Report from Superinten.

ernor Brooks-NoveI Method Dis
covered by Change in the Trans
portation of Eggs from the Stream
to the Hatchery-some Figures.
Special to The Republican.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Jan. 13.-Mr. S. H
Campbell, superintendent of fish hatch
cry district No. /, has filed his report
for the year 1905 with Governor
Brooks.
Mr.. Campbell reports some new and
interesting methods. Egg collections
for the season of 1906 plant are good
and the 1905 plants were successfully
made. Many Improvements at the Lar
annie and branch hatcheries have been
made.
Eggs from Dale creek were trans
ported in a novel way. In transporting
eggs from this stream in 1903 on trays
covered with spagnum moss the loss
was nearly 80 per cent, In October
1905, Mr.. Campbell was on the same
stream investigating conditions, and
found that some trout were ready to
spawn thus early. Having no trays, he
put the 10000 eggs taken in two one
quart bottles, with water. Upon his
arrival at the hatchery the discovery
was made that a loss of less than one
fourth of 1 per cen had been sustain
ed. Afterward all the eggs taken al
the Dale creek pond were transported
to the Laramie hatchery in fruit jars
the number being about 100000. The
saving over the old method of transpor,
.tation was about 29h per cent.
There are now on the trays at the
state hatchery 100000 brook trout eggs
and 10000 Loeb Leven, or brown trout
eggs, and the superintendent will take
at least 100, 900 rainbow trout eggs
from the stock fish at the hatchery.
In addition to this supply there will be
received 100000 native trout eggs from
the United States fish commission and
the superintendent will take at least
100000 rainbow trout eggs from the
Big Laramie river, making the total
number of eggs to be Matched at the
state hatchery Tor the year 1906, 1000,
1000.
To this total must be added 100000
to be Matched at the branch hatchery
at Saratoga and 100000 to be Matched
at the branch hatchery at Lander.
In conclusion, Mr.. Campbell gives
the following interesting information:
"The latter part of April, 1905, l had
the assistant superintendent from the
branch hatcheries report at Laramie,
for the purpose of collecting the spawn
of the rainbow trout from the Laramie
river. We went to the Wheatland res

New York, Jan. 13.-Arguments on

Mr.. Hagerman made his first argu-

Rowe followed Hagerman and then
curtis made a long argument for the
Standard. All complained of what they
called the unprofessional method OF
conducting the hearing, and said testi.

purposes. Attorney Hadley concluded
the argument. He said the case had
been conducted in all seriousness, of
which nobody was more convinced than
the attorneys for the defendant. Judge

Pacific Athletic club pavilion. Her
rera's victory was an easy n Cor
belts exhibition was disappointing.
He lacked the vim and dash that had
won so many battles for him, and his
once forceful blows failed to inflict any
damage upon the well-conditioned
body of his opponent.
The fight came near ending in the
first round. In the last minute of the
round Herrera caught Corbett on the
jaw with left and right in quick success
sion and sent him staggering against
the ropes, but over anxiety to land he
finishing blow caused him to swing
wildly and Corbett quickly gathered
his wits and stalled off defeat for the
time being.
In the fourth Corbett showed n brief
burst of his old-time form, twice fore
ing Herrera against the ropes n
landing with both hands.
Early in the fifth round Herrera sue
ceeded in countering solidly with his
right on Corbett's jaw and the Denver
boy staggered. Quick as a flash the
| Californian was upon him and with a
| series of rights and left sent him to
the floor. Corbett got up Immediately
but again went down from a right
swing that caught him on the side OF
the head. He struggled to his feet at
the count of six and tried to chnch.
Herrera pushed him against the ropes
and setting himself, swung a vicious
right flush to the jaw. Corbett teii
upon his face and lay in hat position
until he was counted out. He was
carried to his corner and 1t required
five minutes work by his seconds to
bring him around.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Jan. 13.-At a late
hour yesterday afternoon the board of
county commissioners of Laramie coun-
ty decided to depose County Clerk Ca
hill from his official position. The of
fee has been temporarily in charge of
Deputy Clerk Artist during the investi-
CATION conducted by State Examiner
Harry B. Henderson and his assistant,
Charles Mallin. The report of the ex-
aminer was a severe arraignment OF
the methods employed by Cahill. The
examiner says:
1T is absolutely impossible for the
examiners to determine whether or nos
all persons to whom warrants have
been issued nave received either the
warrant or its equivalent in money.
Many of the warrants have been mark
ed as being taken UP by Mr.. Cahill up
ON a certain date and mailed to the par
ties to whom the same were payable
In many instances this was doubtless
the manner in which the warrant
or warrants were disposed of. There
has been, however, a system of warrant
or check kiting that has al
different periods, almost a frezied con
dition. The system Of kiting war
rants practiced by Mr.. Cahill has beer
remarkable, and the fact that he has
mot been a subject of prosecution by
some of the parties is quite remark
