East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-02-25

United States Attorney Carl Rasch
of Montana, has notified clifford Pin
chot, chief of the United States forest
service, that the United States circuit
court of appeals at San Francisco, has
affirmed the decision of Judge Hunt
in the grazing trespass case instituted
by the government against Thomas
shannon says a Washington dispatch.
No copy of the decision has yet been
received by the forest service, but 1t
Is believed that It forbds stockmen to
allow their cattle to drift upon the
national forests, and that the national
forests need not be fenced to prevent
such drifting, although the state laws
may make such fencing necessary for
private lands
In December 1904. Shannon allow
ed his cattle to drift upon the Little
Belt national forest in Montana. To
put a stop to this suit was brought by
the United States, and on March IS,
1907. Judge Hunt, in the United States
circuit court for that state. rendered
a decision in favor of the government,
and issued an injunction perpetually
restraining Shannon from allowing his
cattle to drift upon the forests. Mon
tana has a fence law by which land
owners must fence their lands before
they can obtain redress from stock
men whose cattle, feeding upon the
open public domain, range upon and
injure the private lands.
state Law Takes Back Seat.
Shannon's counsel argued that this
state law should apply as against the
| United states, but Judge Hunt held
that the power of congress over the
pubic lands, including the national
forests, is complete; that congress has
lawfully delegated to the secretary
of agriculture the authority to make
regulations to protect the forest; that
the secretary had properly made a
| regulation that cattle must not range
upon the forests without permit, and
that consequently Shannon was a
trespasser when he allowed his cattle
to drift upon the Little Belt forest,
although it was unfenced.
Shannon appealed from this decis-
ion. and as Montana is in the ninth
federal jud cial circuit. which en-
braces most of the Rocky mountain
and Pacific states. his appeal was
heard by the United States circuit
court of appeals for the ninth circuit,
sitting at San Francisco. The court
has now affirmed Judge Hunts decis-
ion, and this judgment is binding upon
all federal courts in the circuit. A
similar case is pending in the United
States circuit court for Colorado,
which is in the eighth circuit.

Ritter Man Hangs Himself.

Arniel Hecktor, an old time resi-

that Mr.. Mecktor had been injured by
jar caused by lightning and had
never fully recovered from the eff
facts. He left the house, stating that
he would go and milk and instead of
doing this he went straight to the
barn, erected a scaffold by climbing
up to the top of the barn and tying
a rope around his neck and to a raft

Mr.. Hecktor came to Grant county
about Is years ago and has dealt in
the stock business the greater part of
