Tho settlers WIN Give Up.

The Settlers Will Give Cp. :
Tho long standing litigation over the
tract known az the Des Moines river lands
promises to end by the settlers giving up
the fight and purchasing titles to their
farms from the assignees of the Des
Moines Navigation aud Railway company.
A few days since b. E. Boynton, OF Ham
ilton county, president of the Settlers
Union, gave up and purchased the title to
his farm from the heirs of s. G. Walcott,
of Utica, N. Y. Mr.. Boynton has for
years been active in fighting the land COM
pany. As soon rs he gave up Messrs.
Grossenerburgh, BREMEN. Frye and Inter-
puted lands, followed suit and purchased
the titles to the lands. Others will soon
do the same. The fact that writs Of eject
ment have been issued for a number Of
prominent members of the Settlers union
has probably hastened these settlements,
although some time ago when a United
States marshal attempted to serve a writ
on one of them he was fired upon aud
driven from the premises. The lands over
which this controversy has been gong on
for years comprise the alternate sections
Wlthln I'VE miles OF the DeS MONIES river,
from the Raccoon fork to its source. In
1886 the grant of certain lands was made
by congress to Iowa for the improvement
of the navigation of the Des Moipes river
from its mouth to the Ruccoon forks. In
1S49 the secretary of the treasury ruled
that the grant not only extended to the
Raccoon forks but to the source of the Des
Moines river. In 1854 the state contracted
with the Des Moines Navigation and Rail-
way company to improve the river us re-
quired, and in 1858 a large amount Of
land, including that in dispute, was con-
yeyed to the company. In ls59the United
States supreme court held that the grant
did not include the land north of Raccoon
forks and a few years later the lands were
declared open for entry, but they were
withdrawn again before final proofs could
be made by homesteaders. lii 1862 con
gress extended the grant SO as to cover the
land in dispute, but it was alleged that the
navigation company having failed to fulfill
its part of the contract had forfeited the
lands to the state, aud tho last general as
sembly passed an act reconveying to the
United States oil right of the state in these
lands.

pied in "A Housr OF

William Skies, a young stonecutter, and
and q companion named Hines called at
Lille Goodrich's house of ill fame ON First
street south, Minneapolis. Skies retired
with one of the inmates. but had
been gone but a few minutes when
the girl rushed out of the room in great
alarm saying that her companion was
dead. Medical aid was summoned imme-
diately, but too late to be of any avail. It
seems that the man fell in a dead faint al
most upon entering the room and never
revived, dying within 10minutes.
He is said to have been u very steady
young man except for q peculiar drink
habit which came upon him only at long
intervals. His father, it is said, had the
same habit. and died precisely in the same
way. His mother is still living in Eng.
land and belongs to a respectable family.
He was unmarried. but was betrothed to o
young lady in Cleveland. The young
man Hines, it is said, accompanied Skies to
keep him from drinking, and is nearly dis
tracted at the tragic end Of affairs.

A frightful accident occurred at the site
of the Guaranty Loan and Trust building,
on the corner of Third street and Second
avenue south, Minneapolis, killing Thomas
NJ. Humphrey. q laborer, instantly. A
crew of men were engaged in setting the
huge tlagstone block over the area beneath
the sidewalk. Humphrey was in this area,
which is fourteen feet deep. ut the time.
The flagstone had no sooner been placed
in position than it parted in the center and
plunged into the area crushing it's human
victim beneath its monstrous weight. The
huge rock fell squarely upon Humphreys
head, grinding his skull into q shapeless
mass. The Mortified laborers remoyedthe
prodigious weight from the dead man as
soon as possible. The remains were
placed in a casket and taken to Connolly's
morgue at the stance Of Coroner Hill, by
a detachment Of police. The dead man
was the sole support of a mother and two
sisters.

THE TERRITORY.
Farmer Dalry,nplc's Views.

Farmer Dalryinplc's Views.
Oliver Dalrymple, Of the world-famed
Dalrymple farm, and accounted one of the
shrewdest men engaged in farming, gives
it as his opinion that there will be a still
further advance in the price of wheat dur
ing the winter, but he does not anticipate
much advance until after the wheat has
passed out of the hands of the farmers in
to the elevators. 1t is believed by many
farmers who are holding back their wheat
for higher prices that, Notwithstanding
the light crop, it will bring as much money
into circulation as last year, hut Mr.. Dali
rvmple does not share that opinion. The
amount of wheat they will be able to hold
back. he thinks, has been overestimated.
The crop is unquestionably very light, and
most of the wheat of inferior quality,
there being quite as much rejected this
year as of No. 2 last year. The farmers
will have any considerable quantity of
wheat left after they IRE paid. The en-
couraging feature of the situation is that
tho present high prices are likely to con-
tinue for two or three years longer. and
with moderately good crops we shall be
able to realize handsome profits that will
enable the farmers to pay OFF their debts.
The effects of this will, Of course, be felt
in all lines of business.

force. Hundreds Of ions of earth came
down in the fail. burying the man ten feet
deep. The horses attached to the dead
mans wagon jumped in time to clear
themselves from the wagon, and escaped
uninjured, but a pair of horses attached to
