"A decision made to-day at the interior

neglected to comply with certain technical
tiles and their title to two homestead pre-
emption claims in section "a, township 113,
range Is in the Huron, s. D., district, was
refused. They claim this is a denial
of their rights and appealed to the secretary
of the interior tor justice. He said to-day
that they have neglected to give his depart

would be ground for decision against
them. To avoid all possibility of doing

Hough Leslie Courtney, of the British
navy" whom many New York swells have
good cause to remember. Lord Courtney
made his first appearance as men,
Der of the aristocracy in Philadel-
phia several years ago. where the most
exclusive people could not do enough ior
him. He lived royalty, borrowed right and
lett and then disappeared. Soon alter he
fascinated Long Branch and Newport His
social triumph in Buffalo is sore point
here, too. Suddenly he disappeared and
later, under another name swindled Mon

last heard of Lord Courtney" was from
England, where he had been taken to be,
tried for forgery. Philadelphia detectives
WOODSTOCK, Ont, March 15.-Charles
Buck, who lives near Blenheim, visited the
Jail and positively identified Birchall as the
man whom he met near the scene of the
murder of Benwell, on Feb. 10, the day on
which the murder is supposed to have been
committed.
