CASE DISMISSED
The vase of the II. S. against Wil
liam 'Howard, Indian, charging wan
ton waste of food fish, was dismissed
yesterday by Judge V. A. Paine, at
a hearing in the 1'. S. Commission
er’s Court, on the ground that tin'
evidence against Howard did not
show' that tho waste of food was
wanton.
Howard was alleged to have Bi
llowed herring to die in the pound
which he operates near Tee Harbor,
and be thrown away. Howard claim
ed that the herring in the pound for
use by local halibut fishermen for
! wiiiit, were held there because the
'fishermen remained in Juneau over
11 duster Sunday and the early part of
l‘he week, and did not come to get
| them and that a heavy wind blew the
nets on the beach, killing the fish.
Howard was represented by Henry
Roden.
