Steal SatcheI in Broad Daylight.

NEW YORK, July 2.-While return
ing from the Atlantic bank at Atlantic
and Snedecker avenues, Brooklyn, Jen-
ME Sakol, II years old, Of 420 Stone

of a check cashed for her father, who
conducts the Central hall, an amuse-
ment place.

from a doorway and struck the girl in
the face, knocking her down. One OF

a satchel, and the pair made off by
means of the wagon, which had been
left in waiting around the corner.

Oregon Sheepmen viii Not Wait For
Permits
DEPARTMENT GIVES NOTICE TO OWNER
SUPERINTENDENT sHElLER 81.
REcTED TO ALLOW USE OF
RANGE At ONCE.

That the Oregon sheepmen who have
been allotted range in the Blue noun
tain reserve may take their herds in
without first having the regulation per-
mits from the reserve superintendent
has been decided by the department Of
the interior. A notice to this effect
was given the Umatilla county growers
a few days ago by d. B. Shelter, re-
serve superintendent, who conducted
the recent meeting at which the range
privileges were granted.
Under the rules of the department no
stockman is allowed to go upon the re-
serve without first having paid the re-
serve charges and secured a permit
from the superintendent. However,
the Blue mountain reserve was allotted
at such a late date that it is impossible
for the sheepmen to get their receipts
from Washington and permits from
Superintendent Shelter before taking
their herds upon the reserve. Conse-
quently they asked that the rule be
suspended in this instance, and the
request was granted.
Superintendent Shelter says that his
orders are to allow stOckmen to go
upon the reserve, provided he has as
surances that they have forwarded the
range charges to Washington. To
show that such has been done he asks
the stOckmen to take with them aff1-
davits from their banks showing that
they have made the necessary pay
ments.

as Court Omniscient? 2"

"By what process, pray, has the
court advised itself Of the conditions
of the minds of the jury? Do ON
niscience and omnipotence here run
hand in hand?' At another place in
his petition Mr.. Graves says:
'Is it essential to the due discharge
of it's sworn duty that the court play
Richelieu to defendant as Julie de
Mortemar?
Mark where she stands-around her
form I draw
The awful circle of our solemn church;
Set but foot within that holy ground
And on thy head-yea, though it wore
crown
launch the curse of Rome"
Mr. Graves says he is stunned and
COMPOUNDED by the decision" and asks,
whence comes this sudden access Of
power?"
"'Now, in the name of all the gods at
once,
Upon what meat doth this, our Caesar,
feed,
That he is grown so great?'"
In closing, Mr. Graves begs the court
mot to persevere in this decision" de-
claring: The. evil that men do lives
after them. For the present, the evil
seems to fall most heavily upon my
client. But in the days to come, In
the unsettling of precedents, the over
throw of long established landmarks,
the confusion of practice and the loss OF
confidence in the courts that is bound
to result, the evil will fall as weightily
upon the court as it now does upon
him."

LAWYER DEF|ES THE COURT
State Senator Graves is Very In
pudent to Judges
STRIKES BOLDLY IT SUPREME BENCH
CHARGES THAT TRIBUNAL PASS.
ED ON QUESTIONS WITHOUT
SUFFICIENT AUTHORITY.

State Senator Will G. Graves at
Olympia Friday defied the Supreme
court, declared to the court that while
the charges he had made against that
tribunal were harsh, he believed 1.-The
conclusions were justified by the facts"
and in effect told the court that unless
it decided the case the way he con-
tends for. the court should punish him
severely for his criticisms.
The matter came up on the motion of
Judge Gordon of Spokane, counsel for
the Great Northern, to dismiss the pc
tition of Attorney Graves that a re-
hearing be granted in the case of Her
bert L. Williams against the Spokane
Falls &. Northern branch of the Great
Northern.
Williams was a mail clerk and sued
the road for damages for personal in
recovered Judgment for $4,000, and
this judgment the supreme court
affirmed. Later Judge Gordon secured
a rehearing and the supreme court held
the judgment was excessive and cut
off s13, 900 Of the amount. 1t was point
ed out that per cent interest on this
amount would produce $1,000 a year
and that Williams had never earned to
exceed $500 per annum.
Observations in His Petition.
Mr.. Graves then petitioned for a re-
hearing and in that petition, which is a
printed record of IS pages, the Spo-
kane attorney, according to Judge Cor
don makes unwarranted attacks upon
the court. Judge Gordon moved to
strike the petition for this and other
reasons, and he submitted his motion
without argument today.
Mr.. Graves admitted that if his
premises were not correct and the facts
were not as he alleged he should be
ceverely dealt with by the court, but
declared that the conclusions in his
petition were inevitable from the facts
in the case The court took the matter
of the dismissal Of the petition under
advisement.
Graves contends that Gordon had not
questioned the amount Of the damages.
but directed his appeal to legal Ques-
tons as to the admissibility of evil
dence, and contends that the supreme
court had no right to pass upon
question, the amount of the judgment,
which Graves claims had not been
specifically raised by the appeal.
In referring to the action Of the SUI
preme court in reducing the amount of
the judgment, the democratic member
of the state senate from Spokane
county, Mr.. Graves, says it is an ''un-
doubted transgression of the statute
law" land unwarrantable assumption Of
power and "unquestioned transgres-
sion of every principle of law or rea-
son." Elsewhere he says:
as Court Omniscient?"
