WOMAN IN MAINE COURTS.

For the first time in the annals
Of the United States circuit court
Of the Maine district has a woman
been admitted to practise before the
federal courts. Upon the motion of
Arthur Chapman, assistant United
States district attorney, Miss Eva E.
Bean of Old Orchard has been adj
mitted to practise in the United
States circuit court by Judge Hale,
and thus she has the distinction of
being the first woman to be so hon.
ored in the state. She has been read
ing law for some years in the Office
of J. O. Bradbury, Saco. Some
what over year ago she was admit
ted to the bar and practised after
passing a successful examination.
Others have been granted such hon.
ors, but up to the present she is the
only woman in Maine granted the
privilege of appearing in the fed
eral courts.

OLD FISH TRAP DESTROYED
MissourI Contrivance That Dates
Away Back From Time OF
the Indians.

Emmett c. Higgins and Otto
Witt, game wardens, destroyed with
dynamite the fish trap on the Chari-
ton river. 1t had been in use for
many years and was netting its own
er from $4,000 to $500 a year.
Ben Clark, the owner of the place,
protested that he had purchased the
trap along with the farm and that
the fishing rights had been handed
down for years to the owners of the
farm.
He declared that he could not be
deprived of them by law. There
were many farmers waiting around
the trap for supply of fish, for
which they paid four cents pound.
The fish usually caught in the trap
were buffalo, cat, carp and croppy,
weighing from one to fifty pounds.
Catfish weighing 100 pounds have
frequently been caught in the old
trap.
The trap was a curious invention.
consisting of heavy timbers placed
midway of the stone dam. Fish
coming down stream would float
into it. The catch for day would
frequently fill an ordinary farm
wagon. It is said that the dam and
trap were originally built by the In
dams. The owners have cleared
more money from the sale of fish
than from the produce of the farms
Frequent complaints have been made
made of this method of catching
fish, but until a few days ago no
action was taken.-Kansas City
Times.

That to facilitate prompt action

that effect within 80 days and be
given all opportunity to be heard
with reference to the protest with
in three months. At present in
cases of protest no notifications are
sent until after an investigation by
a special agent. In consequence,
hundreds of claims are held up for
many months and many for a year
or two and the settlers remain in
ignorance of the reasons. This is
said to be cause of much I'M
necessary embarrassment. In
cases of apparent fraud the secreta-
ry of the interior is given discre-
ton by the bill to delay notice and
hearing.

That the lease books from the
various counties of the state are in
the state land department and show
that there has been little difference
in the leasing prices for this year
and last year. While in individu-
al cases the lease price was run up
pretty well, the average was about
the same, regardless of the higher
prices secured on sales. This is
caused no doubt by the fact that
the department made only one-year
leases this season, this on account
of the new law providing for leases
for agricultural purposes. This law
will be put into practical operation
in the leases of next year. and five
year leases will be made both fol
agricultural and grazing purposes
and on term leases, the lease re-
turns will no doubt show 4 materi
al gain over any received in pas
years. In fact if the theory o
those who endorsed agricultural
leases proves correct the amount tC
the income fund from that source
next year should run we'll into The

That jury in the state circuit
court in the new county Of Trip
has. after great deliberation and at
ter a hot legal battle, fixed the
value of an ear. The plaintiff in
the action was Eugene Smith, a
minor, his guardian, Perva Smith,
represented him in his trial. The
defendant was the Floete Lumber
company. The plaintiff lost an ear
while working in the yards of the
company, the injury being caused
by a pile of lumber breaking from
its supports and falling upon him.
The plaintiff instituted the action
for the purpose of recovering dam
ages in the sum of 1885, but af-
ter prolonged fight and after the
jury had considered the evidence
at great length the plaintiff was
awarded judgment in the sum OF
ST 200.

That this is the time of the year
when the faker, the peddler and
the black bird returneth to the
prosperous northwest to feast on
the fat of the land. How people
can buy calico, shirtwaists, quack
medicine and other things and pay
good money for questionable goods
when the home merchant stands
ready to back up any article he
sells, is beyond comparison.
According to remark recently
dropped by President Taft, he has
not made up his mind whom he
will name as judge for the district
of South Dakota. Representative
Burke called at the white house last
week to introduce Judge ]. w.
Jones of Sioux Falls. The presi-
dent discussed the judgeship brief
ly with them, going over with
Judge Jones the name of availables
who have been mentioned. The
president took occasion to say that
he was as yet undecided as to
whom he would nominate for the
vacancy.

GOES TO SEE TYLER.
Attorney Wias0n G.. Colt Counsel To
Man Accused OF Two Murders Is In
Baltimore Today.

For the purpose of consulting with
his accused client, Attorney Winson
G. Gott, left this city this morning to
talk over his case with Albert Tyler,
the man who now faces two charges
Of murder and who is in Baltimore
city Jail for safe-keepiny from the
alleged mob violence.
Mr.. Gott was accompanied by
Policeman Greene Garner of East
port, who arrested Tyler Immediately
after he had murderously assaulted
his wife and scn-in-law, both of
whom have since died of their in
juries, and his daughter, Mrs. Vivian
Robinson, who is still patient at
the Emergency Hospital.
Action looking to a re-assembling
of the October grand jury to indict
Tyler is still held up pending the re-
covery of Mrs. Robinson, the only
one of the mans victims who did not
die from the effect of his attack.
Mrs Robinson is still in the Emer-
gency Hospital, and remains in ignor-
ance of the fact that her husband is
dead from the wounds he received
when he went to her defense She is
slowly recovering her strength and
it is understood that the physicians
now think that she may safely be
told Of her husbands death. This
bad news will be broken to her either
today or tomorrow.
