MUST VISIT MORE CITIES
Circuit Court Must Travel About in This
District

DlHtritt
WASHINGTON: The house judiciary
committee has reported favorably bill
providing that the circUit court Of ap-
peals Of the Eighth judicial circuit of
the United States shall hold at least one
term annually in Denver, Cheyenne and
81 Paul
The committee sets forth that this
circuit, the districts of Minnesota,
Northern Iowa Western Arkansas,
Eastern Arkansas, Western Missouri,
Nebraska, Colorado, Kansas, North
Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming and
Utah. Indian Territory, Northern In
dian Territory central; Indian Terri
tory, routhern, and territories of New
Me xico and Oklahoma, is the largest ir
area of any of the circuits, and the dis
tance 10 be travelled by litigants and
counsel having business in its court Of
appeals in going to and returning from
the places where it is now held are so
great as to impose upon them great in
conveniences and expense.
St Louis is the only place in which
the statute provides that terms OF said
court shall be held. A due regarl to
the conveniences and interests of the
people of the whole circuit, says the
committee, seems TO require that it
should be provided that terms of said
court shall also be held at other and
central localities. Cheyenne and Den
yer are situated near tho geographical
center and the city of ST. Paul is in the
northeastern part of the circuit and the
United States is >'ovided suitable nc
commodations for holding terms of said
court i'm each of said cities.

Bill to Increase Fees of Indian Terri
tory Officials
WASHINGTON: The house committee
ON Judiciary has maGe IA favorable re-
port upon the bill which has hcen pass
ed by the senate fixing the fees for
.pnited States marshals in the Indian
Territory 1t is designed to correct
one of the causes of much complaint in
the territory in the administration of
justice. The Arkansas laws regulating
the fees of peace officers are made apph-
cable in the Indian Territory, but are
wholly inadequate, according to the
testimony taken before Il commissioner,
and is allowed bat 10 cents for the ser
vice. Witnesses are allowed but 80
cents II day for attendance upon. trials,
although many Of them are taken 100
miles from their homes. As a result Of
this condition it is almost impossib to
secure conviction in the Indian Terri
tory courts. The bill provides that the
fee provisions Of the federal statutes be
extended to include the Indian Terri
tory. The bin will probably be passed
without objection.

BIG CATCH OF TROUT.
Spearing Fish and Killing Deer at
Ashley Lake.


George Sherburn and B. j. Minnich
were up at Ashley Lake two days last
week and made a phenomenal catch
of fish. The two men landed 800
speckled beauties in that time, and
probably caught more fish than the
combined capture of the town tour
lists this summer, both being experts.
The day before they reached the
lake, mill man caught two trout
near the dam, weighing 10 pounds
each. Mr. Sherburn says that, al
though the trout are plentiful in the
lake and creek this year, there will
soon be scarcity if the promiscuous
killing by spear and torchlight con.
tinues unchecked. The irresponsible
mill hands and woodsmen indulge in
the unlawful sport of night spearins
without regard to the consequences
and are creating havoc among the
finny denizens, dozens of which swim
away wounded to die after each on
slaught. The fish in this stream and
lake should be vigorously protecte
Ou dcCOuuJ Ol us n9drn6SS TO tnt
city, and attractiveness as a resort
Besides the unlawful spearing Of
fish, it is no secret that the mil
hands in that section are fed fresh
venison instead of beef, deer beins
plenty and easily killed on the trails
which they use going to and return
ing from the lake. 1t is cheaper fol-
the boarding boss to serve the meI
deer meat than beef or sow-belly
but it wouldn't be if our irrepressiblt

Mr.. Sherburn says he ran across sew

while he was ON his fishing trip an
that the mill men all kicked abou
