Des Moines, March 15.-Unless the
company operating the power plant In
connection with the big keokuk dam,
asks and secures from the Iowa legis-
lature, some definite grant of authority
for its operations, it is likely to find
itself unable 10 engage in the distribu-
ton Of electric current next June as
planned by the builders.
1t is settled that the state of Iowa
will, directly and for the preservation
of the state rights, go into court as an
intervenor in the pending case in the
federal court brought by small prop
erty owner to effect custer Of the power
company from the river bed, and that
the federal courts will be asked to de-
eide once and for all whether or not
the state has ownership of the river
beds and whether or not the state has
in any way relinquished it's rights.
Governor Clarke is firmly convinced
that the state has some rights that are
being invaded in proper form. Attorney
General Cosson will be directed or
asked to appear and represent the state
officially in the case. Senator Cum
Minis has indicated that the state has
a large interest In the matter. Good
lawyers who have delved deeply into
the matter say that Iowa is very much
concerned in the matter and that there
is no doubt whatever Of the superior
right Of the state.
When the power company first filed
its Incorporation papers in Illinois
was provided therein that the COM
pany should first get authority from
the legislatures of Illinois and Iowa and
esta blish it's right to occupancy OF the
river bed for commercial purposes.
this was changed and the
matter ignored.
States Own River Bed.
The situation seems to be about as
follows: The federal courts have de-
cided many times that the superior
right of the federal government in re-
gard to navigable streams extends only
to the use Of such streams for naviga-
ton purposes The rights granted by
congress to the power company went
no further than to provide for care of
the navigation interests of the Missis-
sippi But the state of Iowa owns alb
SOlutely One-naI OF the river Deu VI
the bordering cities: in other words,
the state line extends to the middle OF
the border river channel. If any part
Of the river channel should be aban-
doned by the ri4eril the state alone
would have.ownersiMps of the land thus
left. ~ 4Ha
Now the power company has occu-
pied the river bed, which belongs to the
state, and has built a power house on
a part of the river bed, and plans to
make use Of the river bed for COM
purposes. 1t will be contended
that to this extent it is q trespasser.
A suit brought by a property owner in
federal court to compel compensation
to him for damages is a case on re-
lation Of the state and it would be pos
sible for settlement to be effected in

Cripple Creek, Colo-A battle royal
between lessees and supposedly high
graders took place 1900 feet under
ground in the American Eagles mine
on Bull hill and after the exchange of
between fifteen and twenty shots.
Sheriff Henry Won Phul and Deputy
Nick Marlin were lowered into the
property and captured Andrew Boston
and Carl Melleneck and the two men
were brought to the county jail.
Lessees operating on the 1,500-foot
level Of the Eagles. noticed Boston
and Melleneck, who were strangers,
standing in one of the drifts and be-
loving the men to be ore thieves, or
dered them to throw up their hands.
This command was not obeyed and
the exchange of shots followed, but
the lessces were unable to make a
capture.
The sheriff was then advised by
telephone and. responding quickly to
the call, was, with his deputy, lowered
under ground and took the two men
into custody without firing a shot.
Boston and Melleneck entered the
mine through the Findlay property
adjoining.
