YOUTH Is CLEARED.
Checketts of Ogden Discharged
After Thorough Examination.

Ogden, Utah, March 1O.-The har-
rowing details of the cas- in which 10
seph A. Checketts was killed by his
eighteen-year-old son, Frank H. Chez
ketts, on the morning of February rs,
were again brought out in the police
court before Judge Murphy Thursday,
and also the full story of the misery the
family had endured from the husband
and father prior to the killing, and the
abuse the mother had been subject
ed to.
Defendant Discharged.
The hearing was due to the charge
that was filed two days ago against
Frank H. Checketts by County Attor-
ney Hulaniski,~ alleging voluntary a
slaughter. Practically the anne wit
nesses who testified before the coron-
er's jury gave testimony at the hearing.
At the close, about 8 o'clock, Judge
Murphy ordered that the defendant be
discharged and his bondsmen, his two
uncles and the brothers of the man
who vas killed, be released.
In dismissing the case Judge Muir
ply reviewed the evidence and uttered
his conclusions that the killing Of 10
seph A. Checketts by his son was due,
either to the fact that in the scufle
between the boy and his father for the
possession of the gun, the man at the
time being in the act Of choking his
wife to death, the gun was accidentally
discharged; or that the boy shot his
father in his effort to protect the life
killing was justifiable and the defend
n is discharged"

Washington, d. c., March 10.-The
senate at 4:45 o'clock yesterday after
noon passed a bill for the admission
of Oklahoma and Indian territory as
one state. Just before taking this
action the senate voted, 81 to 80, on
motion of Senator Burrows, to strike
from the bill all provision for the ad
mission of New Mexico and Arizona.
These latter territories, therefore, are
eliminated from the statehood propo-
sition. The bill as amended will now
be sent back to the house for its action.
The Foraker amendment, giving
citizens of New Mexico and Oklahoma
the right to vote on the question of
admission to the Union, vas adopted,
AZ to %, shortly after 4 o'clock. This
action is nullified by the final adoption
of the amended bill.
Struggle Likely Ended.
The statehood struggle, which ended
last evening in the admission of Okla
homa and the rejection of Arizona and
New Mexico as II state, was wit
messed by an enormous crowd, every
member of the house that could get
into the senate chamber crowding
there. Today the fight is being dis
cussed by senators and representa-
tiyes, and the statement is made that
no serious effort will now De made
next year, or for years after, to unite
New Mexico and Arizona into a single
state. The two territories are likely
to remain out in the cold for some
time.

ONE STATE TOBEM MADE
FROM TERRITORIES

Pacific railroads. The government
has arranged to plant, each year, a
hundred times more trout than are
taken out of the streams by hook and
line. Prior to 1904 the annual plant
ing in each state was between 1,000,-
900 and 10000 . fish. In 1908 the
number reached 100000 in the three
states, and in 1905 9,O0O,O 900.
Sport for Years to Come.
1t is expected that even this aston
ishing eco will be exceeded in 1906.
This continuous fish propagation in,
sures the angler irst-class sport for
years to come. In the Rio Grande and
tributaries, the Dolores and tributa-
ries, Uncompaghre and tributaries, and
San Juan and tributaries there was
planted alone by the state and gov
eminent hatcheries last year over
100000 trout. This, with the Gunni-
son, makes over 3,5OO,0 900 trout.
