CULTIvATING WASTE LANDS

IN THE WEST, WHICH ARE BOUGHT FOR
TWENTY-FIVE CENTS AN ACRE-REP0Rr OF
THE GOVERNMENT AGENT ON THE SUBJECT
TO BE MADE SOON.
II. ID. Newcomb, esq, tho resident special
agent Of the Department Of Justice In California
returned to this city yesterday, ater shsence Of
three months. The greater part Of that time he
has spent In California examining the entries made
in tho desert land Country. and the manner In
which such entries are being made.
II will be remembered that an act Of Congress
was passed during the last session providing for
such entries to be made upon certain waste or
desert lands In the West the brief points Of which
may be summed up In the following
It authorizes any person. upon the payment Of
twenty five cents per aero to any register OF the
Land ONCE and making oath that the land which
he desires Is desert land and not under cultivation
10 receive . land grant, TO be Issued by the
register for any number OF acres desired convey.
Ing title 10 such land for the poriod Of three years
only. Then. at the expiration Of that time, (the
land being properly irrigated and At for cultiva.
tion) the purchaser by paying ono dollar extra
per acre receive grant and conveyance Of the fee
simple Within twenty -four hours after the passage
Of the act II was understood that ". b. Carr, esq..
we'll known In San Francisco. had purchased over
fifry thousand acres Of this land. OF oourSe It is
not known what tho report Of Mr.. Newcomb viii
be, but II Is reported that some Of the land thus
purchased Is not desert or barren land, but land
already 1T for cultivation. When the land, how.
ever barren It may be, Is properly irrigated. II
brings from twenty to twenty .hvc dollars per acre
great many Of tho newspapers think the act in
question impoltic and are bowling voclforously
over IT, But In the minds Of wiser persons the aci
Is unanimously approved. It certainly losss moth
ing to the Government for before the act became Q
law, any one might have settled upon the land and
claimed Il under the homestead act As It Is .,
present, the land Is being sold rapidly at the nomi
nal price stated and In fow years settlements will
spring up everywhere In what would otherwise b
der tho law amounts TO G5.0O0 acres In the three

Suspicious circumstances connected with the

penso Of the District Monday afternoon, was

Thoro was considerable excitement In the
neighborhood Of McHugh's house, corner Of
Sixth and X streets southwest. Many Of the
poor people residing In the neighborhood be-
iieved that McHugh had killed Wilson.
Coroner Patterson began the inquest at the
First precinct station, and Afterwards ad-
journed 10 to McHugh's house.
Charles McHugh, who was the first witness
examined testified that he told Wilson to put
the mule up, aud then went into his store. A
woman named Sarah Rogers soon after came "a
him, and ho went out with her to the stable
and found Wilson leaning against the feed-box
He died in fow minutes.
Sarah Rogers testified to hearing Wilson cry
out In the stable, and upon entering finding
him lying against tho fced.box.
Hester Vanneson testified that sho saw
Wilson audl Ann Mciiugh quarreling. She
cursed him and said that she would kill him
They then went In. Witness went to the
store and found tho door locked. Mrs
McHugh came to the door and said the mule
had kicked Wilson. The witness went into
the yard and found threo or four women
leaning over Wilson. Ann said, 81 didn't
think ono blow would kill him." Mrs. Rogers
looked up and said, Hush, the mule kicked
him."

The force was more than human. Did not be-
| licvc that woman with q club or counter
weight could inlict such blow.
Robert Mcdonald testified that he was at
| McHugh's back gate before tho death, and
heard McHugh tell Wilson to shut his mouth
or he would takc a stick and break his ID
neck. McHugh then went back towards the
house and came back with stick.
The jury, after a short deliberation, returned
