Grazing Cattle Within Limits of Yoscmite Park Supreme Court to Decide' on Validity of Regulations Prescribed by Treasury Department. WASHINGTON. April ll.-An unusual question of law, arising out of the graxlng of cattle within the limit of Tosemite Na tional park wa argued today in the su preme court of the United State. In 1M6 J. B. Curtin was the owner of a large tract within the limits of the park. At that time Major P. C. Benson was su perintendent of the wark. .Major Benson forcibly prevented Curtin from using the public tollroad leading to his lands snd from using the lands to grate cattle until Curtm bad complied - with regulations of the Interior department requiring him to fence in his lands. Curtin cam to th supreme court to srgu that Ih reditaUosis r tre Invalid on the ground tbst tho secreCary of the In terior had no right to enforce regulations impairing or restricting the right of per son owning patented lands within the Yoeemlte National park. The Department of Justice defenda the -egulationa as necessary to prevent the reservation from being overrun by herds of cattle. It claims that Curtin's cattle have been straying over the park for years. The argument Is presented that, unlike an individual, the federal government la not required to look to the state to punish trespassers on its property, but may inflict punishment for such infringement itself.
