Its appetite overcame its discretion, and in
consequence it died from eating too freely
of the clover grass. Mr.. Hornady says he

him $500 to do SO. There is but one fairly

The Indian Police.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.-There has
been much complaint of late about unlaw-
full arrests by Indion police at various
reservations, especially at Pine Ridge,
Oak. Acting Attorney General jerks to-
day informed Secretary Lamar. in reply to
inquiry from him, that the Jurisdiction of
Indian police does not extend for any pur-
pose beyond the limits of the reservation
within which they are employed. The
defined duties of such police, as limited by
the law. is to maintain order and prohibit
the illegal traffic of liquor upon reserva-
tons. 1t would be doing violence to the
intent of the statute, as clearly expressed
by its language, to extend their power be-
yond the reservation. Their chief duty is
rather to prevent crime than to punish
criminals.

crossing small treStlework over a stream

train they became perfectly frantic, losing
all presence of mind, and turned and ran
back towards the train, thinking they
would get off the trestle and track before
the train would reach them, but the engine
was too close upon them to stop
the train, which ran over young lady by
the name Of Miss Allen, IS years of age,
crushing and mangling her in a horrible
manner, killing her instantly and severely

the track with Miss Allen, but. at this

whether her injuries are fatal or not A
sister Of Miss Flaven escaped unhurt by
jumping into the water below, distance
of about fourteen feet, but is, at

Misses Flaven and the dead body of Miss

also escaped with the exception of b. Uses

BASE BALL.

NOTES.
The batteries of the BOwdOin ball team
are in active practive, going out to the gym
nasium daily. Wilson, who entered last
term and played last season ON the Var
mouths, is developing finely, having greatly
improved since his last appearance on the
diamond, when he made such a favorable
impression with his puZzling curves. By
constant practice he now has complete con-
troll of the ball. the curves being great deal
more effective. He will prove puzzle for
his fellow c0llegians next season. Davis is
also showing Improvement and with these
two men the nine ought to 'get there"
Moulton and Russell, the catchers, are in
constant practice.
1t lis thought probable that John l.. Sulli-
van and Dominick McCatfrey contemplate
renouncing the breaking of heads to try their
skill at demOliShing base ball bats. McCaf-
frey aspires to be a pitcher and has begun to
practice under the coaching of pitchers Sailor
and Boyle. Sullivan has not begun training
and probably will not. He will never make
player of any account.
The old time ball player, George Wright,
had a narrow escape in the railway collision
at Wilmington last Friday. He was thrown
through a window into a snow bank some
distance from the track, but beyond being
frightened nearly to death, he was not in
jured.

Not So Valuable as Reported.

Concerning the valuable" Bar HarbOr
property the title of which has recently
been reported in doubt, the Mt. Desert Her
aid saws whatever may be the strength and
value of the alleged title to this tract, the
following are undoubtedly facts of interest:
1. The tract Of land thus claimed comprises the
rear. or landward, slope OF Green Mountain and
TERRITORY adjoining. 1t is mostly covered with
rocks and a second growth forest the yaluable
timber having been cut Uff many years ago and
not by the owners in possession.
2 The Eagle Lake House and the Green
Mountain Railway with its base station are the
only improvements or buildings standing on the
territory claimed. No ''princey mansions or
valuable cottages" being anywhere in the vicin-
ity, and the only ''water works" involved are a
part of Eagle Lake from which Bar Harbor draws
its supply.
8. Two thousand acres, comprising substantial
ly all the tract thus claimed was offered for sale
a few years ago at S3,5O0, and no purchasers were
to be found
4. The whole property, with clear title, not
counting the railway and hotel, would not be
worm over $4,000, in open market, to-day, ae-
eording to the estimate OF good judges

SUIT AGAINST THE CANADIAN PACIFIC.
The case of MacRae of Montreal against
the Canadian Pacific Railroad Company for
$167 900 was commenced in Montreal yester-
day. MacRae was one of the contractors of
the trestle work north of Lake Superior and
claims that by his contract he was entitled
but also for all the wood work upon which
these trestles were built and which has since
been removed. A large number of prominent
engineers from the United States and Cana

TEXAS LAND CERTIFICATES.
Worthless Papers Disposed OF to
Northern Spectators.

AUSTIN. Tex, Feb. 22.-The land agents
of this city have within the past few weeks
received food of inquiries from persons in
New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago,
and other points as to the status OF Iexas
land certificates. 1t appears that some par
ties are unloading Texas certificates, ana
have somehow created demand and found
purchasers. Some of the certificates are OUT
of date and worthless, and others are OF NJ
tie value, as there is now in sight no pubic
domain upon which to locate them. Texas
holders, unable to sell, have in many cases
Illegally located these certificates upon lands
specially set aside for school and university
purposes, or asylum lands or lands belong
ing to railway companies. This they have
done in the faint hope that at some future
time the Legislature will validate their To-
cations, especially those upon common school
lands. There is no public domain in Texas
any longer, and the holders of these certifi-
Gates (of which there are several thousand
outstanding are undoubtedly finding mar
ket for them among the moneyed people of
the East and North. These certificates all
bear date about 100 years back, and are very
scarce in Texas, because they have been
picked up and sent East for the benefit of the
unsuspecting land speculator of the North.
1t has been. repeatedly suggested by promi-
nent men in the State that Texas ought to
advertise the true condition of these old GER
tificates, and thus prevent thousands of peO-
pie being swindled, to the detriment of the
good name of the State.

painted dark drab, the second story yellow,
and the roof dark red. But few unacquaint-

men of the society are building the house,
and when finished it will cost $4,000. On
