McNew was In the habit of throwing
down tho fences on Browns farm. per-
snlltting stock from the highways to enter

to him about 1t, and he became very

NlcNew for an explanation of his con-

yolver and commenced shooting at Brown
at once. He was so close to Brown that
he struck tho revolver in an endenvor to
dlsarm his antagonist, and one ball
passed through McNew's hand. Five
shots were fired by him, all taking ef-
feet.

OF MODUS VIVENDI
1t is to be Determined Whether the
Mother country's Agreement is
Superior TO Dominion's Laws.

St Johns. \. F., oct 31.-The colo
NAL government has decided to test the
validity of the modus vivendi. 1t is
sued an official notice today enforcing
the bait act. which forbids New Found
landers to FISH on board foreign vessels
within colonial waters. and it intends
to prosecute one or more colonial fish
ermen who have been shipped by
Americans outside the three-mile limit.
after these men have been paid off by
the American vessels on which they are
serving. After this the superior court
or the privy council Will determine
whether or not the modus vivendi
Overrides colonial enactments.
The government Furthermore calcu-
lates that this threat of prosecution VIII
deter the colonists from going beyond
the marine boundaries to join American
vessels. and the latter will therefore be
unable to secure crews TO catch her
