission mer-
chant on Third street, won repleVhh
suit to recover five saddles OF Venlsoli
which had been seized by an agent OF the
fish and game commission. Judge orr IN
his memorandum said that he coulo not
infer that the game was killed lliegany
for the reason that the law does not lnLer
an unlawful act. Continuing ne salo'
a"rba statute provides that the possess
sion of venison, the killing Of which Is
prohibited, shall be priIna fac1e evidence
that II was the property OIL the State
when killed The same inference, II would
seem to me, should be drawn from the
facts as they herein appear. The statute
does not provide that the plalntlI must
show that the deer was lawfully Killed.
1t seems to me that the pialntiI nau
lawful possession Of the venison, and the
principal question is as to his right to
ship the venison from one point 10 an
other in the state.
Section IA, chapter 242, of the Laws OF
1897. provided ut shall be uniawful 1or
any person to ship or cause to De con-
yeyed by common carrier. or convey or
cause to be conveyed by any private con-
yeyance, at any time, any deer to any
person, except the same (deer) is in the
control Of and accompanied by some per-
son in charge thereof other than an en-
ploye of a common carrier"
But the new law of 1899 (chapter I'll,
section 14) omits the words "by common
carrier, convey or cause to be conveyed,
thus prohibiting solely the shipping OF
deer by any private conveyance, save
when the deer is in charge Of some per
son not an employee Of a common carrier"
That Is, deer could not legally be
transported in buggy by an agent or
employe of railroad company But the
deer can, so far as the law determines,
be legally shipped on any railroad train.
In view Of this Judge Orr said:
"This Is a manifest mistake, and very
evident omission of some kind, but 1t Is
not for the court to read into the statute
something that should or might have
been included within it's terms. The pro-
vision Gas it now stands) Is almost
| meaningless. and 1t would be difficult to

GEN, OTIS REPORT COMPUTES BAR
RETT's CHARGE AGAINST sENA-
TOR HOAR.

The reply of Senator Hoar to the charge
Siam, Mr.. Barrett, If the senator makes
such a reply, cannot fail to be ex-
tremely disconcerting, not only for the
gentleman from Siam, but also for Presi-
dent Mckinley. 1t may be accepted as a
fact that the violent speech of Mr.. Bar
rett, in which he attempted to place upon
the shoulders of the veteran senator from
Massachusetts all the blame for the out
break of hostilities in the Philippine ISL
the president and his cabinet. Senator
Hoar has all the facts to hand necessary
to absolutely refute Mr. Barretts allega-
lions. and he has also the means Of plac-
ing the blame for the outbreak Of hosttli-
ties between the United States troops and
Aguinaldo's forces where is it shown by
official reports and documents of the war
| department to properly belong, and that
is upon the shoulders of President Nc
| Kinley.
The report made by Gen. Otis Of opera
lions in the Philippine islands before and
after hostilities with the natives COM
menced completely refutes in the most
unmistakable and positive manner the al
legations made by Mr.. Barrett. Gen. Otis
| shows that the direct, immediate and I'M
mistakable cause of hostilities was a
proclamation sent to him by cable by
President Mckinley, containing certain
indscreet assertions as to the sovereignty
| Of the United States in the islands. Gen.
| Otis furnished a copy of this proclama-
| ton to Gen. Miller, then conducting OPP
| erations at Iloilo, and Gen. Miller, who,
according to Gen. Otis, was continually in
a most belligerent mood, forthwith circu-
| lated the proclamation, among the ma
tives, who up to that time. were under
| the delusion that they were to be allowed
self-goyernment The effect was instan-
| taneous. This proclamation, so objection
able from the point of view of the ma
| tives, who regarded 1t as unmistakable
evidence of a breach of faith by the
United States government. was telegraph
ed by them back to Manila, and was
there extensively circulated among the
natives, civil and military.
Gen. Otis says in his report that he
discovered the dangerous character OF
President McKinIey's proclamation short

profits is the permanent object of fnan-
