HE LOCATED THE EMMA NINE
Litigation Over Valuable Mining
Property in Colorado
A Fight Over Timing Property That Involves
1illions of DoIIars--Captain
Woods Suit

DENVER, April 4.-The famous Wood
heirs litigation has been settled and the
plaintiffs have come into possession OF
mining property in Aspen valued at $40,
900, 600. 1t was claimed that W. J. Wood
a poor Canadian who located the Emma
mine, was defrauded of his interests in
that property AT the time of his death
he did not know how valuable it was and
his heirs signed away their claims to it
for almost nothing. When they discover
ed what they had done they consulted at
torneys and suit was begun in the United
States court. They obtained judgm ent
for one-third interest in the Emma mine
and for $539, 900 in cash.
1t was thought the defendants would
appeal from this decision. but finally they
agreed to settle the matter without further
litigation and all the heirs will be enrich
ed. All the heirs except Captain James
O. Wood of Chicago have signed the con-
tract and agreement.
Captain Wood is entitled to about one
twenty seventh interest in the Emma
mine and has the privilege to come in
and sign with the other heirs to enforce
his proportionate share of the judgment,
but no matter which course he takes, the
owners will not be embarrassed thereby
In the flush days of silver mining in
Colorado and when Aspen was in her
halcyon days, before the depression of sill
yer, the mining property involved in this
litigation was estimated to be worth from
SIG, 900, 600 to S17,0O0 900. 1t is now said
to be worth about $40, 600 900,

rection among Mexican fanatics. The
trouble which has been brewing among
the Mexicans on the border over the per-
son known as Saint Teresa" who claims
the power to perform miracles, broke out
again this week. Saint Teresa has been
declared to be man, and therefore a
fraud, the more ignorant of the Mexicans
being greatyl stirred up about the matter.
The miniature revolution which took
place at Mulatto has eliminated at Dim
ango Presidio del Norte, Mexico. The
prisoners taken at Mulatto were placed
in Jail at Ojinango, the hunch back leader
OF the Saints party demanding the surren-
der of the prisoners and being refused, he
sent word to Ojinango that he would use
force to obtain them. The hunchback
started with an armed force of $50 men.
The authorities hearing of his approach,
started force to meet him. and in the
fight which ensued which was kept up
until dark, eight were reported dead on
both sides and several wounded The
authorities retreated to Ojinango and the
hunchback remained outside the walls of
the city, threatening, for three days, and
Ojinango is in state of SIEGE ssThe women
and children have crossed the Rio Grande
into Texas for safety.
Today fifty gendarmes will concentrate

everything that could bea desired. There
were about 1900 Spectators present. The
birds were nearly all blue rocks. Many of
them proved to be very tricky, and, as the
score will show not a few off them managed
to evade both barrels of many crack

WHEAT IN OREGON DAMAGED
Cold Weather Will Cause a Loss to the
Farmers
Lots of Fields viii Have to be Resown
Owing to the Visit Of
Frost

PENDLETON, Ore, April 4.--Numer-
Gus farmers who have been interviewed
agree that great damage has been done to
wheat by cold weather, and at keast one
half of the fall-sown grain between Pen
dleton and Athena must be resown. Doz-
ems of fields are now being plowed. Last
wear sowing was not finished earlier than
April goth. so they think there remains
ample time to put the seed in she land.
Various theories are advanced for the
diving of the wheat. 1t is said the soil
was too loose and gave the cold an oppor-
tunty to reach the tender shoots. The
freezing was in spots.

Claims That Aggregate More
Than the Island Contains
REJECTION OF ACREAGE
Report of the United States Commissioner
in the Matter
A Corporation That Was Reported to Be In
solvent Continued to Do Business
In the Island

WASHINGTON, April 4.-The report
of W. L. Chambers. United States land
commissioner to Samoa, was made pub
lie today. Mr.. Chambers was one of the
three commissioners appointed by the
treaty powers of Great Britain, Germany
and the United States, under the pro-
visions of the Berlin treaty. to adjust
and settle all claims of aliens to land in
Samoa.
The annual meeting of the committee
was held January A., 1894, at Apia. The
reports include all the title papers to Sa-
moan lands and are of considerable val ue.
An exhibit attached to the report shows
that the total number of claims filed be-
fore the committee was 1892 Of tn ese
1922 were German, 1857 British, 307 Amer
ican, 326 French and 13 miscellaneous.
The total claims aggregated 1,69l, S92
acres, while the island contains $50, OO0
acres. Only eight per cent of the claims
were confirmed.
The vast bulk of acreage claimed by
Americans was rejected because OF the
manifestly inadequate consideration given
for it and because the titles were defective
under several of the provisions OF the
treaty. About q, 900 acres were confirmed
to Americans. Most of them belonged to
a corporation composed of San Francisco
stockholders.
''At the time the investigation took
place." says Mr.. Chambers, this corpo-
ration was insolvent and is still reported
insolvent. The titles were confirmed to
certain trustees. None of the stockhold-
ers resided in Samoa and so far as my in
vestgation of the matter went, none of
them had ever resided there, nor has the
company, nor its trustees an agent in the
country. Deducting the land confirmed
to this company, l think it safe esti-
mate that not exceeding 2000 acres were
confirmed to claimants. Almost all the
land of the San Francisco company is for
sale and is liable to be sold, ii at all, to
England's or Germany's subjects rather
than to Americans, for whatever induce
ments there may be for English or Ger
man investment in the Samoan Islands,
] cannot see that there exists any reason
for further American investments"
Continuing. Nj. Chambers said he heard
of only nineteen bona fde American sub
ieots in the country exclusive of officials
and does not believe that there are thirty
Americans there all told including those
who claim citizenship through naturaliza-
ton. He says there are several well-to-do
Americans engaged in mercantile pur-
suits one of whom is the wealthiest man
in the county.

COUNTIES S RussELL's CASE
Suit for Restitution of ConjugaI Rights
Commenced


LONDON, April 4.-The case of Count
ess Russell for restitution of her conjugal
rights was commenced today before Baron
Pollock. Sir Henry James, formerly at
torney- general i5or Earl Russell, contend
ed that the petition was not bona fide
one, and the countess was actudted by a
desire for money. He said that it was
inconceivable that if the wife had occa-
sion to bring such charges against the
husband she would ever wish to be re-
stored to him.
Countess Russell petitioned in 1891 for
a dissolution of her marriage on the accu-
sation of extraordinary cruelty, and on
charges so odiDuss she could only briefly
outline them. The story was so revolving
that if true it would have secured for her,
it was claimed, more than judicial separa-
ton. But her case broke down complete
ly and the verdict was against her. In
addition she was compelled to pay the
costs of the trial, amounting to over $25,
600.
