FRESHMEN BANQUET.


celsbration of iss First Annual
Banquse-Sophorn Leaders
Take . Back Scat The Frssh-
men Very Jublant
The first annual banquet Of the
class of '03 of Susquehanna Univer-
sity was held at Merchants Hotel,
AdamsburQ, Pa, on the evening Of
Jan. 4, 1900.
The class Of 'O3, accompanied by
Prot. and Mrs. T. G. Houtz rs
chaperons, left Selinsgrove on the
2:l9 train for Adamsburg with the
class colors flying and class yells
ringing. This was the first entirely
successful event of the school year,
for the "ever vigilant' Sophs had
no knowledge of when and where
the great Freshmen feast was to be
held.
Having arrivedat Adamsburg the
class again did full justice to the
spirited class yells and melodious
songs, aud after registering at the
Merchants Hotel, some OF the mem
bers were escorted to the interesting
parts Of town.
Promptly at 8 o'clock the great
feast was announced by President
Wagenseller and Toastmaster Sig
mund Weis led the class into the
banquet hall. The table was laden
with all the dainties of the season.
In the centre of the table was alarge
pyramid, composed of the choicest
fruits of the season, upon which was
placed one OF the Sophs out-of-sight
caps, as trophy. Having partaken
of sumptuous repast such as Mrs.
Stahlnecker is accustomed to pre-
pairing for her guests, the toastmas-
ter, Sigmund Weis, in well chosen
remarks introduced the programme
and the following splendid toasts
were given: "The Spoils of 1908, !"
w. l. Zechman "Our Professors"
S. II. Schoch "Our Girls" l.. w.
Walter "Class Poem," E. M. Gear
hart "Ich Bien Full" Herr Ed
wart Diehl The Future of 1906"
Prot. T. G. Houtz.
AT i late hour the Sophs found
out that the Freshmen had gone
away for their banquet, SO six Sophs
concluded to drive to Adamsburg.
They arrived at 10 o'clock, but their
coming was in vain since they were
only admitted to one room. Oh,
what sad countenances they wore |!
After remaining there little more
than an hour, they left very much
disappointed, not having disturbed
any pa. II the banquet.
The class again assembled in the
parlor to continue the program, con-
sisting of solos, duets and quartets.
The mandolin, guitar and violin
selections were highly appreciated.
Alta late hour the guests retired
highly delighted with the great event
which all declared as having been
the grandest ever witnessed. Prom
inent among the regrets were those
from Harry Haas and Mrs. Fannie
Jacobs. ~

CANADA De COCHITl GRANT.
Lawyer J. H. Knaebel Files Objections to
the North Boundary SURVEY.

the North Boundary Survey.
j. II. Knaebel, of Denver, attorney
for Joel Parker Whitney. of Boston,
and other claimants, today filed in the
office of the clerk of the L. S. court of
private land claims, his formal objec-
tions to approval by the court Of the
survey of the north line of the Cechiti
grant. This matter has been pending
for more than a year. The land court
confirmed the grant and located its
north boundary at the ancient pueblo
de Cochiti ruin, the one that was cap
tured by De Vargas in the Spanish in
vasion in the year 1880. There are
several ancient pueblo ruins on the
Cochiti mesa, hence the controversy.
Special Agents Upton and clipper went
out last month, and, following the de-
cree of confirmation, definitely fixed.
located and designated the true north
boundary, as they believe, at IL certain
ruin which vas the one captured by De
Vargas. About 1000 feet north of this
is another ruin, and here Mr.. Knaebel
contends the boundary line should be
located, in which event there would be
included In the grant several hundred
more acres of land. including agricul-
tural lands, in the Cochlti proper,
and numerous mining claims in the
Peralta canon. Some of these latter
are quite valuable and are held by
miners who have well developed them
since the decision of the land court de-
clared the main mineral belt in that
region north of and without the grant
and on the public domain.
The land court will probably pass
upon the north boundary survey at its
session in December. Attorney knaebel
states his objections as follows:
/. The line taken by the said survey
for the north boundary of said grant is
situate about ! 200 feet south of the true
north boundary.
2. The said line is run without re-
gard to the permanent landmark de-
scribed and intended in and by the final
decree of confirmation of said grant, as
the north boundary call thereof, that is
to say, the old Pueblo of Cochiti situated
on the mesa of Cochiti, the said pueblo
being the pueblo to which the Indians
retired in the rebellion of 1850 and where
they were captured by the Spaniards
3. If the said proposed line is accepted
as the true line the claimants will lost
nearly all their agricultural lands in thu
Canada de Cochiti.
4. In running the said proposed lint
the surveyor followed a statement o
distance found in the decree as control
ling the statement therein of the sale
permanent landmark. the said distance
as given in the decree, being erroneous
and misleading; whereas the surveyor
should have disregarded the said state
ment as a 'falsa demonstrate"
S. The said north boundary should b.
run through the said old pueblo men
toned in and intended by the decree o
confirmation without regard to the con
jectural distance therein stated.
