RHINELAND, Wis, Dec. 23-i.very piece
of water reserve land is occupied by from
irving on every train. Many who made
filings at Wausatl, December 10Th, entered
upon their claims at once, but in nearly
every instance found them occupied. No
serious trouble is anticipated except in a
few instances, n few hot-headed settlers
having avowGd their intention to prevent
any one from entering or occupying the
claims they have taken and are fully pre-
pared to protect their supposed interests.
Apparently the most difficult question to
decide will be tho prior rights among
the settlers. Hundreds entered upon lands
within a minute after midnight, many on
the same site and all have their witnesses
to prove the fact.

Taking the Testimony of "a Dying MAN.
ADastardiy Conspiracy Revealed.
Macon, GA, Dec. 1S.--ln the United
States court yesterday, on the commences
ment of the ninth day of the conspiracy
trials the district attorney stated that
Lem Birch, one Of the principal wit
nesses, was probably dying, and moved
that the court change its plans of hold
ing to the boarding house where he
had been taken from Jail. About half
an hour afterward about 40 persons,
comprising the court and paraphernalia,
were in the bedroom Of the unfortunate
man, who was hardly able to breathe.
He made a full confession, implicat-
ing other prisoners in the conspiracy to
murder John Q. Forsythe. Six hundred
dollars was the sum promised $3.50 was
paid. Lowry did the killing and es-
capped. He is supposed to be the notori-
GUS Bob Brewer. Birch will probably
die. The defence deny the statements
Of Birch altogether and say it is con-
cocted entirely.

The new Methodist Protestant church at
Ruthsburg, near Gentrcville, Md, was
Dedicated on Sunday afternoon. The Rev.
DIR. John ]. Murray If st. Johns Church,
Baltimore, preached in the morning and
evening, and the Rev. DIR. Strayer, the
president of the Maryland Annual Confer
ence preached in the afternoon and CON
Quoted the dedcntory services after the
sermon. The church was filled to its ut
most capacity aud the representative men
Of the denomination throughout the
country were present, The congregation
begun worship ut Ruthsburg back in
the thirties in an old house that
was moved from the Pratt farm, now the
almshonse property, and had been one of
Mr.. Frattss quarters" In 1913 they built
Q church, which was dedicated that year,
llr. Switzerland taking prominent part
in the services. IN 1864 it was made 10
feet longer To meet the wants of grow
ing congregation The present church
was built through the efforts of the
Rev. Samuel j. Smith, the present
pastor, Every dollar of the cost was pro-
vided for before the dedicatory services
took place, $3.50 being raised ON Sunday.

with four stained-glass windows on each

THE $40. ooo TuNp Or 1s1s.
1t is Asserted That the Money Was Sub
scribed by Private individuals and Was
Not a Stnte AUGMENTATION.

II Is ftsStrEttA luit VIC money WAS SUM
scrbed by Private individuals and Was
Not STATE Appropriation.
In regard to the Washington dispatch
reporting that there is fund of $50, IN i'll
the United States treasury standing To the
credit Of Delaware on account Of advances
and expenditures in the war Of 1872, it has
been ascertained locally that the .ad-
vances" were not made by the State of
Delaware in its governmental status or by
an appropriation. The advances were
made directly by the subscription Of pri-
waite individuals whose patriotic syuipa-
thies prompted them to immediate
action. The inference is that If the money
be distributed the legal claimant will not
be the state treasury hut the heirs of the
various Delaware patriots of 1872 vino made
sacrifices at that time. 1t is believed that
among Wilmington families whose anccS-
tors, it is stated, formed the larger number
Of Delawareans who made the advances
there must exist although the date is so
long past, some record Ut the historic Incl
dent.
The GAzETrE's files do not 20 back
further than the tiitlG August 9Th S22,
tGdzGtte) but it is believed that copies of
the National Htcilig5ntr washington, ID.
Gu of that date may possibly afford nfor-
nation upon the matter Also records it
the State House library a Dover it is sug-
gested may develop information The
archives of the Historical -ueietv are very
probable sources Of aid in the historical im-
vestigations.

HELENA MoNT., Dee 23-The bodies Of
the four Indians hanged last Friday at
Missoula have been buried at St. Ipnatius'
Mission. The bodies were lowered into
graves in the presence of thousand In
dams. In the night the families and rela-
tiyes Of the dead man gathered and began
a weird ceremony after the style Of the old
Indian funeral rites. The Indian police
dispersed the crowd. The wives Of La
Laze and Pascale had cut gashcs in their
own heads, and We're preparing to cut off
the fingers of one hand when stopped.
The children of the dead Indians also
gnshed their hands and heads, and blood
was dripping into the graves, which had
been partially opened.
