The organization OF the new court of law
claims at Denver last month and the an
nouucem ent that the court will hold its fina
session in that city on the 18th Of November
tive promise that he long-vexed titles in tn
western territories and state will soon be in
Affair way to settlement. The disputed titles
under the Mexican and Spanish grants have
proved especially troublesome in Arizona ana
New Mexico. They nave delayed settlement
ana Investment in som OF the fairest lands
of the southwest, and have proved annoying
in the districts farther to the north. After
much agitation and complaint congress wa
Induced at the last session to provide a court
for the consideration of this business, and
will soon begin to work.
The organization of this court gives TuE
BEE BUREAU OF CLAIMS q chance to extend it's
usefulness. 1t will take claims under this
law and prosecute them for persons who do
not know whom to engage for the service.
The business entrusted to the bureau in
Washington is being prosecuted with energy.
The Indian depredattonS patent, land
mining and other claims before the courts
and departments are being pushed as rapidly
as possible, with no delays on account OF the
large amount of business which has been sent
to the bureau. The large amount Of claims
intrusted 10 its careis a standing proof of the
esteem and confidence in which The BEE Is
held by the public which 1t serves. 1t is like
wise a demonstration, If one was required,o
he need of sucn an organizati on
The revelations IN regard to the Looms
agency which have been published recently
go even furtheri in tho same direction. When
IA man sought for by the police for nearly a
year on a warrant for ENLIGHTENMENT can set
up as a claim agent, flood the western coun-
try with circulars and receive assignments
for several million dollars worth of claims,
it appears that there is little protection for
the claimant W no sends to an unknown repre-
sentative. The men who assigned their claim
o LOOMS would have had small chance o
their seeing any of their money If tina
schemer had been given time to collect their
claims. When such risks are run and men
who are not able to go to Washington and
know no one there must hire their attorneys
at haphazard, the need for n bureau TO pro-
tect the people and do their work at reason
able rates Is apparent.
The approval with which The BEE enter.
prise is received by journalists and public
men is as gratifying as the response OF the
public.

THE iNDI CL4t ~.

The BEE BUREAU OF CLAIMS, in dealing
with the claims arising under the Indian
depredations act, has been successful in pro-
tecIing a large number of subscribers and
others from extortion and loss. From COM
plants that have come to it, however, it APP
pears that many of the claimants do not I'm
derstand their position under the act. AT a
time when there appeared to be little chance
that congress would take up the claims or
make any appropriation to pay Them, they
signed contracts with the Washington agents,
promising from one-Quarter to one half the
amount to tho agent in case the money should
be collected. In view of this extortion con-
gress inserted a provision in the act annul-
ing all contracts and limiting the agents
commission to Is or 20 per cent.
The claimants ali probably understand that
he agents commission has been limited by
the law, but many of them, according to their
own statements, do not understand that they
are free TO do as they please about employing
the agent they had first chosen. They con
sider,that they are still bound TO employ the
agent with whom they signed the exor bitan
contracts whether they are satisfied VITA
him or not.
IL was the in IGNITION OF congress to prote
them at all points and they were left on the
passage ofthe act free to do as they pleased
and employ whom they pleased. Section 9 OF
the act stated: THAT all sales, transfers or
assignments of any such claims heretofore or
hereafter made, except such as have occurred
III the uue auiiihieIia'ioh "a uooeuents 90
tates, and all contracts heretofore made for
fees and allowances to claimants attorneys
are hereby declared voic.
There could be no mistake about the mean
ing Of this. All claimants had to make new
contracts with agents after the passage of
the act, and they were at liberty to employ
any one they pleased. II they were pleased
with the zeal and nets of their first AGENT
thew might make their new contract with
him. II they were dissatised they might
choose any other agent that they pleased.
Those who have not signed new contracts
since tho passage of the act NAV profit oy
this 10 secure much better terms than they
could otherwise get from tho agents. The
fact that TIE BEE BUREAU Is doing the work
for the bare expense involved has had a good
effect in moderating the charges OF all agents
to those who know how TO protect them
selves. For those who dlstrust their ability
TO cope with the claim agents on their own
ground TnE BEE BuREAu is always open.

tenants of the count were astounded at
midday to see the bent figure of Il man
exactly resembling Casimir Won Mon
cZynski pass along the o The old
man spoke to all in n voice that recalled
visions of their former landlord, and
most of the peasants fled in superstitious
fright from the sound. Hardly less
fright was caused at the castle when the
old man sent in n card bearing the
words, ''Casimir von Mionszynski."
When Count Potocki met him the old
man explained that he had given the
physician who gave out his death
certificate at the asylum and
conducted the mock funeral $1,000 for
his part in the plan and n promise not to
reveal the fraud until after the physi-
clans death. That event had been an
%nounced, he said, and he, therefore, had
returned to his estate. The old man
said he had taken securities for about
$50, 900 abroad with him and had lived
on the interest. His object in all this
remarkable performance was to discover,
he said, how his heir would administer
his property after his death. That
story was treated rather gingerly at
first by Count Potocki, butthe discovery
by d~isinterment that the coffin from the
asylum had been buried empty increased
the suspicion of truth aroused by the old
mans personal appearance.
The old mans story of his wander
ings abroad is under investigation, and
meantime he is inquiring into the man
agement of the property, which he
claims as his own. The editor Of the
D2iennik Polski is sure that the old man
is Casimir Won Mionc2ynski, and many
Lembergers believe so, too, but Count
Potocki says that he will concede moth
ing until his tracing of the old mans
wundcrings is completed.

Robbed of His Riches.

A young man wandered dlsconsnlately up

lug, looking In vain tor a man that failed TO
come to light, After he had spent somo time
in this way he cornered u oystander and con-
tided TO him the story of a brand new woe
that had entered his life and made it for the
time being a nightmare with steel shoes on.
He came in from Nicola yesterday morning
and on the way happened 20 meet a smooth
looking gentleman with red whiskers and a
fur CAP, who introduced himself to HIM as
the representative of the firm OF j. M. Nor
gan Il son OF Walnut, bnt failed to give his
name. The general tenor of mis- conversation
was that he had been wandering up aud down
the earth in search of Just such n young man
as Mr.. Reuin Oaugh, and nothing would suit
him any better than to engage h IN right then
and there to work for him. A bargain was
QUICKLY entered into and soon the two men
arrived at the local depot, whore they
boarded q Main street car for up town. AT
the Merriam block they alighted, and then it
was that the Oewhiskered found that he was
in pressing need OF funds. Redin baugh was
only too glad to accommodate him with $50,
which was the extent of his pile, and the
loanee went up into the Merriam block TO his
oce, telling his benefactor that he would
be down at once. Minutes fled, out he did
not return, and IL was not until a MAJ to
whom he told his story informed him that he
had been played for a sucker that the whole
truth burst in upon his rustic MIND, The con-
tidence man had simply left the Merriam
block on the Main street side, leaving his
new found friend 500 worth Of experience in
return for the so which he took with him.
ltcdinbaugh is not satisfied with the trade,
however, in spite OF the apparent margin in
his favor, and ne promises TO show the man,
II he can get hold OF him a minute. what sort
OF fists Nicola soil can grow. The last ono TO
see the confidence man was the ~ianitor of the
Merriam block, who saw him climb the
stairs, anNiously looking behind him TO see
II he was followed, and then 90 down on the
