Millions Of Acres Opened to Settlers,

The United States Land Commissioner
Sparks has addressed letter to the regis,
ter and receiver of the land Office at Walla,
Wal}a, WASH, which is, in effect, decision
withdrawing indemnity limits along
nearly every land grant railroad In the
United States. 1t affects not less than 80
OOO, 900 acres as estimated by the land Of
flee authorities. OF these, ~ 900, 900 acres
belong to the Northern Pacific, in whose lin.
its the test case arose. A like amount
is affected along the Atlantic & Pacific, g.
5000 along the Southern Pacific and g.
DOC, 900 along the Texas Pacific, Every
land grant in Minnesota and pakota is al.
fected by the decision. The railroads have
had some income and not a little advan-
tasc by the maintenance OF i'll
demnity limits, reserving from public
settlement large bodies OF land lying
parallel to their grants. The effect was
TO compress settlement within the granted
lands, AND to enhance their value, At the
same time the Dads have been in the habit
OF selling their waiver to the indemnity
lands whenever a settler wants to settle on
them bad enough to do so. Besides these,
still other advantages were possible in de-
ferring the section OF ''icn' lands, as they
are cal He'd: in some cases rich lands have
been held out OF market for twenty-five
years under the claims OF railroads. Obvi-
pusly they had INCREASED a great deal il,
value: The decision made, will compel the
railroads to select their lien lands promptly,
and not allow them to wait and reject poor
grades OF land i'll their grants and select in
lieu OF it the best in the indemnity grants.
1t is not unlikely that this action on the
part OF the general land office will greatly
stimulate immigration another year.

The best safeguard against inquiry
however, will be exclusion from the
cistern of all but the late autumn and
winter rains, and to defer admission of
these until after rain has fallen steadily
at least an hour. In cities even longer
than this may be requisite to wash
thoroughly from the atmosphere all the
impurities suspended.
1T has been remarked that those
using pure rain water are generally ex-
empt from epidemic cholera. There is
scarcely . doubt that thus pestilence il
about to visit us again, and it is proba-
bic that our liability to it's attack will
be essentially modified by the water We

Col. King addressed the association re-
specting holding spring and summer meet
ings. He suggested that either a distinc-
tive meeting or joint or mixed meeting be
held. He stated in the interest of running
races that there are multitudes of thorough
bred horses owned in this section, and that
he believed some exciting races could be ar
ranged There are many colts which have
never started to be tried.
Mr. Pillsbury was of the opinion that
three consecutive and exclusive trotting days
would not prove success and advised mixed
races, and Mr.. Lovejoy was also Of the opin-
ion that prizes for trotting, pacing and run
ming races should be hung up.
L. A. Legg believed that running horses
from Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin and Min
nesota would enter. He advocated giving two
running races each day and to hold the meet
ing for three days.
Mr.. Pllsbury thought that two trotting
races each day would be sufficient, and Mr..
Lovejoy believed there should be two pacing

covered Ne,c Epidence to PROVE
Self Defens
John G. Woolley, attorney for Antony
Cantieny, convicted of .nanslaughter in the
second deg-ee for the killing of Officer
Laughlin, yesterday appeared before Judge
Koon and asked that new trial be granted
defendant, basing his motion upon the
claim that the verdict is not justified by the
evidence; that new and material evidence
has beeen obtained which could not be
gotten before; that errors were made in the
law, objected to at the trial by the defense.
THE NEW EVIDENCE
consists in the affidavit of Michael McAlpine,
saloonkeeper, at the corner OF Second
avenue and First street. who swears he sold
Laughlin two glasses of whisky on the night
of July 25, and that Laughlin was badly in
toxicated John Maher. special policeman,
swears that he heard the pistol shots and 60
ing to the Windsor house saw Laughlin,
whose face Was red, and had the appearan ce
of drunken man that he saw Laughlin in
bed at z a. IN. and smelled liquor; heard him
use profane and abusive language as
if still intoxicated. William Strathee.
who lived at 3O4 Washington avenue north,
deposes that he saw the policeman bolster
ously commanding three men to move along;
heard the latter say there was no need of
blowing whistles and making fuss, as they
were willing to go along peaceably-
L. A. Reed the attorney swears that he as
sisted in looking up evidence and that the
above testimony could not be obtained in
time for the trial.
The errors in law claimed to have been
committed consist of the admission of
Laughlin's ante-mortem statement and that
the venue was not definitely established.
Argument was waived on the motion until
Monday in order that counsel might have
time to cite authorities.

Yesterdays Criminal DoinqS in the MW-

1t was not a very productive day in the
municipal court from newsgatherer's stand
point. The criminal cases were generally of
a nonimportant nature.
John Kelly, Thomas Devine, John Condor,
James Hines and James Moore could not
produce the shekels to pay their fines for get
ting on DRINKS, so they are given quarters
for ten days in the county Jail. Edward
Dewy had been more than ordinarily drunk,
and his sentence was Tor fifteen days.
James Smith and Charles Peterson were
found guilty of improper disturbance of the
peace, and they We're each sent up for ten
DAYS.
"Happy Ar' seems to get into trouble
quite frequently. He must be either evlly
disposed or keeps bad company. Officer
Malone found him in the apartments &C.
cupied by Maud Jefferson, siren of dark
hue, under very compromising circumstan-
ces, and the court thought the fine of $40
quite lenient. In the case of Maud Jefer-
son, the colored woman, sentence was sus-
pended.
Axle Oman visited the Crocker rink and
exchanged his roller skates for pair of club
skates. He left the rink to visit another
without changing back, and he was arrested
on the charge of larceny. To this he en-
tered plea of not guilty, but the court evil
IDENTITY thought the excuses offered were of a
gauzy character, and placed the fine at
1898.
William Harris was up for rifing the pock-
cts of his roommate at the Economy hotel.
The amount alleged by the complaining wit
ness, Frank Burnett, was 81. The charge
made was larceny from dwelling, and the

ton was set for next Tuesday. In

The case OF State VS.. William Buckley, in
dicted for criminal libel, set for March 10,
came before Judge Koon Yesterday morning.
The alleged libel consisted in an attsek upon
c. S. Bartram, city editor of the Evening
Journal. Buckley publishes the Hotel Gazette.
and the two papers got into a jaugle, which
came to personalities.
Attorney Miller appeared for the defendant
and stated that the affair was q personal
Quarrel between two newspaper men, and
that be would not tax the time OF the court
and the exchecquer of the state by making q
fight over 4 case which should never have
been brought into the courts
County Attorney Davis aud eI-County At
tornev Woolley each concurred in this state
ment, aud bespoke for the defendant the
highest possible penalty.
Judge Koon asked If the defendant was in
court on his own recoguizance, and upon
being answered in the affirmative said: 4
haruly know how 70 decide between two
libels. You csu go for the present and
will send for you If want you"
The general impression is that the matter
viii be dropped. The affair, which is prscti-
cally ended, appeared to amuse all present
except the defendant, who seemed TO fear
that he might get 8 fve-minute sentence
which would 60 on record.
