FISHERMEN'S RIGHTS.
Shall They Follow Streams on Private
Property?

Denver.-The Supreme Court has
been hearing arguments in the Gunni-
son county fishing case. rising from
the intervention of the attorney gem
erals office on behalf of the state. At
ter the recent decision of the Supreme
Court holding that an individual had
no right to fish in streams crossing pri-
vate property. the state complained
that it had not been given opportunity
to appear and asked leave to intervene,
which was granted.
c. d. Hayt. Platt Rogers and Ralph
Talbot are acting as friends of the
court in the matter having volunteered
their services upon invitation, and will
submit a comprehensive brief in the
case. Judge ID. c. Beaman, Charles S.
Hughes and Shackelford Sprigg of
Gunnison argued in support OF the pre-
vious decision. |. b. Melville. assist
ant attorney general, Thomas Ward
and Ethelbert Ward argued for the
state
Mr.. Melville. speaking for the state,
held that the constitution declares the
waters of a natural stream to belong
to the public and that the Court of APP
peals in the Hornbeke case decided
that the fish belonged TO the state. For
the reason tnat the waters are pubic
and the fish belong to the state, he
contended that fishermen should have
a right TO fish in the streams.
A second point was that under the
common law all streams capable of be-
ing used to float ties, etc, are termed
nayigable. and other courts have held
that all persons have a right TO fish in
navigable streams,
The state in its argument does not
ask that fishermen be allowed to go on
the banks of streams, and ii is not CON
tended that the Legislature ever in
tended they should, but only that fish
ermen have right to walk in the bed
of the stream. The matter was taken
under adyisement.

That the British legation at Wash

James Ord. Father Fox said:

lineage of young student whom he
knew as "A boy at the university. He
told me that in those days, the latter
part of the eighteenth century, young
Ord was spoken of as one of royal
birth
Father Curley told me particularly
that the bills contracted by young
Ord We're met by the British legation
and that in his time British officers
frequently visited the institution to
inquire for young Ord. The two
eldest sons of this Ord attended
Georgetown university when Father
Curley was stationed there as priest.

Rheumatism is caused by Uric Acid
crystallizing in the muscles. Healthy
kidneys remove all Uric Acid from
the blood. Diseased Kidneys cannot
remove this Acid which collects in
the blood and poisons every vein and

rheumatism by curing the Kidneys;
by healing and strengthening them,
SO that they can rid the blood of all

the last hearing conducted in st. Louis
until after the Supreme Court has de-
cideu whether Attorney General Had
ley has the right to compel the oil
companies to produce their books or
make their officers testify.
William A. Morgan, former manager
of the Standard Oil Company at Soda
liza, Missouri, testifving, said that the
Standard Oil Company issued orders
to its agents to underSell competitors
at all hazards. He asserted that upon
one occasion he was supplied with
false gauges to be used in the attempt
to drive the enemy from the field"
Morgan's testimony created sensa
tion and the Standard Oil attorneys of
fered frequent and vigorous objections.
Morgan testified that he went into
the employ of the Standard Oil Com
pany January 10, 1898, as salesman.
Soon after he was made resident man
aSer of the company, with headquar-
terS at Sedalia. In his jurisdiction was
included Randolph, Sheridan, Howard,
Cooper and Benton counties. He was
not permitted to sell oil outside of this
territory.
His reports were sent to G. w. Mayer
who had charge of the Standard Oil in
terests in Missouri
When | took charge of the Sedalia
Office" said the witness, the Stand
ard Oil Company controlled fifty or
sixty per cent of the business in that
territory. Inside of a short time | had
taken the business away from competi-
tors and the Standard before | severed
my connection with it in 1901, con
trolled ninety per cent. of the trade in
the Sedalia territory.
Il was told to go into the field of
our enemy and destroy our competi-
tors" continued Morgan. Il was or
dered 10 sell all goods possible-to cut
prices wherever necessary. The Wa
ters-Pierce company sold within eis.ht-
cen miles of Sedalia, and ! was not al
lowed 20 go into their territory"
Mr.. Morgan was then asked to tell If
he knew of other methods resorted to
by the Standard besides cutting prices
10 get business or XIII OFF competition.
He said that the company supplied him
with barrel gauges by which he was
enabled to show that competitor
sold short" barrels.
Did you use this gauge?"
Il did not"
"Why?"
We'll. / didn't think it was proper to
use them"
What were your Instructions"
Il was told by MIR. Mayer to use the
gauges only in extreme cases-that is,
where competitor could not be driven
out by other methods or where other
arguments failed to induce the mer-
chants to buy from us -
ITO what extent would these gauges
indicate barrel of oil was short when
applied to a barrel sold by a competi-
tori"
From four TO five gallons?"
why did you refuse to carry out in
structions sent 10 you in regard to
these gauges?"
Il had personal reasons"

gauges were being used with fraudu-
lent intent. In the first place. good
