THE "vAGO= .OWANHAN."
a Mysterious Light That Hangs in
- West Virginia Cannon. .sE-z.

-, West virginia Canyon. IT, H.
An old-time West Virginia wonder
is again causing quite a discussion
among the reading and thinking peo-
PIE of Wyoming and adjoining eoun-
ties. The wonder" referred to is the
mysterious light which has been known
since times almost prehistoric as the
S'Wago OWanhan."
This phenomenal light, says the St.
Louis Republic, appears to emanate
from certain spot on the precipitous
sides of the great Pat. Wess canyon:
Il casts it's ghostly sheen across the
waters of the. river, lighting the sur
rcundings not with ssickly, pale,
white light" but with a phosphorescent
glow of sufficient brightness to make
the reading of a newspaper or book
possible on the darkest night. Accord
ing to some Investigators of the Wage
Owanhan'' the light does not emanate
from any spot on the canyons side, but
hangs out over the river, like a luminous
cloud or fog. This appears to have been
the case. at the time when Prof. Tohlure'
and Mr.. I. E. Christlan-the latter Of
Oceana, w. Va.-yisited the spot On.
the 18th and 10th Of last February an
expedition, headed by Mr.. Christian,
again visited the. s'Wago Owanhan.''
Snow was falling rapidly at the time,
and Mr. Chris tan says that every flake,
when it reached a height of about 300
feet above the water, S {. wo1ld blaze out
with GaZZiinn brio n tnass', and ram air.
luminous until it reached the surface.
A scientific Investigation of the phe-
nomenon will be made. E5

Taken to the d. s. Circuit Court.

The controversy over the piece of land
in Cook county, between Carrie Moss
and Richard bowman, which was on in
the United States lard department FOR
several years, and acquired. considerable
fame, has been transferred TO. the United
States circuit. Miss Moss, who lost the
suit In the contest in the interior depart
ment, has brought suit against Richard
bowman in that court to get possession
OF the land.
The land. in controversy is the SCI Of
section 22-65.4w. The land was several
times entered and relinquished, until fin
ally Robert 81. zDoran relinquished it on
October "a, 1890, and Carrie Moss filed a
homestead entry. She was then teaching
school at Grand Rapids, Mich. She COM
pleted her term, and in April, 1891, left
for the land. According to her showing
she did not proceed in the ordinarily
humble manner Of going the land, build
ing alittle log cabin and enduring great
hardship while cultivating it. She al
leges that she hired Timothy B White
and wife as servants at $50 a month; John
B. Bisbe, her agent, at $50 d month, and
Fred Gagnon, a laborer, at $50 month.
With this party she went on the land,
built. a $500 house, moved in large
amount Of furniture, and built store
houses, etc. During her residence, which
was from April %, 1891, to June 1, 1892,
she claims to have spent $4,000. j.
When the time came to prove up, how
ever, she found an objector in the person
Of Richard bowman, who claimed to
have settled on the land in September,
1890, month before Doran's rel1nquish-
ment. The case was tried before the
local land Office. Register Nichols de-
cided for Miss Moss and Receiver Frazer
for bowman. The general land commits
sioner sustained Nichols. Bowman,
however, carried the case up, and Secre-
tary Hoke Smith reversed the commits
sioner and took the same view of the
case as Receiver Frazer. Miss Moss tried
to have the case reopened but the mo-
tions for review we're denied. " @ 81
In her complaint Miss Moss alleges
that she paid Robert 81. Doran $1,000 for
his REIMBURSEMENT of the land. Draper,
Davis & Holllster. represent Miss Moss,
and James NJ. Reddington, the well
known Washington land lawyer, is coun-
sci. Duluth Herald. Z ~ +.
That'sa good one. $4,000 in thirteen
months on homestead in the wilder
ness, 50 miles from the nearest village.
We haven't many homesteaders of that
class in Cook county now 4.

SETTLED IN NOVA SCOTIA.
Colonial Americans Who Early Mad,
Their Homes in Canada. r.

OO~ONA~sSA
Their Homes in Canada. -. E--
Many loyalists, particularly from
New England, had fed to Nova Scotia
before the close of the war, and settled
en- the spot where the city of St. John
now stands. This gave one objective
point, at. any rate, says Macmillan's
Magazine, to the much larger band OF
eNiles who at the peace were forced to
seek new homes at short notice; and
; III a single year the new. settlements
grew to some $4,000 souls. Men of all
classes focked there, officers and SOL
diers, clergymen and lawyers, farmers,
mechanics and merchants. They were
naturally much above the average Of
ordinary emigrants, both in chara cter,
education and intelligence; but all, or
nearly all, were equally destitute and
forced to begin the battle of life afresh.
a year later New Brunswick was sep
arated from Nova Scotia, endowed with
a council and home assembly, and the
capitol moved to the present site at
Val " 80.
The first council included many we'll
known New England names. such as
= Putnam, Winslow, Allen and Willard.
1t included, also, a late judge Of the
supreme court of New York, another
distinguished lawyer of that colony,
/ and an IS. several officers Of the loyal regi-
H n. Both the: New York and the.
Virginia branch Of the Robinsons, one
OF the wealthiest and most inf ntial
families Ia nil in colonial America, were here
represented, and to this day are conspic-
&uous in upper Canada. . 3s VS.
