The LUCINDA G. POTTER CAPSIzES
CAPTAIN Evans and Two Sailors
Cling to the Ships
House.
The Men Exposed to a Furious
Snow Storm for Ten
Hours.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 30.--A terrible
story OF suffering is told by the sole sur
vivor Of crew of eight men of the
schooner LUCINDA G. Potter" bound
from Boston to Norfolk, which capsized
Sunday off Barnegat. Five men were
probably drowned at once, three were
able to gain Judgement on a portion of the
vessels house, but two of them died from
exposure. The sole survivor was picked
up by men from the schooner "a. d.
Lamson" and brought to this port today.
Captain Smith of the Lamson says that
about 8 o'clock Sunday night, when about
so miles off the tye-fathom bank light
ship he heard sounds like calls for help,
but owing to the fury Of the wind he
could not be certain. He finally deter
mined to launch boat, of which Mate
Smith, his son, took charge, and after
some wearisome rowing came within
sight of a vessel, which proved to be the
Potter. Pulling closer they found them
selves alongside the upper portion of the
vessels house, on which were three men,
Captain Evans and two of his sail
ors. One of the men was dead
and the other two were scarce
ly more than alive. They
were taken into the life boat as quickly
as possible. The united efforts OF the
rescuing party being required to Olsen
gage the Captain from the raft. His
hands and body were so benumbed by
cold and exposure it was extremely diff
cult to loosen his clutch. Everything
possible was done for the comfort Of the
suffering men, but half-hour after ar
irving on board Captain Evans died, The
other man whose name is Charles Wal
lenberger soon got over the worst effects
of his terrible experience. The men were
on the raft for nearly ten hours, With sens
dashing over them and cold biting winds
piercing to their very vitais. The Potter
had sprung aleak and become Haterrlogr

creased rapidly sinking her deeper and
deeper into the water. About noon OF
Sunday she suddenly turned and mo
ment later floated bottom up. Only tht
three men mentioned succeeded in gain
ing place of temporary safety on top of
the vessels house. Others were not seen
again Wallenberger said to reporter:
"a furious snow storm prevailed all dur
ing the ten hours we clung to our frail
raft, We all shouted as long aud loud as
we could, but the captain became ex-
hausted and the death of the other man
left only myself to signal for help CON
tinued calling without much hope of at
tracing attention and when answering
shouts came out of the darkness and u

AN INTER ESTING CASE,
Decision of the C0iDmi issioner of the Gen.
eraI Land Office Concerning
School Lands,

School Lands.
Commissioner Croft of the general land
office has recently promulgated through
the Miles City land office ruling in re.
gard to the school lands of the state that
is of much importance.
In 1878 james Sterns of Junction City
made settlement upon a tact of unsUr-
veyed land and continued to reside upon
and cultivate the land thereafter. 1t was
not until 1886 that the tract was surveyed
and it was then found that Mr.. Sterns'
claim was on Sec. 36, school section. In
June, 1889, he made "a homestead entry
on the tract in question and IN due time
proved up. Then came the attorney gen
eral of the state of Montana with a pro-
test against the issuance of a patent to
Sterns on the ground that the land In
question belonged to the state under the
grant contained in the omnibus bill, APP
proved Feb. 20, 1889.
Commissioner Croft, in making the
ruling, refers to the early settlement
and continuous residence of Mr.. Sterns
on the tract and the fact that he entered
the same as homestead in June, 1889.
"before the admission of Montana into
the Union, and of course prior to the date
when the grant of the school lands TO
the state took effect" The commissioner
therefore holds that the claimant is Ell
titled to his patent and that the protest
OF the state is of no avail.
The semi-weekly tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1890-1891, 1891-01-03

In this connection we might say there
are few cases in this vicinity involving
title to school lands. They are entirely
different from the above case, however,
lnasmuch as the land is claimed as stone
placers, under the law on that subject.
Attorney General Haskell and Secretary
of State Rotwitt are now in the city to ex
anime these lands and the attorney gen
eral VIII contest the right of the claimants
to secure title to the same. They made
hasty examination of section 16 yesterday.

Tommy Miller of indianapolis is Defeated

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 3J.-A fight be-
tween Tommy Warren, the champion
featherweight, and Tommy Miller, Of
this city, which was arranged at Miller's
request to give him another chance to de-
feat the little Californian, occurred to-
night. Miller was not in it. He claimed
that at New Orleans six weeks ago,
he was sick and fought un
der protest, and it was this ad-
vantage that defeated him. This he can
not claim as the cagao Of his defeat to-
night, as he was in as good condition rs
tiummy will ever be in his life. Warren
finished Miller i'll three rounds. The In
diAnapolis boy showed little sand in the
first round, and got IN few good blows,
but III .he 5ucCn round Waran's IL 9 .ess-

down twice and punished him badly.

WASHINGTON, D. g., Dec. 81. General
Schotield this afternoon received dis
patch from Gen. Miles dated Hrrmost,
S. D. Dec. 30, as follows:
",ten. Brooke telegraphs as follows:
Col. Forsytbe says sixty dead Indian meh
were counted on the plain where the at
tempt was made to disarm Big Foot's
band, and where the fight begun. On
other parts of the ground there were
eighteen more. These do not include
those killed IN the ravines where dead
warriors were seen, but not counted.
Six we're brought in badly wounded and
six others were with party .of twenty
three men and Noinun which Capt. jack
son had to abandon when attacked by
about $50 Erule Indians from the agency.
This accounts for niuety-two men killed
and leaves but few alive unhurt. The
women and children broke for the hills
when the fight commenced, and compar-
atively few Of them were hurt and few
brought in. Thirty nine are here, Of
which number 21 are wounded. Had
it not been for the attack by the Brules
an accurate account would have been
made, but the ravnes we're not searched
afterwards. think this shows veiy lit

Senator l.. r. Bolter of Logan,
Iowa, says:
81 regard the letter of ex-President
Cleveland on the silver question as
an untimely and unfortunate epistle.
Its trend is Republican rather than
Democratic. Should the principle
therein outlined be Incorporated in
our next national platform it would
lose US every Western State and en-
danger several of the southern, inclu-
ding the two Virginias, North Caro-
lima, Louisiana, Missouri and Arkan-
sas. Even should we succeed on such
an issue a panic would follow that
would not only bankrupt the West
but the Democratic party as well; in
fact we would have no Democratic
party in any of the great agricultural
States which are at this time nearly
if not quite debtor States. The issue
rendered by the letter is not in &C
cord with Democratic principles nor
with democratic precedents. The let
ter can only be construed to mean
either limited or an absolute inhib.
ition of silver coinage.
This letter places Mr..
Cleveland in direct opposition to
each and every Democratic member
Of the United States Senate and in
opposition to the well recognized
Democratic doctrine on the monetary
question. The debtor class will new
er support Mr.. Cleveland ON that is
sue, and long Republican rule has
made very large majority of our
people debtors, and many of them
beggars. The letter possesses but a
single merit, that Of courage. A Wall
street candidate cannot be
elected, and certainly should not be
nominated by the Democracy and !

have been caused by an over
production of the good things Of life,
such as hay, corn, oats, wheat, all
kinds of fruits, horses, hogs cattle,
