The people on Deer Greek have been
somewhat excited Of late about wild
animal which has been committing
depredations there. Saturday morn
ing last, Mr.. Abe Null saw what he
supposed to be the animal and straight
way the Captain mounted his best
blooded horse and with his staff OH.
Ger, Mr.. James Mcclellan, started In
hot pursuit after it. By the assistance
of Lieutenant Gillispie, mounted on
his cream colored Arabian, they
soon succeeded in organizing a COM
pany of brave young men, armed with
all sorts of implements of warfare.
The captain had some trouble in keep
ing his men in regular line of battle, as
they were all anxious to get shot and
wear the crown of honor home. By
fine military skill and forced marching
through the sloughs, for about two
miles: they finally came in contact
with the ferocious beast, in Mr.. Nc
Carley's field. 1t proved to be McCar-
ley's old stump tailed dog.

APPEAL TO CONGRESS.

There is probably not citizen of
the county, certainly not a reader of
the REGISTER, who does not fully re-
alize the incalculable injury that the
dispute over land titles is infiicting
upon our county, and who does not
recognize that the settlement of this
dispute at the earliest possible date is
of the utmost importance. The ques-
ton is, How is it to be done? 1t
would seem that the most natural way
would be to submit it to the courts .
But that has been done, and after
years of litigation the end seems but
little nearer. For one, we confess We
are discouraged. Whether the trouble
is with the attorneys, or the courts, or
with the laws themselves we do not
pretend to say. Sut when a man who
has bought land and paid for 1t, is I'M
able after ten years of litigation to get
possession of it as against a trespasser
without even the color of title, one is
forced to the conclusion that q remedy
must be sought elsewhere. In our
opinion that remedy lies in an appeal
to congress. This whole dispute can
be settled at once and settled forever
by simple act of congress. And the
purpose of this article is to suggest to
the people OF Allen county that they
send some man to Washington to work
for the passage Of such a bill. 1t is
yet many months before congress ad-
journs, and we have little doubt that
an. energetic man, one who is thor
oughly posted on the feeling of the
people here and on the status of these
lands, could succeed in getting the
necessary bill passed. The expenses
need mot be great, and the county
could very well afford to pay them out
of its treasury, for it is a matter in
which the whole county is interested.
If the county commissioners should not
feel themselves justified in making the
necessary order, we believe the money
could still be raised by individual sub
scriptions. It seems to us that the ex-
pertinent is at least worth trying, and
we wonld be glad to have some of the
opinions and suggestions of any one
interested in the matter.

OUR LEGlsLAToR's LETTER.

When this letter reaches your reader:
the work of this legislature will have
been completed, think, and the record
will show that more work has been
done in y given time than was ever
done by any legislative assembly in
the state. As to the quality of the
work, the people must be the judges.
One thing, it does seem to me that the
work done now will greatly relieve the
legislature that shall meet next winter.
The extraordinary floods the past year
over the state, washing out and de-
stroying bridges, has made demand
In q great many localities for some
special legislation TO enable them to re-
place those bridges.
AS 1 write the main question for
which the legislature was called to-

TO THE LEAGUE,

Officers and members of the s. P. A.,
Stand up! You say you are anxious to
have this question settled; that you
want the law to take its course and
that You are perfectly willing to abide
by its decision. Very well. Mr.. Boo
ken submitted his case to the law. The
law decided in his favor. The man
who occupied his land-Mr. Willough-
by-was dispossessed 10y the la,c mind
you) and Mr.. Boeken was put in pos
session. In short time Willoughby,
taking advantage of Boeken's temper
ary absence, gathers some of his friends
together, and, loaded down with arms,
forcibly enters the house from which
he was elected by loao. and bars the
door. When the rightful owners come,
he begins an attack on them which on
~ missed being fatal by the narrowest
margin. You know all this to be true,
and yet you say nothing. How do you
justify this silence? fyou are so anx.
AOoS SAAa1 ShO Ad" SAOulu Oc OUcy6us
why don't you stand forth and de-
nounce the men who detied the law?
Why don't You tell the people that the
League condemns the action of these
men and will do its best to bring them
tojustice? Don't you know that by
this silence your whole organization
condemns itself in the eyes of all hon.
est men, as an organization that is will
ling to help one man rob another of
his home: You say you respect the
decisions of the courts. How do you
show this respect when you have no
word of rebuks for the men who set
those decisions at defiance? If YOU
have any answers to these questions,
the REGISTER will be glad to publish
them. Ifyou have not, do not longer
expect to command the respect or SYM
pathy of honest and law loving citizens.
