The testimony of John Mitchell was
to the effect that IRE had no gun
whatever with him. as he and Mitchell
were hunting together when they en-
countcred Murdoch, who had shot
hole through his boat and was strand
ed. IRE then left his gun with Mitch.
ell, and returned to the clubhouse, as
Mitchell testified, returning with the
new boat in which he was bringing
him in when the arrest occurred.
SOME HARD SWEARING.
Mitchell swore that IRE could not
have shot after sunset as he had no
gun with him. Bunson swore that he
was within 20 feet of Ure when he shot
Members of the club assert that the
PUSHES were so thick where the deputy
overhauled the incoming boat, that he
couldn't have seen 10 feet ahead of him,
and that the time between his leaving
the clubhouse and his arrival on the
channel was only sufficient to allow
him to make dead break for it with
no stops. The deputy swore he saw
two guns in the bottom of Murdock's
boat, and the councilman branded this
story as untrue, Members of the club
regard Mr.. Murdoch as the unfortunate
fellow companion OF IRE whom, they
say. It has been the ambition OF Mr..
Burnham to get into trouble ever since
IRE secured the place of Waterman.
GIVEN SOME ADVICE.
At the clubhouse, before the arrest
of Margetts. the deputy was given
bit of advice by one who helped TO
frame the game law.
How long have you been a deputy?"
was asked.
This is my first day on duty" was
the response.
Well" was the advice, you DELHI
erately lied when you said you were
within 100 yards of President Love
when he and Margetts were dividing
UP their kill of ducks. Now lying is
a poor way to begin duty as warden.
don't want to go at things that way,
but In a more quiet and dignified way"
Brunson took the advice
Now the hunters on the marshes are
taking the matter up In a much per-
turbed manner, and bits of evidence
are floating In from different direc-
tons, which may cause a feud to con-
tinue into the next hunting season.
BINGLEY'S "TRIP.
In conversation with a club MEM
Der Bill Bingley. the famous catcher
of shooters after dark, and all manner
of law violators, is reported to have
said" 1 see Brunson made good

DR.. Clawson Receives High Authority
From an Expert in Confirmation.

A short time since the Deseret

efficacy of the sting of the bee for

From the man, a Mr.. Hatch, with
whom Brunson rode home after the
arrests, bit of information Is given.
II is to the effect that Hatch asked
Brunson while the latter was remov-
ing his boots, which he had splashed
full of water in his run to arrest
Murdoch and IRE. what was his object
in acting as he had.
well" is the reported answer Of
Brunson, II get $25 for each arrest 1
can make. and SIS for each conviction"
There Is no provision In the laws
for such payments to deputies. Sug-
gcstions that a part OF the fines go to
them have been voted down by legis-
latures ever since the overactivity of
certain wardens when a game pro-
tective association offered q reward of
SIS for arrests, and had its treasury de-
pleted by a single deputy. working
over the Jordan. That the end of the
case is not yet. is clearly apparent
from the attitude OF many of the hun
tiers, who feel indignant at what has
occurred.
PRESIDENT MARGETTS.
II feel very much convinced" said
President H. S. Margetts, of the New
state club, this morning, that the
prosecution was malicious, and not in
good faith. Our watchfulness to pro-
iect the game on our preserve has been
a matter in which the club has always
taken pride. A few market hunters
have had to be carefully watched. and
they have been, including Mr.. Burn

political observers approach the chances of party candidates. A certain lead is given Secretary Taft and MT Bryan. but the prophet who is worthy of being prophet is yet to appear who feels his ground securely enough to stake his reputation on the outcome The more prudent observers confess to q feeling of doubt as to the outcome on account of some kind of a mysterious readjustrlent which is talk ing place in obedience to the law of social equilibrium. There are not many weeks between now and the dates set for the two great conventions, but there are enough to accomplish things if the country Is as much in earnest as It now appears to be to return to quieter and more effective policies of government, policies which have the sanction of generations of experience. In other words. the people of the country are Seeing the uselessness of the toot horn and the trumpet.

BREAD THAT RETURNED.

Bread cast on the waters does some times return. That is pleasing and uncontradictedi story which Is going the rounds concerning what has hap pened to George B. Kafroth. Twenty four years ago Otto F. Kuenzler, a Swiss peasant, came to America. He was without funds and friendless, but Kafroth, then hotel clerk at Honey- brook. Pennsylvania, gave food, cloth ing and assistance Kuenzler died a year ago and in his will left his all to Kafroth. At the time the matter appeared to be joke, but subsequen, developments proved that Kucnzler was almost the sole legatee of rich uncle, former silk manufacturer ot St. Gallen, Switzerland, and Kafrotr has just received $75,000 in cash.
 Creditable and cheering all around Of course everybody who helps fel. low being can't and doesn't expect z fortune in return, but this is a quee, world. There is even such a thing a. lasting gratitude in 1t. Moreover. thos, who do good deeds without even in spring gratitude have their reward

SOME LIFE IN HARTFORD.

The Hartford Courant prints the following advertisement: 'Lost---To whom of my acquaintance, I, several years ago, lent a copy of Dana's Household Book of Poetry much prized for its domestic associations; and, more recently, book entitled . Four Years Under Marse Robert likewise, for reasons, specially valued; l have entirely forgotten I should be glad to recover both Joseph H Twich- ell, 125 Woodland street"
 The lapse of memory in both lender and borrower indicated by this adver- tisement is a curious illustration of the Lethean effect of life in Hartford but perhaps the borrowers will now be stirred to remembrance and will car " back the valued books to Brother Twichell. If they do we may soon be reading delicately- worded advertise ments in the Hartford papers for len, and more or less forgotten umbrellas

A FUNDAMENTAL ERROR.

Dr. Morrison, the reliable corre- spondent of the London Times. wants the world to understand that it is "a fundamental error to suppose that Manchuria has been evacuated by for eign troops. With regard to the south ern half of Manchuria, from Kwang- cheng-tsze south to Dalny. he says. the railroad, is held by Japanese soldiers, and, though the country is perfectly tranquil, is subject to the same mill tary inspection as was exercised dur ing the war. One whole division of Japanese troops, under Lieut. Gen. Ando, is stationed at iau-yane. a strategical centre in the heart of Manchuria, while six battalions of troops called railroad guards, under Governor Gen Oshima, patrol the railroad At every station. bv day and night. armed Japanese soldiers enter every compartment of a train, to the discomfort of European passengers, especially ladies, who complain of the incivility and rudeness to which they are subjected The Chinese desire to continue their Picking main line in- to Mukden City, the station being nov two and half miles distant To do SC they must cross the Japanese line. and the Japanese forbid crossing More than this they have not hesitated tc forbid the construction by British contractors of a new line, which they hold would be in direct competition with this road, which they control

 Such work as this has made such an impression on that part of Massachu- sets which is really civilized that a Safe Roads Automobile Association has been formed. It has been in oper- ation since last June Its purposes and work are: To secure the safety and safeguard the rights of the public us- ing the highways; to prevent the reck- less and improper use thereof by oper- ators of cars, by securing the revoca- tion of the license of any operator who Is guilty of improper or dangerous op- eration; to advocate just and reason able laws and proper enforcement thereof. and to attempt to preserve and improve the highways. As a result of the Association's efforts thirty-three cases have been prosecuted, seven in the courts and twenty-six before the | Highway commission. In the court cases, one defendant was defaulted, four were convicted and fined. and one was indicted by the grand jury of Essex county, and the association Is now attempting to secure his extradi- ton from Illinois. One driver of wagon has been prosecuted and fined The twenty-six cases prosecuted before
 the Massachusetts Highway commis-
 sion resulted in the revocation of elev-
 en operators licenses and suspension
 of five. In two more the Association
 Is awaiting a decision, and two wer'

Poor Outlook For Artists.

American artists are unanimous In the decision that the tariff on art must
 go. Their sole task now is to convince a Republican congress As the tariff
 on art was imposed despite the protests
 of artists. it fig hard to believe that
 their clanlor will result in having it
 removed. Congress. more than likely, will recommend that the artists of the
 country be confined in sanitoriums built for that purpose, there to be
 watched carefully and guarded till they recover their mental balance, or fail- ing in that be taken home by pitying relatives who will assume full respons~ ibility for their future conduct. A Re publican congress. we fear, is incapa

OUR CONTEMPORARIES.
The Ovrr.uppIy of Gold

(Prof. J. Pease Norton of Yale in the
 Review of Reviews)
 That high prices exist, there is no question. All average price levels, whether English or American, show in eight years more than 50 per cent in crease. In other words, 1t requires sl.50 to buy what sl would purchase on the average eight years ago. If these are not famine prices, because during eight years the crops have been bountiful, progress extremely rapid and the standard of living throughout the world upon the increase. then the causes should be sought in the depre- clation of money. If the statistics agree in showing the quantity of gold increasing, the cost of production per ton of ore diminished radically. by new inventions, and the worlds stock ot gold showing a marked and sudden in crease, little doubt remains The fact. are plain. A golden deluge is already production was 5000, 900. in 1900 SIP, 100000 in 1900 s262o0o 900. in l9o St25. o00, 900. and the rate of increase i. accelerating.
