TnE DISPUTED CANAL LANDS
WI he Sold by the Government Wed
tuesday, Unless ohio Proves Title.


WASHINGTON, d. c., December Is
The recent dispatches from Columbus
in relation 10 State Senator Shaw'S OPP
erati0nS in regard TO certain public
lands near ~. Mary'S, now containing
the reservoir, have already given all the
information necessary about their pro-
posed sale at public auction by the Gov
eminent. This sale will take place on
December 81, at the Land Office at
Washington. unless the State OF Ohio,
through the Canal Commissioners or the
Board of Public Works, can prove its
title. which is now claimed to be in the
United States and not in the state of
Ohio.
4 hearing on December 50 has been
asked by Mr. Hahn. of the board, and
certain papers said TO contain evidence
of the States ownership have been for
warded by him, but up 10 date these
papers have not been received. The
hearing requested will be granted by
the Land Commissioner on the date
mentioned, when, il the claim of the
State can beSuStained, the order for the
sale will be cancelled. 1t not, it will go
on. Briefly stated, the case is that
when the Miami and Erie canal was be-
ing built through that section of Ohio
the Government gave to the company
each alternate section of public land and
Then sold, rs il was supposed. all the re-
naming sections. Now il has been
found that any Of the sections was never
sold, although surveyed and afterwards
used as a reservoir.
All persons having presumption claims
have been asked TO prove their claims
aud settle up with Uncle sam before the
day of sale The section contains G9i
acres, and is near the town OF 81. MaryS.
II is in the oil and gas region, and very
valuable on that account. The record
/ in that land office shows that Mr.. Shaw
made application, on September 4, last,
/ to have Section :. Us, Is, offered at pub
| lie sale under Section 2,455 of the Re
viSed Statutes. which gives the Commits
Sionar OF the General Land OnicRau-
| thority 10 issue an order for that pur-
pose without proclamation by the Pres
| ident. The Commissioner entertained
/ Senator Shaw application and accepted
I ten dollars of deposit from him TO
I NNNfl NlftimlNNAs 'NiNhNNHf - a. 'NN
ve.tiSing, because no evidence OF any
disposition of the land described could
/ he found. aud the title, 80 far as the
| Land ONCE books indicated, was clear
I ~ in the United States.
The Gov, rnmcnt notified the Canal
| Commissioners, and gave them thirty
days to show why Section should not
be sold. Their reply was statement
insisting that the land belonged to the
State. The State Board Of Public
Works was also advised of the notice
and proposed offering, to which Mr..
Hahn replied. requesting 4 hearing ON
the 3Oth Of December. The Land Ohice
will afford the State every facility to
make good its claim up to the very last
moment, but the order for the sale has
not been reScinded nor suspended.

A Singular Character.

All over Texas Ben Thompson's note was
negotiable paper says writer in the St Paul
Pioneer Press, and no man who ever presented
him with a bill was treated with anything but
polite business courtesy.
| was introduced to Thompson at Austin
Tex, and the meeting was not in a saloon a
gambling house, nor even hotel The place
WAS WAS quiet, orderly ice'2ream parior, and Ben
Thompson and his wife were eating strawberry
cream at a table near by to coterie of high
school girls. one of them being a daughter of
ex-Gov. Ireland of Texas.
Thompson was a small sized man. vet not
slender He WAS elegantly, yet not SLOWLY
dressed; his clothes indicated a correct taste q
diamond stud and thread of gold wauch-chain
comprising all his personal iewelry. He was a
handsome man of 45, with small black mus
tache and hazel eyes.
Yet this man had a record of having killed
thirteen white men and twice that number Of
Mexicans and Indians few months later he
kingfisher, in hand to hand conflict with two
other men in the Vaudeville theater.
he was never known TO take an unfair ad-
vantage OF an enemy, a number of his victims
having had the first shot at him. Once in a
store he ordered q man with whom he was en-
gagged in lively dispute TO go outside and pass
around the block TO the right; he would pass
around to the left, and meet him. They did so !;
the man blazed away at Thompson with q shot
gun loaded with buckshot. missed, went into
the air at the crack of Ben's revolver and fell a
corpse.
And thus with every case of Thomson 3
numerous killings The preliminaries were al
ways favored with a dash of dramatic sensa-
tionalism.
AS Thompson and his wife passed out Of the
ice cream bazaar noticed that he had but one
arm The other had been shattered by a
Winchester ball in Denver when she threw it
across Ben's head upon discovering a crouching
form drawing a bead on him. AT the time OF
his death Thompson was city marshal of
Austin
