One Hundred Contests.

ASHLAND, Dec. 2l.-The hearing of
the contests over the Omaha lands has
commenced. There are between 80
and 100 contests to be heard and it is
expected that they will not all be
finished until the middle of next year.
There are three contestants an aver
age to each case and OIL a few there
twelve applications. Most of the ap-
plicants have made affidavit Of settle
ment and no entries have beeen made.
The person winning in each contest
will have his application entered while
the others will be rejected. In hearing
the contests each. contestant VIII pre-
sent his testimony relative to the case
and the officials here will decide which
man has the best right to the claim.
In coming to poper decision,
several points will be taken into con-
sideration-which one settled upon
the land first, which one made the
most improvements, and which one
acted in the best faith. Of these
three points settlement is the most inn
portant in deciding who should have
the land, although the other two
points will enter into the case to a
considerable extent. The claims which
have three or more settlers contain, of
course, many different houses and sets
of improvements, and the man who
wins in each contest will become the
possessor of the claim, and thereby
the proprietor of all the improvements
that have been made upon the land.

Martin Williams, one of the oldest
editors and reporters in the north
west, died in Minneapolis few days
ago Away back in 1862 he was edit
ing the Tribune in St Peter, Mime
sofa, where we worked for him at
''Odd spells while a part of our regi
ment was stationed there, just to help
him out when he could not get other
help. In 1863 he leased his Office and
also joined the army and at the close
of the war instead of going back to
his ST Peter home and business he
went on the reportorial staff of the
Pioneer Press, or st. Paul Press, as it's
name then was He was a genial,
whole souled man and a friend of the
whole human family irrespective of
race, color or previous condition, and
Minneapolis papers say that his was the
largest funeral ever seen in that city
or St. Paul, fit tribute to worthy,
though very unassuming man.

That Police Investigation.

Lesser Editorial.
The complete report Of the police i'll
Sestigatng committee is published
elsewhere, It does not bear ont the
reckless general charges, the prema
tire publication OF which in the even
ing papers was procured by one OF the
members OF that committee.
1t seems TO he 4 temperate document
quite fair and impartial III its discus
sion and generally to be commended
IN that direction. except that the re-
port itself does not state sufficient
cause for recommending the removal
Of Detective Earnshaw.
Neither is il quite satisfactory in its
treatment of Chief Paden. While full
~ exonorating him from all charges OF
boodling il leaves other underlined and
unstated matters without recommen-
dation either way.
indeed it is doubtful whether the
legal status of the committee was such
as to entitle it to make any recon-
mendation whatever.
On the whole the document is rather
weak The testimony on which it is
based is flimsy and in the hands of at
tornevs would be easily riddled
However, the operations of TIE
committee have given to the public a
pretty fair measure of Aid. Dundon,
who attempted to prevent The Leader
from copying the report after it was
on file as public document. He says
ne Don't give a - - - for The
Leader nor the man who owns it" but
we are in hopes. IN the course of a few
weeks to bring about a sincere change
of heart in this respect.
