JURISDICTION OVER MANAWA

FINES TWO MEN FOR ILLEGAL SEINING
Cnm- to lie Citrrleil to Supreme Court
to Set nt llesi the linpiirtnnt
unit tllNiuti')l question
of Authority.
Justice Fcrrlcr holds that the Iowa au
thorities have jurisdiction over Lnko Man
uwn. Ills decision to this effect was
.. A t ... I n , , I.. .u.. I !. I a 1
against Tom Brown and Ed Brad,
nrrcsted by Deputy Slate Game aLd Fish
Warden K. C. Hrown and charged with l-
jt.gul seining in tlio laKe. luo caso
,H,ell pcnainK several weeks nnd was
has
cently submitted beforo Justlco Fcrrlor on
" Weed statement of facts. Justice Fer-
as re-
rler holding that Lake Mnnawa Is under
tho Jurisdiction ot tho authorities ot this
stnto found tho defendants guilty as
charged and Imposed a lino of $5 and costs
In each case.
Tho prosecution of llrown nnd Hradt wus
somewhat In the nnture nt a test caso and
nn appeal will bo taken to tho district court
and In nil probability from thcro to tho
supremo court, as tho authorities arc anx
ious to havo the question determined,
llrown and Ilradt did not deny thut they
wcro seining In Lalio Mannwa, but cpu
tended that the 'Iowa authorities had no
Jurisdiction over the piece of water.
Justlco Fcrrler In his decision holds thnt
Lake Mnnawa does not come within tho
provisions of section 2547 of tho code,
which exempts from tho operation of tho
game laws of tho state of Iown in regard
to seining tho Mississippi, Missouri and
Dig Sioux rivers nnd no much of tho Dcs
Molncs river as forma tho boundary lino
between tho stnto of Iowa and tho state of
Missouri.
He says: "Tho only question to ho de
elded herein nnd the one upon which tho
guilt or innocence of these defendants do
pends Is whothcr Lake Mnnawa, tho body
of water In which tho nets complained of
wcro committed, Is within the exception
iita'.ed in section 2517. That it Is boundary
wutcr I think Is conceded by tho parties
in tho statement of facta upon which this
action Is to bo determined. That It Is not
a part of tho Missouri river nor of any
other of tho excepted waters Is also shown,
I think, by tho samo fcUtcmont.
"Whether or not being boundnry water, It
Is by Implication to be Included In tho ex
ccptcd wnters as a part thereof, has not
yot boon decided by tho Iowa supremo
court. The supremo court has held, how
ever, that tho Intent nnd purpose of the
fish and game laws ot tho state are to
preservo and protect tho samo from ruth
less nnd unwarranted destruction. This
decision applied in connection with chapter
14 oi tho acts of tho twenty-seventh gen
eral assembly, tho constitutionality of
which latter Is not questioned herein, 1m
pels this court to tho belief that section
2540 of tho code under which tho Informa
tion herein was filed applies to the whole
wntors ot Lako Manawn and thl3 court has
Jurisdiction over offenses committed
therein."

WILL JOIN OMAHA CELEBRATION
Labor Unions Vote Almost Unnnl-
uionnljr In Fnvor of Joint La
bor Da?.
The labor unions of Council Bluffs will, as
originally planned, take part In the cele
bration ot Labor day In Omaha and South
Omaha. This was decided by a practically
unanimous vote at tho open meotlng ot
tho labor organizations ot this city In Labor
hall last night.
Tho unions will have a short parade
through tho business streots Monday morn
ing before boarding the special motors at
9:30 o'clock for Omaha. Tho band from
Silver City, Ia will head tho delegation
from this clty.-
Tho opon meeting last night was presided
over by George K. Scott, president of tho
Trades and Labor assembly, who. In a lous
ing spcechv advised the labor unions of this
city not to tnko any cognizance of the com
plaints made by Mnrshal Lotts and Dclcgato
Schroeder about their treatment by tho
Omaha committee, as ho believed that thnt
not only had Lotts nnd Schroeder nctod
hastily, but had acted without authority
In assorting tint tho Council Bluffs lnborlng
men would celebrnto tho day at home. Pres
ident Scott ndvlsed overy union man to turn
out und participate In the festivities across
thu river and his sentiments wero liberally
applauded.
When the question was put to the vote. It
was carried almost unanimously, thero bo
lng but two or three dissenting voices In
tho largo crowd present.
L. V. Ouye and J. J. Kerrigan of Omaha,
and IS. Coponharvo and A. N. Davis of South
Omaha, satisfactorily explained nwny tho
mattera at 'which Lotts and Schroeder hud
taken umbrngo.
It appears that tho Omaha commlttco had
first arranged to glvo Council Bluffs tbo
place ot honor In tho parade, but later
We Don't

found that such an arrangement would
bring the bands too closo together, and tho
unions from this city were assigned another
position in tno line. Tnls did not please
Marshal Lotts and led, It Is said, to the
trouble between him and the committee.
Somo objection had been raised to Couucil
Bluffs employing tho Silver City band on
tho grounds thnt It was not a union or
ganization. This, however, was satisfactor
ily explained. All of the union bands In
Omaha had been engaged for tho day and
the Council Bluffs unions were forced to se
cure tho Silver City band or clso go with
out music. The Silver City band Is an
amateur organization, the members of
which reside In a town where there are no
labor unions.

Tho team from No. 4 company, which
..
represented Council Bluffs nt the State
Firemen's tournament, returned last evening
from Marbhalltown covered with glory and
a check for 1200. Chief Templeton reached
homo yesterday morning In advance of the

Nicholson, former chief of tho department.
Chief Temiileton acted as starter at tho
tournnment, whllo Nicholson officiated as
one of the Judges.
Council Bluffs was the only contestant
In tho lulf-milo straight away run and tho
half-mile run, starting from bunks In engine
house. Dio published statement that the
Bluffs boys beat the state record in the
half-mllo run starting from bunks Is In
correct. They mado tho run in 1:46 3-5,
whllo the stato record held by the 'Ctdur
Ilaplds lire departments 1:40 1-5. Tho run
in the half-mllo straight away was an ex
hlbltion and was mado In 1:29. Thero is no
stato record for this event. Both of these
events wcro for paid fire departments, but
Council Bluffs bad tho field to Itself, nono
of tho other cities caring to compete against
No. 4's splendid pair of bays.

What will bo done with tho prlzo money
has not been determined, but It has been
suggested that tho balance after the ex
penses of the tenm be paid bo kept as a re
servo fund In caso Council Bluffs should
send another team tS tho tournament next
year.
Ilemoornts tn Convene Ann In.
Tho democrats of Pottawattamie county
will have another conentlon to patch up

reported thnt Inasmuch as tho county con
vention had failed to vest In the county

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, Aug. 31. (Special.) The
Iowa stato fair closed last night. The tea-
turo of tho lost day was a parade ot the cattle
and horses In tho raeo track beforo a large
crowd. This parado was ono of tho finest
exhibitions of premium stock over seen lu
tho state. There were over 200 head of

Shorthorn cattlo nnd tho Percheron and
Clydesdale horses, mado t flno show.
Tho managers believe that when all ac
counts are settled and premiums all paid
they will have added to their bank account
between 110,000 and 115,000 this year, which
sum will be spent on pormanent improve
ments nt the fair ground. The total re
ceipts this year wcro about 145,000.
Tho end of the fair week was accompanied
by tbo usual sporadic attempt to close up
tho gambling houses, which had opened for
tho week apparently under protection, and
a commltteo ot ministers made tho rounds
of tho city nnd took tho nurabors of several
gambling places and reported them to the
mayor and chief of police. They promised

rush Is over.
School Consolidation Defeated.
State Superintendent Barrett has received
Information that at tho special election in
Franklin township, Black Hawk county,
yesterday, the proposition to consolidate the
rural schools of tho township was defeated.
This was tho second time tho question was
Bubmtttod. A previous election had resulted
favorable to the consolidation Idea after a
report had been mado by a commlttco ot in
vestigation ot tho rural school consolida
tions In northern Iowa. But tho opponents
went into court and compelled a new elec
tion, and by utilizing the rivalries of two
small towns In tho township succeeded In
defeating the proposition. Tho plan ot unit
Ing the rural schools In being strongly urged
by all leading educators.

The name of the Marshalltown & Dakota

PlaKtie of Wildcats.
A strango story comes from Dubuque
county to tho effect that the people living
In tho vlclnty of Kidder, a station on the
Great Western, aro alarmed because the
woods are full ot cats that wero orglnally
tame, but are now about as wild sb the
average wildcat. A resident says he saw
one puck that numbered at least 400, and
states that they had a regular battle the
other night. Ho accounts for their prcsenco
by saying that when kittens were brought in
sacks, and left in tho woods by farmers
who did not want to kill them, thoy wero
nurtured bv thn old rnt until thav tir
, bK cnoUgh to scout for themselves. They
live on field mlco and birds. Some ot them
are almost as large as the regular wild
cat, and the Informant has seen as many
as fifty of them In ono tree.

SOUTH AFRICA IN TURMOIL

norderlnir Upon a
I'nnlr.
LONDON, Aug. 31. Seme Interesting side
lights aro thrown on tho South African
war by advices published today. A dls
patch from Capetown to tho Dallv Mall in
dlcates that Scheeper's command has now
moved to the southwest and Invaded a part
ot Capo Colony previously undisturbed by
mo uoers, wnu rnoro severo restriction
have been Imposed with the obJoct of Dre
.venting communication between Capetown
ana me newly disturbed areas.
Tho Cologne Gazette's correspondent In
Capetown declares that tho "cntlro Can
Colony Is a seething mass of disorder and
alarm. He asserts that the Boers are re
celvlng support from all sides.
Edgar Wallace, writing to the Dally Ex
ress expresses a decided opinion that Lord
niicnencr s nanisnment proclamation will
not result in the surrender of a single Im
portant commandant nnd that much severer
penalties are needed, the only useful policy
being vigorous military measures. In the
early part of August a correspondent of th
Morning Express had a long talk with Lon!
Kitchener, from whom ho gathered, that
'it is not Lord Kitchener but the govern
ment that is to blame for many of the pres
ent evils."
Kitchener Illumes Government.
Lord Kitchener, It seems, complained
that the home government continually
worried him about trivial details, "merely
to reply to parliamentary heckling," and
that this compelled hlra to enforce a strict
censorship over telegrams, although per
sonally be objected to the present system.
He said he thought correspondents ought
to be given greater liberty and Bhould be
held responsible for their statements. He
avoided expressing any opinion about the
"approaching end of the war" and dis
suaded the correspondent from speaking
about it.
"Both the Morning Post and Standard
give the Information as to the concentra
tion camps and confirm the reports of
heavy mortality there, especially among
the children in July. This is said to be
"largely due to the Ignorance and unsan
itary habits ot the Boers," but conditions
are rapidly Improving. At the beginning
of August there were 100,000 persons In the
concentration camps, A correspondent of
the Morning Post asrrts that the Boer
refugees get eighteen pounds In rations
per head as against twelve pounds per
head given to BrltUa loyalists, and be

SAE GIRT, N. J., Aug. 31. The Natlonnl
Rifle Association ot America began a ten
days' shooting tournament on tho New

which promises to bo the most Important
rlflo shooting contest over held on this side
ot the Atlantic.
Two matches of international character
will bo decided before the close ot the moot

Rlflo association of Bolfast, Ireland, and the
New Jersey State Rlflo association, and tho
world's championship team contest, tor
which only two teams have entered, making
It a match botween Canada and tho United
States.
Today tho Ulster men and several of tho
American shots from whose ranks General
Bird W. Spencer will select ttho New Jersey
Rlflo association tenm, monopolized the long
ranges, beginning at the 300-yard range and
going back to the 900 and tho 1,000 yards,
each man shooting eleven times at each
distance.
.MIHtnrr Men Look On.
A largo gathering of civilian and military
experts as well as many visitors watched
the work of all tho men. Governor Foster
M. Voorhccs complimented John Wilson,
captain of tho Irish tcaqi, on the wonderful
performance of his men. At 900 yards J6hn
Morgan of Ireland scored ten successive
bullseyes, -and out of his first twenty shots
he made twenty bullseyes at the S00 and 900
yards. When each sldo had finished the
round! of threo distances Morgan had 133
points out of a possible 150, and Robert
Duncan, another Ulster man, had a similar
score. Thcro was only a ngnt wind in
evldcnco while tho men were firing over tho
shorter ranges, but when they began at
1,000 yards thcro was a fitful, puffy wind
which bothered them and the scoring be
carac Irregular. J. R. Williams of Belfast
mado the top score of forty-five at this dis
tance, and his total for the three ranges was
134. Tho next best work done was that of
Major J. K. Mlllner, whoso name has been
Identified with International rlflo shooting
Blnco 1S74, when tho Irish team first visited
Creedmoor. While hehas not been at his
best for some time he shot well today and
his scoro was 132.
Americans Not So Good.
Among the American representatives who
participated on the long range work were:
Dr. Hudson, William De V. Foulko, Captain
Whlttaker, H. M. Pope and many other
members of the New Jersey Rlflo assocla
tlon. They all acquitted themsolvcs credit
ably. None of the scores ot the American
contingent, was made known, but it wna
generally conceded that their shooting was
not as good as that of the visitors. Many
additions to the ranks of tho stato riflemen
were made today, ob two teams arrived from
Boston. Squadron A of New York sent a
team, and late this evening several
Pennsylvania representatives reached the
camp.
The only other Important matches decided
today wore tho Columbia trophy and in
3pectors' matches.- Tho former was confined
to five teams of six men each from New
Jersey stato regiments and naval reserves.
The Fourth regiment of Jersey City won
with a total of 248. Tho Inspectors' match,
open to all Inspectors of rlflo practice,
either by commission or detail, was won by
Captain Stebblns, Twelfth regiment. New

ond with ninety-one points; Lieutenant W.
M. Farrow, Second regiment, District of
Columbia, third with elghty-nlno points,
and Captain Springstead, Fourth regiment,
New Jersey, fourth with eighty-nine point.
Tho principal event tomorrow will bo tho
shoot for tho Wlmblcdom cup, for which
there Is a large entry. Tho conditions aro
thirty shots per man at 1,000 yards, and It Is
oDen only to Ike citizens of tho United
States.
