Not Properly Filed,

A Washington special says: There has
been much dissatisfaction in the general
land Office with the way the land depart
ment of the state of North Dakota has
of t%ransacting business under the popu-
list administration, and it is reported
that it is a grave question whether a
legal title has been secured to some of
the lists of land selected for the state
university. The clerks say that some of
the filings made have been SO carelessly
prepared that they have had to be re-
turned to Bismarck two or three times
before they could get them correct.

Sportsmen's Meeting.

A committee, consisting of DR.. Car
penter, Clint Smith and Edward Bowers,
of Fargo. has been engaged for some
time, preparing a program for the first
annual shooting tournament of the
North Dakota State Sportsmen's associa-
ton, to be held in Fargo June 10 and II.
The committee expects to arrange the
even each day on the program as
follows:
First Daylight events of fifteen
single 'blue rocks and an extra two
man team shoot Of twenty-five "blue
rocks"
Second Daylight events of fifteen
single "blue rocks" and a state cham
piorship event of twenty-five single
''blue rocks" A suitable prize will he
given to the winner of this event. Only
regular events will count as averages.
Accidental Death.
Coroner Webb apd DR.. Harcourt re-
turned Wednesday night, from Painted
Woods, where they we're called
by the death of P. A. Holm, as .chron-
icled last week. A jury was %empaneled
by the coroner, consisting Of w. H.
Mercer, S. A. Peterson and Ole Kline
berg, and the facts in the case looked
into. From the testimony which was
taken, they found that death occurred
about as stated-Holm probably got his
foot tangled in the lines, and fell for
ward over the dashboard upon n of
the horses, which kicked him to such
an extent that death resulted, the skull
being badly fractured and the head and
face disfgured.s The jury returned a
verdict of accidental death, in accord
/ ance with the testimony.

Those Fort Totem Indians.

AnOS0 EOfG rotten Indians.
Major Ralph Hall Of Fort Totten, who
has charge of the Indians on the Fort
Totten and Turtle Mountain reserva-
tions, was in the city Wednesday. The
major came up, thinking the United
States court was still in session, to lay
the matter Of the recent troubles be-
tween the Indians on his reservation and
the marshals before Judge Thomas.
Major Hall takes exception to some of
the actions of the marshals in the taking
of Indians away from his reservation,
and says the way in which the Indians
have been approached in these matters
has rendered them excitable and indig-
nant, and that for this reason they made
the stand when Deputy SCHNEIDER ap-
peared among them. Ordinarily, he says,
the Indians are tractable and easily
handled, but they must be handled by
some n who understands them, or they
are bound to make trouble.
There are about $500 Indians on the
two reservations, and the major says
they are busy now with spring work.
About $4,000 acres of grain have been
sown by them this spring, two-thirds OF
it being wheat. The Indians are fairly
Industrious, and take quite an interest in
their work.
Not sett,ad Yat
Grand Forks Herald: The Milling
association trouble was apparently little,
if any, nearer settlement last night than
it was twenty-four hours before. AL
though there seems some probability
that something may be done today which
will eventually result in starting up the
wheels again. It was generally agreed
among the stockholders and creditors
representatives yesterday that it would
be preferable to have a single receiver
than to have two mon acting jointly in
the interests of the two factions. But
the problem is to agree upon a man who
will be acceptable to the various inter.
ests, and at the same time have the
ability to successfully manage SO extern
sive a system of mills. But another and
even more difficult problem to be solved
and which the attorneys do not thus far
seem to have agreed upon, and that is
the question of jurisdiction and the ap.
pointment of O receiver considered from
q legal standpoint, as there appears tc
be several difficulties in the way of g
settlement of this important point.

No Doubt About 1t,

AS the tribune feared, the Grand
Forks Plaindealer, and one or two other
skeptical papers, profess to doubt the
truth of the Emmons county snake story,
which was published a few days ago.
Since the publication of the story, the
TRIBUNE desires to state that it has been
approached by different persons who
have seen the serpent colony, and all of
them are willing to swear there are at
least 10000 snakes in the colony. One
stage driver on the Kupitz line says he
got down from his seat not long ago, and
killed thirty in about five minutes, and
that they got SO thick about him he had
to beat a hasty retreat. Another visitor
down that way reports the slaughter of
two rattlesnakes, neither of them being
less than I've feet in length. The TR1B-
UNE is not in the snake story business
for the purpose Of securing any doubtful
reputation for veracity. Every snake
which has been referred to in connection
with the den in question, can be pro-
duced in short notice, or a substitute
secured without trouble. This is no
empty bluff, and the snakes are no hollow
mockeries of the imagination, but cold,
wriggling facts.

Sheriff Taylor's boarding house is re-.
celving more guests daily, and now has
probably as great an assortment of per-
sons awaiting trial as were ever confined
in the place. There is one person hold
to answer the. charge of seduction, two
for murder, three or four for assault
with deadly weapons, three for defraud-
ing counties in the wolf scalp deal, one
or two pen convicts for attempted es-
cape, and a numder of justice court and
United States court prisoners who are
serving out jail sentences. The sheriff
handles his charges in first class shape,
and makes an efficient and careful Off
cial: District court will onven in a
few weeks, now, an t II the number of
Jail prisoners will he thinned out con-
siderably.

To Be Receivers.

EHa-
Wednesday morning Z. B. Gibbs and
President Lyon Of the First National
bank Of Mandan, were agreed upon as
receivers for the North Dakota Milling
association, and IN application will be
made to the court at once. Through the
agency Of q ~receivership the business Of
the association will be continued, the
mills will beput in motion and all wheat
on hand manufactured. The temporary
closing down will not inconvenience 8
toners Of the associations, as the mills
can be run at double time and the orders
on hand filed promptly. Is is quite
probable that the neal future may see a
quick and easy way out of the difficulty,
allowing the association to continue until
its indebtedness is paid off.

Another Death

Thomas B%ottomley; or George Walker
as he is better known to some, died at
the hospital yesterday afternoon, after
an illness which has lasted about all
winter. The deceased has been we'll
known on the Missouri slope for twelve
or fifteen years, having been a resident
of this city and Emmons county. For
the past two or three years, and up to a
year ago, he was engaged in operating a
stage line from Bismarck to Fort Yates,
which he relinqulshed at that time.
Since then he has been failing in health
rapidly, wasting gradually away from
Bright's disease. His condition has been
precarious for the past month or so, and
his death has been almost daily expect
ed, but he fingered until yesterday when
the end came.
The deceased was of English birth
and extraction, having been born Jan
uary "a, 1926, in Halifax, England. He
came TO America when 16 years of age,
and led rather a rowing life, and, it is
said, was known from San Francisco to
New York forty or fifty years ago.
