Militia With Bayonets Repulse
Crowds From the Land
Office.
Air Ship Inventors Buying
Aluminium Land Around
YanktOn.
The Wright House, Huron, S.
D., Completely Destroyed
by Fire.

WAUsAU, Wis, Dec. 20.-When the
United States land office was opened at
8 O'Clock this morning the court house
square was crowded with people, but
the local militia companies, drawn up
before the land office with fixed bayo-
nett protected the men in line in their
right to make the first filings. The
crowd feared the bayonets and no Or
ganized attempt was made, as had been
expected, to force an entrance and
crowd out the men who had been
camped out III line for two days or more.
The making of entries progressed rap
idly all day, and at 4 O'Clock this
afternoon when the Office closed, eighty
five had been made. There was still
a remnant of the original lines
waiting and these holding the places
expressed their determination to wait
till O'Clock Monday morning when
the offices will be opened for business
again. All the claims of any particular
value have already been entered. Peo-
pie are here from Nebraska and even
more distant states, led by false stories
of the fabulous value of the water re-
serve lands restored to the public do
main. The most valuable claim Of ali
has 100000 feet of standing pine upon
it. 1t was entered by Louis Gotch, the
first man in line, and resident of this
county. 1t is worth $4,000 to $4,000.
The militia patrolled the square last
night to keep order and no trouble is
now anticipated here. When attempts
are made to dispossess squatters from
some of the claims there may be shoot
ing.
EAU CLAIRE, Wis, Dec. 20.-At Eau
Claire there was almost a riot. The
windows of the land Office were smashed,
but the land officers succeeded in quelI-
ing the disturbance. The trouble was
caused by a policeman who was sta
toned at the wicket to preserve order
filing claim for him. His application
was refused. Miss Mamie Richardson,
daughter of Gen. Richardson, OF Chip
pewa Falls, fought heroically, and when
she reached the desk her hat was gone
and her hair disheveled; but she got
tract worth $1,000. Two men tainted
and were laid out en- the sidewalk.

HOTEL DESTROYED,
Loss of the Wright House, Huron,
S. D., by Fire.

IL,
S. d., by Fire.
Special to the Globe
HURON, S. D., Dec. 20.-The most de-
structive fire in the history of Huron
occurred to day by the burning of the
Wright house. three-story building,
75x90 feet. The origin of the fire is be-
lieved to be an explosion of a lamp in
room on the second floor. The build
ing was erected by NJ. F. Wright, now
living in Minneapolis, who a year ago
sold it to Flower & Pratt, of the
same city. 1t was one of the best
known hotels in the Northwest, and at
the time of the destruction was In
charge of V, FL. Summers, who owned
the furniture and lease. There is no
insurance on the furniture, which is
valued at $4,000, and only part of
which was saved. For some time the
whole north part of the town was in
danger, and a terrible cOnfagration
was only avoided by the heroic efforts
of the firemen, many of whom worked
till completely exhausted, and some
met with severe accidents by falling
boards, glass, etc. The Sioux Falls fire
department preferred assistance, but
was not needed. The following insur-
ance is on the building: Royal, of
Liverpool, S1,500; Hamburg, Bremen,
$3.50; London & Lancashire, $500; Aglo,
Nevada, 1925; Liberty, New York, 5000:
Germania, New York, $500; Mutual Fire
Chicago, $500. Total, So, 5,975. A number
of travelling men lost their samples and

Sensational Testimony Going in
Against Him.
DOVER, n. H., Dec. 20.-The first wit
ness in the Sawtelle murder trial this
morning was Inspector William II.
Cogan, of Boston. He testified to the
blood strins on the buggy, and to an ex-
animation of Isaac Sawtelle's clothing
and person after his arrest. He found
blood on his necktie and asked
the prisoner to account for it,
but the latter said nothing; witness
also found blood on Isaac's underclOth-
ing. on his coat and vest, and in one of
the trousers pockets. On the prison
er's thumb was streak of blood, which
Isaac declared was not blood, saying to
witness:
'This happened eight days ago.
Don't you suppose Pve washed my
hands since?"
Inspector Cogan's cross-examination
strengthened his direct testimony.
Police Capt. Martin l.. White. of Bos-
ton, corroborated Cogan's testimony.
John w. Clarke testified that he saw
Isaac with his team and a new shovel
in the carriage going toward Rochester.
Isaac took Clark into the team, told him
his name and said he had been to the
Glendon house to see if his brother had
registered there, saying that he had not
seen him since the previous WedneS-
day. Isaac also said that there were
family troubles and that he was afraid
something had happened to Hiram, who
had agreed to meet him in Rochester.

ard M. Muchler, the business manager
of the Public Ledger. called upon Reg
lister of Wills Gratz to-day. and handed
over to him two letters which had been
forwarded to George ". Childs.
Both letters were peculiarly con-
structed, the message being made up
entirely of letters of the alphabet, cut
from different newspapers and put to-
gether to form word, without regard
to the size or character of the type used.
The first message said:
'On closing our estate there was and is
now doubt about the amount due the state
for collateral inheritance tax. Sl.059,64 but
to be sure. l wish to pay it. Will you give
this prompt attention? Acknowledge re-
ceipt in personal notice in Public Ledger
Sooner or later conscience will waken, Please

Tuesday afternoon a second letter was
received, reading:
Il am anxious to hear whether you re-
ceived the money, Sl,05964, delivered by
messenger Friday, with note requesting you
to pay the money to the proper officer.
B. JUST"
The register was surprised at the rev
elation, and, after recording the money
from the unknown conscience-Stricken
person, gave Col. Muchler a receipt,
crediting the money to the conscience
fund, through g. W. Childs, to the col
lateral inheritance tax.

Texas People Lay Claim to the
Windy City.

Texas People Lay Claim to the
Windy City.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Dec. 2O.-A very
Important legal case has come to light
in this city in which the right and title
to large portion of the city of CHI
cago in the vicinity of Hennepin park is
questioned and claimed by heirs inTexas
Robert l.. Summerlin. an attorney in
tnis city, has worked up the case and
has fixed upon the heirs to the property
as follows: Bruno and Horatio burst,
of Leon county; John burst, of Tyler:
j. w. Blake and Hattie Moss, of Lime
stone county; John D. burst, of Kim
ball county; Simon and Ella Bateman,
of Leon county; j. A. and Louis Hod-
kins, of Dalla county, and James |. Iron.
The history dates back to the time
when the POttawattamie Indians owned
the present site of Chicago. A Col.
Holiday, stationed at Fort Dearborn,
married an old chiefs daughter who
was possessed of much of this land.
This Indian wife survived long enough
to Will the property to granddaughter,
wife of Col. n. GuiSette, prominent
bad&er of Corpus Christi. This heir
died in 1864 without issue. This prop
erty had been in the hands of attorneys.
who, during the late war. tangled the
claim of titles and sold the property for
taxes. Recently, however, Attorney
Summerlin learned of another branch
of the family and has located the heirs
as above. The chain of evidence is per-
feet and slready attorneys in Chicago
who are willing to compromise literally
for clients. Mr.. Summerlin is armed
with full powers of attorney from every
heir. and he will leave Dec 25 for Chi
cago to push the claims of his clients.
This property is very valuable, and will
approach nearly s20,OO0,0OO. The story
is quite romantic in its details, and it
has taken more than a years work to
| complete the chain of evidence.

giving them the facts in detail, with
holding nothing. This the general did
that he might note the effect of the
startling information upon them. The
Indians received the news quietly.
They all recognized the justice of Sit

thing that he had thus met his fate.
Concerning the death of Sitting Bull,
Col. Corbin said:
''It was not murder or anything like
it. Gen. Miles dispatch some days ago
showed conclusiveley that he had
ordered the arrest of Sitting Bull just
in the nick OF time. Another hour and
he would have decamped to the Bad
Lands with his hostile followers. His

CHAMPION NI'LEAN.
Rapid Rise of Hanlan's Australian
Protege.

EOGtSCs
Oarsman John Mclean, who defeated
Peter Kemp on the Paramatta river
Monday for the championship of the
world, has risen to the top so rapidly
that he is now regarded as the peer of
sll scullers. A few years ago he was a
remote skiff-rower, of whom nothing
was known. When Hanlan was in
Australia trying to regain lost honors
he was visited one day by brawny fell
low who said he could row skif, but
was anxious to try a racing shell. Han
Ian rigged him up, and the trial aston
ished the American, who. taking kindly
to his prOtege, developed the Aus
tralisn's speed until he had the
satisfaction of seeing his man
John McLean-win a splendid race
from G. }. Perkins, ,eX-champion of Eng
land. After Hanlan's departure Nc
Lean acquired fame with rush until
one month ago, when he reached the
pinnacle of renown in Australia by
beating Stansbury. who had won the
worlds championship from William
Lean did not then win the title, how
ever, as the championship was not
part of the agreement. Mclean is
thirty-one years old, is half an inch
over six feet in hight, has chest
measurement of forty-two inches, and
his rowing weight is 1874 povnds. His
maiden race was in March, 1888, as an
amateur, and he was not beaten until
November. After becoming a profess
sional he successfully met nearly all of
Australian oarsmen in skiff races, eX-
periencing but one defeat in
year and half. He again began
a victorious career, which was not
checked until the spring of 1888, when
he lost two skitf races. On Jan. so and
Sept % of that year he defeated Nc
Kinnon in matches, and also competed
successfully in four out of five double
sculliDg events. On Jan. 5. 1889, Nc
Lean defeated ex- x-Champion of England
Perkins in wager boats for $3.50. Then
he defeated Chris Nielsen for $4,000.
and G. Stephenson, champion of New
Zealand, for 81, ZOO, and in March of this
year easily disposed of Neil Matterson,
over the Paramatta course. On Nov. II
he won his great race from Champion
Stansbury, and OH Monday defeated
Kemp and gained the title Of worlds
champion. Mclean is expected to visit
this country next summer.
