NEZ PERCEs RESERVATION.
The Lands Thrown Open to Settlement
Yesterday.

SPOKANE CWash), Nov. 1S.-Ac-
ccrding to the proclamation of Presi-
dent Cleveland, the famous Nez Perces
Reservation in Idaho was thrown open
to settlement to-day at noon Pacific
time. 1t was expected that the scenes
enacted in Oklahoma would be repeated
here, only on a smaller scale, but such
was not the case. In fact, there was not
what could be called a wild scramble
for land at all.
That this scene of excitement did not
occur is due to the manner in which the
reservation was thrown open, and 10
the uncertainty existing as to whether
IL really was to open to-day. Outside tf
the newspaper reports. the only official
notice received to that effect was the
following telegram to the local land
office at Lewiston from S. W. Lanor-
eaux, Commissioner of the General
Land Department at Washington, y. G
under date of November 18th:
The Register and Receiver will pub
lish in the local papers notice that the
President has signed a proclamation
opening the NeZ Perces Reservation
lands to settlement and entry on the
18th inst"
From the fact that no proclamation
with the Presidents signature attached
had been received, many discredited the
report Of the opening. Not word was
received as to the manner of opening
the reservation, and consequently no
restraint was put upon the thousands
Of homeseekers, some of whom went
into the reserve yesterday to select loca-
tions while the remaining boomers
rushed over ii early this morning, bent
OIL getting some choice spots. When
the hour for the opening came nearly
everybody had already made their Sc
lections Several hundred who waited
until noon before beginning the march
found all the choice lands already
taken.
The only likelihood of any trouble re-
sUlting is over mineral claims and
tcwnsites. The Craig Range of Mount
aims, which extend across the territory
opened is said to be rich in minerals
Here prospectors and sooners staked
cut both placer and quartz claims sew
eral days ago, and viii attempt to hold
them against later comers. IT is eX-
pected that serious trouble will ensue
there.
At least dozen townsites were map
ped out weeks in advance and the rush
for these furnished the only excitement
witnessed.
Owing TO the confusion existing re-
garding the manner of the opening the
number of contests Will be great. and
excitement is looked Tor when the ril-
ings commence at the Lewiston Land
Office.

pain of death. The four men, all masked,
then jumped from the engine.
The engineer then ran the train to this
city at high speed and Informed the
railroad people. The City Marshal was
notified, and in less than an hour posse
heavily armed started Oh a special train
for the scene of the hold-up.
The Great Northern people refuse to
give out anything. The express car,
which is said TO have contained large
sum, was on that part of the train cut Oft
with the engine, and was brought 10 this
city. The passengers were left in the
hands of the robbers.

wished to settle the matter, SO Hender-
son would not have to appear in court
to answer to a criminal charge. This
exasperated the father of the little girl,
Samuel Ray, who insisted that he be ar
rested and tried. a quarrel ensued,
and Henderson struck Ray over the
head with a hatchet, splitting his skull
open. He then made a rush for the door
of the schoolrOOm, in which the investi-

in the aisle by Mrs. Ray who attempted

Suit of the Southern Pacific A2ains
the Isailroad Commission

Suit of the Southern Pacific Against
the IiaiIroad Commission.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. l8.-The suit
of the Southern Pacific Railroad Com
pany against the Board of Railroad Com
missioners for an Injunction to restrain
the latter body from interfering with the
existing railroad rates was continued an
other week in the United States Circuit
Court to-day. Attorney Fitzgerald, rep
resenting the State, said be was not ready
to 60 on as he had not fully prepared his
case. AS there was no opposition to his
motion it was granted.
The Southern Pacific by its President,
G. p. Huntington, and its attorneys, has
filod an amended complaint in the United
States Circuit Court to strengthen
its pleadings in its Injunction suit
against the commission. Besides Mr..
Huntington's signature, it bears the
names of w. L. Herrin as solicitor and
J. G. Martin, j. L. Foulds and l.. S.
Plllsbury as counsel.
The purpose of the amended complaint
is to show that the reduction OF rates
proposed by the commission would cause
the railroad company to suffer so great
deficiency as d, 1868, SO II for the present
year.
A comparison Of the receipts and ex-
penditures of the Southern Pacific lines
within this State, says the amended COM
plant, shows a surplus for 1894 of S434,-
491 20. and the contention is made that
such a red uctlon OF rates as the commits
sion proposes would have diminished it's
revenue to the extent of Sl,775, ,0OO and
produce deficit of 81, $40, 502 %.
The comparison shows deficiency for
the company's lines outside of the State
for the first six months of this year
amounting TO $685. 69i %, and it is set
forth that any reduction OF rates like that
attempted would have decrease the reve-
nue. SSi5. 222 Is, and made deficiency OF
81 1,Gol ,974 81. Thus tie commissions cut
would cause total deficiency for this
