LINCOLN'S HAT.
A Contest as to Who Shall Have the One
Exhibited Ira Washington.

Exhibited In Washington.
From the Buffalo Express.
A white stovepipe hat, somewhat
worn and soiled, but valuable as once
having been worn by President Lincoln,
was the subject of contention in re-
plevin suit in the office of Justice 5. X.
Church of this city. Gath's "Entailed
Hat" never aroused more combative-
ness in the disposition of man than
does this relic of the martyred presi-
dent. Not only was IL the subject of a
suit, but II came near leading to vio-
lent action on the part of its possessor.
Osborn H. Oldroyd, who maintains the
Lincoln relic collection on Tenth street.
where the victim of Booth breathed his
last.
1t is not certain whether this particu-
lar hat was worn by the president the
night that he was assassinated, or
whether II was one of his old head
coverings kept by him in remembrance
of the days when he first had political
aspirations. 1t is hat that the loud
est-mouthed political champion would
taboo.
The hat in question was once the
property of DIR. Phineas ID. Gurley. to
whom il was given by Mrs. Lincoln.
In some way II came into the possession
of the government for use at once OF
it's expositions. IL was for long time
on exhibition at the patent office. Then
in some manner unknown IL fell into
the possession of Osborn ii. Oldroyd,
whose house on Tenth street contains
over 5000 Lincoln relics. OF all things
in the house, Mr.. Oldroyd priced the
hat most highly.
If he had not considered II profane
act he would doubtless have worn the
hat himself, 20 strongly was he attach
ed TO It, Even the soiled marks were
to him precious. He was therefore as
tonished and panied when United
States Constable Saulter entered the
{ museum this morning and. armed with
/ a writ from Justice Church. proceeded
! to take possession of the hat.
For a while a miniature war seemed
imminent. The constable had one end
/. of the--hat in his possession and Mr..
| Oldroyd had the other. They pulled un-
til IL was apparent that further pulling
would leave only pieces. The constable
explained. Mr.. Oldroyd demonstrated
and threatened. but finally succumbed
and let Mr.. Saulter have the hat. Mr'
Saulter explained that James o. Adams
and Emma II. Adams, executors OF the
estate of DR. Gurley, claimed TO be en-
titled to the possession of the hat, and
had filed a suit against Mr. Oldroyd
for it's recovery. They assert that DR.
Gurley did not give II to the govern
ment, but loaned II, with the under
standing that when the government
had finished with the relic II should be
returned to Dr. Gurley or his heirs, In
stead OF to a private exhibitor.
As the parties to this case are
wealthy, long and costly litigation Ii
likely over this treasured relic.

THE WOOD DEALERS.
s .ndburg and Black viii Be Arralgned
This Morning.


This Morning.
United States District Attorney Les
lie and Colonel Root, agent of the in
terror department, came over from
Helena yesterday to attend a prelimi-
nary hearing of Nels Sandburg and
Charles Black, who were arrested a
few days ago by Colonel Root on the
charge of unlawfully removing wood
upon which a levy had been made by
the agent. The two men were caught
trespassing on government timber land
near Feeley station some time ago and
had cut a large amount of timber
when Colonel Root found them out.
They made a proposition to settle with
the government, and while their offer
was under consideration they attempt
ed to remove the wood by stealth,
which resulted in their arrest. They
were taken before United States Com
missioner McMurphey last evening, but
their arraignment was put off until z
O'Clock this morning and they were re-
turned to the county Jail.

A NEW terror in the water we
drink is described in the Medical
News. This is the filaria n nocturna,
which gets into the blood and
multiplies there and produces a
dreadful disease, with horrible
swelling ofthe extremities. The
natural history of the filaria is
really most interesting, and it
appears that IL is propagated
through the agency of mosquitoes.
which carry the embryo from the
blood ofa patient to the water.
where they deposit their eggs, and
another patient takes in the filaria
with the water. This is not a fairy
tale, but scientifically ascertained
fact. The danger may be remote,
but it furnishes another reason for

OUR CLIMATE.

The climate of the Gila valley is
admitted by all who have ever been
here to be the most lnvigorating
and health giving in the southwcs
Eastern invilads who are seeking
/ climate that will restore them to
health and vIgor again can find ii
right here. We are free from the
damp heavy atmosphere of the sea-
coast, and while it gets pretty
warm in the middle of the day in
summer, the heat is not oppressiv
what is required to restore health
to invalids.
As soon as the sun goes behind
old Mt. Graham there is always f
breeze which makes the nights de
lightfully cool, in fact some cover
ing is always required In sleeplnG
Those who are afflicted with
living troubles have always found
relief here, and are delighted with
the climate. During the winter il
is never necessary to provide
against extreme cold, for we do
not have it. There is never a day
during the winter, except during
the stormy weather, but what th'
farmer can till the soil. In fac
crops are planted all winter long.
And during the summer when
people wish an outing they do no
need 60 to some other state to find
it for right here almost any climate
can be found. AT camp Columbine
on top of Mt. Graham, is one of the
most delightful summer resorts In
the world, over 1000 feet above sea
level, and covered with timber anc
grass, with pure mountain water
bubbling ftom the mountain sides
on every hand. Here in the day
it is as cool as in the valley in the
evening. Hundreds Of pleasure
seekers go to this resort every sum-
mer. 1t is not more than 16 miles
from Stafford with a wagon road
leading to it. If one does not wish
so great an altitude there are other
resorts lower down; Camp Arcadia
less than half a days drive from
Stafford is also splendid resort.
We wish to say to those living
east, north, and south who are
afflicted with lung trouble, that our
will cure them if they come
here in time.
