In the Gray's Harbor country, north of
Aberdeen, has been rendered by the
commissioner of the general land Of
flee. On June 8, 1885, the Northern Pa
cific selected the lands in question. but
prior to that date they had been settled
upon by twenty-eight bona fide set
tiers. On June 20, 1895, the Olympic
officers were instructed to notify these
settlers that they would be allowed
thirty days in which to enter the lands
covered by their respective claims. All
OF the twenty-eight applicants failad to
make entries as allowed, and John +.
Soule and others made application to
file upon the land. the -rights-nf the
railroad company claimed that as they
had selected the lands prior to the ap-
plication of the second list of settlers,
1t was entitled to the land In the event
Of the original applicants losing their
rights.
The commissioner holds that the
rights of the first applicants did not ex-
pire until July of this year. and that
the railroads selection made prior to
that date would not hold.
The commissioner awards to Soulc
and associates the right to prove upon
the land.

San Francisco Oct. 11.-After three
days ordeal, Theodore Durrant to-day
left the witness stand.
For the first time during the trial
Durrant to-day pleaded ignorance. In
reply to a question by MIR. Barnes he
said he did not know what an alibi was
until after his trial began. While tes-
tifying to-day the prisoner became bad

his replies when examined In regard to

city prison, when, the prosecution
claims. Durrant asked Graham to fur

DIR. Cheney's lecture. remarking: III

Durrant, in his dogged way, denied
absolutely that he made such declara-
ton. and tried to explain by testifying
that Graham came to him with prof
fers of assistance. going so far as 20 in
quire anxiously If Durrant had the
notes to DIR. Cheney's lecture. Durrant
finally admitted that he asked Graham
to furnish him with the notes, but he

dents of his class and compare them

ATTACHMENTS VOID.
IMPORTANT DECISION AT DEh-
YER.
s.its Entered Before the New Law Went
Into Eject Cannot He Enforced Now.

Denver, Oct 12.-The district court
has adopted rule that will make void
thousands Of attachments issued
throughout the state before the present
amended attachment law went into ef-
feet. 1t was the general opinion among
lawyers that attachments secured
under the old law could be acted upon
In the usual way and the property
seized under them be sold. The new
rule says that this cannot be done ana
attachments obtained under the old
law and upon which judgments were
not obtained before the new statute
went into effect are not worth the
paper they are written upon. The rule
Is based ON decision given by Judge
lie Fevre several days ago in the SUIT
of the Union National bank against the
Mcnamara Dry Goods company The
decision Is not yet matter OF record,
but It will be filed in the regular way
to-day and while good many
creditors will be disappointed, there
are hundreds Of business men who VIII
breathe easier. Under the old attach
ment law the one holding the first at
tachment, after obtaining Judgment,

He received all the money and the
uther creditors, whether they held at
tachments or not. had to stand their
loss There was no redress for them.
The new law only allows an attach
ment on the grounds Of fraud, and a
hasty creditor cannot ruin n mans
business, as was the case under the re-
pealed statute. Now creditors who
nave claims must sue in the regular
way, and after obtaining judgment can
sell on an execution, but the proceeds
OF the sale must be divided pro rata
among all the creditors.
Directly after the new law passed
the Legislature last winter there was a
rush OF creditors to attach business
men, In order that they might collect
their debts under the old law. The
new statute did not go into effect until
July, and those who had secured at
tachments before this thought they
were safe. Judge lie Fevre's decision.
however knocks all their hopes In the

Governor Clarke Says 1t May BE OF An

Little Rock, Ark. Oct 14.-There
may be fight in Hot Springs, but II
won't be a prize fight" said Governor
Clarke to an Associated Press represen-
tative this afternoon ~ earnestly hope
that extreme measures will not be nee
essary. know these men. every one
Of them. and they are my friends, ana
l should regret very much to be com
pelleh to adopt harsh measures, but the
law gives me authority and supplies
the means. and II the necessity arises 1
shall certainly prevent the fight at any
cost"
The governor finds that the Law OF
1891 was not legally enacted, leaving
the state without law on the subject
of prize fighting The law Of 1888, IN
his opinion. invests in the executive all
the authority necessary to carry out
the policy he has decided upon. Under
its operation. the governor is allowed
almost unlimited latitude and could de-
clare the district to be In rebellion
against the state. and could not only
drive out by force all the parties con-
cerned with the disturbance, but could
arrest and imprison without process OF
law.
