COMMITTED C
Town Marshal of Humboldt Chooses
the Pistol Route.

Sioux Falls, April /. - Hugh
Thrasher, unconscious from a bullet
wound in the head. was brought to
a Sioux Falls hospital for treatment,
where he died at 3 o'clock yesterday
morning without regaining conscious
ness.
Thrasher was about 80 years of
age. and had been for some time mar
shall of Humboldt. About 7 o'clock
Tuesday evening the young man was
discovered in an unconscious condi-
ton from a bullet wound in his head
lying alongside the Omaha railroad
track about three-quarters of a mile
west of Humboldt. Beside the body
was found a 3S-calibre revolver, with
one chamber empty. The body was
discovered by MAJ Thrasher, a broth
err of the unfortunate man, and was
taken to Humboldt, and later was
brought to this city.
1t is believed that Thrasher took
his own life, but the circumstances
surrounding the affair are such that
Coroner ]. v. Trepanier has decided
to hold IN inquest.
After the body reached the hos
pital there was severe hemorrhages
from the wound and the attending
physicians did their best to stop
these, but owing to the nature OF the
wound made no attempt to probe for
the bullet. He remained in an I'M
conscious condition until about 3
o'clock, when he breathed his last.
Thrasher was a single man and his
friends and associates are unable to
account for the rash act unless 1t be
worrying over his health, which has
been poorly for some time. Friends
now recall that ne had been acting
queerly for some time.

the township where the one man
lived assessed the outfit at $1,000 as
company property, against the COM
pany, which would give an assess
ment of $500 against each of the
other three. These three men came
before the board of commissioners
and asked an abatement of that
amount of tax as they had included
their interests in the threshing out
fit In their general personal assess
ments. On their claim the county
board, to prevent double assessment,
allowed each a rebate of $500 In
personal property assessment. When
the auditor came to deduct this
amount from their assessments, he
found that the highest personal as
sessment against either of the three
was $125. and what puzzled him was
how he could take $500 assessment
from $125, and yet leave either oil
these men any assessment on other
personal property, which they LISTED
as belonging to them.

The GAME Law
DECISION OF SUPREME COURT Il
AWAITED TO SETTLE MIGRA-
TORY BIRD QUESTION.

Until the United States supreme
court has passed on the constitution
atty of the federal game law which
has been declared unconstitutional
by two federal district court judges,
John d. Burnham. president of the
American Game Protective associa-
ton, advises all sportsmen to refrain
from breaking any of the restrictions
of the law.
Judges in Arkansas and Kansas
have declared the law unconstitution-
al when the law undertakes to regu-
late the protection OF game in the
several states and to decide the mat
ter the United States supreme court
has been asked to give this law its
attention at an early date. In speak
ing of the law Mr.. Burnham has the
following comment to make:
"Conservationists need feel no
alarm over the Kansas decision. The
supreme court of the United States
now has before 1t on appeal a case
from Arkansas in which the consti-
tutionality of the law will be finally
passed upon. That case lacks certain
important elements, favorable to the
sustaining of the law, which the Kan
sas case, which will be incorporated
with 1t, will provide. In a sense,
then, Judge Pollock's decision is a
welcome one to those who are work
ing to avert the destruction of the
wild life of the country.
THE Kansas decision is the third
that has been rendered by federal
judges on the law. In Arkansas
Judge Jacob G. Trieber on May %,
1914, held the unconstitu-
tional, while in South Dakota Judge
j. ID. Elliott, on April is, 1914, held
il constitutional. 1t is to be re-
membered that the law Is in full
force and effect by the United States
bureau of biological survey every
where in the United States, with the
exception Of the Jurisdictions of
Judges Trieber and Pollock.
"The solicitor general of the Unit
ed States has asked the supreme
court for as early consideration for
the test case as is possible, but 1t may
be that it will not be reached before
next fall. We are hoping to have II
passed upon this spring.

ton not only for game birds, but for
most of the country's valuable song
