Attorney Chase's Statement.

Stanton, Neb., Aug. 13 49, Editor
News: | observed an item In your
paper under date of August II pur-
porting to be information furnished
you by Deputy Game Warden J. Il.
| Donovan, to the effect that he censured
me for refusing to prosecute one Gus
Wegener whom he caught using n
seine some time ago.
The facts of the case SO far as ma,
terial are that Donovan and his pros
pective complaining witness, whose
name at present | am unable to re-
call, came to Stanton for the purpose
of swearing to a complaint charging
Gus Wegener with illegal fishing un-
der the game law, stating that he was
using a seine. On interrogating the
complaining witness he stated that he
was some distance from Wegener ana
he did not know whether he had any
| fish or not, and would not swear that
he had caught fish.
Section 215O, Cobbey's Compiled
Statutes of 1909, provides. among 9TH
er things:
ut is hereby declared unlawful to
catch kill or destroy any fish in any
of the public waters of this state,
other than by the use of n hook or
line, having not more than five hooks
thereon" Then provides penalty for
violation.
Any intelligent person will readily
see that the proper construction Of
this law is that it is no offense to
use" seine, but the offense is the
catching, killing or destroying" of
fish, whether it be done by the use of
a seine, gun, club or other device, ex-
cept the hook or line provided for.
The only penalty the law imposes
upon man for having a seine in his
possession is the summary destruction
of the same by the game warden, treat
ing 1t as nuisance. This | advised
Donovan to do, but for reasons un-
known to me he did not appear to be
over Jealous to adopt this course of
procedure.
| Donovan made a mistake in making
this arrest, which is not an uncommon
thing, in cases where the law permits
arrests to be made without first hav-
ing procured warrant Then, in or
der TO shield himself from any liabil-
ity that might flow from an illegal
arrest he insisted on me prosecuting
without considering the probability OF
getting conviction. And when re-
FUSED to take game warden's con-
struction of the law instead of my own
he censured me through the columns
of your paper.
well recognize that the law enjoins
upon me the duty of prosecuting all
violations of the criminal law commit
ted In this county, and I stand ready
and willing at all times to do So But
the question of whether or not there
has been a violation of law, Is for me
to decide, and propose to enforce this
prerogative as against the Judgment
of any erudite game warden that has
yet been presented to me.
Respectfully,
d. G. Chase.

Hot Fight In Boston.

The Boston fight was even more sem
sationa and fatal than any single New
York battle. One day in narrow
street somebody started a bunch Of
firecrackers, and during the confusion
a number of Hip Sings drew their re-
volvers and began firing. At the end
of the fusillade four of the Ong Leongs
were dead or mortally wounded and
several others severely hurt Nine of
the assaiants were captured. and FIVE
of them have Just been sentenced to
the electric chair. OF these the most
prominent is Wary Charles. the lead
er of the Hip Sing tong, who main
tains his innocence. Charles is the
most prominent Hip Sing leader In the
east. Like Tom Lee. New York head
of the rival Ong Leong tong, Wary
Charles married a white woman, who
Is now fighting for his liberty. 1t was
In Nebraska that Charles married his
American wife. and there his two sons
were born. Both Of these now live In
New York. one a jeweler and the other
policeman. What strange cOn"lom-
crate is this our American life!
Most of the Chinese in America come
from the Canton district and. like the
Italians with their Mafa. Camorra and

Rasing their opinion on the govern
ment crop report for July, Wall street
experts in New York recently declared
that the total value Of farm products
Of 1909, for the first time in the Unit
ed States, will pass the ss000,OOO,OOO
mark.
The government report has been
awaited with great interest in Wall
street, not only because Of the impor-
tant influence the harvest will have
on the general business revival, but
from the fact 1t is the earliest report
which can be regarded as fair fore
cast Of the ultimate yield.
The conditions shown In the report
indicate satisfactory conditions of all
crops. Even winter wheat. which had
in an earlier report shown serious de-
terloration. showed an improvement
of over per cent at the time of har-
ly better than the corresponding crops
Of 1908 and 1907.
The corn crop Will be the largest in
the history Of the United States, while
the average Of other crops shows the

States In 1909 will be abundant. The
averages point to a total wheat crop
Of 663 900. 900 bushels and a corn crop

A Good Verdi Story.

Here Is charming story about Yer.
di: farmer living in the depths of
the country was very desirous to hear
one Of the illustrious composers op.
eras. So. better late than never, he
took his ticket, travelled up to Milan
and. securing good seat. heard
Aida" The farmer was very much
disappointed and wrote TO Verdi to say
so. adding that he did not like the
music at all and that under these cir
cumstances he hoped that Verdi would
see the reasonableness Of at once re.
turning him his money. There were
his railway fare, his ticket of admis
zion and his supper at Milan, for which
he inclosed the bill.
The grand old maestro entered fully
into the humor of the situation. He
wrote back polite letter regretting
that his music had failed to please and
inclosng the railway fare and the
price Of admission. but he added that
as the farmer would have to provide
himself with supper at home he could
not admit the justice Of that part OF
his claim and he absolutely declined
to pay for his supper at Milan.

Seventy Years Young.
"How does It feel to be seventy years
old? Seventy years young, you mean,"
said Mr.. Rockefeller In tone of gen
tie reproof to a reporter who inter-
viewed him few days ago on his golf
