title to 800 acres OF valuable farm
lands. 1t is based on deed made
nearly seyenty-five ye RS ago by the
owners of the land, and turns on the
point whether the deed had five sigma
lures or only four. In order TO test
this question it was decided to have
the deed photographed, and the clerk
of the court was ordered to give the
matter his personal supervision. For
that purpose it was taken to Washing
ton and submitted to an expert pho
tographer of that city. The original
deed, discolored and yellow with age,
showed traces of four signatures and a
space where there might have been a
fifth, but no trace of it. The photog-
raphing was done in the presence Of
the clerk of the court, who refused to
let the deed go out Of his sight. The
negative revealed traces of the miss
ing signature, and when it was en-
larged ten times the entire name be-
came as plain as when first written.
The court pronounced the evidence
conclusive, and the result will be the
reversal of former decision and a
change in the ownership of the land.

Word has reached this city of
the arrest of G. {. Lugtiz, alias {,
w. Douglas, who is charged with
being a stamp swindler. 1t seems
that he has been writing from
Pittsburg, Pa, to various coin and
stamp companies over the country,
giving good bank references, etc.
He carried this business on for
several weeks, obtaining stamps
on credit and disposing of them for
cash, until he was detected. He
was taken before a United States
commissioner and waived hearing
and was released on a $500 bond.
The penalty in such cases is a $500
fine or eighteen months imprisOn-
ment.

COMING TO HELENA.

Henry W. Dixon Left Los Angeles Last
Thursday.
Special to Tho Independent.
POMONA. GAL. April 12.-Henry W. Dixon
left Los Angeles last Thursday at two p.
m. with ticket for New York via Helena.
He was supplied with first class ticket
and about $50, and declined to take any
more with him. He has lived here in as
good family as there is in Pomona. He has
had all the funds he wanted, but preferred
to economic. and to live a retired life.
Root has furnished funds whenever called
upon and left orders to spare no pains in
taking care of Dixon. A large part
of the stories published about Dixon
are wild e1aggerations. Dixon was
never confined or restrained here. He did
just as he pleased, and when he wanted to
leave Pomona he left. It ia all nonsense to
talk about Root having coerced or confined
Dixon in Pomona. and all the best people
here know it. While Dixon has been here
his mind has been unsettled at times. espe-
clally after the newspapers published 80
much about him. Dixon said when he
went away that he wanted to 90 to Root at
Helena.

road water tank at Page City was next de-
molished. Then came tho house and barn

Their Supplementary Case, Con.
tanning New Evidence, Will
Not Be Received.
Mr.. Carter Begins u Long Argument for
the United states-N News Of For
oign Lands.

PARIS. April 12,-Upon the opening of the
BerinR sea court of arbitration to-day the
president. Baron de Cour celles. announced
that the court had decided NOT to admit the
British supplementary report for the pres
ent. Tho president added that this deci.
sion was without prejudice 10 the right of
counsel to introduce the report in plondinQs
by word of mouth. The president further
announced that the tribunal had decided to
admit the demand OF the United States for
the rejection of portions of the British
counter case. j. G. Carter then proceeded
to address the court. He reviewed the his.
tory OF the sealing industry and maintained
that kussia had prohibited tho slaughter of
female seals. He contendcd that seals
were bestowed by Providence on all man
kind. 1t was the duty of the American
government to prevent determination. and
therefore the United States re-enacted the
Russian regulations for the protection Of
cause it was impossible to allow any other
nation to destroy Unfortunately gift OF
Providence.
| Carter rend the diplomatic communion
tions relating to the seizure made of vessels
accused of poachinR. His address will prob
ably last for a fortnight.
United States Agent Foster said, In an
interview today, that the decision Of tho
court OF arbitration. refusing for the pres-
ent to admit the British supplementary re-
port substantially sustains the American
| Interpretation of the treaty of arbitration
in the contention that additional evidence
cannot properly be laid before the tribunal.
| The decision, Foster adds, determined that
the report can rank as an argument O. crit
| icism, but is not pertinent as evidence, or a
printed argument provided for in the
treaty.

WHISKY TRUST TROUBLES.

Detailed by President Greenhut in His
Annual Report.
PEORIA, Ill.,, April 12.-The annual meet
ing of the stockholders of the Distillers
and Cattle Feeders company was held to-
day. The report OF Presidont Greenhut
WAS of more than usual length. He first
spoke of the prospects last fall of congress
increasing the whisky tax, and the subse-
quent filing Of all the warehouses of the
trust. 1t was at that time regarded as a
good cLance for profits. The project
failed, but President Gresnhut considers
| that no set of men ever worked more CON
scientiously than did the directors and
officers of the trust. The company has
been censured for advancing prices last
fall, but those who have passed through tax
agitations know that prices we're then ad-
vanced relatively much higher than last
winter, and without any preconcerted ac-
tion.
Owing to overproduction the company ia
carrying three times as much stock as ever
before. This used all the ready cash, and
it was necessary to borrow more. The item
of rebates alone. which fall due in April,
May and June. will exceed the amount the
company will eceive from the same source
by 100000. as rebates now coming due
cover the large sales Of last October. No
vember and December. This was the cause
Of the passing of the last quarterly divi-
dend.
President Greenhut detailed the formn-
tion of the pool last fall to protect stock,
but the subsequent attack by the bears,
with stories of congressional investigation,
the petition to throw the stock from the
New York stock exchange, rumors Of bank
ruptoy and the appointment of receivers,
caused veritable stampede which the
friends of the company were poverlsss &c
check.
| The total earnings for the year ending
March 81 were 50. 432. $685. dividends and ex.
penses paid S1.267, 159; cash and cash as.
sets, $3, 1888, 800. against which are liabilities
in the shape of rebates, balance due on dis
tilleries purchased. etc., of So 068. .2S9. Pres.
ident Greenhut recommends the issuing ant
depositinR of bonds secured by first lien on
property to guarantee to consumers the
payment of rebate vouchers. He opposes
the purchase of additional distilleries, al
this offers Il premium to the building OF
new houses. The only safe way to over
come competition 10 to produce at the low
est cost and sell direct to the trade. He REQ
ommends the purchase of necessary dis
tributing establishments and the issuing o.
bonds to raise the necessary capital. Viii

Ind. were elected directors for three years

Outrages by Strikers.

BRussEIs April 12.-The strike move
ment is spreading. Three hundred miners,
engaged in II strike. petpetrnted much dam
age at Qua, eCnon to-day. Many men were
working in Il pit, who refused TO join tho
strikers, and the mol's efforts were di-
rectud against them as much as agninst
the owners of the pit. All sorts of rubbish
was thrown into the shaft. tho intention of
tine strikers being to imprison the men in
the mine. The PIT officials were helpless
and assistance was asked from the gand-
armes. Before the oilicers arrived consider
ordered ths riotsrs to disperse and upon
refusal to do attacked them with the Hat
SIDES of their swords. and the strike's were
finally dispersed. Further trouble 10 ap-
pretended and close watch will be kept.

SHOUTED FOR SUFFRAGE,
And Tried to Break Into the Parliamol
tary Building.

And Tried to Break Into the Parliamen-
tary Building.
BRUSSELS. April 12.-Immediately after
the assembling Of the deputies to-day an
excited crowd gathered. As the crowd be-
came more demonstrative a squadron of
police was called out and held ready to
charge. At four O'Clock the workingmen
nearest the parliamentary building raised a
shout for universal suffrage and made a
rush to break the police line. The police
were driven back and the mob tried to push
up the steps. Mounted reserves charged
with drawn swords. The mob met them
with repeated volleys Of stones, but was
eventually forced back and partly dispersed.
In the conflict several policemen were
struck with stones on the head and many
rioters cut and trampled on.
Repeated disturbances followed. As
often rs crowd was dispersed by the police
the rioters tried to Reasonable and fought
back with stones. In the district around
the parliamentary building fifteen men
were arrested. Less serious disturbances
in other parts Of the city were followed by
arrests.
