JUDGE FULLER'S BIRTHDAY.
Popular County Officer and Some
Of the Things He's Done.

Judge !. Z. Fuller passed his
63d birthday anniversary Tues
day, March. 18th
1t has been truly said that a
man is as old as lie feels and esti-
mating by this standard the judge
IS 63 years Young.
A god mixer among men, "a
keen appreciation of the good
things OF life. a relisher of new
or the latest joke and a fancy OF
doing things about right are some
Of his considerations that insure
him the esteem Of his fellows and
tend to retain the vigor Of youth.
The Judge was born in New
York state Of Mavhower ancestry;
served three years In the both y.
Y. Init. and 1st Dragons: was
with Sheridan in the Shenandoah
and with Grant at the Wilderness,
Spottsylvauia, Cold Harbor, Five
Forks and Appomattox.
The call OF the west drew him
to Wyoming in 1868 where he
Joined the construction force of the
Union Pacific and later teamed
and mined in Utah, Nevada and
Idaho
While mining near Bliss Idaho.
in 1879 he became acquainted with
Miss Decker bv boarding in her
home. They were engaged to be
married when her home was des
troved by fire and with it went the
extra clothing OF the prospectuie
bride and groom.
But the Judge to bewas not to be
dishearteend or delayed by such
trifle as the loss of a wardrobe,
and the bride to be was also game
So standing by rock with the sky
for a canopy they were joined in
marriage. he in miners togs and she
in her usual every day apparel.
A shelter was improvised from the
desert till lumber could be hauled
seventy five miles for house.
For the last five years the family
has resided in Sh2shone, and some
two years ago Mr.. Fuller was called
upon to fill the po ition Of probate
Judge. And his friends seem to
think that he graces the position
and that he still retains the ability
of making good.

CUT TO PIECES.
Hobo Ground Beneath a Freight
near GOOdin9.

a sudden death overlook Jas. NJ.
Stewart, Monday morning, as he was
riding the rods Of freight train be-
tween Gooding and Shoshone.
1t appears that Stewart and his part
ner, named Stanley, were beating their
way from Portland east When they
took the freight on which the accident
occurred, Stanley was on the rods of a
car to the rear Of the one occupied by
Stewart. After passing Gooding a few
miles, Stanley saw coat on the road
bed below him On reaching Shoshone
he crawled out and looked for his part
ner, but failed to find him. He at once
reported the matter to the conductor,
and an examination showed blood on
the car wheels. An engine was sent
back, and the remains of Stewart found
on the track where the car hadrun over
him. The head had been entirely cut
off, as had also one arm and one leg.
The pieces were scattered for some dis
tance along the track. 1t was about as
near annihilatiOn as the human frame
could well find
The remains were brought to Sho-
shone, where Coroner Baugh held amin
quest. The railroad company and train
crew were exonerated from all blame.
The remains were buried by the county
the following day.
1t is supposed that Stewart fell asleep
or else missed his hold in changing his
position. Death was instantaneous.
This is the second accident of the
kind that has occurred between Sho-
shone and Gooding since the first OF the
year, and emphasizes the dangers at
tending that manner of travel. But
they were only two out of the ragged
army of more than 5000 who lose their
lives every year beating the trains.

HEPBURN BRIDGE SETTLED.
LitigantS Come to Agreement Over
Road Right Of Way.

The Hepburn bridge suit was
decided last week in the District
court at Albion by Judge Z. A.
Walters. The decision was a vir-
tual compromise between Miller,
the plaintiff, and Nerburg. the
defendant.
The point in controversy was
the approach to the bridge on the
south or left bank OF Snake river
A lost corner left the section line
in dispute and Miller claimed the
laudcrossed by the approach to the
bridge, which Nerburg the owner
OF the bridge also claimed Miller
brought suit for damages aud to
determine the ownership Of the
land in dispute. The case was
hotly contested, the plaintiff en-
ploving three attorneys and
three Surveyors. while the defense
had only one attorney and one
surveyor, John koets of ShOshone
The three surveyors employed by
Miller testified that the corner was
in a certain place and the opposing
surveyor had ho legal means of
disproving it.
According to this testimony and
following a decision of the Su-
preme court the Judge decided that
the excess of land claimed by Mil
Ter belonged to him and the decis-
ion gave the approach to the
bridge in whole or in part to Mil
Ter. Verburg then moved that a
road through Miller's land be
condemned to give access to his
bridge for public use. Miller
then offered to give the road and
fence it and Nerburg accepted the
offer. A judgment OF one dollar
was awarded Miller and the case
was ended leaving Verburg in the
position he wanted and Miller in
possession OF the coveted land.
The old road to the bridge will
remain open till the new one is in
order and it is possible that both
roads may be permanently used by
the public.
1t seems that the corners estab-
lished by the surveyors of the gov
ernment service in 1874 were
mostly marked by wooden stakes
which have ro ted away and dis
i'm many instances. The
service has now decided to relocate
the corners this season.
The new survey viii show T.
whether the rner located by the
three men employed by Miller is
correct or the one located by John
Koets, which was one and one-half /
chains west Of that point.

Kentucky Carries Its Railroad
Rate Case Up
To the Supreme Court of the
United States.
1T is OPENLY DEFIED.
Roads Refuse to Pay Any Atten.
tiOn to the Law.
Have Obtained an Opinion Rem
dering 1t Void.

Washington, Aug 2S.-The appeal
of the state of Kentucky from the de-
cision of Judge Cochran of the
United States circuit court for the
eastern district of Kentucky, declaring
unconstitutional the statute of that
state empowering the state railroad
commission to fix rates. was today
hled in the supreme court of the
Cnited States. There are cases against
all the roads operating in Judge
Cochran's district, and they are re-
garded as of much Importance.
The law in question is known as the
McChord law. and it now comes be-
fore the supreme court for the sec
ond time. In a previous proceeding
by the railroads its unconstitutionality
was declared by Judge Walter Evans
sitting in the circuit court for the dis
trict of Kentucky; but when, in that
controversy, the question came before
the supreme court that tribunal did
not pass upon the validity of the law,
but reversed Judge Evans on the
ground that his decision was in the
nature of legislation.
The railroads refused to accept this
ruling as final, but, again appealing to
the federal courts for relief, asked for
an injunction against the enforcement
of the law and for a direct construc-
ton with reference to its constitution
alfty. Judge Cochran declined to en-
ter upon the merits of the controversy,
but as compliment to Judge Evans
perfunctorily held it to be in contra
vention of the fourteenth amendment,
at the same time suggesting the wis
dom of obtaining the views of the
supreme court as soon as possible.
In their petitions the railroads bold
ly declare their intention not to en-
force the commissions rates until re-
lief is denied by the court having final
Jurisdiction, which is the supreme
court. 1t is charged that the power
which the commission attempts to ex-
ercise under the law is not only execu-
tive but judicial and legislative, as
