cases the owner of land adjoining the

we'll OF course, land may be grant
ed merely to the high water mark,
the rights to the land under water
being reserved, but this is unusual
The owner of land bordering on a
stream who also owns the land under
water may extend his property by
filling in so long as he does not in
terfere with the course of the stream,
or interfere with any rights of the
public.o or of private parties. If an
island appears in a body of water it
becomes the property of the person
who owned the land under the water
upon which it was formed If the
owner of the land adjoining a stream
owns to the center of the stream,
islands forming on his side of the
stream become his property. Islands
forming in the center of the stream
are divided according to the old boun-
dairy line.
Cases have arisen where islands
and other lands have been submerged
and have subsequently reappeared.
In such instances the former owner
regains his possession and title.
| 1t is stated above that land owners
own to the center of non-navigable
waters. In the case of navigable
water the public, generally speaking,
holds the title to the bed. Thus
islands forming in navigable streams
would belong to the state and the
state may resist all extentions of the
property adjoining the navigable
water past the normal edge of the
stream or lake.
The courts have no little difficulty
in determining whether waters are
navigable or not and the various
states are in conflict. The old Eng
fish rule was that waters in which
the tide ebbed and flowed were navi-
gable, and waters not affected by tides
were not navigable, whether they
were used by large boats for purposes
of commerce or not. This rule has
been adopted in many of the American
states. In England where the large
rivers are affected by the tides the
rule fitted fairly well with the facts,
but in some states which follow the
rules, there are no tidal waters and
SO all waters in the state are ruled
as non-navigable in law though they

INDIAN MURDERER
SLAIN BY TRiBEsMEN

KINGMAN,> June ga telegram
from Searchlight, New, conveys the
information of the demise of Ateho,
the Indian who three years ago at
the Gold Bug mill killed John w.
Gilbert, the aged Waterman, and who
a few days prior killed John Wood
worth, at Timber mountain, New.
The killing of Woodwork was for
the purpose of obtaining his gun and
ammunition, while the Staying of
Gilbert was wanton murder, the old
man having befriended the Indians
during his stay on the river. An eff
fort was made by the officers of this
county and the state police of Ne
vada to capture the Indian, but he
evaded arrest.
1t is now claimed that his brother
and uncle killed him at their camp
near Eldorado Canyon on the Ari-
fZona side of the river, these rela-
tives fearing that he would murder
all his relatives should he be allowed
to remain at large.

Faust as a book has a depth that
takes years of study to fully under

that it is too deep for the common

ARE ACCUSED AS TRUST
SUIT FILED AGAINST M'CASKEN
REGISTER FIRM.
Government Alleges That Concern
Used Unfair Methods to Undermine
Business of Competitors.

Cleveland, o., Feb. 22.-In a civil
suit filed here Thursday by order Of
Attorney General Wickersham, sensa-
tional charges Of violation of the Sher-
man antitrust law are leveled at the
McCaskey Register company.
To acquire avmonopoly Of the inter-
state and foreign commerce in the
sale of account registers, appliances
and systems of keeping credit ac-
counts, the company, it's officers and
agents, 1t is charged, wrongfully and
traudulently have obstructed and sup
pressed the business of competitors,
bribed their employees, employed
agents to spy upon their business,
have waged au unfair campaign OF
patent suits and threatened suits, and
OF other unlawful methods to stifle
competition.
A campaign of fierce and unfair
competition" has been planned or con-
sented to by officers of the company,
the government alleges. A force of
special men, sometimes called the
ny1ng squadron" or knockout
men," was employed, it is declared,
to impart to statesmen and agents in
structions to destroy the business of
competitors, and for the purpose of
interfering with negotiations and in
ducing the cancellation by the custom
ers OF their contracts of sale with
competitors.

The complaint that colleges are
moving too rapidly away from the old
learning ii one very frequently heard
in our day. Many people have at
tributed this drift to the fact that
undergraduates are permitted to map
out their own courses of study. and
to do this under the influence OF a
delusion that only the 80 termed
practical" subjects are apt to prove
of any service TO them in after life,
says the Boston Herald. Hence the
classes in accounting. or In industrial
chemistry. or in political science are
large enough to tax the capacity Of
college lecture rooms, while profes-
sors of Greek or Sanskrit discourse
to half empty benches on the beau
ties Of the Odyssey" and the aphor-
iSmS Of the rig Veda." But the ex-
perience Of the university extension
courses which have been offered in
Boston during the last three or four
years seems to prove that the supe-
rior magnetism OF the so-called bread
and butter studies 10 just as pro-
nounced in the outer world AZ 1t is
within the college gates.
