Land Suits.

The Lansing Republican says that At
torney General Smith, in behalf the peo-
pie of the state OF Michigan, is about to
commence suits in the circuit court for
that county in chancery against Charles
F. Ruggles and Daniel ID. Ruggles,
of Manistee. for deception and fraud in
regard to agricultural college lands. They
bought considerable quantities of these
lands at 30 per acre, making oath that
there We're valuable only for farming pur-
poses, when the lands were really vallla-
bic for pine timber thereon, anil the
price was So per acre. They paid only
one-quarter OF the purchase money down,
at SO per acre, with interest at seven per
cent on the amount unpaid, whereas the
whole price of IS per acre was required
in cash for pine timber lnd. For this
''confederating and agreeing to defraud
the people" OF this state, the said Daniel
d. Ruggles and Charles F., his son, are
required to appear into court and show
why their part-paip Certificate should not
be Cancelled, and the sale of land to them
declared void. Several other parties
whose names have not transpired will
be hauled up by the Attorney General
for similar transactions, whereby the
people are subjected to loss.

Little Traverse must be an exceedingly
pleasant place in which to live. Law suits
seem to be the order of the day. The
slightest pretext is sufficient for legal
proceedings to be commenced. Ford, the
Prosecuting Attorney of Emmett county,
seems to be the leading spirit i a all this
lawlessness. A short time ago Ford had
R. III. Thomas arrested for improperly
exposing his person, and before the case
was terminated Thomas assaulted Ford
and seriously injured him. whereupon
Ford has had Thomas arrested for assault
with intent to kill. And now, Thomas
turns upon Ford and has him arrested
for attempt to commit rape upon the
person of a squaw. This trial resulted
in an adjournment until last Wednesday,
the result Of which we have not learned.
Frply. Little Traverse is serely afflicted,

HarbOr Matters,

The appropriations for the river and
harbOr improvements are not as yet def
nitely settled, nor dces it appear that the
committee having the matter in charge,
have fully settled the matter among them
selves Last Saturday the House commit
tee on Commerce held meeting and
heard the representa- yes of the north
western states on this subject. The inter.
es OF Michigan were advocated by Sena-
tors Ferry and Christiancy, and Represen-
tatiyes Hubbell, Potter, Bradley and VIM.
B. Williams. The committee took no &C.
ton, but it is expected they will complete
and report the bill within the next week.
Senator Ferry said he had no doubt about
Michigan, but there will be a large reduc-
tion in the general sum appropriated, and
the bill will have to be made to suit the
policy of the majority in the House in
other matters.

The Jail Prospects.

The prospects for new Jail do not
seem to be quite as encouraging as they
were. The readers of the TRIBUNE will
remember that at the last meeting of the
Board of Supervisors a resolution was
adopted. submitting to a vote of the pco-
pie proposition to raise $4,000, by bond
ing the county, to build new Jail. This
was all right, but the law requires that
notices of such an election shall be pub
lished and posted in prominent places.
This has not been done, and it is the
opinion that this neglect will cause the
election, if held, to be Illegal. This will
destroy any prospects for new Jail un-
less special election is called for the
purpose. sr.lE sF -
