cree enjoining the commission’s
order and prohibiting joint rate

In Altercation Sunday Night At
Sneed School House—Inquest
Held Monday.
John Sneed, a young man of
only 19 or 20 years of age, and
of a good family, surrendered here
Monday morning to Sheriff J.
F- McCuistion having shot and
killed Bolin Haynes just after
church Sunday riight at the
Sneed School House, four miles
north of Swifton.
Sneed had accompanied his
widowed sister to church and
was leaving the house, when
Haynes attempted to force his
attentions upon the former’s
sister.
Several words were passed,
when, according to some of the
bystanders, Haynes pulled a re
volver and shot at Sneed several
times, none of which took ef- j
feet. Sneed drew a 22 calibre j
pistol and his first shot pierced j
Haynes’ heart and caused his j
death. Others say that Haynes i
was found to be unarmed and
did not use a gun.
Coroner Melville went to the
scene of the shooting next morn
ing to hold an inquest and was
accompanied by Judge E. L.
Boyce, who has been retained
by Sneed, whose parents are de

sent to the state asylum several
times, and was released last

Knocks Out National Game Law.
Little Rock, May 24.—Judge
Trieber in the United States Dis
trict Court yesterday handed
down his opinion in the case of
the United States against Shau
ver, declaring the migratory
wild bird act passed by Congress
in 1913, unconstitutional. Con
gress by the act sought to pro
tect the migratory game in the
United States. The court holds
that the wild game, whether mi
gratory or local, are the sole
property of the states where
found, not in the proprietary
sense, but for the benefit of all
the people, and that the states a
lone can enact legislation for
their protection. Judge Trieber
in his opinion holds that the
powers of congress are limited to
those granted by the constitu
tion. either expressly or by ne
cessary implication; that the po
lice powers over the internal af
fairs of the states have been re
tained by them and congress
ptssesses police power only as
to those subjects expressly
granted to it; that wiki game
has always been recognized as
the property of the states and
subject to their control under
the police power; that nothing
;,n the national constitution jus
tifies the construction which
grants to the nation any con
trol ovei ie interest in the
game. In reply to the conten
tion that the states are power
less to protect the game, the
court holds that this does not
justify the courts in extending
the powers of congress beyond
those granted by the constitu
tion but that the people alone,
by an amendment to the consti
tution, can remedy that defect,
if it exists. As the question
innp in whir4i tmnrtcmfln oil mror
the United States are taking a j
deep interest, and was lately the
subject of an extended debate
jn the United States Senate, the
,case will no doubt be appealed
to the supreme court, and there
authoritaLively settled..
