Mora Land

Some time ego the interior department
decided that no land grant road should be
considered to have earned its grants until
1t had filed a perfected plan OF 1t. entire
road, and of the granted land claimed.
Proceeding from this decision as basis IL
IL suggested that suit may lie against
the Northern Pacific road, In which the
government will maintain that IL Is not
entitled to any of the land which IL claims,
for instance, in the grant from Duluth to
Puget Sound, because these lands were
not earned. and the perfected plat for that
part of the route was not fled within the
time prescribed. It is hoped by this course
OF procedure to secure the forfeiture OF
unearned land grants by departmental In
stead OF congressional action.

Mangus, who was captured by Capt.

Apache, states that be believes we have all

A Great Victory
A Terrible Case Of Scrofula
Cured by
Hoods SarsaparilIa

"In the winter OF 1879 I was attacked with
Scrofula in one OF the most aggravating forms.
At one time had no less than thirteen large
assesses over and around my neck and throat,
continually eIuding an offensive mass OF
bloody matter disgusting to behold, and
almost intolerable to endure. 1t Is impossible
TO fully describe my sufferings, as the case
was complicated with Chronic Catarrh. After
three years Of misery, having been treated BY
three physicians, was worse than ever.
Finally, on the Recommendation OF w. j.
Huntley, druggist, Of Lockport, was induced
to try Hoods Sarsaparilla. And now, after
having taken twelve bottles, within the last
twelve months, the scrofulous eruptions have
entirely ceased, and the assesses have all
disappeared, except the unsightly scars, which
are daily becoming smaller by degrees, and
beautifully less.' ! do not know what IL may
have done for others, but i do know that In
my case, Hoods SaIsaparilla has proved an

Not GuiIty.-The case of the State

Not Guilty.-The case Of the State
against Il. C.. Getzandanner, indicted
by the grand jury at the February term
of the Circuit Court Of Jefferson county
for obtaining money from the Jefferson
Insurance Company, Of Wheeling, W.
Va, under false pretenses, came up for
trial on Monday, May 3lst. The entire
day was occupied in taking testimony
of witnesses. On Tuesday morning at
10 O'Clock the hearing of evidence was
completed, and the case given to the
jury, who found verdict Of acquittal
without leaving the box. The State
rested its case principally upon the tes-
timony of C. C. Seibert, who was, at
the time of adjustment with the insur-
ance company, employed by the hard
ware firm of Getzendanner and Baker,
of which the accused was member.
The fire for which this recovery of loss
was obtained, occurred in Charlestown
in June, 1884, and on the statement Of
Seibert to the insurance company's ad-
justers the proof of loss was made out
and the claim paid. Near by two years
afterward, Seibert went before the
grand jury and swore that Getzendan-
ner had told him to make false state
ments, and on this oath the grand jury
found an indictment. Seibert's testi-
mony before the grand jury was
proved, on the trial, by the books and
bulls of the firm, to be utterly false, and
the proof of loss correct. The Prose-
cutting Attorney had no hopes for the
case from the outset, bat worked hard
for the State and made every effort to
build up u good case. At the close Of
the testimony he arose and stated to
the jury that he had no hope for the
case and had virtually abandoned it.
The defense made no argument, being
confident of a verdict of acquittal.
After the verdict was rendered, the
Judge warmly sanctioned the action OF
the Prosecuting Attorney, and gave his
hearty approval of the verdict of the
Jury. The case attracted much atten-
ton, and the courthouse was crowded
during the trial. There was nothing
in the testimony, viewed as a whole, to
impeach the veracity, integrity, or bus
mess standing of Mr.. Getzendanner,
and the community ut large warmly
approves the verdict.

al Wright's speech was made long ago

ton, on the Washington county branch

senger train which left HagerstOwn at

failed to get out OF tie way of the train
i'm time to escape being struck by the
engine. Serious injuries were inflicted
and death resulted in about an hour.
