A state Line LlouoA Selling Case.

Edward NJ. Fisher, WHO is charged with
liquor selling at Pownal, has been taken to
Burlington, where he will be tried by the
United States circuit court. He says that
bis arrest was instigated by people who
kept famous road house near his place
and exactly on the Vermont line. The
road house people have avoided arrest by
transferring liquors to one side of the line
or the other, according to whether it was
Massachusetts or Vermont officers visiting
them. But combined raid recently con-
fiscated the liquors. Fisher was the insti-
gator, and he says the road house people
retaliated to get him out of the way so he
could not appear against them.

Property WIN Go to vermonters.

A. H. Jaquith of Templeton and Gard
ner, Mass, who died recently, bequeathed
$4,000 to his native town, Marshfeld, for a
public library. Mr.. Jaquith had willed
all his other property to his wife, but she
died eight days before her husband. He
was too i'll or was disinclined to change
the purport of the will, so a codicil was
put on by the addition of the words, "And
her heirs" The property amounting to
$4,000 or 100000 will therefore go to four
brothers of Mrs. Jaquith who live in North
field and Marshfield.

Cabame, Titus and Murphy Said
to Have Arranged to Take a
Race Apiece.
Murphy Failed to Keep His Part
Of the Agrement--Others
Admit 1t.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 2.-The. Republic
makes sensational charges against Fred
J. Titus, Charles Murphy and L. D. Ca
banne, the three crack Glass B riders
who participated in the Diamond tour
nament given in this city under the
sanction of the League Of American
Whee'meu.
There We're three Glass 3. events on
the programme which, according to two
of the riders themselves, it was fixed
that each of the three named, should
win one OT the events.
Murphy Broke Faith.
Cabanue, the paper says, was to be
allowed to take the mile open, the most
important race, as this was his home
Murphy, however, SO Cabanne and Titus
assert, broke faith and carried two of
the races, while Terill, California
man, honestly landed the third, thereby
shutting out the two men named. Alex
Laing, a local amateur who heard the
three class B men discussing the races
afterwards. said that Murphy gave as
all explanation of his conduct. that his
firm Ornie1t him to ride out the races,
having heard of the agreement. The
matter has been called to the attention

Z. d. Cabanne and F. J. Titus, the
two st. Louis cyclists attending the
FairmOnt Park races, were seen at the
track by The Republic correspondent
and asked about the charge in the mile
open race in st. Louis last Saturday
if it had been agreed that Cabanne
should win the race. and that Murphy
had broken the agreement Cabanne
and Titus Were together when seen, ani
| not only admitted that this race haC
been fixed, but that the three important
races in Glass B had been arranged be

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. DIR. George
F. Becker, geologist in charge on this
division of the United States geological
survey, has returned from Alaska, where
he has been making survey Of the gold
and coal fields along the shore line. He
was accompanied by DR.. William H.
BAIL, who went to make a special re-
port on the coal fields. This is
the first work that has ever
been done by the United States
geological survey in Alaska. He says
there is no doubt that Alasha Is
going to be an active mining region but
he does not believe it will rival the Cali
forpia mining belt. The veins are not
so large and well developed as they are
in this state
There has been quite an excitement
this summer among the placers at the
head of Cooks Inlet. The amount OF
success thus far achieved hardly war
rants the amount of interest exhibited
The profitable washings thus far are
confined to few miles on Bear creek
which empties into Turnagain arm.
Heating Quality Poor.
AS to the coal deposits, the only Goa
found that seems likely to be of an,
commercial value was at Cooks Inlet
The coal is present in large quantities
Its heating effect is comparatively slight
SO that it takes about two tons to do tn
work of one ton of Vancouver islan'
coal. He believed the coal could be econ
omicauy mined, if the work was don

Request Of Auditor Du2n to Sus-
pend Entries in the Duluth
Land District,
BENDING Investigation, Refused
by Land Commissioner
LamOreauX.
He Remembers Sparks and His
Rulings, and Will Avoid
Breakers.

ST. PAUL, Sept. "A Washington
special to The Dispatch says:
The request of State Auditor Dunn of
Minnesota to the land department here,
that certain lands in the Duluth district
be withdrawn from entry under the
homestead and the timber and stone
acts, pending the examination now le7
ing conducted by Special Agent Farrel,
has been refused by Commissioner
Lamoreaux.
Mr.. Dunn's letter, which is lengthy
document, was received July 3. 1t was
referred to the swamp land division, and
on the 18th ult. q reply was sent to the
state auditor.
Couldn't Grant the Request.
1t is stated at the land department
that the request Of Mr. Dunn could not
be granted without legislation giving
the department the authority to sus-
pend the provisions of certain acts Of
congress 1t is cited that Commission
2r Sparks tried to suspend the opera
ton of the homestead and timber cul-
ture act, and that his action was looked
upon as a high handed proceeding, and
ne was promptly called down by the
secretary Of the interior. Commissioner
LamOureauX appears to have the inter
ests of the hOmesteader at heart, but 1t
would be interesting to know just how
many bona fide homestead entries have
been made in the Duluth land district
Dunn Lacks Faith.
1t is known that State Auditor Dunn
has no faith in the sincerity Of a large
number of entries made under the
homestead and timber and stone acts
in the Duluth district, and he will, in
all probability, keep his own special ex.
aminer in the field for the purpose OF
discovering the number of hardworhne
homesteaders in this particular locality
The officials here admit that there
are, no doubt, entries made by pa1tie,
who never intend to occupy the lands
as homesteads, but who sell them after
securing color of title from the gov
ernment. The circular of 1886, which
is alluded to in the letter of Mr.
Lamoreaux, was promulgated under the
administration of Secretary Lamar
1t allows the entries to be made on thost
lands, situated as is the tract in the St
Louis district, and then if the state lay
claim to it under the swamp land grant
an issue is made at once and the charac
ter of the land is decided on accorChn:
to the evidence submitted before th
local land officials, the register and re
ceiver. An appeal lies from their deci
sion to the general land Office, and from
the commissioner to the secretary Of tn
interior.

fight. They also had the excitement of
