DISEASE TAKES OFF
DUCKS BY HUNDREDS
Strange Malady Makes Appearance
Among Flocks Along Utah
Lake.

Provo. Aug 30.-Formcr County
Fish and Game Warden Josh Jones
has spent much time within the last
few weeks in examining the wild duck
situation, and he is authority for the
statement that there are moro ducks
in this vicinity than there have been
at a corresponding time for twenty
years. Mr.. Jones also says that there
Is some kind of disease-in his opln-
ion 1t is duck cholera-which Is kill
ing the ducks by the hundreds. He
says that the theory advanced by
some. that IT IS starvation is mere
nonsense" that there is an abundance
of food for wild fowl in and about the
streams and lakes. That the ducks
are dying there is not the least doubt.
but Mr. Jones is positive in the state.
ment that II Is disease and not
drouth that is causing the mortality.
Mr.. Jones has caught aud examined
ducks in the different stages of the
disease and he says the blood supply
Is not diminished to any marked ex-
tent. and from all appearances IL the
ducks starve it is because they be-
come so weak from the ravages of
disease that they are unable 10 fly

GEM STATE is PRAISED
BY HOWARD r. briggs

Professor Howard r. briggs, who
recently spent three weeks In com
pany with DT G.. w. Middleton. in
northeastern Idaho. has returned with
a much broader idea of that part of
the Gem state. He spoke enthus-
iastically Of the development that
mas taken place there within twelve
years, especially along the line OF
dry farming. All the valley of the
Teton. he gays, is now one gigantic
grain field, which is averaging this
year from thirty to thirty-dve bushels
OF wheat TO the acre, without irri-

DT. briggs seems to think that tho
possibilities for dairy farming In the
Teton basin are unlimited. the eli

to those of Wasatch county In Utah. A
great deal Of timothy Is raised in the
valley. growing abundantly at Jack"

is S420 feet Sheep raising Is now
the principal industry and fine stock
Is being introduced In addition 10
the advantages set forth, 1t is an ideal
place to hunt and fish, the climate

OPINION is GIVEN
IN RAILW CASE

Without passing upon the point Of
whether the act of congress. approved
March 3, 1875. granting to railways
rights-of-way through public lands. ap-
plies only to railroads constructed and
operated after the act was passed, OF
To railroads constructed and in opera
tion before the act was passed, the SUI
Dreme court, in an opinion handed
down Tuesday. reversed the Judgment
OF the Third district court in favor
of the defendants in the suit OF the
Rio Grande Western Railway com
pany against the Striughnms TO quiet
utle To strip OF ground 200 feet wide
along the right-Of-way of the Bingham
branch of the present Denver &c Rio
Grande.
The StrInghams acquired possession
of the ground in question by right of
settlement back In the seventies. Tho
Bingham Canyon & Camp Floyd Rail-
way company predecessor of the Rio
Grande Western. in 1872 organized TO
build a line from Sandy to Lewiston.
Tooelc county, a distance OF thirty
FIVE miles, and in September of 1875
filed its Incorporation articles with
the secretary of the interior. but fall
ed to finish the road beyond Bingham.
The Rio Grande Western afterward
took over the line with Its appurten-
ances, but the Stringhams refused TO
give up possession Of the part OF the
right-of-way they occupied and suit
was necessary.
Lower Court Oecloion.
The lower court held that the act
Of congress granting railways rights
of-way through publis grounds did not
apply TO railways then in operation or
partly in operation and entered judg-
ment in favor of the StrInEbams eX-
cept as to a strip twelve and one-half
feet wide on either side of the track,
which the Stringhams held from Mich
olas Treweek. who got title from the
United States. The railway company
appealed.
The supreme court says that the
StTinghams lost title to tho ground by
failing to file their declaratory state
ment and making entry as pre-emptors
within the time prescribed by law,
and therefore acquired no prior right
by settlement or occupancy. The
grounds were railway grounds when
the railway company Incorporated, and
the secretary of the interior. when
he accepted the Incorporation articles,
determined the question under con
sideration. This operated as a con-
veyance OF title to the proposed right
of-way TO the railway company, the
supreme court says. and the lower
court Is ordered TO enter judgment
accordingly
The opinion Is written by Chief Jus
tice d. n Straup. his associates con-
curing The defendants were
Thomas b. and Eli Sringham, man
and wife, and nine other Stringhams.

MRS. ADAMS LEFT NURRlEDLY
BENCH WARRANT ISSUED

When it was brought to the attention
of Judge W. C. Crawford last Saturday
that Mrs. D. L. Adams was selling beef
and liquor at her home in South Dick
inson to boys and all corners, her arrest
was ordered Immediately. She was
brought before the court in a frightened
condition. After hurriedly consulting
with an attorney. she was seemingly
willing to take good advise and said
that she would plead guilty. The sheriff
and court consented to let the woman 20
to her home to lock up, in compliance
with her request, and that is the last
cen Of Mrs. Adams. The court issued
a bench warrant but the woman had
taken the first train out of the city. If
she will stay away. no one will care.
The sheriff has no place for a female
prisoner.
This is not the first mean scrape this
woman has been in, and if she does not
care to be placed in jail she had better
remain away from Dickinson. 4
