CLAIM MINING LANDS.
Squatters Attack the Titles to Valuable
Property in the Gogebic Range.


Property in the Gogebic Range.
DULUTH, Mimi, Oct ATTACKS by
squatters under the homestead law
have been made within the last few
days on the titles to the most valuable
mines of the Gogebic range. The fight
is a new phase of the old troubles re-
sulting from the grant of $50, 900 acres
made to the Portage Lake canal some
some forty years ago. All of the big
Gogebic mines with the exception of
the CODY arc involved. The squatters
base their claim upon proclamation
made by President Fillmore declaring
the lands in question mineral. AS
such they were not subject to selection
under the canal company grant, and
hence the canal company has never
had title to pass The companies on
their side, it is said will depend for
their defense upon the fact that the
title under which they hold has been
undisturbed long enough to come
under the decision on adverse possess
sion

Tanning, William B. Mitchell, George
Barney, and Andrew Klahesky, the
four miners who were entombed in the
slope of the Northwest Coal company
Thursday, were rescued at late hour
last night. All are alive and well and do
not seem much the worse for their long
imprisonment. AS soon as an opening
was made refreshments were passed to
the prisoners and their hunger and
thirst were satisfied before they
reached the surface. The men were
without light and food for fifty-four
hours. They procured water from a
miniature well which they dug in
their cell. In consequence of having
been SO long in darkness, Tanning,
when taken out of the shaft, was I'M
able to see a lamp held two feet away
from him. None of the men could re-
member whether they had slept, and
said the sensation was like that of a
person in a trance.

ROBBED AND BEATEN.
Wealthy Stockman and His Wife Nearly
Killed by Masked Men,

TIFFIN, Ohio, Oct. 2.-Levi Keller, a
wealthy stocl1man and one of the most
prominent citizens of this county, was
robbed last night of over $500, besides
being numerically beaten by his as
sailants. They then stole horse and
rig and fled. They are completely sur
rounded and there is no chance of es-
cape. The excitement in the neigh
borhood is intense and it is hard to
tell what the fate of the brutes will
be when captured. Mr.. and Mrs. Kel-
Ter are both in critical condition and
the latter may not recover. 1t is
thought the men are the same who
held up Miss Mary Bloom, a school
teacher, and robbed her of $50 last
Tuesday night.
