LEAKS IN THE SUPREME COURT.
Three Notable Instances When There

Three Notable Instances when There
Was Eoney in Them.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-For the fourth or
fifth time in its history the supreme court
has been Inundated by having its decis-
Ions given to the public before they were
announced from the bench, if the an
nouncement of the Boyd decision proves to
have been a correct forecast. 1t is said
that Chief Justice Fuller has instituted a
search, and has declared that he will ferret
the affair to the bottom and mcte out pun
tshiUrut to the offender. In three other
notable instances where decisions have
been given out prcmaturcly they We're
doubtless done to influence the stock mar

stock market; and lately, the Bell tele-
phone decision. The way of ascertaininp

tair.
Stolen and Sold to the Papers
There Is no doubt that the decision was
stolen and sold to the newspapers. One
newspaper man who came near getting the
news and failed is telling n story that the
news was offered to him for $500. He
claims that he made contract with A
stranger to have it delivered to him on
condition that payment need not be made
until the supreme court decision confirmed
the story. A press association here claims

paper was offered the decision at a much
less sum than $500. This would seem to
indicate that the thing was on the market
pretty generally in newspaper row Friday
night.

W~ATERTowN, S. d., April 15.NThe
Sisseton reservation opened promptly at
II o'clock noon in accordance with the
presidential proclamation. A goodly
portion of it is now in the hands OF it's
friends, the squatters, and the. other
portion is held, or nearly SO, by soldiers.
The declaratories or filings of home
steaders, and it is likely many claims in
the possession of squatters were filed at
the land office and proof will be required
to sustain the title to the land. 1t is
more than likely that after matters are
Strengthened out there will be many
claims left.
Last night the long file of men were in
high glee. They knew it was the last
night out for them. When the midnight
hour was chimed they rent the air with
their cheers, cheers of gladness that the
day was begun which before the closing
Of night would see them rich in posses
sion of lGO acres of Sioux valley dirt. AS
their cheers assembled the stars winked
and blinked and the man in the moon
smiled ap%provingly.

WATERTOWN.


LONDON, April ia horrible catas-
trophe took place at Hampstead this
evening by which two women and six
children were killed and thirteen other
persons seriously injured. Hamstead,
which is a favorite holiday resort four
miles from London, was visited by thou
sands of excursionists today. and as the
day closed there was a great rush of peo-
pie to catch the trains to return home.
In the crush somebody fell at the foot of
the staircase of the railway station and
in a minute hundreds Of persons above
were thrown into a heap Of struggling
humanity. The police at once closed the
doors and set to work to extricate the
dead and injured. Reports conflict as
to the origin of the accident. Four Of
the dead have been identified as Emily
Hamilton, aga 55; Annie Eaton, 40; John
and Thomas Longford, 0 and IA. The
other bodies are those of boys of from 10
to 13 years. The persons seriously in
jured were sent to hospitals.

L~ightweights Fight,

SAN Francisco, April IS. Fully 1000
people gathered at the California Ath-
ietic club tonight to witness the finish
fight between Billy Gallagher and Geo.
Dawson, which all lovers OF tistic sports
had confidently looked forward to as one
of the greatest lightweight battles of the
year. Gallagher, who is AN Oakland
Calf eX-amateur, with a long record of
successful contests, sIgnalled his en-
trance into the professional ranks by de
feating Billy Mahan in February last.
Victories over such men as jim Burge
and Billy Maber are a part of Dawson's
record and despite the ~latter's defeat by
Tom Williams he still holds the light
weight championship belt of Australia.
The fight was a good one and lasted
forty-two rounds. In the forty second
Gallagher threw up the sponge.

minute had concluded to resort to the
squatters right pulled for the reservation
M many who had no desire or right to
take land joined with the motley crowd.
The reservation was found to be lined
with squatters. Most of those who de-
sired to see went north into this
county where a number of
squatters were punched in lots OF from
fifty to one hundred. There was no
filppant talk engaged in by the squat
tiers. They were there for business; no
sullen looks, but determination to sue
coed could be read in each countenance.
Some were on foot, others mounted on
fieet-footed ponies. Farmers teams were
brought into play, likewise livery teams.
Stylish %turnOuts were there in number,
but the %turnouts not so stylish were in
the majority. There were young men,
the first glance would show we're not cut
out for farmers; there were young
ladies whose presence would grace any
ball room, each eager to secure a share
of Uncle Sam'sg gift to his people.
On the reservation could be noticed
mounted horsemen. They were deputy
sheriffs. AS they galloped along the
line their stars glistening in the sun
light it warned squatters not to make a
rush before the appointed hour. No one
could be allowed an advantage and each
thought that perhaps this or that one
was after the piece of land he wanted.
The hour arrives. The start is made.
They are off. Those who were on horse
back seemed to have the advantage.
Next came those in light rigs. The lum-
bering farm wagons make good time.
The pace quickens as the occupant
jumps and begins digging as if for a pot
OF gold. Those on foot strike a gait that
would do credit to professional walkers.
As far as the eye can reach the same
sight presents itself to the on locker.
The rushing. hurrying, nervous mass of
humanity is engaged in the scramble for
gain. There is no shouting. Even when
the line moved forward not a word was
uttered.
Following the boomers could be no.
ticed wagons loaded down with lumber
and supplies. Flying with the boomers
were men and boys on horseback with
watches in hand to fix the time
the first spadeful of soil was turned. One
elegant turnout was noticed cspe-
cially. In the real seat reclined
two ladies. Their carriage was loaded
down with the paraphernalia of the
squattcr- spades. stakes and signs
probably to keep off the grass. Their
movements were watched with especial
interest and by their actions it was easy
to tell they were successful as against
other squattcrs.

they get the prisoners in their custody

fl re thousand boomers are bivouacing
tonight on the borders of the Cheyenne
and Arapahoe reservation which will be
opened up to settlement tomorrow.
These, together with the people who will
make the race from various cities along
the Santa Fe and Rock Island roads,
and others who will attempt to secure
claims by filing declaratory notices,
will make a total of $4,000 people, now

who wants TOWNSHIP lots. There are not
enough farms to go around and those
who fail of locating the one will join the
spectators. There will be plenty of

The MOdus vivendi Reaches the Senate.

h Modus vivendi Reaches the Senate.
WASHINGTON, April 18.-The modus
vivendi for the protection of the Behring
sea fisheries during the pendancy of arbi-
t~ration, which has been the subject of re-
g%otiation between Secretary Blaine and
the British minister, was brought to the
capital about 4 o'clock this afternoon.
For some reason not now apparent it
was under the injunction Of secrecy and
therefore was laid before the senate in
open session. Sherman, however, vas
notified by the president of the nature
of the communication and as soon as he
could do so he moved that the senate go
into executive session. Accordingly the
people were cleared out of the galleries,
doors were closed and then the seals were
broken and the modus was read to the
senate. 1t appeared from the reading of
the document that Blaine and the
British minister had been spending the
the time since March 2G last when the
British government consented to re-
new the modus, in trying to phrase
the conditions relative to dam
ages so as to secure advant-
ages for their respective governments.
Indeed. it appears that all of the hcsita-
ton and reluctance exhibited by Great
Britain in conserving to the renewal was
assumed with the purpose of obliging
this government to accept terms for
the adjustment Of damages that would
insure Great Britain against heavy loss
in the event of a decision adverse to her
by the arbitrator. and. on the other
hand, would provide for an assessment
Of such a sum of money against the

All Quiet at the Sisseton Reservation

LIDGEwooD, n. ID, April lG.-Thcre
was hardly any trouble here in settling.
In almost every instance the boomers got
what they wanted and there are no two
men on the Same quarter. Plenty of
fine farming land is to be had yet for
several weeks to come. as the greatest
rush was made from points east and
south. While Lidgewood had large
crowds of land seekers the land tributary
to this point was not cut up much by
Indian allotments as was the land near
Browns Valley, Wilmot and WATERFOWL.
At WATERFOWL.
WATERFOWL, S. d.. April 1G.-The
line at the land Office this morning was
longer than before the opening yester-
day noon. Of the LOCO filings made yes
terday sixty were rejected on account of
conflict and anxious crowds lowered
about the bulletin boards where the
names Of the unfOrtunates were dis
played. Everything is reported har-
mOniOus on the lower end of the rcser-
walton. Too much praise cannot be
given the authorities for the perfection
of the arrangements. 1t is noteworthy
that during the entire rush not one case
OF drunkenness appeared.
