FISHING DECISION.
Anglers May Not Trespass Upon PrI-
vate Land,

Denver.-The State Supreme Court
declines to reverse itself In the famous
fish case. decided last July. There
fore. the law is that a person in the
pursuit Of fish may not trespass upon
the land OF anyone who objects. no mat
ter II the fish in the stream coursIng
through the land have been supplied
by the state.
the case came up from Gunnison
county and is entitled A. Hartman, APP
pelant VS.. George Tresise. appellee.
The defendant went upon the land OF
plaintiff in error and broke down
fence while fishing. A suit fcs tres
pass was brought In the Gunnison Dis.
trict Court and the judge dismissed 1t
on the grounds that citizen has the
right to fish on private land where
the streams are stocked at public ex-
pense.
An appeal was taken to the Su.
preme Court and Justice Campbell
wrote an opinion reversing the trial
court. He held that the Legislature
cannot make lawful n trespass by any
sort OF enactment. He was sustained
in this opinion by the entire court ex-
cepting Justice Steele.
The decision caused considerable stir
among the fishermen because property
holders along streams began to put up
signs and take toll for fishing. and a
strong effort was brought to have the
court review the case again. II was
finally reopened. Justice Gunter wrote
the opinion Monday. very briefly. how
ever, and attached Justice Campbell's
opinion to II. Justice Bailey dissented
and Justice Steele concurred with him.
Justice Gunter says that the case
really Involves the question OF riparian
rights and other matters that are now
before the United States Supreme
Court In the Kansas Colorado water
suit, and therefore the State Supreme
Court would not discuss them The
question involved that he did talk OF
| he said. was whether "A fisherman has
right to fish where the game laws
say he shall not"
Justice Bailey wrote lengthy
opinion for yesterdays decision and
concludes It with this statement: MY
excuse for filing dissenting opinion
is because OF grave danger to the agri'
cultural interests OF the state by an
nouncement of the doctrine that the
state has not full and absolute control
OF the unappropriated waters OF the
state. and the fear ! have that such
ruling will plunge the people into in
terminable litigation"

DATE IS TOO EARLY.
Would Postpone Opening Of shoshone
Reservation,

Washington. - Commissioner Rich.
ards of the General Land Office and
Commissioner I.eupp OF the Indian Of
Ace, held n conference Friday In ref
erence to opening the Shoshone; In
dian reservation, Wyoming, and de-
cided that 1t would be advisable to
have. the opening. which is set for
June 18th. postponed for sixty days.
Commissioner Richards has submit
ted to the secretary OF the interior the
form of a resolution for presentation
to Congress proposing to make the
date for opening the reservation Aug
ust 18th, unless the President shall de-
eide that II should be opened earlier.
The reasons for delaying the opening
are that II Is feared weather condi-
lions. high water In streams and lack
of railroad facilities at the time re-
auired for registration. which would be
NAV lst, would retard the opening and
would make the reservation practically
inaccessible to any considerable num-
ber of prospective settlers.
Sixty days later railroad building
toward the reservation from the north
and east will have reached their desti-
nation. streams will have subsided ana
there will be ample facilities for set
tiers to 20 on the lands for examina-
,ion and settlement. The state OF wy
oming is making surveys of irrigable
lands on the part of the reservation to
be opened and these will be completed
in time for utilization by settlers II
the date of opening should be post
poned. ~
II Secretary Hitchcock sends the
resolution to Congress. which Is the
recommendation. 1t is expected 1t VIII
pass both branches without delay.

Written and Signed Confession Gives
Details Of Many Murders-TelIs
Secret Workings Of the Western

Boise. Idaho.-The Statesman prints
the following:
The Statesman Is authorized to an
nounce that Steve Adams. arrested at
Haines. Oregon. on February goth. in
connection with the Steunenberg as.
sassination. has made full and sweep
ing confession.
This second confession Is far more
important than that made by Harry
Orchard. This Is the statement made
by James Mcfarland. the Pinkerton de-
tective las. evening. In the presence
OF Governor Gooding and J. Ii. Haw.
ley, who Is in charge OF the prosecu,
ton.
Mr.. Mcfarland added that Adams
confession fully and exactly corrob.
GRATED that made by Orchard at every
point touched on by both.
Moreover. Mcfarland continued.
Adams knows far more Of the work
ings OF the inner circle than Orchard
did, and was able to give mass OF de.
tailed Information that Orchards con.
fession did not cover. The confession
OF Adams. he said. corroborated that
given by Orchard on every substantial
point connected with the assassination
of Governor Steunenberg. Adams,
however. was not at Caldwell at the
time OF the assassination, nor was Or.
chard at the time OF the unsuccessful
effort In November. The man who as
sisted Orchard on the latter occasion.
as set forth In Orchards confession.
was Jack Simpkins.
Still another statement made by the
detective was that the Adams confes.
sion gave the details OF large mum
ber OF murders that were not referred
to in any manner by Orchard. II was
further stated that the confession had
been reduced TO writing. signed and
acknowledged. 1t was voluminous
document. covering a greater field and
in more detail than was made by Or
chard. The further statement was
made that Adams had made this con.
fession without being promised any.
thing. When talked with about the
matter he simply made clean breast
Of all he knew OF this case and OF the
secret workings of the Western FEEDER
alton.
1T was announced by the governor,
Mr.. Hawley and Mr.. Mcfarland that,
while they thought these facts should
be made public. there would be no
further information given out or
hinted at respecting this confession.

ruins caused by the tornado which
swept over a section OF this city
shortly after O'Clock Friday evening.

convicts from the Rankin county farm.

pended, and every citizen is giving his
best effort toward alleviating the suf-
fering.

low, funnel.shaped cloud was seen to
form near the city. a heavy rain had
been falling when suddenly the humid
ity became intense. With roar that

LIES varied experiences with cheerfulness
and courage. She persevered in her studies,
and graduated from the academy in the

Thursday, April 5, Mrs. Roscoe Grindle
died at her home in the village, after an
illness of only few days. The news
came very unexpectedly to many friends
and to the members of her own family
who were away. Mrs. Nindle was OF
cheerful temperament, and her cordial
greeting and ready help will be greatly
missed in the societies where she gave
assistance. In the home the loss cannot
be measured. There the aged mother of
Mr.. Grindle, who suffered a shock Of
paralysis last winter, lies unconscious of
the loss the family has sustained.
Besides her husband Mrs. Grindle
leaves one son, Burke, of Boston, a
married daughter, Mrs. Agnes Phillips, of
