AN EX-SLAVE,S SUIT.
Lays Claim to Property of Great Value rn
 a Columbus Suburb.

Matilda Gale, colored, nearly so years old, filed a suit of an extraordinary na. ture ill the common pleas court at Go lumbus, o. Her petition states that up to 1886 she was slave, owned by Smith Slaughter of Virginia In 1886 Slaughter set all of his slaves free and gave them 3 reservation, consisting of q large tracU of Virginia military land near Columbus. She and her husband came north with the other slaves and settled on the land. They remained there until 1864, when her husband was accused of stealing horses and compel. led to leave the country. They went to Colorado and remained there until 1893. when her husband and she returned to Ohio.
 She says she never sold her interest in the property, end expected to find it when she returned. Upon arriving at Columbus she found that the village Of Hillierd had grown up on il, and that the land had been divided into resident lots and sold of by man named Thom. as Davidson. There is deed on file in the recorders office which purports to be fee simple transfer of the land from Mrs Gale to Davidson.
 She denies that she ever gave him or any ene else such deed, and says she could net have dene so had she desired to, inasmuch as the property was con veyed to the slaves and their children to hold during their lives. It was not transferable, she states. She sues to re- cover poaSezzion Of the property Her share WAS IS acres, which is now very valuble, ard which will make her rich if she recoyers it.-Gincinnat Enquirer.

mittttl to West Point.
 One Of the strongest illustrations that the war is over is furnished by the list of cadets appointed to the Military academy at West Point, i'll which ap- pears the name of George Mason Lee of Virginia For the last two and hall years George Lee, who is a son of Fitz Hugh Lee, has been student at the Virginia Military institute, where he not only stood well in his classes, but attained the rank of color sergeant of his company.
 Three of his kinsmen have preceded him at Uncle Sam's training school of warriors Robert E. Lee having been his granduncle, G. ". c. Lee his uncle and Fitz Hugh Lee his father, recently appointed consul general to Cuba Rob- ert B. Lee graduated second in his class ill 1923, G. ". c. Lee graduated at the head Of his class i'll 1854 and was sent to Europe i'll the engineer corps, and after fitz Hugh Lee had graduated he rose to the rank of a captain ill the United States army. This commission he resigned, however, to follow the for tunes of his Uncle Bob, under whom he subsequently, gained renown as com mander Of cavalry.
 At the recent examination of candi- dates for the cadetship at West Point the fourth scion of the house of Lee passed most creditable examination. His friends are confident that Mason, as he is called. will give good account of himself at the Military academy. Chi caon I'rihuDa

Chicago Man Would Murder Friend

CHICAGO, Jan. S.-William J. Weber,
formerly paymaster of the Chicago and
Northwestern railway in St. Paul and
recently acting secretary treasurer of
the Kilmer Bale Tie company of this
city, is, with his brother, Gus Weber,
under arrest on a charge of conspiring
to commit murder.
The intended victim of the Webers
was E. V. Hamlin, the secretary and
treasurer of the Bale Tie company. Mr..
Hamlin, it is said, secured Weber the
place in St. Paul, and when his own
health gave way from overwork had
Weber brought here to fill his own posi-
ton while he was away on a vacation
Weber filed Hamlin's position with the
Bale Tie company for nine months and
did SO well that he was rromised the
place permanently If Mr.. Hamlin did
not return. The latter did return,
however, and Weber was
Provided With Another Position.
This angered him and, in order to again
secure Hamlin's place, it is charged.
proposed to his brother that Hamlin be
put out of the way. Gus Weber agreed
and hired man named Maloney to as
slst. Thursday night they followed
Hamlin from his Office, intending to
kill him at the first opportunity. Ham
lin met crowd of his friends, however,
and the murder was postponed until
Saturday night. Before that time
Maloney weakened and told friend,
who carried the tale to the police and
the Webers were ARRESTED. Gus con.
fessed, corroborating Maloney in all
particulars

Canadian Cabinet to BE Reorganized.
It's Policy Separate Schools.
OTTAWA, Jan. S.-A cabinet meeting
was held by the premier, Sir Mackenzie
Bowel and the six remaining members
OF the ministry, at which it was decided
to fill Immediately the places in the
cabinet made vacant by the resigna-
tions of Messrs. Foster, Wood, Upper,
Dickey, Ives, Montague and Haggart.
Sir Franklin Smith, minister without
portfolio, said in an interview that all
vacancies in the government would be
filed without delay, and that the ad.
ministration would proceed with its
policy of re-establishing separate
schools in Manitoba. Should this prove
correct, it is not thought possible that
the new Bowel administration can
last, as the majority of the English
Conservative members are strongly op-
posed to coercive measures with regard
to Manitoba.

NEW YORK. Jan. S.-A special to
The World from Havana says: General
Campos received your corres pondent in
his private office. In response to an
interrogation he said that the principal
reason why Gomez has been able to
continue his raid successfully was that
the country people gave no information
whatever to the Spanish generals. The
Cuban peasants sympathize with the
insurgents and the Spaniards in the in
terror are afraid to give informal on of
rebel movements. Another reason was
that the insurgents never show fight.
''They avoid contact with my troops, "
General Campos declared, "unless some
time their lear guard was reached.
Being perfectly familiar with the topog.
raphy of the country and used to con-
slant exercise on horseback and on
foot, they have been enabled to main
tain wide gap between the soldiers
