GOOSE CAUSES TRAGEDY.
One Man Found Dead After Quarrel
Over Fowl.

West Point, Miss.-Clay county has
brought about by the trespass Of a
goose.
w. ]. Valentine OF West Point, but
who farms in the Rocky Hill neigh
borhood. Is miles northwest Of the
city, went on the property of the
Johnsons to recover goose. 1t
seems that there was an unfriendly
feeling between the Johnsons and
Valentine, and as a result, John. VIII
and Walter Johnson, sons of Bas-
combe Johnson, are said to have ta-
ken Valentine before a magistrate
supposedly after disarming him.
In some way Valentine secured a
pistol. II is said, and shot John john
son. who was in the buggy with him,
and escaped from the other two John
sons.
Thinking he had killed young john
son, Valentine went to the home of a
neighbor, John Hazlewood. and told
him that he had killed John Johnson
and would Immediately leave the
country.
Strangely enough the bullet had
entered Johnson's head back of the
left jawbone, and came out his mouth,
inflicting a painful but not serious
wound
Nothing more was heard of Valen-
tine until his body was reported found
| in swamp about eight miles distant
| from the scene of the trouble, and
| is said to bear no marks of violence

The so-called assembly movement

that the people are incapable of self

cannot manipulate it. I am utterly
opposed to any assembly to be held
before the date of the primary cleo

repudiating the action of this commit

scnted by every true republican.

Hepburn Seeks to Have Amend
mcnt Changed.

Washington. June 16.-With $780,
100000 provided for the completion
OF irrigation projects and various 9TH
er amendments, the house bill author
izing the withdrawal of public lands
by the president passed the senate
yesterday.
A number of other amendments
were presented, but none of import
ance was adopted. Among the more
important provisions rejected were an
amendment by Beveridge specifically
withdrawing from entry the coal lands
or Alaska and one by Gore bringing
the friar lands of the Philippines with
IN the operation of the general land
laws of those islands. There was no
roll call on the final passage of the
bill.
The bill was taken up soon after
the senate convened and a vote was
ordered on the Carter amendment au-
thorizng the issuance of s30,000,000
worth of certificates of Indebtedness
for irrigation. There was no debate
and the amendment was accepted with
practical unanimity, Senators Bur-
! ton, Gallinger and Kean casting the
| only negative votes out of a total of
| so.
| Mr.. Dixon presented an amendment
l.,rthorizing the appointment of con-

| in support Of it. Mr.. Hepburn sought
| to have the amendment so changed
as to provide that all members Of
/ the commission be selected from west
of the Tooth meridian. He said the
| east was not interested in conserva-

/ lar with the subject.
"In my prophetic mind l see Mr..
/ Clifford Pinchot at the head of the
commission" he said. 1--WE want no
such commission, no such masters"
/ He said he was opposed to the COM
mission on general principles and
complained it was intended to make
places for some people and give the
commission an air Of exclusion and
/ imperial power"
Mr. Gallnger agreed with Mr.
Hepburn and said "if the misfortune
overtakes us of having at the head of
the commission the gentleman men,
toned I can see nothing but trouble
will come of it."
Senators Overman. Clarke of Wy
oming. Lodge and Gallinger opposed
the Hepburn amendment as section
al and it was withdrawn.
After further discussion the Dixon
amendment was laid on the table.
An amendment by Gore extending
the public land lafs of the Philippines
To the friar lands was voted down
90 to SO.
