day the balance, as stated On the

An Indian Mother ana Her Twin lh-
nnts Murdered by SavaGes.
Los ANGELES, Cal Dec 2G-J. f.
Saunders, who arrived last evening
from the Needles, reports that on the
Moiave Indian reservation near there
last Tuesday one of the prettiest
squaws who was married about year
ago became the mother Of twins.
According 60 the Mojave tradition
the squaw who has twins is witch
and II consort of evil spirits and the
penalty has always been death for the
babies and the mother. The squaw's
husb band was so fond Of her, however,
that he made n strong plea for her
and her htt'c ones but it was of no
avail The medicine men held that
the old custom muat be observed
and the two little ones were
brought forward and Drained
with a club Every one of the
mothers personal belongings were
gathered and put into her shack
and she was ordered inside. She bade
her husband farewell and went in.
The entrance was closed, straw and
brush were piled about the frail struc-
ture ana fired, and in two hours moth
ing but few embcrs rema ned.
Officers at the Needles learned of
the facts too late to interfere.

A GREAT DECISION FOR
-UKLHHUMA.

The decision of the Supreme
Court of the United States IN the
Smith Townsend land case is hail
cd with JOY by the people of Okla
homa. When the Territory was
opened to settlement great horde
OF deputy marshals and other
Government and railway employees
entered the land previous to The
hour set for opening, having OBJ
tanned permission from the lnterl-
OF Department. They declared
they had forfeited no rights, and
attempted to gobhle up the hess
claims around the townsites and
some of them even attempted t."
take large portions of the towns as
farms. They did not come here Ia
good faith, but with the" intention
OF defraudlng honest settlers, and
they have since kept ap the fight
by tho aid Of a lot OF lawyers and
Government employees doing their
beat to beat the settlers out of their
homes. Tha decision forever set
ties the question TINT deputy mar
shals and other Government en-
pleyss, railway mon and all others
who we're in the Territory previous
to noon of April % were alike
"Sooners" and violaters of the law,
and th us forfeited all rights to take
land. The decision will clear mp
the title to more than $2,000,000
worth at property. Another good
effect of tie decision will be to
keep q horde of Government and
railroad eficials from attempting
t. steal the tavn sites and best
claims Ia The Cherokee Strip
This dee;sloa. coupled with Secre-
ta.y Smith's strinreRt regulations,

CLAIM OF THE CHIPPEWAS.

Something Of the nature of s
startling discovery has been mads
by IL L. Chipman, son Of Congress,
man Chi pman, In relation to the
title Of the lapds Of large part
II not the whole, of the Upper Pen.
insula of Michigan, and il Mr.
Cbipman = conclusions nre borne
out by more minute investigation,
and sustained by the courts, every
acre OF land in that peninsula west
of the Salt and Nackinac to the
Montreal and Menomlnes Rivers,
and from Lake Superior to Lake
Michigan and the Straits, inclusive
of city and village lots, will he
handed over to their rightfal
owners, the descendants OF the
Chippewa Indian Nation, OF the
Lake Superior region.
Mr.. Chapman asserts that his
Investigations have convinced him
that no cessiou of the Upper Penln-
sula lands have been made to the
United States Government, and
that, therefore, the title deeds in
every reg stry of deeds Ia the re
gion indicated are as worthless
as 30 much blank paper. Mr.
Chipmau's general conclusions
were reached while he WAS engaged
in making researches of United
States treaties under claims made
by his clients, descendants OF the
Chippewa Nation, residing near
L'Ansr and Baraga, for non pay
msnts Of iprlhcipsl md interest Oh

IS LIN K A MINERAL?

Thcrs is now pending in the state
Of Washington a suit which invel-
yes very fine point OF law, Some
years ago \ man named James
Isaac took up homestead in Pa
olfc county, on which wss = very
high bluff. The strata OF this are
formed of kind OF fossil. After
Mr.. Isaac had proved up on his
claim young man, who gave the
name of Long, jumped Issacs claim
an the grouad that the formation
on The bluff was mineral, and that
he had right to the property be-
cause Isaac had it IA homestead
and not as n mineral claim. Mr..
Long then sold his rights to maa
from South Bend, George Duffy,
for 100000 in Sosth Bspd
property. Therefore the case
now rests between Isaac and
Duffy. The formation has been
sssayed, and it has been found that
by burning it would make lime.
The question now is whether or
not lime il mineral. Il i. is
decided that lime is a mineral, Duf-
fy gets the claim that for years
Isaac has been working on. Ii II
10 decided otherwise, Long gets
80 900 and Duffy gets left. The

The citizens Of Rathdruin. the presen,
county seat of Koctenai county. have
passed resolutions opposing county
division in answer to the resolutions
passed by the citizens of the northern
part Of the county favoring the scheme.
We have read the resolutions with
some care and with the result of a
stronger conviction than ever in favor
OF county division. Those who got UP
the resolutions did their work AS well
as it could be done. They have the
to be on the wrong side, and
when this is the case nothing much
should be expected.
Misstatements as to the taxable
wealth and population of this part of
the country are made the basis of the
conclusions set forth in the resolutions.
As TO those misstatements, we can only
say they are begotten of selfish desire
to retain the county seat in spite of the
wishes and convenience of the mass of
the population. Ii is not our desire to
take up the various Measurements or
the deductions based upon them. We
are perfectly willing to rest the whole
matter on the resources of the county

at Bonner's Ferry and at

Raise More Chickens.

Once more We wish TO call the atten.
ton Of our farmer friends to the fact
that money is being sent out of the
country for dressed poultry that ought
to remain at home. The other day the
kaesemeyer market received a ship
ment Of dressed chickens from Usage
Iowa, and when questioned by onr re-
porter Mr.. kaesemeyer said it was i'm.
possible TO obtain enough dressed
poultry here to supply the market.
Some of the farmers claim that it is
difficult to raise chickens here, but with
proper care we see no reason why the
business could not lie made profitable,
even though the losses are greater than
in the east. With eggs worth 40 cents
dozen during the winter and not less
than % cents in the summer. and
dressed poultry worth from Is to Is
cents there should be a good profit re-
naming after making due allowance
for losses. We would like to see some
farmer give the business a trial by
adopting the proper methods.
