Settlers on Disputed Railroad Indemnity
Lands.
Washington, Special: Bishop Ireland IN
company with Father Stephan, of the
Catholic Indian bureau, called at the in
terror department. on the 18th inst, to
consult Land Commissioner Sparks on the
status of the settlers who are on the debata-
bic indemnity lands of the Manitoba road.
They found Gen. Sparks disposed to do
all in his power for the settlers. Hesaid he
was sorry the general principle of cancella-
ton of indemnity limits should do honest
settle any possible injury. In such
cases all the power of the Office, within
the bounds of law AID JUS
tce, should be extended to protect
the settlers. There are about two hundred
Irish farmers around Graceville in whose
welfare Bishop Ireland is interested. Beside
these there are said to be orera thousand
settlers along the road in the same plight.
Their lands are held under a contract from
the St. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba rail-
road. The indemnity decision puts the
right OF the road to these lands in doubt.
The law clerks in the land office, however,
found a provision of the law passed
Jan. ID, 1881, of which Gen. Sparks
was unaware, that covers the case
not only OF settlers in Minnesota,

the point that it will afford relief to thou

worrying over their titles. tits as follows:

Fl, page 81. Be it enacted ETC.:
That all persons who shall have
settled and made valuable and per
manent improvements upon any odd-num-
bered section OF land within any railroad
withdraw in good faith, and with the per-
mission or license of the railroad company
for whose benefit the same shall have been
made and in the expectation Of purchasing
of such company the land so settled upon,
which land is so settled and improved may
for any cause be restored to the public
domain, and who at the time OF such res
toration may not be entitled to enter and
acquire title to such lands under the pre-
emption homestead or timber culture acts,
shall be permitted at any time within three
months after such restoration, and under
such rules and regulations as the commits
sioner of the general land office may pre-
scribe, to purchase not to exceed 100 acres
in extent of the same by legal subdivision
at the price OF $3.50 per acre and to receive
patents therefor.

WITH this issue we begin another
volume. 1t is customary, but not
absolutely necessary, to write up a
stereotyped review, or retrospection,
of the career of a newspaper when
starting upon new volume. Those
of the patrons of the TIMES who have
stood by it through evil as well as
good report since first it was launch
ed upon the tempestuous sea of jour
nalism, could not have failed to wit
ness its trials and difficulties; who
rejnlced in its moments of Temporal

owner and editor has toiled and strug.
gled IN his humble way) for the ad-
vauccment of every interest of Mis-
slssippi county and her people. That
greater success has not attended his
Efforts is due solely to the want of
appreciation of the value of coun-
ty paper on the part of the majority
Of the people, and the stinted sup
port of the minority. Yet, when we
cast our eagle eye back over this
stretch of fifteen years, and call to
mind the state Of society then exist
ing, when arguments were made
convincing and cliuched at the point
of a navy six, and a book Of cards
was about the only style of literature
that was perused, and compare those
days with the present, we must be
pardorcd if we feel an honest pride
for the part played 10y the TINES in
bringing about the present peaceful
state of affairs.

farm Of John P. Cuttino, twenty
miles from this place, while chopping
wood yesterday morning was taken
violently i'll. DR.. Sally Of this place
was called and found the old man in
,convulsions. He kept grasping at
his side as if something were at his
vitals. The physician, observing this,
administered an emetic.. Soon after
taking the medicine the old man be-
gan vomiting. and within ten minutes
had elected from his stomach six
full-groWn lizards. The old man
soon began TO- improve and in a
couple of hours was able to get out
Of bed. Investigation proves that
four years ago, while drinking from
a spring, the negro swallowed what
at that time he said was lizard, but
as it gave him no trouble he soon
forgot aboutit. The zone he swallowed
was doubtless 3 female and the others
were born in bis stomach. DR.. Sally
has preserved the lizards in alcohol
and they are the talk of the whole
County.

Pull Together.

If you want your town to progress,
pull together. Differ as much as you
please in politics and religion, but
when it comes to matters pertaining
to your common interest and the pros
perity and growth Of your town, unite
and pull together. Ifyour neighoor
proposes measure that is calculated
to promote public good, don't hold
back because you didn't propose it
yourself, but give it your hasty sup
port and pull together. Don't lay
back when your neighbors are work
ing for your interests as well as
theirs, sneer and talk about ''big
heads" but take hold with a will
and pull together. That town sue
ceeds the best the citizens of which
all take pride in it, work for its sue

together, encouraging new comers
and new enterprises.
