FiLERS HAVE RIGHTS.
Decision Affecting Many Settlers ON the
Recently Opened Omaha Lands.

Decision Affecting Many Settlers on the
Recently Opened Omaha Lands.
ASHLAND, Wis, Sept. IA decision
was received at the United States land
Office here which is of the utmost pos
sible Importance to homesteaders and
settlers on the Omaha land grant re-
Gently thrown open to settlement. The
decision is upon the ground of priority
rights of parties who settled upon the
land prior to Nov. 2, 1891, (which time
it was thrown open for settlement. The
case in question was the contest of Jen-
ME Jacobs VS.. Charles White and
Thomas J. Mccoy. Mccoy and White
settled upon the land prior to its being
thrown upon the market, and Jennie
Jacobs was filler, she having entered
upon the land after IL o'clock of Nov. 1.
This is the first Omaha case to be de-
cided by the general department, and its
full force will be realized by all settlers.
The department found Miss Jacobs was
entitled to the land and the decision
contains some very strong points, one of
which is as follows:
It is very clear from these regulations that
no preferred rights to these lands could be OBJ
tanned by reason of any statement, residence
or improvements thereon prior to Nov. 2, 1891.
The old rule that while settlers upon re served
land acquire no rights against the Uiited
States, yet as against each other he who is
prior in point of time is prior in right, as ex-
pressly declared TO be inapplicable to the
lands in question. to which no settlement right
was allowed to attach until after their final
opening to settlement as prescribed. which, as
has been seen, was November, 1891.
This decision was great surprise to
all here and will necessitate the rehear-
ing of fully one hundred cases which
have been decided by the local officers.

Vessels Bringing Immigrants from In

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-The president
is taking an active part in the fig
against cholera and is in constant and
direct communication with the national
authorities at Washington. Secretary
Foster has made public the following
telegram received by him on Saturday
from the president: cit is an outrage
that the steamship companies continue
to bring immigrants from infected ports.
Say to them that it should stop or we
may be compelled to turn back pest
laden vessels"
"This Dispatch" said Secretary Fos-
ter, 'was given to Collector Hendricks,
with instructions to send copies to the
agents of the steamship companies. One
Of the difficulties that the steamship
companies encounter is the fact that a
large percentage of the people now COM
ing over are American citizens. OF
course our duty is just as solemn and
binding to the poorest steerage passen-
ger who is an American citizen as it is
toward the richest cabin passenger. I
think that most of the steamship COM
panies are now refusing to bring immi-
grants to this country and I trust those
who are persisting will desiSt."

Politics Causes Several Murders in Indian
Territory.
:. ,McAL1sTER, Ind. T., Sept. 12.-As has
been frequently predicted the heat of
the campaign between the two parties
has resulted in bloodshed. Sunday
morning party Of about twenty-five
Indians surrounded the home of Joe
Hekletubbe, a full-blooded Choctaw,
one mile south of Hartshorne, and, call
ing him out, riddled him with bullets.
The gang then proceeded to the homes
of Elias Colbert, Robbertson Nelson
and Frank Frazier, all of whom they
shot down. Frazier's wife and mother
in-law were witnesses to his death,
and Mrs. Frazier says one of the
murderous gang shot Colbert in the
neck. These women claim to have rec
ognlzed at least four of the outlaws.
The murdered men were full blood
Choctaw Indians, said to belong to the
progressive" party. 1t is alleged that
the men who killed them belonged to
the opposing party and did the killing
through political animosity only.

fs-
QUARANTINE, Sept. 10.-Cold facts,
not words, suffice to tell that the cholera
plague, baffled in its attempt to gain
foothold on our shores, knocked at the
Quarantine gate again during the night
with vigor, indeed hundred-fold over
any previous effort. Up to the sun
down a summary of the record of the
scourge on the Moravia, Normannia,
Rugia and Wyoming, while at sea and
since arriving in port, approximately
was as follows:
Total deaths at sea 81; total deaths in
port 49,; sick in port 45. Total number
of cases 90. This does not include those
who are isolated as suspects under DIR.
Byron's charge on Swinburne Island.
The much-expected Scandal, also of
the Hamburg American line was off
Fire Island at 5 o'clock and
soon after dark came to anchor
in the lower quarantine grounds. No
report was expected until morning
because by DR.. Jenkins statement at
the evening talk that he expected to hear
nothing till morning. When, therefore,
at 1 o'clock a. m. DR.. Byron reported
the fact that he was advised that there
were 80 deaths in total of 1,0S6 souls
on board and that he was going to the
ship from Swinburne island to bring off
seven additional cases, there was intense
excitement at the health officers home.
When DR.. Jenkins gave out the facts as
received, this made the grand total for
the five ships Under surveillance as
follows:
Deaths at sea, 6S; deaths in port, 90;
sick in port, 80; grand total, $50. The
mother of the Perreson children who
died on the Wyoming while she lay at
Upper Quarantine, and who with her
children was transferred to Swinburne
island when the ship arrived at the
pestilence roadstead, also died at Swim
burne hospital during the evening, and
her demise is included in the above
summary.
Worse Than Reported.
The situation on the pest-laden
steamer Scandal is even worse than re-
ported early in the morning. On re-
turning to Swinburne Island about II
o'clock from visit to the Scandal, DR..
Byron reported two deaths and eleven
new cases on board that vessel, making
total of thirty-four deaths and eighteen
cases. The eleven new cases were re-
moved to Swinburne Island.
