IMPORTANT CASE SETTLED.
The settlement Means u Good cal for
Lead City.

The settlement Means Good ! cal for
Lead City.
THE great Lead City town site case of
the Homestake Mining Company vs.. tn
surface ground-holders of property
within the town site of Lead, was set
tied by the Homestake Company and j.
Is. liaggin. It's President, agreeing to
convey by quit claim all the right to
surface ground occupancy of all lots
and blocks situated upon the part OF
the town site now in controvciSy. such
quit claim to extend to the assignecs
and heirs forever, under condition that
the Homestake Mining Company have
the privilege of mining the ground un-
derheath the said property. This was
agreed to by the attorneys for the pco-
pie and deed conveying the surface
ground to It's present owners was sent
to }. Il. Haggin, the President of the
company, for his signature.
The ground that has been the subject
OF contention did not CO er over one
third of the town site, but the litiga,
tion affected the whole. aud no title
could be given that would stand. but
now that the case is settled satisfac-
torily By the withdrawal of the COM
pany's adverse titles, titles to the prop
crty can be given that are as good as
gold to their holders.
The settlement of this controversy
means great deal for Lead City, whose
growth has been dwarfeu by her in
ability to give her residents other than
sInatter's right to some of her most
desirable property.

Tho Dakota lsoundary Line.

THE following extract from the Far.
60, n. ID. Forum SAYS: ait looks as II
there was q chance for quite a dispute
between North and South Dakota. as
to the boundary line between the two
States. The enabling act, Section 2,
provides that the two States shall be di-
vided by the 1th standard parallel,
and that IL shall bc extended due west
to the Montana line. The ,th standard
pareliel Is the South line of Sargent,
Dickey. Mcintosh and Emmons Coun-
ties. This parallel was taken about the
45th degree Of North Latitude and was
. mile or two away from the county
lines. This description by the 7th stan
dard parallel makes it so that there can
be no question about the boundary rs
extended West from iAs present loca-
ton. The 1th standard, being a crook.
ed line to the Eastern boundary Of the
State. In Roberts County it is some
two miles north OF the boundary line
between Sargent and Day Counties, ow-
ing to the Minnesota base line being ex-
tended tor the .th standard. This
makes one tier of townships In Roberts
County North OF the 7th standard par
sllel.
"rhe State constitution says the
Eastern boundary runs South along the
center of the Red River to the 7th
standard parallel, thence West along
said parallel. As the Minnesota 9TH
standard is the only one which touches
the Red River, 1t would seem as II this
would include township 120 in Roberts
County in North Dakota.
''This question now arises in conse.
quence OF the Sisseton Reservation
lands In North Dakota eng attached
TO the Fargo Lard Office for filing pur.
poses. The general land Office has
sent the land Office here simply dup
lcate OF all the lands open for settle
ment on this reservation, and leaves 1t
for this Office TO decide which are IN

tended to the Red River, then 10000
acres are in North Dakota. II town
ship la9 OF Roberts County be In North
Dakota. then 10000 acres of this land
are in this state. 1t is said Attorney
Camp believes the latter TO be correct,
and the State constitution certainly
favors this view, but the enabling act.
under which the constitution was drawn
aud adopted. is not clear on this point.
The constitution having been accepted
by the United States, would seem t. set
this point at rest and give North Dakota
the 50, 900 acres OF the SissetOn Reserya-
tion, o considerable portion Of which is
in what has been known as Roberts
County, South Dakota"

MARCHING ON STlLTS.
A Curious Method of Locomction Prae
ticeJ in France.

A Curious Method of Locomction Prac-
ticeJ in France.
Proofs of human endurance are now
the order of the day, but perhaps the
oldest test in this direction is that re-
Gently made in France in which couriers
did the remarkable feat of marching
over one hundred miles On stills. This
method of locomotion in this country is
the occasional sport of the small boy,
but in the Landes in the southern part
of France, where the land lies low and
the grass is tall, it is the only means by
which the shepherds can look after
their focks with expedition and sue
cess The consequence is that the flock
tenders become as expert on stills as
upon their feet, the irregular surface
and the difficulties in loconotion hsv-
ing educated them to degree of facil-
ity that is described as being truly
marvellous.
La Nature gives an idea of these men
when equipped for the journey alluded
TO. The distance covered was a little
over one hundred miles, and this was
accomplished IN about ffty-fve hours,
the average rate of going being nearly
two miles per hour. While this Is not
great speed. yet It is said that. consid-
ering the fact that the coursc was laid
over stone aud u1acadamized roads. thus
causing severe shocks TO the limbs To
which the infexible stills were
strapped. the time made is regarded as
excellent.
