the boxes had numbered only 10, the
missing box containing the choicest part
of the exhibit, valued in all at about
$4,000. It is said that when the loss be-
came known, $50 was offered by the
express company, the offer being at
once refused. Some time after this it is

CONTESTS FOR LAND
There Is Vigorous Hostility to
Recommendation of Dock.
ery's Commission.
ST0CKSLAGER'S PAMPHLET
Giving Reasons for Hostility to
the Repeal of Present
Proceedings.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14-The recon-
mendation of the Dockery commission
that the second section Of the act Of
May IA, 1884, relating to land contests
be repealed, is vigorously antagonized by
s. M. Stockslager, formerly the COM
missioner of the general land Office.
The latter has issued a pamphlet giving
his reasons for opposing the repeal Of
the section. The law, says the ex-com-
missioner, has been in force nearly Is
years. Its purpose was to give to the
individual who furnished to the govern
ment the information in q given case
that the law was not being complied
with and paid the expenses Of establish
ing that fact and procuring cancella-
ton Of the entry, preferred right for
80 days after the Judgment of cancella-
ton, to institute claim to the land.
Contests, he says, were permitted be-
fore the enactment of the law, and
would be still if it were repealed.
Hasn't Been Recommended.
Although the law has been in force
more than IA years, no commissioner Of
the general land Office, and no secretary
of the interior has suggested its repeal.
Mr.. Stockslager says he is satisfied the
estimated increase in expenses sub
mitted by the experts of the commission
as due to the act is greatly in excess of
the added expense thereof. In conclud-
ing his argument, he says:
eff Mr.. Teller was right when he
said that congress had in various ways
invited and encouraged persons to in
form against those who are endeavoring
to acquire title to the public lands fraud
ulently and illegally as the only ade-
quate means Of protecting the United
States, and if Secretaries Lamar, Villas,
Noble and Smith were right in literally
constituting the act to further this pur-
pose, and congress has legislated for
years with this knowledge before it,
then we insist, this repeal would be
complete reversal of the policy of the
government on this subject, and that
too, without any recommendation from
the land department"

Large Verdict Against the st. Paul Stree
Railway Company.
ST. PAUL, Feb. l4.-The jury In the
case of John E. Weber against the St.
Paul Street Railway company came in
with verdict for the plaintiff in the
sum Of 1850.

was in a collision on the Fort Smelling
line, and claimed to have been so Sc
riously injured that his limbs became
paralyzed and his eyes blind.
He alleged damages in the sum of $52,-
600. There is do doubt, from the exam
ination of the doctors, that Weber is at
present i'll, but the defense claimed that
his illness was occasioned by his sham
ming injuries which he never sustained.

Patsy Clarity, a well known local

Hayward's gambling operations in Min
neapolis and Chicago. On Nov. Harry
had met him on the street, and, COM
planning that the limit was too low in
Minneapolis gambling houses, proposed
trip to Chicago where it was higher.
Clarity agreed to go if Hayward would
furnish the transportation. He was
givon q twenty-dollar bill to get his

gambling topics, and then Harry had
shown him large package of money in
his coat pocket, just flash of it, asking
If he wouldn't like some Of it. Clarity
admitted that he played and dealt faro
at local house. Harry was a very
lucky player he said, and some times
the gambling houses had to reduce his
limit. He had won as much as $4,000
at sitting. Mr.. Erwin asked him how
much Harry had won, in the past year,
but further evidence in this direction
was shut off by objection.
The principal object of Garity's tes-
timony was to show that Harry re-
turned from Chicago on Nov. 6, as Adry
had testified, and that he brought Miss
Ging's money with him, after telegraph
ing her that it had all been lost.
