SEIZED CITY LOTS.
A Big Tract of Railroad Land In Spokane
dumped by Boomers.

SPOKANE. Wash, Nov. 2l.-When the
city awoke Monday morning, it was con-
frOnted by an extraordinary spectacle
During the night $50 boomers had rushed
in and located lots on the tract known as
Shantytown, owned by the Northern Pa
cific railroad and situated in the heart of
the city. bordering right upon the business
district
This large tract was long i'll dispute.
Several years ago it was jumped by squat
tiers, but three years ago the interior de-
partment decided against them, and they
were ousted. Recent decisions by the sec
rotary of the interior adverse to the rail
road respecting lien land sections started
a rumor that this tract had reverted to the
government, and this led to a stampede for
lots. Daylight brought renewed activity,
and before . o'clock At least 700 men had
staked out lots
Policemen caught the infection and joined
in the work of grabbing. During the day
Shantytown was scene of great activity.
Hundreds of shacks and cabins were be
ing run up, and hundreds of men stood
guard over their claims. At night bonfires
dotted the site, and lanterns cleaned in
every direction. 1t is not believed the jump
ers have ghost of a show.

STILL HATE NELSON.
Three Young Montreal Frenohmen Tried
TO Blow Up His Monument.


MONTREAL, Nov. 2l.-Three French-Ca-
madam law students-Honore Mercier, son
of the eN-Premier of Quebec; Paul de Mar
tigny and Alphonse Pellard-wcre arrested
while attempting to blow up the historic
monument to England's great naval hero,
Admiral Nelson, which stands at the top of
Jacques Cartier square facing the city hall.
The police had received private informa-
ton a few hours before that plot was on
foot to blow up the monument with dyna-
mite, and they secreted themselves in the
neighborhood to await the arrival of the
trio OF conspirators.
The young men affected indifference
when seized, one of them loudly declaring
that the thing had no right there anyway
and should be made mincemeat of. They
Were taken to the Central station and
locked up after giving their names. On
the person of Paul de Martigny was found
dynamite cartridge nearly a foot long and
about 30 feet OF fuse. The three young
men vary in ages from Is to - and belong
to good families. They are all law stu
dents. Young DE Martigny is the son
of DR. y. l.. de Martigny; young Pollard
the brother of J. q. Pollard, advocate, and
young Mercier the son " the eN-premier,
who Is out of town ut present.
The accused were admitted To bail in Sc
curities for n 'arge amount, their friends
belng Wiling 10 put up any quantity al
money to have chem liberated. Their trial
was postponed until the 18th inst.
There is little doubt that the young men
were melted to attempt the outrage by the
fierce articles which have been published
in the French papers here during the past
few months against the monument TheiI
innate hatred of everything British was
fired, and they determined that the statue
of the hero OF Trafalgar should bite the
dust. There is a great deal of suppressed ex
element throughout the city, and while
the French papers make light Of the affair
there is plenty Of bad blood ON both sides
which needs but spark to rekindle tht
racial flames which. il WAS hoped. had dice
/ out some time ago.
