will agree that he has taken the best

HIDES FOR MOUNTING
Buenther, Bemidji Taxidermist,
Wins His Case Against the
State Game Commission.
Fullerton and His Deputies Had No
Warrant in Law for Their
Procedure.
Special to The Journal,

Special to The Journal,
Bemidji, Mimi, Nov. 23.-Judge w.
S. McClenahan of the district court
in handing down his decision In the
case of Henry Buenther, the Bemidji
taxidermist against the game and fish
commissioner, Sam Fullerton, j. p.
Whitney and j. P. Saunders. orders
that the plaintiff have judgment
against the defendants for his costs
and disbursements.
1t is further ordered that the de-
PENDANTS be forever restrained from
selling any of the heads or hides In
the possession Of the plaintiff for the
purpose of being mounted or tanned
or made into articles of ornament, and
from in any manner interfering with
the plaintiff in the conduct or prose-
cution of his business as taxidermist
and selling or interfering with any
Of the game heads in the possession
of plaintiff or harrassing and annoy
ing him in the conduct of his business.
1t is further stated in the decision
that the case of Linden VS.. McCor-
mick controls this case in so far as the
plaintiffs title to the heads, hides,
etc, involved therein is concerned,
that he acquired them in the open
season and in good faith is established
and there is nothing in the record 10
show that the plaintiff was ever DIS
posed to violate or evade the law IN
any particular or to justify the de-
PENDANTS in believing or suspecung
that he was so disposed. in fact, an
inference to the contrary is irresistible.
AS conclusions Of law the court
finds that the threatening attitude OF
the defendants toward the pla1ntiH
and his business as a taxidermist were
unlawful and wrongful; that In all
mentioned acts against the plaintiff,
such as seizing game heads and hides
in his possession, and forcing him to
pay a stated sum on each of them, the
defendants were actuated by a desire
to prevent the plaintiff from having In
his possession for the purpose of
mounting game heads and hides and
preventing him from shipping heads
or hides to their owners, and that
the demand made by the game COM
missions agent upon Buenther to pay
found in his control in December,
1902, and if not paid to seize and car
ry away such heads, was unreasonabl bic.
The action started over the seizlng
by an agent of the commission Of
mounted heads shipped by Buenther,
who commended that the game had
been lawfully killed and the heads
lawfully shipped. He appealed to the
attorney general who Immediately or
dered the heads released. It is alleged
that Agent Fullerton thereupon did all
he could to annoy the texidermist
On Dec. /, 1902, Fullerton directed
an agent to visit Buenther's place Of
business and demanded that Buenther
pay him 81 for each moose and deer
| head then found in his possession.
Buenther refused and subsequently
brought an action against the COM
mission and Fullerton.

FALSEH00DS...A OF EN-
Revenue Collector San1nis Thus
Characterizes the Charges Of
His Old Deputy.

(For earlier story see page Thirteen
of this issue.)
Special to The Journal
Sioux City, Iowa, Nov. 23.-J. U.
Sammis of lie Mars, internal revenue
collector, enters an unqualified denial
Of the charges preferred against him
by Milton Howe of Dubuque, a former
deputy. Howe accused Sannis of re-
quiring him to pay $500 of his salary
to e. P. Sammiss, another deputy, and
also with equalizing the salaries of
other deputies contrary to law.
Mr.. Sammls says: THE so-called
charges Of Mr.. Howe are a tissue Of
fa1sehoods, Misrepresentation and de-
ceit. I shall make a complete answer
in formal way. Mr.. Howe was re-
lieved of his duties because I was dis
satisfied with his work and because
thought I could find some one who
could better perform the duties Of his
position. In this I was was not dis
appointed. He evidently seeks re-
venge and to accomplish it Is willing
to condemn himself.
"He remained as my deputy thirteen
months. On the day the office was
turned over to me I notified him that
it was my intention to make my
brother, E.. P. Sammis, chief deputy,
and therefore finally dispensed with
Mr.. Howe's services. gave him
sixty days notice that he might find
other work.
The statutory penalty for the Of
Tense Of which Mr.. Sammis Is accused
Is a fine equal to double the amount
withheld and two years imprison-
ment.

ST. PAUL MEN WIN RELAY
Good Time Is Made in Race Between
Twin City Y. M. G. "A.
Teams.

The relay race between teams rep
resenting the Minneapolis and st. Paul
Y. M. G. AS Saturday was won by the
st. Paul men. The race was from the
association building here to the st.
Paul building, and the runners car
sried a letter from Mayor j.. G. Haynes
to Mayor Smith of st. Paul. Each man
ran a distance of about two miles.
The race was close, and at no time
until the finish was the result certain.
Williams of Minneapolis, on the first
relay, gained two blocks on Taylor of
st. Paul, and things looked dark for
the sanity city team. On the next
relay, however, Barton of st. Paul
made UP nearly all of this distance,
and finished only eight yards behind
Dickinson of Minneapolis. Ellison of
Minneapolis, however, again made up
the distance, and at the end Of the
third relay, he was two blocks ahead
Of Hansen of st. Paul.
On the fourth relay Crooks of St.
Paul, with a magnificent squirt, really
won the day for his team He not
only made up his handicap of two
blocks, but finished three blocks ahead
of Jones of Minneapolis. ReiH of st.
Paul and Hillman of Minneapolis
maintained the same relative positions
on the third relay. Gaskel, the star
high school runner, finished for st.
Paul, while Hicks had the last relay
for Minneapolis. Hicks gained about
"a block, but was still two. blocks be-
hind Gaskel at the finish. The times
were, respectively, | hour minutes
and hour minutes.

Hyomei the Latest Scientific Discovery
for the Cure of Catarrh.

The discovery of Hyomei has
wrought q wonderful change In the
treatment of catarrh.
Prior to three years ago the medl-
cines ordinarily employed in the cure
of this disease were nauseating drugs
and worthless tonics. In some in
stances they benefited, but the inn
provement was not lasting.
With Hyomei you take into the air
passages of the throat and head a
balsamic air that goes to the minutest
cells, effectually killing all germs and
microbes of catarrh. 1t enters the
blood with the oxygen, killing the
germs in the blood, and restores health
to the whole system Many astonish-
ing testimonials have been received
from those who have been cured by
Hyomei
a complete outfit costs but $1.00,
and includes an, inhaler, dropper and
sufficient Hyomei for several weeks
treatment.
Perhaps the strongest evidence that
can be given to doubters, is the fact
that Voegeli Bros, corner Hennepin
and Washington avenues, have SO
much faith in Hyomei that they sell
every package under a positive guar
antee to refund the money if it does
not cure.
Now is the time to begin the use of
Hyomei.

ARE PlIz' HANDS GOOD
If They Are, Experts Say He Will
Whip Gardner With
Ease.
New York Sun speoia1 Service.

New York Sun Special Service.
Chicago, Nov. 23.-Everything in
the Gardner Fitzsimmons fight will
depend upon the condition of the vet
GRAMS knuckles. If Fitzsimmons can
go along for a few rounds without
smashing his hands all to pieces as he
did in the Jeffries fight he has a
great chance to win. If he is forced
to go bit slow in the early stages be-
cause of his soft hands, Gardner will
have a great chance to gain a victory.
Perhaps Fitzsimmons will be for
tunate enough to get in one Of those
awful jabs of his early in the battle.
If he does it will not matter much
what his condition is. If he can get
a. fair shot at a vulnerable point Of the
younger mans fighting front the bat
tie will end in q big hurry. Fitzsim-
mons can whip anybody-bar one-he
can hit, and so far he has been able
to hit every man he ever fought.
Others Of lesser speed and skill than
F'itzsimmons have been able to- hit
Gardner. On this basis Of argument
therefore the New Highlander has but
a. slight chance Of victory.
1t is evident from all that has been
said that Gardner is going to take no
chance of allowing Fitzsimmons to
get at close range in the early part Of
the fray. He will jog along as care
fully as he can and attempt to make
a long fight Of it, believing thoroly
that F'itzsimmons Is not capable of
going long journey. The veterans
fights have all ended before the four
teenth round was UP. He went that
distance successfully with Jim Corbett
and brought the championship home
with him, but that was number of
years ago.
Gardner has knack Of getting his
head in low when the milling gets a
bit warm and in this way he may
cause the ancient one to bung up his
hands. He also will make excellent
use Of his bony elbows in blocking
Fits punches and it looks like an
even bet that some of the bones in
those freckled fists will ache sorely
before many rounds have been passed
over.

COULDN'T FOOL HIM
Doctor Was Firm and Was Right,

Many doctors forbid their patients
to drink coffee but the patients sti1l
drink it on the sly and thus spoil all
the doctors efforts and keep them
selves sick. Sometimes the doctor
makes sure that the patient Is not
drinking coffee and there was a case
Of that kind in st. Paul where a
business man said:
After very severe illness last
winter which almost caused my death
the doctor said Postum Food Coffee
was the only thing that could drink
and he just made me quit coffee and.
drink Postum. My illness was caused
by indigestion from the use Of tea
and coffee.
s.The state of my stomach was so
bad that it became terribly inf1amed
and finally resulted in q rupture. I
had not drank Postum very long be-
fore my lost blood was restored and
my stomach was well and strong ana
] have now been using Postum for
almost a year. When got up from
bed after my illness I weighed 98
pounds and now my weight is 40.
There Is no doubt that Postum
was the reason for this wonderful
Improvement and I shall never go
back to tea or coffee but shall always
stick to the food drink that brought
me back to health and strengthss'

in every direction and a number of
arrests were made. Referee Brainard
was struck twice in the face and pain
fully hurt, while members and follow
ers Of both teams were cut by blows
from clubs, bricks, canes and any
other weapons that were handy. The
police tried to stop the. riot, but were
carried off with the crowd. Along the
streets the fights continued, and it was
late last night before anything like
order was permanently restored.
