ToLease the Lands soon.

Guthrie, Ok, May 11.-Charles
Fl. Filson, secretary of the school
land board, has, been notified by
the department of the interior that
the lists of the 50, 900 acres of in
demnity school lands selected in
Greer county are now being ex-
amined in their regular order and
that they will be disposed of with
as little delay as possible. The
failure of the interior department
to report on the lists of land sub
mitted has prevented the leasing
of these lands to settlers and cat
tlemen, with a consequent loss to
the school land fund of about So, =
600 a year in rentals.

near which the victims body was
found and those in the on cr harbor
and sound. and that at low tide near
the bridge the mud flats are exposed.
The apparent purpose Of the state in
calling for this testimony was TO dis
credit the evidence sought by the de-
fense to prove that owing to the tde
movements the portions OF the body
of the dead girl could not have been
thrown from the bridge by DR.. Gull
ford or any one else.
After this testimony which was brlef.
Harry OXley was recalled and Attorney

adduced. OXley said that Emma GIN
spent four days at Waterbury and that
during her sOjourn there she stayed at
the Exchange Hotel When in New

WRECK OF THE CASTlLlAM.
COuH Of Inquiry Decides Thai The Captain and

Halifax, n. s.. March 29.--The deci-
sion OF the Court OF Inquiry. which in
vestigated the wreck of the Allan Line
steamer Castilian bound from Portland,

Gannett rock ledges near Yarmouth,
March H. was held at l o'clock today.
IL was read by the chairman OF the
board, Commandef q. V. Spain. Il. N
r.. II condemns Capt. Barrett and
First officer McAtfer, OF the Castilian
as chiefly respons Bile for the disaster,
but the verdict of censure which Is
passed upon these officers is lightened
by the decision of the court to refrain
from recommending that their certlii-
Gates b. suspended There is also some
consolation for them in the statement
that the unusual current which was
running into the Bay OF f'Undy on the
night Of the wreck may have had some
thing TO do With the steamer being car
ried out Of her course thought IL could
not be the cause OF her going so far
astray Then censure falls especially
heavy on capt Barrett whose errors
of Judgment are considered especially
blameworthy. The first blunder seems
10 have occurred when two hours and
80 INMATES before the wreck the sound
ings showed 62 fathoms OF water at
place where 50 fathoms or thereabouts

causing no change TO be made in the
course which the ship was steering.
The court considered the evidence OBJ

and responsible masters of ships who
were i'm the locality of the catastrophe
that there was some peculiar current
setting into the Bay of Fundy on

been annulled.
Fisher was n student at the Michigan
University at Ann Arbor, where Miss
Peele was taking a special music

and became engaged early in 1897.
According to the testimony OF Miss
Peele, Fisher, who intended to go 10
Mexico in June to make his fortune
became extremely ealous and continu-
ously expressed the fear that she Woulu
not keep the engagemnt. He therefore
proposed that they go through mar
riaee ceremony TO bind the agreement.
They went to Toledo and were married
by Rev. William Williams.
Their relations continued as thouSn
no ceremony had been performed.
Fisher went to Mexico and finally
wrote TO his own folks that he was dis-
couraged at his prospects and felt that
he should release Miss Peele from their
engagement.
Miss Peeles suit for anulment was
referred to Lindley NJ. Garrison aS
special master. Mr.. Garrison. i'm his re-
mort. said he was satisfied that the
Toledo ceremony was not intended by
either Fisher or Miss Peele as . bona
fde marriage and as they had never
since maintained the attitude OF single
persons ne held that there was no queS-
ton OF public policy demanding that
the ceremony would be decided 10 DE
binding.
Chs.lcellor McGill agreed with this
view and filed the decree annulling the
marriage.
