Special to The Tribune.
AMERICAN FORK, May S,-Robert
Walker and Brigham McNiel spent yes
terday in American Fork canyon. where
they planted % 900 brook trout, which
were shipped from the hatchery at Muir
ray. The American Fork canyon stream
has been planted several times with trout,
but the planting has not altogether been
successful although some have grown 10
a fair size. The trouble experienced IS
that during the spring months the water
becomes so muddy that the young fish
are unable 10 live, After the high water
period, which is also the muddy period
the creek is strcwn with dead fish
Some people who arc acquainted with this
condition watch the creek banks. and as
soon as the fish die and are brought TO
the banks they load them In barrels and
salt them down for future use.
With the loss OF fish In the CANYON
streams the attractiv"ncss Of the canyon
as a summer cutting place is TO a large
degree lost, as angling Ia one of the
main canyon sports. AS result every
lover OF sport and summer outings is
anxious that the streams be successfully
planted.

Woman Who Killed Former
Senator Arthur Brown Not to
Be Tried This Summer.
ATTORNEYS SAY THAT
INSANITY WILL BE PLEA
Illness of Judge Powers Cause
of. the Long Delay for Hear
ing of Case.

WASHINGTON, May Sat the re-
quest of Attorney Hoover, representing
Mrs. Anna NJ, Bradley, who is under
Indictment for the murder of former
United States Senator Arthur Brown of
Utah, the trial Mrs, Bradley was to-
day postponed by Judge Stafford of
the criminal court until October I.
The request for the postponement
was based upon the illness of Judge
o w. Powers of Salt Lake City, upon
whom, as one of Mrs. Bradley's coun-
sci, has deyolved the duty Of securing
evidence in Utah in her behalf.
Mr., Hoover presented an affidavit,
stating that Judge Powers recently had
suffered from an attack of pneumonia,
and that it would be practically impos-
sible for him 10 proceed with his
branch Of the inquiry in time to pre-
sent dispositions and bring witnesses TO
Washin gton for the present term of
court. Under these circumstances
Judge Stafford readily asscnted to the
postponement, saying that as the wo-
mans life was at stake she could have
every opportunity for defense.
During the brief presentation of the
case To the court today, Mr. Hoover
made the definite statement that Mrs.
Bradley's defense would be that of in
sanity. It was announced that about
twenty-five witnesses from the West
would be asked TO testify in tho case.
but that of these only about five will
be brought 10 Washington.
Mr.. Barker did not make any def
mite objection to postponcment, but
said that after the first Of July the ap-
preparation for witnesses would not be
sufficient to pay the expense of bring.
ing witnesses from such distance as
