"The charges are false from beginning
to end. Legate is now the strongest
witness against my accusers,
and have had no communities
ton with him, or any enc
else, about the matter. The Associated
Press dispatches of the past few days
should be sufficient proof to any o he
that the charges are false. Legate ad-
mits that the letter, or part of it, is 8

NOPE LAND FOR SETTLERS.
A Decision by Secretary Lamar Opens
Up &2O,0OO, 900 Worth of Land.

WASHINGTON CITY, Sept S.-Secretary
Lamar has rendered decision in regard to
the Ontonagon land grant which is calcu-
lated to make a commotion among a num-
ber of prominent capitalists of the west
For several years efforts have been made in
one guise and another to get a con-
irmation by act of congress for the
title to a large amount of lands i'll
northern Michigan. This land was
withdrawn from sale because it was granted
to the Ontonagon g. Brute River railroad.
In spite OF repeated directions from the gen.
eral land office the land agents at the Mar
quette land office sold these lands right
along to lumbermen at 81. 25 per acre.
For years these purchasers have paid
taxes on these lands Settlers who could
defy the purchasers went and built houses
and cleared farms on the tract trusting to
time 10 give them title The lum-
bermen claim they bought in good
faith and should be given patents.
The last bill before congress proposed tD
confirm titles only where there was no coun-
terclaim by settlers. The property is worth
from SIC, ,000, 900 to $20, 900, 900 and covers a
number Of mines and several fine, growing
villages. The question of title was argued
recently by ex-senator Mcdonald for the
settlers, and Assistant Secretary jerks
wrote the decision which Secretary Lamar
has, after careful consideration, approved
1t slnply upset, the cash-entry men and
throws into the public domain the greater
portion of the land in question
