FISH HATCHERY
CASE At OGDEN
Joseph Barker Prepared to
Give the District Attorney
a TuSSIe in Court.

Within the next few days the perplex-
ing fish hatchery problem should be be-
fore the courts as a result of an action
that is being prepared by District Attor-
ney George Halverson in the name of the
state against Joseph Baker. who is
charged with illegally maintaining
screens and fish ponds in the Ogden river
in Ogden valley. The plaintiff seeks to
have the same declared a public null
sanee and to enfoin the defendant from
maintaining them.
The problem has been aired more or
less in the newspapers since the time the
attorney general handed down an opin-
ion to the effect that the ponds were APP
parently illegally maintained Reports
have been to the effect that the fish
people had decided to force the issue by
bringing a friendly action to restrain the
state from destroying the ponds. Work
along this line was entirely too slow for
the district attorney, who during the past
week has gathered his own data and pre-
pared a complaint accordingly.
Ii is alleged in the prepared complaint
that Mr.. Barker unlawfully erected pri-
vate fish hatchery upon certain springs
that from time immemOrial have risen
on the Barker premises. These springs
are said TO be part Of the Ogden river.
which have always flowed from natural
water courses into the Ogden river, form
ing tributary thereto.
1t is further claimed that the screens
and ponds are maintained in the natural
bed of the springs and streams and I'M
lawfully interferes with and obstructs
them by preventing fish from passing up
and down the channel to and from the
feeding and spawning grounds.
Mr.. Barker has announced his intention
of fighting the case to the end and in
so doing will likely carry it up to the
highest courts If il becomes necessary to
demonstrate that he is entirely within his
rights. Should the state win in its con-
tentions II will virtually mean the de-
struction of the fish industry in Ogden
valley, which Is carried on quite extern
sively- Many thousand dollars have been
invested by those who are interested in
the hatcheries and a spirited legal bat
tie Is sure to follow the filing of the
suit

Mr.. Wickham had a clergyman called,
from whom he received the holy com
munion with his most unctuOUs deYo-
ton, and when he had thus settled his
spiritual account he proceeded to ease
his mind of his last cares by making
will, in which he left the bulk of his
vast fortune to the faithful baker.
After his death the baker ordered the
most sumptuous funeral. inviting to it,
among others, the great Mr.. Wick
hams lawyer. The gentleman lost not
a moment I'm calling upon the baker TO
ask what the invitation meant. why"
said the lawyer, Il have had a letter
by this mornings post from Mr.. Wick
ham, You must have been swindled."
When the baker had quite assured
himself that he had been swindled, he
tunbled the body of the impOstOr out
of the costly coffin on the floor in his
fury and had him buried like a dog in
an obscure corner of St. Clements
churchyard.
Here is a striking story of detection
and conviction of guilt from a book
with the amazing title, Memoirs and
Anecdotes of Philip Thicknesse, Late
Governor of Land Guard Fort and IN
fortunately Father to George TOuChet
Baron Audley." This Philip Thick
nesse's father-in-law. Ford. was sent
for as a solicitor by a foreign minis
ter to trace the villain who had robbed
him, by forgery of a large sum of
money. Ford, perceiving that the spell
ing on the forged notes was not only
phonetic but phonetic according to a
foreigners INSTRUMENTATION, suspect
ed the minister's secretary of the forg-
cry. Yet it was with the secretary
that he was asked to concert measures
for the detection of the criminal.
I'VE should advertise in all the pa
pers a reward for the discovery Of the
man." suggested Ford.
Certainly" acquiesced the secre-
tary.
Let us see. Suppose we insert an
advertisement Of this kind" said Ford,
slowly composing an advertisement, IN
which ne took care to insert every mis-
spelled word in the forged notes.
THAT would do admirably" assented
the secretary.
Would you mind writing it out, as
I have forgotten my spectacles," said
Ford.
The secretary accordingly wrote the
advertisement out at Ford's dictation,
misspelling the test words precisely as
they had been misspelled in the forged
notes. Ford took the advertisement
away, inserted it in all the newspapers
and 1mmeQlately dIleI itS appearance
called again to see the secretary.
Well asked the secretary, have
you found the man?'
81 have"
YES? Who is he ?"
YOU Numbered Ford. clapping his
hand violently upon the secretary's
knee.
The secretary, without asking for
uttering a single word
started up, dashed to the open win
dow, flung himself out, and was inn
paled upon the iron ratings before the
door.
The chief evidence against John Con-
nor for the murder of a man in Cork
was the accused's hat, which was
found beside the corpse. The police
man who found the hat was cross-ex-
amined thus by Daniel O'Connell:
You swear the hat now in my hand

A Pathetic Incident.

There is birth and a death in town
today. There comes into the world a.
new railroad on 3rd Ave. from S street
TO popperton, and the death of the old
line that for fourteen years has gone
out First to 7, and thence to and
through popperton. The road that
comes into being Is the best ever. and
the one that is dead was, all through
its career, the worst that ever-that
ever tried the soul of Christian. The
roadbed was the toughest. the cars the
meanest that evil operative genius
could supply. Thank God II is dead. It
has always been damned. Let us hope
that the damnation will follow il into
eternity. Now pOpperton-which. lest
you forget, is next to Federal Heights
will have twentieth century street car
service. Now the popperton people
will have a chance for salvation and
be relieved of the need of swearing
their souls away every day. Great is
Hartmann Great is poppertoni

AGE TOLD nv THE PULSE.
From Birth to Death the Beats Have
a Steady Decrease.

How old are you? Ask your pulse.
The human pulse has a wide range,
even in perfectly healthy persons.
The female pulse always beats fast
er than the male, and from birth to
death the pulse beats steadily de-
crease. 1t has been said by great
authorities that the age and sex of
a person could be ascertained by the
rate Of the pulse alone. Babies at
birth have pulse beat of 160 times
a minute in case of girl and $50 in
the case of boys. At the age of four
or five the pulse beats will have fall.
en- respectively to 110 and 100. Maid
ems and youths pulses average So
and 80. Mature men and women av
erage so and rs. Elderly men and
women have an average of 60 and so
An old woman's pulse rarely, if ever
sinks below so, but among men 6
pulse beat below SO is quite common
There are, however, great variations
consistent with health. Napoleon's
pulse is said to have beaten only A
times q minute.
