Attempt to Locate Property on
Caledonia Street.
OWNERS WROUGHT UP
Would be LOcatOrS Ordered Off
The Attempt Created
Excitement.

The property owners whose holdings
are situated on Caledonia street, west
from Franklin street, were somewhat
excited this morning over what they o
slider was an attempt to jump their
properties. Some loud talk was INDUCED
in, principally by the property owners,
and trouble was averted by the would
be locators withdrawing from the neigh
borhood after receiving notice to do so.
The ground in question is a small frac-
ton south of the Hub addition, eX-
tending from the corner of Franklin
street west on Caledonia street about
600 feet. 1t was originally held by Ed
ward G. Bitten, a miner, by squatter's
right. Bitten sold a nuInbe of lots. for
which he gave quit claim deeds, and on
these lots several houses nave been built.
A short time ago the city purchased a
portion of the Fraction for the purpose
OF opening W street.
The attempt to locate this property,
If it was an attempt. was made this
morning by George Gemmel, who is sale
to have been acting as he's agent of those
who are seeking to acquire the ground
At Z o'clock a force of men was put
to work ON the lot of Fl. l.. Metz, at
the corner of Franklin and Caledonia.
Mr.. Metz property is situated on the
east end of the fraction. Metz had a
conference with Gemmel. and was told
by the latter tina he proposed to take
the GROUND up for mineral purposes.
Metz replied that while he had no right
to the mineral deposits, he wanted the
surface kept intact. Gemmel informed
him that he regretted to disturb him.
but if the grOund was open to mineral
location he proposed to locate it.
Metz then came down town and con-
suited a lawyer, who advised him to
order the men off the premises as tres
passers. He went back and did SO and
the locators quit work and took their
departure.
Several other owners of property along
Caledonia street We're not quite as cour-
teous as Metz. John Hunter notified the
jumpers that if they came inside his
fence he would blow them full of holes.
The excitement over the episode had
subsidized this afternoon.

Republican Losses.

Republicans realize that they are
losing ground with the people, says
the Chicago Democrat.
No less an authority than for
mcr Speaker Reed admits this fact
In his recent speech before the
New York bankers, Reed said:
Two years ago the candidate in
Ohio who represented the gold stan
dard received 52G, 900 votes and all
his opponents received 100000.
That was 10000 majority. This
year the Republican candidate had
but 40, 200 plurality, while Il third
candidate had LOG, 900 votes
The fact that there was II major
itv of $4,000 votes in the presi-
dent own state against the admin
istration policy has frightened
Reed.
With great popular protest
against the gold standard, Reed
thinks that the only safety for mil.
lionaircs is to force legislation thru
the next congress.
This is remarkable confession
of weakness.
In it there is comfort for Dcmoc.
racy. There is a promise of veto.
