Plumb Does Not Aid Washington Settlers,

-
WASHINGTON CITY. Sept. Ex-senator
Plumb today reported an indefinite post
ponement of bill introduced some time
ago by Senator Mitchell, designed to pro-
tect the settlers on triangular section of
land in Washington, embracing $1,000
acres, and now valuable for agricultural
purposes. The question as to the validity
of the title arises from the fact that the
terminal line of the Northern Pacific grant
was changed from its first location. The
settlers purchased from the company,
supposing the land was part of the
grant. and afterward the agent of
company was recognized by the
evernment. The secretary of the interior
believes the rights of the settlers were
amply protected by the existing legislation.
To avoid any possible injustice to settlers,
provision allowing them to perfect title
was added to the land grant forfeiture bill,
that the bill reported today was unneces-
sary.

The following was read and adopted
,,,.,,,,y. The members of this church and

The Nicely Brothers Striving to Escape the
GalIows.
Harrisburg Patriot, March f9th
There was an interesting case before the
State Board of Pardons at the meeting or
the Board yesterday. l. was that of the
Nicely brothers, Joseph and David, of
Somerset county, who have been SEN
fenced to death for numbering Herman
Umberger about year ago and robbing
him of $4,000. When the case was
called counsel for the applicants for a
pardon, Generals A. II. Cofrroth and
William II. Koontz, of Somerset, and
Lyman d. Gilbert, of this city, asked that
it be continued for the reason that they
desired some time TO secure evidence
which would contradict some of the essen
tal testimony given by important wit
nesses for the commonwealth. They
further asked that one of the rules of the
Pardon Board be modified so that they
would have power to take dcpositions
outside the county of Somerset. The Board
decided to grant the request of the
counsel for the condemned men and the
case will be heard at the next meeting.
One of the jurors who convicted the muir
derers, j. w. Beck, has written letter to
General Koontz TO the effect that in his
opinion the evidence was not sufficient to
justify conviction, aud that he was the
only Juror vino held out for a different
verdict, The commonwealth was repre-
sented by John Cessna and F. J. K00ser,
of Somerset. The aged parents of the
