Rights Of Fishermen.

Denver, July IA dispatch from
Gunnison last night says: An impor-
tant decision In regard to the rights of
fishermen was made this afternoon by
Judge Theron Stevens of the Seventh
judicial district in the case of an appli-
cation for an injunction made by Al
ONO Hartman. a prominent ranchman,
to prevent George Treasise from enter
ing his fields to fish.
The court held that the beds Of the
streams in Colorado are public high
ways for the purpose of carrying water
belonging to the people of the state,
and that any citizen has the right to
enter them for any lawful purpose, in
Guiding that Of fishing. The court fur
ther held that In getting upon the
bank in an inclosure the fisherman
did SO at his own peril, subject to tres
pass.

Decision Affecting Immigrants.

Washington. July 15,-Secretary
Metcalf of the Department of Com
merce and Labor decided Il rather nov
ell case to-day, involving the right of
an alien Mormon to enter the United
States. Mr. Metcalf ordered that the
alien be permitted to land, holding
that the law bars those only who are
in and practice polygamy, while the
foreigner in question is Mormon but
is content with one marriage.
The case arose at the port Of New
York. The alien Mormon is an Eng
lish woman Of more than ordinary in
telligence. The law OF 1891 forbide
the landing of polygamists. but does
not go into detailed description OF
what constitutes polygamy, and does
not define the belief that such acts as
bar against coming into this coun-
try.
Although the law has been on the
statute books for more than a dozen
years. this is the first time the quee-
ton of its enforcement has come up.
The immigration authorities are scrl-
tinizing aliens with 6pe-tooth comb.

sherifSs Posse Captured q Quantity OF
Paraphernslia In -Four Places.
Denver, July 16.-A special from
Greeley to the Republican says: Mar
shal Camp and five deputies raided
the gambling houses OF Evans tonight,
confiscated the gambling parspherns-
liz and arrested Jack and Jim O'Grady,
NJ. p. Peltari, Joseph Judelowitz and
Mrs. Paul Hencbell the proprietors of
the gambling houses. on q charge Of
violating the state ordinance govern
ing gambling.
The raid was planned quietly by the
marshal and no warning Preceded him.
On arriving at Evans a deputy WAS
placed in each of the i've resorts to
take charge of the slot machines ON
the lower floor. In q short time $50
people. composed mostly OF the rough
er element Of the town, gathered about
the buildings.
Jack O'Grady, who runs the finest
saloon in the place, is q stalwart Irish
man, and he determined to resist the
removal Of his property. Finding that
angry words and curses were of no
avail, he attempted to draw a gun on
the marshal. By this time twenty or
thirty OF the better citizens OF the
town had arrived and placed them
selves at the disposal Of the marshal
to aid him in enforcing law and order.
O'Grady was persuaded to offer no
more resistance and gave up his gun.
Eighteen slot machines were taken
from the houses. Six of these be-
longed to Jack O'Grady and each Of
the other houses was running three.
1t is reported that $4,000 are in these
machines, and it has been some time
since they were relieved Of t.eir con-
tents.
AS soon as the heavy machines were
placed on two heavy drays sent from
Greeley the deputies were put in
charge Of the upper rooms to remove
from them all gambling contrivances.
While in one of the upper rooms El-
mer Waters, one of the deputies, WAS
struck over the head and pummeled
by several habItues of the place.
Waters attempted to defend himself
with chair, but was knocked to the
floor, his face bruised and cut, and his
nose broken. He was taken home and
placed under the care of surgeon.
After the belongings of the gambling
rooms were loaded on the drays the
gangs around the saloons ordered the
drivers down from their seats and un-
hitched the horses from the wagons.
The marshal and his men then told
the crowd what 1t might expect If it
offered further resistance. The horses
were harnessed again and the big
wagons started for Greeley.
In the meantime word reached
Greeley that Marshal Camp was hav
ing trouble and an armed force start
ed for his assistance. 1t met the mar
shal and his plunder one mile from
town and escorted him home. On dr.
riving here at 10 O'Clock the company
was net by 200 people

STRIKE STILL ON.


DennsIiy at St. Louis.-ssys
There Will De No Riots.
St. Louis. July ls.-There Was NO
change noticeable in the strike situ-
alton In St. Louis and East st. Louis
packing plants yesterday. The sngt-
neers and fremen were the only mea
employed about the houses to-day.
Michael Donnelly, International
president, arrived from CHICAGO
and spent much OF the day in
conference in East St. Louis with
strike leaders. He addressed q mass
meeting of strikers in East st. Louis
city hall. Several thousand men were
unable to gain admittance. President
Donnelly received an ovation. He
said:
We shall never aEain enter Into
arbitration unless every man. woman
and child who has been discharged or
who II out on strike has been re-
turned to their former positions with
out prejudice. Cattle buyers and 9TH
Or men who have been with the pack
Tag houses for years have given up
their Jobs rather than hll the posi-
tions Of the strikers. and we would be
inSrates II We accepted any plan or &C.
quiesce In any movement which would
not result In the immediate re-employ-
ment of these men who had been faith
full to us.
THE strike is only in it's infancy.
It will be the most gigantic In the
history Of the country since the coal
strike. The meat strike affects every
working man. It enters into the per-
sonal life Of every home, for meat is
an absolute necessity.
No riot shall take place in Chicago
or any other center. and the union Of
fcials and the men must see to this
even II they have to stand insult to
avoid It, There were no riots as re-
ported in Chicago and South st. Paul;
merely brawls between our own men.
I'VE have had the representatives
Of the trades unions who are employed
by the packing houses say to US, we
are at your command
Whenever We say that they shall
come out, they will march out. to a
man.
"The strike will never be forgotten.
1t will prove one of the best educators
In the history of the country. 1t will
illustrate the pre-eminent standing Of
the brotherhood of man"
At the conclusion of the meeting
President Donnelly. in an interview.
stated that, according to information
which he had received from John
Joyce. International secretary Of the
union. the packers killed between 500
and 1000 cattle during last week, as
compared with $4,000 to 10000 head
during the same period one year ago.
in three months time" said Presi-
dent Donnelly, eff the strike should
happen to last that long, the packers
cannot get skilled men sufficient to
kill over five per cent. of the regular
run OF cattle.
Should sympathetic strike be
called, 1t will include the union men in
every division of employment of the
packing houses. This will include the
firemen, engineers, electrical workers,
carpenters. plumbers, painters, COOP
ers, steam filters, drivers and railroad
men. The latter will refuse to handle
goods consigned to and from the pack
ing houses. This call will not be
made. until it is deemed absolutely
necessary. but when 1t is made have
been assured that they will come out"

Odd Chinese Medicines,

From the Chicago News.
Though the pill habit is said by medical
journals to cause more dyspepsia than it
cures, 1t has, at any rate, the sanction of
antiquity. In an article which DIR. H. L.
Norris, a British naval surgeon on the
China station, contributes to one of the
medical journals, he remarks that doses in
the Chinese pharmacopoeia are Invariably
large and the pills are taken by the hun
dreds." The Chinese, he adds possess an
enormous veneration for antiquity, and be-
sides powdered deer's horns to promote lon
gevity and tigers bones to promote BRAY
cry, dose themselves with fossil ivory fos-
sill crabs and shells, ancient SCOT and water
in which a few copper coins of an early
dynasty have been boiled.
Other maginatiVe remedies are SCORPIONS
dried silkworms, baked toads wasps' nests
and cockroaches. AT the end of a consid-
cradle catalogue of similar prophylactics
DR.. Norris observes that, though his list is
far from complete. It will show through
what varied rangeaef thought Chinese
ideas have moved in attem s to relieve the
diseases common to humanity. PERHAPS
the most curious of all preventive medi-
cines is a soap made from a black cat.
which is drunk by blacksmiths in Canton
to prevent burns from hot metals.
II the remedies are in themselves nause-
ating the nomenclature of the drugs is al
most literary. 1.-The arrow of the hundred
medicines" "thunderp3Hs, water dragon
bones,' 1.-The king of the field boundaries"
thousand tales worth seed" are some OF
the names,
