DEs MONIES, Iowa, July 11.--Following
are the particulars of the murder OF Il. s..
Clingan at Polk City in this county. Late
last night, as far as known, as Mr.. Gin
gan, with his clerk, s. G. Hanger, were
closing the store for the night, two men
came up to them, saying Good evening"
gentlemen" and drawing their revolvers
at the same time, and without any warn
ing fred at Clingan, the ball taking effect
below the collar bone. He died instantly.
There is no clue to the perpetrators. Two
strangers we're seen a short time before II
occurred by persons going home from the
Odd Fellows Lodge. 1t being quite dark
no accurate description can be given OF
the murderers. The whole county ada
cent to Polk City was aroused, and squads
of men on horseback spent the night scour-
ing the whole region. There is q report
lust now that the pursuers are close on the
track OF the murderers. Two horses that
thew had stolen and ridden nearly to
death were found abandoned, and two
more horses we're stolen there. 1t is gen.
orally supposed that this is the second
chapter Of the mysterious murder OF
Stubs, Mayor Of the place, last year, who
was shot dead by masked men who entered
bis bedroom. Clingan and he were great
friends, and Ciingan has been taking an
active part in ferreting out his muFderers.
5000 Acres Of Land Restored.
WASHINGTON, July l1.-Over 600 reports
have been received by the COMMISSIONS
Of the General Land Office from 80 special
agents engaged in the investigation OF
fraudulent land entries up to July 1. In
many cases supplemental reports have
been called for, covering points which are
sufficiently specified TO warrant officla! ac-
lion. About $50 reports have shown SUI
ficient evidence of fraud to justify the
Land Office in summarily canoeing tie
entries. The records show, without excep-
ton, that fraudulent entries, whether
homestead or pre- emptiop, cover the full
area Of land allowed by law, namely. 16D
sores. The land already restored to the
public domain upon the reports Of these
agents. aggregates about Sc, 200 acres. A
great deal is located in rich valleys and is
held by Government at double minimum
price, 50 so per acre. The approximate
saving to Government already effected by
the Secret Service Division of the General
Land Office. ia estimated at Sl25, coo. and
it is maintained that these figures will be
doubled when action is reached upon re-
ports yet unexamined. The presence OF
these special agents has had the effect of
checking many fraudulent schemes no. yet
consummated.
