The cele brated land case of Adams
VS.. McLain, involving title to lot l6,
block 46, in this city, or what is known
as the Capitol National Bank building
or Beadles block, has been remanded
10y the commissioner of the general
land Office for new trial. for the
reason that the old townsitc board
refused to allow one of the contest
ants tc make good his default in de-
posit, before the day Of hearing.
The testimony is voluminous and
the property involved is one of the
most valuable in the city.
Under this ruling of the department,
where party in default offered to
make the same good before the decis-
ion of the contest was made, and the
board had refused TO allow it, he has
good grounds to apply to the secre-
tary of The interior for a new hearing.
With the reopening of the case will
be brought out afresh the Newton
syndicates' work as sooners, with
McLain, Ragsdale and others in the
foreground.
For awhile these parties carried on
practically, n pawn brokers' business
with 1885 capital, and the manner in
which they manipulated the old Com
mercial banks books was q decided
caution, If one is to judge from the
intelligence furnished by those who
know. 1t was not long until the
McLain people lost their 'Rrip" They
made an assignment to Mr. Il. ID. Nix,
who finally sold their property to Mr..
j. Il. Beadles, the present owner. On
account of the manifold interests in
volved and the many pc srless ques-
tions that will be brought out more
fully than before, the case will be of
~eat interest and will be severely
ut from start to finish. r

ALLEGED DESPERATE CAUGHT.
Joe Evans Starved Into Submission by
New Mexican Officials.

Joe Evans Starved into Submission by
New Mexican Officials.
Denver, Nov. A special from AL
buquerque to the Denver Republican
says: After n pursuit of about ten
days Joe Evans who is charged with
being one of the leaders of an alleged
gang of stock thieves and general des-
peradoes, was brought here this after
noon and lodged in Jail.
About the first part of September
flock of 25,000 sheep belonging to Elias
s. Garcia was stolen and driven to
within q few miles of this city. Early
on the morning of September Z the
room of Mr.. Garcia in this city was
entered and an attempt made to assas-
sinate him. He was shot through the
breast, the shot having evidently been
aimed at his heart and the left arm
shattered with another bullet, while
the victim was asleep.
A few days after the mysterious
shooting Pedro Garcia went out to the
ranch and Immediately returned and
reported the theft of the sheep. In the
meantime Joe and Jesse Evans had ne
gotiated for the purchase of a saloon
in the city and us they were not
known to have money several rumOrs
were soon set adoat. Then the officers
discovered that the Evans were sell
ing small hocks of sheep to various
parties. principally to the butchers,
and that the sheep had belonged to
Mr.. Garcia, who had been shot. The
Evans got wind that they were in n
hot hole and Jesse made haste to Tex
as. Joe eluded the officers until the
grand jury indicted him and then left
for the Manzano mountains. Deputy
sheriffs followed him and when Evans
saw them coming he barricaded him
self in Il house. The officers tried to
dislodge him, but fearing that some of
them would be killed the officers re-
treated to a safe distance and kept
watch on the house for three days and
starved Evans into surrender.

storm is raging on Lake Erie. The
high winds began at 5:45 this morning
and increased to nearly 60 miles an
hour at 10 o'clock. This afternoon the
wind had abated a trifie.
Shortly after noon the barge Porter
was sighted near Windmill Point. Her
snils were torn and n small piece of
canvas hoisted about 100 feet was the
only means Of propelling the barge.
The tug Johnson got n line to her just
outside the wall and got her behind
shelter. The men on board were thor
oughly exhausted. Wheelman Thorspi
lay in the cabin In an unconscious
condition from a frIghtful wound In
his head. He had been struck by the
wheel when one of the fierce waves
washed over the ship. Another sea-
man was washed overheard and was
rescued. At noon the Badger State
was discovered about five miles up the
lake on the south shore.
She was flying danger signals and
four of Maytham's biggest tugs were
sent to her.
The Idaho, from Duluth, laden with
copper and flour, narrowly escaped
being beached. She was rescued by
