that General Riveras movements nea,

PLOT DID NOT WORK.
YOUNG MAN FEIGNED DEATH
10 SWlNDLE HIS FATHER


Santa Re, cal, January 1S.-Horace
Hall, white half-breed, over go years
old, and VIM. Rusk are in Jail here,
charged with Il peculiar oflense. Rusk's
father is wealthy citizen of Atwater,
i'll. The young man left home about
ten years ago. The scheme was for
young Rusli to pretend that that he was
dead, ana thcl, under the name of
Brown, to become administrator of his
estate. Hall was then to write to
Rusk's parents, telling them that Rusll
was dead and that Rusk had borrowed
$1,000 from Hall, which Brown, the ad-
minlstrator, refused to pay until he
heard from Rusll's father. The letter
was couched in sympathetic terms, but
made it very plain that it was Rusll's
duty to send money to Brown, so he
could pay the debt of his alleged dead
son.
Had it not been for the Illinois farm
er's desire to see the remains of his
son, the game would probably have
worked; but, after telegraphing II num-
bcr of times about the body to Brown
and Hail. and getting no satisfaction,
he became sOuspclous.

Lake Charles, La, Jan. 1G.-There Is
q great movement of Dunkards from
Kansas, Illinois and Indiana to the un-
settled lands of Calcalleu parish and
the southeastern rice belt. Thursday a
fresh party arrived from Nappane,
Ell5hart county, Indiana, and were yes
terday prospecting in the Bonalr settle
mont They are headed by j. G. Mel
linger, Dr. G. L. Shoemaker and
Messrs. Good and Culp, all from that
section of the Hoosier state, some OF
the party being Mennonites. a sect
very much like the Dunkards proper
They are thrifty. desirable citizens. and
all have some money. They Usually
settle in punches. and support churches
and schools Of their own. This com
pany was delighted with tho south
west, and the prospects are that big
colony will come in from Northern In
diana as the result CT this investiga-
tion.
A short time previous to their ar
rival the Watkins Railroad company
had party of Dunkards here from
sections in illinois. In fact, that was
the beginning of what promises to lie
an enormous system. Last fall the
Dunkards held grand gathering, a
kind of clannlsh convention, in Kan
sas, where thousands of the sect as
sembled. The Watkins company sent
a representative to that convention,
and told them of the immense agricul-
tural lands in Southwestern Louisiana
and on the Texas border, and invited
them to come and inspect the place. A
party of twenty-five, as a committee
from the convention, was brought
down in special car and shown over
the entire country. That shred move
ment is now bearing fruit.
The big colony at Roanoke CT the
Southern Pacific railroad is wei es-
tablished. There are 100 of them, and
they have u church of their own, ev-
erything about the place denoing the
keenest of prosperity. There is money
i'm the settlement, and It is custom OF
their own that when one member of u
colony gets behind or temporarily EN-
barrassed financially all the fellcw
members clip in and help him out.
The Watkins company laid cut what
1t called Communities" which should |
be especially adapted to this sort of
Immigrants A Community" on an
average consists of four sections of
land, or about $500 acres, and there is
church lot to each settlement. |

The word trocha is of such frequent

Havana that it seems likely in time to
become incorporated into the English
speech. An explanation having been
asked of the term, which is pronounced
trotsha, with the accent on the first
syllable, it may be stated that original
ly it denotes a footpath, pathway, or
sometimes a short cut. During the
present Cuban unpleasantness its sig
nifcance has been applied to fortified

Wnnt NIontauk rolnt:

River Head. N. Y, Jan. 1G.-The
Montauk tribe of Indians. by their
chief and king, Wyandank Pharlah
have asked County Judge Benjamin
II. Reeve to bring an action against
the Long Island Railroad company for
the recovery of MontaulI Point The
suit involves the title to the peninsula
CT Montauk. which consists Of about
900 acres of land and worth perhaps
100000. The summons and complaint
drawn up by New York lawyers, are
ready fer service. but they have not
been presented to Judge Reeve.
The Indians claim that they hold the
right to inhabit the peninsula and to
enjoy all the benefits to be derived
therefrom. When the property was
sold to Arthur w, Benson, in 1875 it
was sold subject to the rights of these
Indians to use and occupy certain por-
lions of the land known as the Indian
Field.
The land in litigation takes in Fort
Pond bay, which the late Austin Cor
bin hoped to make a free port.
When benson purchased the prop
erty the Montaul Indians were still
in possession and enjoyed their full
rights. Benson soon began to remove
the Indians. He made them liberal Of
fers and finally purchased land near
Pelham, and established an Indian col

The announcement that days of
grace" have been abolished in one more
state, suggests that in old English law
the phrase had a meaning different
from the present well understood sig
nificance of the words as used in bust
ness. Law or custom allows three days
beyond the fixed day of payment for
paying a note or bill of exchange. The
term, days of grace" as used in old
English law, slgnihed the period of
three days allowed by the court for the
appearance and answer of person
summoned, beyond the day mentioned
in the writ. This old use thus point
ed to mercy rather than to mere bust
ness accommodation or convenience. In
these days of trusts and shylocks thore
is neither mercy nor business-just
plain sand-bagging and no more.
