MILITARY AUTHORITIES ON RES
ERVATION HAVE AUTHORITY.
MAY SHOOT WHEN THEY CHOOSEr
Game Warden of Nebraska Recently
Visited the Reservation nnd Was
Ordered Off Authorities' Wash
ington Say He Has No Right There.
Lincoln News : Military ofllcers and
privates seem to bo above all state
law In the Interpretation of their
rights as made by the war department
of the United States , Chief Game
Warden George L. Carter has just
heard from Washington to that effect
In reply to a complaint ho sent thither
several weeks ago regarding the con
duct of army men on the Fort Nlo-
brara reservation , who insolently defy
arrest for shooting wild game out of
season , and threaten to eject any dep
uty game warden who comes upon
the military preserve to see that the
laws of Nebraska are enforced.
The letter , which Is signed by an
unintelligible scrawl by nn army sec
retary , gives the warden no comfort
and Informs him that the soldiery Is
Immune from punishment no .matter
what the state laws may be. The
communication rends :
"Dear Sir : Referring to your let
ter of August 16 , In which you make
Inquiry , In effect , as to whether the'
fish and-game laws of the state of Ne
braska are operative on the military
reservation at Fort Nlobrara , and
whether you and your deputies are or
are not subject to ejectment from that
reservation as Intruders of you atempt
to enforce observance of the state fish
and game , laws thereon. I have the
honor to advise you that the judge
advocate general of the army , after
discussing the legal features of the
case , which was referred to him for
consideration , reports as follows :
" 'I am therefore , of the opinion that
the fish and game laws of the state of
Nebraska are not operative on the
military reservation of Ft. Niobrara ;
and it Is suggested that the chief
game warden of the state be so ad
r vised. If , after such notification , the
attempt is made to execute the game
laws within the limits of the military
reservation , the warden or other of
ficer attempting such enforcement
should be ordered to desist , for the
reasons above stated , and , If he per
sists In such attempted execution , ho
may be removed from the reserva
tion. '
"The views of the judge advocate
general of the army , as set forth
above , have been concurred in by the
* * * acting secretary of war , and by his
direction are herby communicated ip
you for your information. "
Since the war department appears
disposed to protect occupants of the
reservation who deliberately violate
the laws , Warden Carter and his as
sistants can do nothing more than to
maintain watch about the boarders of
the reservation and make arrests
where army men attempt to carry game
away. This will be done , but as the
reservation extends to the South Da
kota line in Cherry county , It will be
easy to get out that way. The of
ficers and men stationed at Fort Nio
brara not only go hunting themselves
when they please , but they invite
their friends to go upon the reserva
tion and share in the sport.
Several days ago , In a case where
the right to hunt within an Indian
reservation out of season was invol
ved , Warden Carter received an opin
ion from United States District Attor
ney W. S. Summers that persons on
the reservation were subject to all
state laws. It is believed that almost
any civil tribunal would hold the
same as applied to military reserva
tion , but Warden arter does not
care to press the matter any further.

ACCIDENTS ONTHE ROSEBUD
_
One Man Killed , Girt Bitten by Rattle
Snake , Child Kicked , Bad Runaway.
Rosebud Times : The past week has
been one of numerous acidents , one
of which has resulted In death to a
bright young man and stricken a
home with grief.
The first on the list of mishaps was
a runaway last Thursday afternoon.
.1. P. Storm had driven his team up
town and left them standing for a
moment on the street. The team be
came frightened and started off at a
merry jaunt , turning the corner nt the
State bank , whore they collded with
two other vehicles causing a general
smashup. Mr. Storm's team broke
from the buggy during the mlxup nnd
ran about three blocks south to the
Whlttecan house where they were
stopped. The other two teams
were ° ccurely tied and were
unable to get away , though they kick
ed and tore around at a frightful pace
for several moments. Fortunately no
one was hurt.
Report came to Gregory last Satur
day that Glen Bottomstoue of near
Burke had been accidently shot while
hunting chickens In company with sev
eral others. The party were riding
in a hay rack and In some manner Mr
Bottomstone's gun slipped down
through the rack and was exploded the
charge taking effect in the young
man's head and face. A considerable
portion of one side of his face was
torn away and the charge penetrated
into the brain , causing his death. He
lived until Tuesday afternoon , at
which time the grim reaper relieved
him of his suffering. This was indeed
a sad ending of what was to have
been a day's enjoyment , and the bereaved
reaved- parents and friends have the
sincere sympathy of all.
Mr. and Mrs. David Jones , who have
a farm near Dixon , drove out Into
Tripp county last Sunday , taking with
them their two little daughters , on a
fruit picking expedition. While they
were engaged in picking grapes , and
the little folks were playing near at
hand , they were suddenly startled by
a cry from Hazel , the older of the two ,
and upon Investigation found a large
rattle snake coiled around one of her
legs. The snake was speedily thrown
off and dispatched , but not until it
had severely bitten the child three
times. Mr. and Mrs. Jones took the
children into their arms and getting
into their buggy started for the nearest
medical aid which was at Dixon. It
took a couple of hours to make the
drive and the child was In a critical
condtlon when the doctor was reach
ed. Though It is a serious case , the
doctor believes ho can effect a recov
ery and bring the little one through.
The baby boy of Mr. and Mrs. . Philip
Keiser , who live two and a half miles
southeast of town , strayed away from
the house and got into the barn last
Saturday and was tramped upon by a
team of horses before the parents be
came aware of his whereabouts. The
child was severely bruised about the
body but no bou.es were broken or
displaced and it is thought it will re
cover.

Henry llasonpfltig of Norfolk nnd
ila dog , Tlgo , had a queer meeting In
Hloux C'lly the other day , after the

Mr. Hasenpllug , with friends , wan
walking around Sioux City the other

leelarcd that WIIH his dog. Illn

SAW DAN PATCH GO FAST MILE.
Marvelous Performance Sioux City
Treated Guests Well.
Ye.s , 1 saw Dan Patch go a mile and
t WIIH a marvellous porlornumco con
sidering conditions. No other horse
n the world could have duplicated
iln performance Wednesday of 2OJtt : ! !
inder the circumstances. It WIIH al-
miHt dusk when ho got the word , the
.rack was six seconds slow nnd heavy ,
i cold stiff breeze was sweeping
lown the stretch and the atmosphere
was very chilly. Why they had to
whip the gallopers beside him to
lold them Into the pace. If you ever
saw a man pumping a hand car down
a railroad grade you saw an Imitation
of how Dan came down the homestretch
stretch Ida legs working as if they
were geared to machinery with a
governor attached to regulate the mo-
Jon. That Is how perfect he moves
without a strap or weight. And yet
with his tremendous strldo and speed
10 barely touches the ground. Even
in that mud ho loft a light , clean cut
track as if ho had Just walked over
the course. Ho more than deserves
all the bouquets bestowed upon him.
Ills color , disposition and conforma
tion leave nothing to bo desired.
But bettor than Dan Patch , better
than all the sights was the good time
wo had , just to get awny and have a
holiday to ride over the country nnd
breathe the fresh air nnd enjoy the
fragrance and beauty of the rain-
washed Holds. Sioux City people
opened their homes to us , otherwise
what would the 50,000 visitors have
done ? Wo ate with the family and
conversed with the wives and daugh
ters on terms of equality without even
the formality of an Introduction , No
where else In the world except in
America would such a thing ho pos
sible. J. H. Mackay.
