Game.

Pyle's Cycle Academy was packed to
the doors last night to see the tie game
between Wilmington and Burlington
played off but the contest ended in an
other tie. the score being "a to "a, and
another game will be the result.
The score was close from start to
finish, and before the first half was
over had been tied twice. 1t appeared
that Burlington got a little the better
of decisions from Referee Schoenhut,
who, in one instance. allowed a field
goal thrown by j. Plant, TO be count
ed. although the ball left the mans
Ihands just as the whistle blew With
Wilmington in the lead by one point,
the latter part Of the second half was
played for time. Both teams kept the
ball in the corner as much as possible
but just before the gong rang Hough
threw a field goal, and the game ended
in another tie. The lineup follows:

NOT A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.
Ju lEc Holds That Men Cannot be Jailed
For Grazing Sheep on Reservation.

Judge Marshall Of the United States dis
trict court at Salt Lake sustained the de-
murrer of the defendant in the case of the
United States VS.. Frank Martinus, who was
charged with running a band of 2 900 sheep
on the Fish Lake forest reserves, in violation
of the rules formulated for the protection
of forest reserves by the secretary of the
interior. Judge Marshall stated that con-
gress had exceeded its Legislative power in
empowering the secretary of the interior
to make rules the violation OF which would
be a criminal act, and held that the law
was unconstitutional. The decision is re-
garded as of the greatest importance to
Utah sheepmen, and number of pending
similar cases will be thrown out of court.
The effect of Judge Marshall's decision
will be to throw open to the sheep and cat
tie interests more than a million acres of
the choicest grazing lands in the state,
which for ,Ae past few years have been
carefully protected by the government.
