TO PROTECT THE NESTS.
Warden Scott Calls Attention to Law
Regarding Birds and Nests.

State Game Warden w f. Scott
mas stated that numerous persons,
members of picnic parties, boys, girls,
men and women, have been seen in
the neighborhood of the Bnoadwater,
near Helena, and in various other
aces, destroying birds nests, secur-
'1g the eggs, or securing both and
feeping them as mere curiosities,
This is strictly against the law and
Mr.. Scott has announced that the
matter will be looked into and in the
future any person detected in violat-
ing the statute will be prosecuted
without fear or favor
Il understand that lady was seen
coming from up the valley yesterday
with the branch of a tree on which
was birds nest, said Mr. Scott.
1T has come to my ears that numer-
Gus other acts of this nature have
been perpetrated in the vicinity If
Helena during the past week. Such
things will not be tolerated for an
instant. We have a section of the
game law prohibiting it, and that sec
tion will be enforced to the .etter."
The section referred to by the
game warden is: ANY person who
Shall wilfully destroy the nests OF
carry away the eggs from the nests
of any of the birds or wild fowl men
toned in this act shall be guilty ol
misdemeanor. and upon conviction
thereof shall be fined in any sum

ASKED TO LEAVE.
The Mormon Missionary ard His At
tendants Served With Orders.

Berlin, June 6.-Hugh ]. Cannon,
superintendent of the Mormon mis-
sions in Germany, his wife, his sec
retary and his assistant secretary
were ordered by the police today to
leave Prussian territory within three
weeks. Similar orders are about to
be seved by local authorities on Sc
other missionaries in Prussia, under
decision of the government to ex
pei them all
1t is quite unusual to serve the
wives of Mormon missionaries with
separate notice. Mrs. Cannon has
only been here a month. No eXplana-
ton was given for the action taken,
except that the presence of the Nor
mons was undesirable to the police.
Mr.. Cannon will move his headquar-
ters to Zurich, Switzerland. He has
engaged a house there near the one
which Calvin took when he fed from
France. From Zurich, the missiona-
ries will occasionally visit Mormon
communities in Prussia, who have
l 200 members, in groups of from Is
to 90 each. The German pastors will
continue their services. No protest
has been made against the expulsion
of the Mormons.
Elder Francis NJ. Lyman of Salt
Lake City, now in London, European
superintendent of the Mormon mis-
sion, is advised of the action of the
authorities here and is waiting to
see if Washington will take up the
cases of two or three Mormons, who
were lily treated by the constabulary.
Through these cases it is hoped the
Prussian government may be led to
reverse the expulsion decree. and
that several German states. notably
Saxony, Hesse and Wurtemberg. may
also reconsider their decree expell.

either drowned in an attempt to
swim the riv I or did not go across
the river with the others.
Some Of the posse were only Is

and as therc are about 80 or 60 men
on all sides of the brush it does not
seem possible that they can escape.
It is not probable that Hardee will
be captured alive, as he is thought to
be the one who had the Winchester
and as he was to be hanged on the
26 of this month. he would likely
fight until killed.

TWO LAND ACTS.
Desert and Timber and Stone Laws
Deemed Obnoxious by Secretary
Hitchcock.

Senator Eanshrough. chairman Of
the public lands committee, laid before
the senate a letter from Secretary
Hitchcock strongly recommending the
repeal OF the timber and stone act and
the desert land law, and mildly sug
costing the adv!sabillty of repeating
the Communication clause of the home
stead act, says a dispatch from Wash
ington, dated February 2. Under the
two former laws the secretary says,
private individuals and corporations
are enabled, in a perfectly lawful man
ner, to acquire large tracts of the pub
lie domain. contrary TO the policy of
congress when those laws were framed

Secretary Hitchcock. the most valuable

lie shows that about 80 per cent of the
entries under the desert land act in ten
years has been cancelled because of
fraud.
This law hears on its face, says he,
Its own condemnation in the facility
it affords for acquisition by individ-

vast bodies of the public domain and
is another menace to the ayowed policy
of the government OF preserving the
remaining public lands for homes and

The Communication clause of the
homestead act, =" he says. does not pre-.
sent the same serious objections as the
other two laws, as il requires fourteen
months residence on the land yet it
tends to encourage speculation in pub.

the bill for the repeal of these three
laws. said quite recently that be had
