A SHREWD EDITOR.
He Found a Way to Get Out OF n jail in

He Found Way to Get Out of Jail in
the West.
Unfortunately the names in this story have
to be suppressed, but the absolute correct
ness of the statements can be relied upon.
A Chicago man, who is engaged in several
things, holds a patent on system of jail
construction, which is now pretty generally
used. 1t is that arrangement in which
complete structure of boilor-iron is built
within the brick walls of the jail building
proper house within house. Another
Chicago man figures in the story. This lat
ter went West some years ago, and in
newspaper which he established he aSSailed
the Commissioners of the county in which
he was editor. intimating that they were fol
lowing in the footsteps of the old boOdler
crowd of Cook County. The honest granger
Commissioners did not like this intimation,
and the progressive young editor from Chi
cago was put behind the bars on the charge
of criminal libel. Is it any wonder that n
man bent upon reforming the officials of his
country, meeting with such reward. should
yearn for revenge? Now, he happened to
know that the identical Jail in which he
pinned had been erected on the PIN patented
by his Chicago friend. The Sheriff showed
up as a soft mark The young editor by
auizziDg him ascertained that the Commits
sioners had constructed the bastile on their
own account, and thai the pateut.e was re-
eeiving no royalty. The patentee was in
formed of the state of things, and in few
days the attorney of the patentee was on the
ground. The county officials were over
whemed with legal documents giving notice
of suits for Infringement of patent, non pay
ment of royalty and other uncomfortable
proceedings. The officials settled quickly.
The incarcerated editor was editing all the
time" and called attention again to the low
moral tone If the County Commissioners in
using patented articles without paying for
them. The libel suits were dismissed. The
officials didn't know. after this sort of sur
prise, what the editor would spring on them
next, and they let him go free.-ChicagO

LAND RULINGS.
The Acting Secretary of the Interior Renders
Several Decisions.

Several Decisions.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2-ln the contested
timber entry case of Andrew 3. Hughes
against William Griffin, the Acting Secre-
tary Of the Interior to-day rendered de-
cision affirming the judgment OF the COM
missioner of the General Land Office. The
land involved is in the Los Angeles Cali
District. Hughes contest was dismissed
by the local land officers and on
his appeal from that action, the Commits
siurer of the General Land Office remanded
the case. That a hearing might be regularly
had from that action remanding the case.
Hughes took an appeal TO the Secretary of
the Interior. The Secretary says that while
Hughes may believe he was badly
treated, and for that reason appealed
directly to the President for protection, yet
il is clear that no appeal lies from the Com
misSioneT's order directing the hearing to
proceed. The contest having been dis
missed without hearing, on account OF a
misunderstanding between the contestant
aud Register, the Commissioners order
gave the contestant an opportunity
t. establish the charges leveled at the
entry if he were able to do so. The Seere-
tary concludes that lie sees no ground for
complaint so far as the Commissioner
judgment is concerned.
The Acting Secretary modified the decision
Of the Commit soler in the case Of the
Silver King quartz mine. mineral entry,
wherein the Orc Grande Mining Company
appealed from the Commissioners ruling

ing of an application for patent

lished not ee is not as explicit in the matter
of description as the notice posted on the
claim, such defect is properly charEea6!e TO
the Register and may be cured by
reference TO the Board Of Equitable
Adjudicati n, and the entry IS therefore 50
referred. Tnp tract in controversy Is IN the
Los Angeles district.
In the case Of Cesar Starr, wherein appli-
cation was made for the delivery of fraud
ulent patent for land in the MarySyllie
(Cal.) District, it is shown that more than ten
years have elapsed since the patent was Is
sued for tile land upon an entry which the
Commissioner of the General Land Office
asserts was Illegal and fraudulent. Ii
such is fact, says the acting Secretary, the
patent should be cancelled and the land re-
stored to the public domain. The Commits
sioner is therefore directed to transmit to
in his possession, together with any
further evidence be may be able
to obtain through special agent and other
sources showing that said entry was based

tary says that Starr should be notlne d oil

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-The Senate Com
mittee on Private Land Claims, through Mr.

The bill to reimburse the grantees, their
legal representatives and the assigns Of the

deprived by an erroneous survey made
by the officers of the United States.
The grant was for SIX Spanish square

selected within certain specified boundaries.
The claim was presented TO the United States
General Land ONCE and confirmed February

prior grant had been mad known rs Guada-
lOupe Rancho, which was also confirmed in
due form. A pltent was issued to the
Guadalupe grant June 90, 1866, which
the owners refused to accept on the
ground that it did not contain all of the
land TO which they were entitled. A new
survey of the Guadalupe rancho in The
following February included 509993 aci es
mere than the first survey. This land was
taken from the Laguna survey land. The
Secretary of the Interior declined 10
accept this survey and the Guadalupe
owners brought suit against the LaguI
owners and recovered the disputed land. In
the meantime the Government had sold to
settlers nearly all oil the land within the eX-
terror limits OF the LaIuna grant and not In
clnded in the Laguna survey The matter has
been in controversy maUy years, the Laguna
people claiming they we're entitled II six
Spanish square leagues, and that they have
received 5099. SO acres less than that amount.
The committee recommends that after the
rights of the interested parties have been
determined by the Secretary OF the Interior
they be allowed 10 select lands in the STATE
Of California, not mineral aud not reserved.
in quantities equal to the amount of which
they were deprived by the erroneous survey.

California Pruuas in Eurnna.

NEW YORK, Sept 2.-Indcations that
this will be a great all-rouBd horticultural
year for California continue 10 oife. in this
and foreign markets. French prunes,
which could have been purchased at Bor-
deaux in April at q francs, opened last
week regularly at 40 francs. Now there
has been further advance in the Bordeaux
market Two offers of IL francs have been
refused. A private cabiegram says fruit
sod at ~ francs to 43 francs, and the
Bordeaux market is greatly excited. Mean
time, according to the Commercial Bulletin,
the course of the market for California
prunes indicates very clearly that many in
the trade believe consumers will take the
goods, regardless of the point TO which the
price may be forced. The crop has been
sold and resold, and at steadily advancing
prices, until to-day it is difficult to obtain
firm offers for additional quantities. and
this, too, in the face of the fact that the
crop has not commenced to move freely.
