There have already been number
Of complaints 5lat the game law is be-

mer has been very propitiouS to the
raising of partridges and the fields
are full of young birds which in some
localities are meeting with wholesale
destruction at the hands Of pot hunt:

well for the sportsmen who love sport
for it's own sake to become familiar

prosecute pot hunters and stop the
determination Of tiedglings.

J. E. Stark shot and fatally
wounded John F. angel Thursday
afternoon in the of!ce of the Southern
Express company in Jacksonville, Fla,
while the latter was protecting the
life Of bis sister, the wife OF the man
who fired the shot. Stark had been
in Jacksonville several days and this
morning wired for his wife to join
him. She came at about noon and at
? O'Clock they met in the office OF the
express company. where her brother
was employed. The wife suspected
that her husband meant to do her
bodily harm when he endeavored to
get to his hotel. She desired to re-
main near her brother and declined to
go.
Il have brought you here to kill
you,' Stark said. Quick as flash his
wife seized him as he was endeavor-
ing to draw his pistol. She pinioned
bis arms and her cries brought her
brother. The pistol was taken from
Stark before it was drawn. Words be-
tween the two men followed and blows
were exchanged. Stark went to
pawn shop, where he procured another
pistol and returned. He entered. the

small steel holes Of the cage he fired,

and started to leave when a brother OF
Angel appeared and seized him. The
brother made an effort to kill Stark
with knife but others interfered and
the police placed Stark under arrest.
Angel is at St. Luke'S hospital. NO
hopes are entertained for his recovery,
but he will live until morning. The
defense that Stark:s lawyer will make
is that be was insane, a theory which
is generally accepted by those who
know him, and who have been with
him during the past few days.

There is but one method OF fixing
responsibility known to me as legal
lied one, and that is for sufferers to
avail themselves Of their right in dam
age. 1t would be, indeed, a poor pro-
lection to our people if the 0. X. OF
this commission should exempt any
railroad from the consequences OF its
acts of negligence.
FEELING AMONG YORK FEOPLE.
But to return to the matter directly
under discussion, ! must report to you
the feeling of the people in York

cause than that Of detective constru;-

wounded at Rock Hill and found the
patients wounded in this wreck in the

premature death, wives at the sides OF
stricken husbands and one and all with
the choking conviction that their
loved ones were the victims Of inhdel-
ity on the part OF transportation
comp pany who had promised safe con-
duct.
THREE RECOMMENDATIONS.
Of course accidents will happen
everywhere, and SO serious often as to
take the life Of some ones loved ones
and the consequences will pass from
the memory Of all save "a loving
few" The legislature has not seen
fit to consider this office with such
favor as to provide US with means to
protect the public in the smallest
measure beyond our own services.
But we owe it to the public to do
what we can to guarantee protec-
tion. Therefore, recommend, first,
that we employ an expert bridge
engineer to inspect carefully the
tressles and track of the South
Carolina and Georgia Extension
Railroad company; second, that we
summon to this office at the earll-
est possible date the officials Of the
Southern railway directly charged
with this portion OF the road, for the
purpose of making inquiry Of them
into the causes Of this wreck; third,
that we make inquiry generally into
the operation of the Southern railway
because of the complaint against
them, and because the tendency Of
their operation appears to minimize
local interest," in the interest Of what
is commonly known as through inter
ests.

While there is no Jaw looking to

in the statute which reads: Sec.
1890 The commission Shall have the
general supervision Of all railroads
and railways in this State operated

their condition and the manner in
which they are operated, with refer

OF this chapter shall apply to all rail

porations. trustees, receivers or others
owning or operating the same. or
course, this section is very general,
necessarily. There are 1900 miles OF
railroad in the State. Trestle inspec-

News Notes.

About tenldays ago The UNION re-
marked in its local columns that
there was some important rail Dad
news on the tapis which it was not
then at liberty to give out, and
further, that there was considerable
doing oa Che quiet in the railway
world and Rapid City would be
strictly init when the plans were
i known.
It will be remembered that late
last fall gentleman by the name
Of ]. M. Medbury spent some time
in this city, representing a syndi-
cate, and conducted negotiations
for the grade and old right-of way
of;the Rapid City, Missouri River
and ST. Paul railway project. These
negotiations were successful, ii
seems, but during the past month
or two the deal was kept quiet an6
I nothing was given out. However
twas moving ahead just the same
and here in Rapid City on Wednes
day Of last week the contract wa
signed for the construction a rail

way between this city and Piers,
under the provisions of which active
work is to be commenced within
sixty days from the signing Of the
contract, and the line is to be com.
pleted and in operation within two
years.
On Monday the bonds back of this
contract were also sigred and sent
east, so the east road proposition
seems to be assuming definite shape
and may yet be the one main factor
in enabling Pierre to hold the seat
Of government.
While The UNION is also in
possession of some details of the
plans to finish the old Dakota -Paci-
fic line west from this city to M ystic,
it is not IN position to give them
out. 1t will say at this time, how
ever, that everything looks like the
old DUSTY & Windy line would
blossom out into full-fedged rail
road the coming summer. Negotia.
tions have been on for some time
with this end in view and they bid
fair to terminate successfully, with
ample capital back of the project.
It begins to look Ike Rapid City
would have three railroads withir
the next twenty-four months.
