FIRE FOLLOWED BY 1 BATTLE
Disappr0ved of the Location and Dy-

Building.

BELLEroNTE, Pa, April 7,--Iho little
township of Curtin, about Il miIos from
here, is in turmoil of excitement over
the burning and blowing up by dyna-
mite of the district school house. Bad
feeling was aroused about two years ago
over the selection of site for the school
house and The courts had to settle the
matter. One faction was still digsatis.
fled and before dawn this morning about
20 men and boys set the building on fire.
The other faction was soon on the ground
and tried to quench the flames. The in
cendiaries, however, were hiding in the
weeds and while some of their enemies
were in the building they threw dyna-
mite on the roof. The building was
completely demolished and those inside
narrowly escaped with their lives. The
two factions then engaged in a pitched
battle in the dark and some were badly
cut by woodmen's axes. More trouble is
feared and District Attorney Singer left
for the scene of the trouble at once, de.
termined to arrest the belligereuts.

The House Nainly Endeavors to As
certain What the Metric Sys-
tenn Means.

WAsHISGToN, April Ex-senator Tur-
pies speech on Cuba was the event of
the day in the senate, and in many re-
spects it was the most picturesque and
vehement utterance heard on the sub
ject. The senator had an ineXhaustible
vocabulary and bitterly satirical style
While arguing for radical action on
Cuba, even to the extent of sending a
fleet to Cuban waters, much Of Turple' 8
speech was given to sarcasm and rldlcule
of the course Of Sherman and Lodge in
managing the Cuban resolutions. The
senator created lluch amusement by his
portrayal Of Senator Lodge as warrior
about to fight :. duel with Minister Du
puy de LONE Of Spain, Most of the day
was given to the Indian appropriation
bill, which vas not completed. Cnanl-
nous consent was secured for taking up
the resolutions for the senate inquiry
into the recent bond issues next Tues
day.

citement was created on the stock cx-

stock in Lake Shore l., were closed out
under the rule, also large line of Alley
l., West Chicago and Strawboard Nor
ton says he hopes to be able to pull
through and that he could today have
margincd his deals if he had had time to
find certain friends, who would have
given him financial aid. The extent of
the failure is not known, but many
brokers are creditors.

MUCH MONEY INVOLVED.
The Suit for the So Called school See.
tfOn.

tlOn.
The trial of the suit of the Great Falls
Water Power and Townsite Company VS..
James w. Roberts, to quiet title to the
south half of the section of land north
west of the Fifteenth street bridge, was
begun in the district court Wednesday.
The plaintiff s attorney is A. j. Shores
and Stanton & Stanton represent the
defendant.
| The plaintiff produced evidence tend
| ing to show that Paris Gibson, Phil
Gibson, II. o. Chowcn, Del Ii. Chowen,
A. E. Dickerman, G. M. Webster, Geo.
d. Euddington and James w. Matkin
in 1856, filed on the land, as a mineral
claim, with tho understanding that the
| other locators should transfer their
rights to Paris Gibson; that, about
three years later, all tho sother locators
did transfer to Paris Gibson their
claims, although there was no consider
alton for the transfer; that Matkin died
in 1880; that, short time prior to his
death, he executed a will, in which he
mentioned specifically the property
which he owned, but did not
mention the land; that Matkin also told
several pereons, shortly prior to his death,
that be no longer had any interest in the
land; that no patent for the land was re-
ceived until the fall of 1895, and then
Paris Gibson searched for the deed to
himself from the other locators, but
could not find it in the plaintiffs vault,
nor among the papers Of the late H. ?.
Rolfe, who was plaintiffs attorney at
the time that, it is alleged, the deed was
executed; then, believing it to be lost,
Mr.. Gibson secured signatures to new
deed from all the locators who were
living, but Jasper Tullock, heir of James
W. Matkin, refused to sign the deed,
and, in few days, decided an undivided
one-eighth interest in the land to Rob
erts, receiving therefore Roberts note
for $1,000; and that, two days later, be-
fore any payment had been made on the
note, Roberts was notified that Tullock's
title to the land was disputed.
The plaintiff claims that the value
Of the 40 acres of land was 90
times in excess Of the alleged conaidera-
tion between Roberts and Tullock,
which was well.known to both; that
Malkin did deed his interest to Gibson
and that lsoberts was not an innocent
purchaser, having been notified that the
title was disputed before making any
payment
The defendant denies all contentious
OF the plaintiff.
