Annual Report Of Board of Fisheries.

The annual report of the State
Board of Fisheries has been submit
ted to the Governor. 1t is volum1n-
Gus and complete document:
1t shows that Virginia now keeps
up q navy of oyster police boats, con-
sisting OF the steamers Accomac,
Nanpah and James River, and the
schooner Pocomoke. This was done
last year at an expense OF $40, 993S6,
which is $993.S6 in excess OF the an
nual appropriation. The excess is at
tributed to the increased cost Of coal.
Reports from oyster inspectors
show that there are engaged in TAX
ing oysters from the natural rocks,
beds and shoals with Ordinary tongs,
| q. 900 men who take a specific license
at So per season; 671 who take llcen-
SEES for the privilege of using patent
tongs at $5 per season; 400 dredging
| licenses issued, giving employment
to 1000 to 1880 people engaged In
this branch of the oyster industry.
Rent has been collected during the
present fiscal year on 47,SO3 acres OF
oyster-planting ground, OF which -
664 acres are on the eastern or ocean
side of Aceomac and northampton
counties, paying a rental OF 20 cents
per acre, with the exception OF few
recent assig nments made since the
amendment of April 2, 1902, provid-
| ing for a rental of 81 per acre on oys-
ter planting grounds in these waters
as elsewhere. 1000
There ia also included in the 47,8O3
acres 1900 acres OF deep water oyster
planting ground with rental OF 1874
cents per acre for the first five years,
% cents an acre for the next five
wears, and so cents an acre for the
next ten years. This deep-water
planting is the first experiment made
by planters in the waters OF Virginia
under the provisions of the act Of
April 2, 1902. 1t is too early yet 10

prove a success, but the success OF

belief that it can and will be protita-

the Chlnaman, Lou. wanted to know
what he was doing with them After a
few words the Chinaman attempted to
put Blue out of the room Blue grab
bed large spoon that was used in
the pantry and struck the Chinaman
over the head. They fought into the
kitchen and she ran into the dining
room. She saw the Chinaman fall with
knife sticking into his neck but she
did not see the blow struck.
DR.. Gree testified that he was call
ed in to attend the wounded man and
when he arrived found him dying from
wound in the neck. with a butcher
knife sticking into the wound; believ-
ed that an artery and the jugular vein
were severed
Charley SAM the assistant cook at
the hotel was then called. When the
fight started he was working at the
kitchen range, or near it, carving meat
for the orders. Heard a noise in the
pantry but pail little attention to it.
After short time Blne and the China
man came into the kitchen fighting.
AS they struggled past the table
where the knives lay, Blue grabbed
one and stabbed Lou AS he did so.
Sam endeavored to separate the men.
Grabbed Blue and in minute the
wounded man fell to the floor He then
called for helm and pushed Blue out
OF the kitchen into the dining room
The walters and others then came in
to the kitchen and everybody talked.
Did not hear either man say anything
during the struggle. The knife used
was common butcher knife that was
used to carve in the kitchen
This testimony was submitted to
! the jury, who promptly brought in a
verdict that the deceased. Lou How,
a Chinaman. came to his death from
a wound inflicted with butcher knife
| in the hands one Chas Bennett. a
negro.
A charge Of murder was filed against
| the prisoner
In summing up the crime and all
! that lead to it. it seems that a murder
was committed that could easily have
been avoided. 1t is extremely unfor-
| tunate. as Charley Blue is an aged
man. nearly eighty, and the cause that
| lead to The killlns was trifiinS.
| The dead Chinaman was Of unusual
] intelligence. He was raised in Placer
| Vile where he worked for an Ameri
can family that sent him TO school
He spoke excellent English and was a
valued emDloye of the house where
he worked and at other places. The
| entire business is greatly to be regret
| ted and one that is keenly felt in this
| community.
1t is expected that the preliminary
hearing Will be held in a few days

and not only was the continuity of the
ore body established by the different
workings Of the plaintiff. but in num-
erOuS places that which was undOubt-
/ edly the hanging and fOotwall of the
vein was exposed. The fact that back
Of the hanging wall in this disinteg-
rated mass of country rock small
seams or assures could be found con
tanning gypsum and ore does not de
stroy the integrity and continuity Of
plaintiffs vein. In the neighbOrhOOd
Of every large vein. particularly where
much erosion has taken place, small
seams and assures Of gypsum and
quartz containing ore must neCeSsa-
rily exist, for if by disintegration ere
vices are formed, and the vein and ere
body is sloughed off, by the processes
OF nature. these creyices will be filled
with the gangue Of the vein containing
more or less mineral.
The court has very reluctantly come
! to the conclusion reached on this mo
ton for a new trial. for the reason
that the court is disposed to sustain
verdicts of iuries rather than to over
! throw them: but to have arrived at
any other conclusion than that new
trial ought to be granted in this case
would. in the Judgment OF the court,
! be to decide not only against the
great preponderence of the testimony
but against all of the testimony which
is decisive Of the subject matter; and
it should be to deprive the plaintiff
of his property without due process of
law. This court has great respect for
that ancient judge who declared that
! it took thirteen instead OF twelve to
take away the property OF litiSant
without due process of law.
Let the order be entered that new
| trial be granted in this action.

MURDERED
Charles Blue, a Negro, Kills Lou
Howe. a Chinaman

For the first time in a number OF
years Carson is credited with a muir
der. The news spread rapidly and
shortly after the deed the entire town
was talking it over
Charley Bennett. better known as
Charley Blue. killed the head cook at
the Arlington. and he was the first to
spread the news, as he appeared at the
Sheriff's Office and asked to be arres-
ted; he was only accommodated when
proof OF the action came from the Ar
lington.
THE STORY.
The story of the crime as related by
Blue is as follows: He came into the
Arlington dining room with a couple
OF bundles of goods he wished to show
the girls employed at the house. From
there he went into the pan:rv and
when he did Lou How, the China cook
stepped up and wanted to what was
in the bundles. Blue replied that it
was none of his business. and Thu
led to further words. A scuffle followed
and the two men wrestled into the
kitchen. Blue states that when they
passed the table that the Chinaman
made grab at knife that was on
the table; he failed to get it and Blue
managed to get his hands onto the
knife. He then plunged it into the
neck of the Chinaman. who released
his hold and then made his way to the
Sheriff's office. not knowing how seri-
Ouslv he had injured the Chinaman
He was placed under arrest and will
be held for a trial Of murder.
CORONER'S INQUEST.
AS soon as the crime was known a
coroner's jury was secured and what
out at the inquest. The first witness
to be examined was Miss NJ. Z. Silva.
one of the mattresses at the hotel
She stated that Charley Blue came in
to the dining room: he had two bun
/ dies with him; from there he went in
to the pantry and Lou, the Chinaman,
/ inquired what he had in the bundles
/ Blue told him that it was none of his
:, business. This lead to further words
/ and in a moment Blue grabbed a big
spoon and struck the Chinaman over
/ the head; they then fought into the
4 kitchen. Did not see the blow struck
that killed the Chinaman. Saw him
after he was dead. Was killed with a
butcher knife.
Miss Grace Martin was then sum
moned She first saw them in the
pantry The Chinaman threatened to
throw out the bundles and Blue stated
that he would have to throw him out
with them. Did not see the fight or
any blows struck
Miss Dora kattleman was the next
witness. She was in the pantry when
Blue came in; he had two bundles and
