The last Legislature passed a law Great
ing the counties of Seward, Stevens and
Morton out of the old county of Seward,
but by an oversight the bill was not signed
| by the President or Secretary of the Sem
ate nor by the Speaker or Chief Clerk of
the House, thus rendering the bill a multi
ty. The House journal of the day on which
the bill is supposed to have passed also
fails to indicate that any action was taken
with reference to it. On the suppo sition
that the counties had legal existence the
Governor appointed census takers, who
have reported a sufficient population, and
temporary county officers have been ap-
pointed and the temporary seat of the
county government indicated Colonel 5.

1t is Likely to BE Contested, as the Parties
Concerned are OuarreIing.
New YORK, Sept. 1S.-In spite of all
efforts to keep the troubles quiet it has be-
come almost certain that tie estate of the
late Samuel j. Tiden will not be settled
without an unpleasant contest. The arbi
trary action of Andrew Ii. Green, the chief
of the executors, in turning out of the
house at GrayStOne the sister and niece OF
Mr.. Tilden and closing up the mansion
there, followed by the taking possession
for himself of the town house at Gramercy
PARK, first called public attention to
the troubles among the neirS. Mr.. Green's
action as TO GreystOne is defended on the
ground that the Will is not prObated yet, and
there was no money available with which
to keep the house open. 1t is asserted,
however, that even were he unwilling 10 al
vance the money necessary for this purpose
the many cOurteSieS he had received at the
hands of the ladies of GreyStOne entitled
them to more considerable treatment than
they received. The manner of this ac-
ton more than the act Is criticized. AS to
Green's living at the town house, it is SAID
that it is only matter of convenience and
that all the bills for the house are paid by
himself. 1t is now announced as to the
prospect of q contest of the will, that negO-
tiatiOnS with his dissatisfied heirs are I'M
der way to bring about a quiet settlement
of the difficulty, but that they will probably
fail. That there is something of the sort
going OH is shown by the way in which the
probate of the will is being postponed from
week TO week.

Ofhcials Still in Doubt to the Final Dis
position of Geronimo.
WASHINGTON, Sept 1S-The detailed re-
port OF the surrender of Geronimo and his
companions has not yet reached the War
Department, and department officials are
still in dOdbt as to what the conditions of
surrender were. That there were condi-
tons or promises of some kind there is no
longer any reason to doubt, notwithstand-
ing that the first dispatch of General Miles
10 General Howard stated that Geronimo
had surrendered Internationally. The fact
that General Miles paid no attention to or
ders from the War Department leaves
strong Impression that he was
bound by a promise of some
kind to move the surrendered Apaches
from Arizona. He asked permission to
take them to Fort Bowie, FL PasO Tex, or
Florida He was ordered by the depart
ment however, to convey them to the
nearest post, whatever it might be, and
keep them under guard pending a decision
as TO their inal disposition. NOtwithstand-
ing this order lie started them on their way
to Florida and then so informed the depart
ment stating they could be stopped at San
Antonio. They were stopped at that place
and are there now, but in this way the sup
posed promise that they should be removed
from the clutches of the civil authorities of
Arizona was kept 1t has been supposed
that the trial by military commission of
the MOdOc Indians was a precedent for
similar trial of the Apaches, but there are
wide differences between he crimes of the
Apaches and that for which the Modocs
were punished. Military commissions from
the time of the Mexican war have been re-
garded as authorized tribunals in time of
war for the punishment of crimes which do
not Come within the jurisdiction of the
civil courts or of cOurt-martials. The
principal Otfenses for which the
MOdocS were tried by military
commission in July, 1913, was for the
treacherOus killing of the enemy during a
truce, and this was charged as murder in
violation of the laws of war;" Geronimo
and his companions have not been guilty of
such crime. 1t was held in 1875 that a
military commission could not be legally
convened for the trial of Indians for viola
ton of the laws of war, On account of
thefts, rObberies and murders committed
by them upon incursions made into Texas
where they were mere raiderS-unlike the
MOdOcs-with whose tribe as such the
United States was not engaged in war.

Peculiar Case on Trial in the Courts of

NEW YORK, Sept. 1S.-Alfred Hahn, an
insurance agent making $40 a week was
yesterday commanded TO pay SIS a week
for the support of a woman who says
she is his wife, but whom he swearS he
has never before seen. Cecilia Kohl, the
woman. declared that the defendant mar
ried her eighteen years ago in Bavaria and
produced fOurteen-year-Old boy as one
of the evidences of the union. Two
years ago she claims that the defend
and left her and that since that time she
has pursued his trail, finally catching up
with him one day this week on Canal
street. When she confronted him in court
she said that her husband had a scar on his
knee, which she described. The prisoner
was found to bear such scar. As to the
other marks of identification which she
gave the man Hahn was found to CORE
spOnd exactly. His hair, however, was
dark, while that of the missing husband
was light. Hahn's counsel pointed to the
days growth of beard on his chin and
showed that also was dark but the woman
said that her husband was very skillfuI in
dyeing hair and that this accounted for the
dark hair and even for the beard. This
afternoon a half dozen men and women
identified Hahn, some positively and others
partially. as the man whom they had known
as Mr.. Kohl. All of them when put into
a room with Hahn and number of other
men picked him out as the man.
