FATAL JUMP FROM ELEVATED.
FIGHT WITH TICKET CHOPPER
ENDS IN BAILEY'S DEATH.

King, the Ticket Man. Says Bailey Threw
Him on the Tracks and Jumped Over
the stair Railing when He Was Pur-
sued-King Arrested After . Row.
A man believed to be F. #. Bailey, a
switchman on the New York, New Haven
and Hartford Railroad, got into row
with Joseph King, the ticket chopper at
the uptown station of the Third avenue
elevated road at Fourteenth street, yester-
day afternoon.
He threw King from the platform to
the tracks, and in getting away over the
railing of the stairs leading to the street
he received injuries that caused his
death.
The police thought Bailey might have
been thrown into the street, 80 they ar
rested King.
King, who is 20 years old and lives at
SIT East Fifty sixth street, told the police
that Bailey reached the station platform
through the north exit gate and hurried
into the toilet room. A few minutes later
Bailey left the toilet room and walked tow
ard the upper end Of the platform. King
said he stopped him and asked him to get
a ticket
According to King. Bailey turned to
him and said, This is the only ticket you'll
GET" then he struck King blow which
sent him backward on the tracks. King
said that train was approaching but
that the engineer slowed up in time.
As he scrambled back on the platform
King said he saw Bailey try to get out Of
the south exit gate and then run into the
waiting room. Thinking to head him
of. King ran down the north stairway
and across the street to the south side.
As he reached the foot of the stairs Bailey
got to the head OF the stairs and, seeing
King below threw himself over the railing.
The Rev. John Alexander Gray, of 229
East Twelfth street, who was with his wife
on the station platform waiting for train,
gave a somewhat different version OF the
affair
4As remember il. he said, "there was
no train at the station when my attention
was first attracted to the men. heard
some talk about tickets, and, turning, saw
the gateman talking to man in gray
suit. Soon afterward l heard shout
and saw the gateman lying on his back
across the tracks close to the third rail
and the gateman opposite hurrying over.
The gateman got on the platform and ran
after the man in the gray suit. thought
the gateman had the other fellow by the
coattails. Both ran into the waiting room.
A moment later the gateman ran to the
platform and through the north exit gate
down the stairs. I followed and saw the
Cateman about half way down looking over
where some men were picking up the man
in the gray suit TIE gateman came up
then and in answer TO my questions said the
other man had thrown himself over the
railing"
The injured man was sent to Bellevue
Hosnital, where he died Of fractured
skull an hour after arrival.

GAME AND FISH LAWS.

The commission has spent consider
able time of late drafting game and
fish laws that should be satisfactory tn
the larger part of the people Of the
state. A bill that in all probability will
become law was introduced in the
senate Friday and has been referred to
the committee on game and fish laws.
1t makes some important changes in
the present code of game laws. One Of
the most important is in regard to
license. Heretofore nonresident hunt
ers OF big game from states having
similar laws were required to pay a
license of $25, while residents paid %
cents for the same privilege. The new
bill raakes it $25 for all nonresident
hunters of big game and $40 for non.
resident hunters of small game, while
residents must pay license of so cents
for any kind of hunting, and if they
hunt without license they are liable not
only II have their guns and dogs taken
away from them, but to be subjected
to penalties in the form of fines and
Imprisonment as well. The bill makes
it crime to buy game and fish, as
well rs to sell it, and none of the prin>
cipal game birds and fishes can be sold.

Wisconsin system of shipping deer il
adopted in the bill, and it is applied
llso to the shipping of birds. The hunt
ing Essences have coupons attached,
whichcan be used to ship a limited
amount of game. Nonresident hunters
are permitted to take home two deer
each, while under the present law they
can take none at all. There is also a
change in the limit of fish that non
residents can take out of the state. Now
they can take fifty fish, but under the
new bill they can take only fifty pounds
OF fish. The only change in the seas
ons is on quail. which is made fifteen
days later than it is now. The commits
sion had inserted in the bill a provision
shortening the trout season fifteen
days, ending it Aug. Is, instead of
Sept. ], but the senate committee,
which considered the bill before it was
introduced, changed it back to the old
dates, claiming that it cut out two
weeks of the best fishing weather.

REGARDING MINERAL LEASES.

Another attempt is to be made to put

this line that he will introduce within
day or two, which is an amendment
Of the existing law regulating the sale
and lease of mineral lands. One of
the amendments is to the effect that
the first person applying shall receive
the lease. The law already provided
that where two or more applied for the
lease at the same time, it should go TO
the highest bidder. The amendment
expands a little along this line, direct
ing that the term applying at the
same" shall be construed to mean all
persons making simultaneous applica-
ton, or who are standing in line or
in the auditors office in the process Of
advancing for the purpose of applying
Special applications made by mail and
received by the same delivery are also
to be considered as having been made

HAS MORE THAN pouaIEn.

The News Tribune of Sunday has the
following to say regarding the popula
ton Of the range towns and while We
think they estimate little high, we are
nevertheless of the opinion that the
population has increased at least a
half. The Tribune says:
The population of the iron ranges of
Minnesota has more than doubled since
the last United States census was TAX
en-. AT that time the government
enumerators gave the ranges a total of
about 10000 and the population is now
estimated at over 10000. Nothing, it
would appear at present, will prevent
a continued increases of population for
an indifnate period, and it is estimated
the next state census will show be-
tween $4,000 and 100000.
