His first act was to confscate a
barrel of cartridges which with
his own eyes he saw carried into
the back room Of the butcher
shop. He entered the front
room, but was not admitted into
the back room until the proprie.
tor had sufficient time to hurl
the birds through a window into
the deep snow. He went out
with a shovel and collected
enough birds and enough evi-
dence to convict, he thought. But
at the trial the butcher testified
that the birds had met their
deaths by freezing on a tree be-
side his shop, dropping into the
snow, naturally, Fourteen prom.
inent citizens swore the butcher
was telling the truth and twelve
jurors believed it.
It was reported to Smith that
a settler was catching fish for
market. He called to his aid a
local consta BILE and sWooped down
on the settler one morning in the
spring just as he was drawing in
a loaded net. The officials re-
NAMED in the brush until the
settler went home with his morn
ing's catch. Smith directed the
constable to seige the net while
he pursued the law breaker. He
went to the settlers cabin and
discovered more evidence. A
deer hide was nailed to the wall,
and the guilty man was eating
vension for breakfast.
Smith put the deer hide in his
pack sack and the settler under
arrest, and both men walked to
Sla blown. Bud Betzelheimer
stood in front of his saloon and
beckoned to the warden.
"Come in nit my place I hat
someding Importance to tellyou. :"
"Can't do it, . said Smith with
a chest full Of dignity, Il must
hunt up the justice.
''Never minds dot. I send my
boy to up look the shustice. I
have some game bixness to dis
gust NIT you vonce.''
The trio entered the hotel
Office, where Smith dotted his
packsack and dropped it to the
floor. Then they retired to a
back room where a consultation
lasted until Smith called Bethel
heimer "a meddlesome fool"
For years afterwards the dis.
gusted warden remembered the
man as more than a fool.
The justice conrt was crowded
with Shutdown citizens when
Smith and victim arrived. Such
interest in the case inflated
Smith S observation-disclosures con
siderably.
Alas for human pride and off
cial glory! The crowd had come
to sheer and remained to jeer.
The constable, when commanded
to produce the captured fish nets
slowly unrolled two loose knit
opera shawls and a pair OF cor
sets.
S'Traitor," shrieked Smith Civ
ing his disloYal partner a shove.
"You are bribed by the pot-hunt-
ers. But, thank God! I have
myself taken care Of the deer
hide"
He emptied his packsack-or
someone else's packsack, as Bet
zelheimer afterwards intimated
and a large black bear skin fell
on the floor.

An Important Session.
The session of the legislature
for 1905 will be an important one,
though probably not so much so
as the session of 1903 and the
special session of 1902. These
two sessions of the legislature
have committed the state to sey-
eral policies of far reaching i'm
port, such as the board Of con-
troll bill, drainage, primary cleo
tions, tax revision. These poll
cies have been inaugurated and
it remains to the legislature of
1905 to strengthen and extend
them, to remedy the weaknesses
experience has shown and to sup
ply the deficiencies time has dem
onstrated. These policies while
undoubtedly approved by three.
fourths of the people of the state,
have their enemies, among which
must be reckoned no less a power
than Governor elect Johnson, un-
less his opinions have undergone
radical change since the legis-
lative session of 1903 and the
campaign Of 1904. A wise revi
sion and extension of the board
of control bill, the primary cleo
ton act and other important mea-
sures will be attended with all
the difficulties and dangers which
their enemies can throw about
them. OF new constructive leg
islation there will be little of par
amount Importance unless an act
can be passed providing for a re-
vision of the tax code. The leg
islature of 1905 will not create
much but it has much to do in
furthering what has already been
begun.

spectively by Generals Randall, Carter, and

deserved vacation, at the close of which
II Is expected he will be assigned to the
command one Of the military divisions In

General Corbin has had command of the

MAY NOT BE ABLE TO PRESIDE.
Possible Effect of the Collapse of Gen
Payne.

CHICAGO, June 16.-Chairman Henry c.
Payne was SO far recovered today that he
was able to leave his hotel to go to the
Coliseum, where the meeting Of the national
committee was held.
Unless the e is a decided and rapid
Clsnge for the better in the condition of
Henry c. Payne, Postmaster General and
acting chairman of the republican national
committee, who was yesterday stricken
| with serious collapse in Chicago, he will
not be able to assume the duties of his
pc sition by the time of the opening of the
&C invention on the DIST.
In this event Senator Scott of West Fir-
gfnia will call the convention to order and
the permanent chairman will be chosen
without the participation of Mr.. Payne.
The sudden illness Of the chief factor in
the preliminary work of the republican
| campaign at the very beginning of his real
activity not alone deprives the party of his
valuable services, but removes the last tim
Der of tine bridge by which he has all along
hoped he might cross to the craftsmanship
and do his part toward carrying the party
to victory in November.
Until yesterday Mr. Payne had thought
himself fairly free from the effects of the
illness with which he was laid low in the
spring and which necessitated a sea voyage
and complete rest for several weeks and
the Improvement In his health had been
SO marked that he is Sd id to have remarke ed
that If he had only felt as we'll several
weeks ago he would have made a fight for
the chairma nship. He added, however ac-
cording to report that Secretary Cortelyou
VIC uld mske capable man for the place
and that he undoubtedly was better equip
ped physically for the demands of the po-
sitiOn than was the Postmaster General.
His desire to be in the chair at least and
call the great convention to order Tuesday
next was second only to his former ambi-
ton to be the active head of the cam
paign committee to which will be intrusted
the difficult work of whipping the voters
into line for the Titanic struggle in No
vember.
The death of Senator Hanna, former
chairman of the national committee and
the collapse of Mr.. Payne have been severe
blows to the committee, and 1t is the hope
of every republican in the country that Mr..
Payne will be able to resume his work to
some extent. at least. before the close of
the campaign His present illness Is sup
posed to be due to more than the attack
which he suffered several weeks ago, al
though 1t is unquestionably a recurrence of
that affection, which was epileptic in char
acter. Ever since the death of Senator
Hanna he has not seemed in his usual for
mer high spirits, and 1t is said the men,
ories of other days, when the former chair
mar alive and working side by side
with the present acting chief of the comb
mittee, have had an i'll effect upon his
health. which at no time is of the best.

Convention.


CHICAGO, June 16.-Beginnng with the
Alabama fourth congressional district, the
republican national committee today pre-
pared to commence the hearing of contests
for seats in the republican national conven-

Cook. the administration delegates from
the fourth Alabama district. were ordered
placed on the temporary roll. After the
Alabama matter was settled the conte st

can party of Delaware was taken up.
The Coleman Dupont, Col Henry A. Du-
pont DR.. VIM Porr and Manlove Hayes
delegates were not present when the con-
test came up for hearing. but arrived later.
The side of the regular republican party
was argued by Col. Benjamin Nields of Will
mington, leading member of the bar of
that state; while Caleb r. Layton of the
Addicks or union republican faction a del
egate, presented the case of that SIDE.
The committee voted unanimously to
place the Addicks delegates from Delaware
on the temporary roll of the convention.

DENVER, Col, June 16.-John w.
Springer, delegate to the national repub-
lican committee, accompanied by few
friends, left for Chicago today. The re-
mainder of the Colorado delegation will
leave tomorrow and make headquarters at
the Auditorium Annex. When Colora do s
name is reached on roll call for the vice

A cablegram from Tokyo says: 1t is re-

yesterday pursued Russian cruisers, but
they were speedier than his vessels and
disappeared to the eastward, being aided
in escape by a storm.
The rumored engagement between Rus
sian and japanese warships off Xxi Island Is
extremely unlikely TO have occurred.
Weather again favored the Russians. A
storm with heavy rain swept the neigh
borhood of Tsu Island yesterday, hiding
the movements of the Russians. But indi-
cations are that the Russian ships are
making their way eastward, thus increasing
the chances of an open sea fight.
