Imp ,r,aot Lana Decision

A decision which establishes an impor-
tant precedent for lumbermen was made
last week sy the secretary Of the interior.
1t applies to 5000 acres OF timber land
near Ashland, Wis, which was sold to
the keystone Lumber Company in 1855,
by the Wisconsin Central Railroad Co.
In ls9e it was held by Secretary Noble
that the Central company had no title to
this land, as It did not come under the
grant to that company In 1864, because
1t had previously been withdrawn as be-
Ing within the Indemnity limits ofthe
Omaha Railroad Company. In 1891 the
Keystone Lumber Company applied to
the United States To purchase the land
under the act OF March 1887, which
allowed the people who had iDnoceHtly
bought land Of the Central company
grant to secure title to IL by making
payment to the government, Previous
to this however, about 40 different in
dividuals had settled on the land, aleg-
ing that the lumber company had no
right to purchase It Of the government
under the act, as 1t was not O purchaser
by means OF conveyances from the rail
road company for the purchase OF the
standing pine on the lands did not bring
II within the remedial provision Of the
section referred to.
Tue case was decided In favor of the
settlers by the com missioner OF the gen
eral land ONCE, but that decision has
been reversed by Secretary Smith. He
holds that the instrument executed by
the railroad company to the Keystone
Lumber Company, selling the pine on
the lands, WA, nOS mere timber llcence
but did in law and fact convey an inter-
est in the land In reality. and therefore
warranted the government in allowing
the purchase OF the entire title. Ex-
tensivc citations were made from English
decisions, and alec from decisions In

some Changes In the Law.


There are several amendments to the
election laws which we're passed by the
last legislature, Of interest to voters, and
those who have desire to enter the
political arena as candidates for office.
The first amendment relates to the In
spectors, and provides that no candidates
for Office shall act as such inspectors.
This will prohibit aldermen and super
vlsors, who are renominated for election,
from acting as inspectors of elections In
their wards and townships.
Section IA OF the law is amended SO as
to regulate the order in which the tickets
OF the various parties shall appear on the
ballot. 1t provides that the party hav-
ing the greatest number of votes at the
last general election shall place its tick
ct in the first column, and the others shall
be placed In order according to the size
Of their vote at the last general election.
Section 10 now provides that colored
ballots marked obstruction Ballot" for
the instruction Of voters, may be issued
and circulated for that purpose.
Section II provides that the Cross
stamp, used 10 marking ballots shall be
OF metal.
Section 23 provides that two chal-
lengers shall be allowed in each voting
place, and that table shall be provided
for them. ChalleDgers must have
credentials signed by the chairman Of
the city or township committee.
Section 26 gives instruction to voters
and tells how ballots must be marked.
There is no important change in fact,
though the language of the amendment
is clearer :han In the original law.
Section SO provides II man cannot
read English and must have his ballot
marked IL must be done by an inspector
appointed for that duty, and 1t must be
marked in the presence OF the two chal-
lengers. In the original law the marking
was done in the presence OF the inspec-
tors only. This is considered one of the
most important amendments TO the law.
Section 43 treats Oh the expenditure Of
money. The only change is in the last
paragraph and reads as follows: 1t shall
be unlawful ITO contribute money for
any other purpose intended to promote
40 election Of any particular person or
ticket except for defraying the expenses
of Office room or hail rent, postage, sta
tiouery, Clerk hire, music at pubic
meetings, the pay and expenses Of public
speakers, transportation Of committee
men, the pay of chalengers at the polls
and of persons to make lists of voters in
election precincts and OF printing and
the circulation Of hand bills and other
papers previous to any such election or
conveying electors to the polls,
Under the old law it was unlawful to
pay money to covey any but sick and in
firm men to the voting places. but the
amendment allows the use Of carriages
as Ia former times.

An Example for Bennington Off.
Gals.

Williamstown has been after the whis-
key sellers hard of late, and Samuel
Starkweather, prosecuting officer, has
succeeded in bringing to bay all the il
legal sellers that they were cognizant of
with the exception of the place known
as the Line House. This has long been
a nuisance, but several attempts to bring
to justice the keepers, have proved un-
successful. Some time ago, Officer
Starkweather planned raid with the
Pownal officers, but to the chagrin of all,
the keepers of the house were ready for
the visit. However, this did not dis
courage Starkweather, and about mid
night or o'clock Saturday morning, the
largest seizure of liquors ever made in
Williamstown, was successfully made by
Mr. Starkweather, assisted by Deputy
Sheriff Dunphy and Constable Richards
of Williamstown, and Sheriff Barber and
Constable Merchant of Pownai. The
house is situated about two miles from
Williamstown and has long been source
of much annoyance. The officers reach
ed the place shortly before midnight and
completely surprised the keerers of the
house. Herbert Kent was arrested on
the Vermont side, sick in bed, and was
transferred to Pownal, where he will be
kept until recovery is complete, when he
will probably be taken to Bennington.
Matthew Anderson, an inmate, was
found on the Massachusetts, side, but
was not arrested. A search was then
made with astonishing results. Thirty
two gallons of ale, twenty-eight of gin,
thirty-fve of wine, thirty-five of rum,
five of wine and four cases of lager We're
found on the Massachusetts, side, and a
barrel of whiskey, two barrels of ale,
thirty-three cases of lager and seven Jugs
of different liquors were seized on the
