CANNOT CONTEST
So N. P. CLAIMS.
Until Lands are Surveyed no Protests
Admissible, IS Decision Of Land
Commissioner

Commissioner Binger HERMANN of
the general land office has advised To-
cal officials that contests of ten resi-
dents of the Bitter Root valley against
that number of selections by the Nor
thern Pacific on valley lands near
Darby, had been stricken from the
records.
Those who made contest were:
Henry S. See, H. B. Waylaud, Frank
v. See, John c. Mclean, A. c. Baker,
John Campbell, J. D. Watts, George
A. Reese, Matthew w. Sullivan and
M. T.. Sec. @
Contestants protested against allow
ing selections made by the con,pany's
agents on unsurvcyed lands. The pro-
tests were ruled adversely against by
the local and general Offices for the
reason that lack of survey did not
place the lands ameuahle to contest
proce edings. Should the company
persist in claiming the land after the
survey is made, contestants will then
have power to entcrpose protests now
disallowed.

Squire Kidd.

The Boothby domestic troubles have
now assumed more definite proper
tions Mrs. Barbara Boothby filed an
affidavit on March % in Squire Kidds
court, charging her husband, David B.

John Thomas willed all property, per-
sonal and private to the defendants on
the condition that they properly care
for Louisa Thomas and himself during

pay for the living expenses of Louisa
Thomas. The hearing will take place
on Friday.

sleep Patrick, accused by the witness
of being an arch criminal, listened to
the witness with attention and occa-
sionally made notes of the testimony.
Not even the witness on the stand
was more cool. calm or collected than
was this remarkable prisoner. Pat
tricks hand was firm and steady. He
displayed neither anger, fear nor re-
sentiment. When Jones reached the
description of the murder of the sleep
ing man, Patrick merely stroked his
beard, leaned back in his chair, ap.
parently slightly bored Gy the recital
of the details.
Mrs. Francis, with whom Patrick
boarded at the time Rice died, preced-
ed Jones on the witness stand. She
was called upon to identify two tele-
grams from j. M. Coleman, of Hoas-
ton, Tex, addressed to Patrick, and to
tell of some "grayish white" pills
which the prisoner was taking for ma
laria She war asked if she destroyed
Patricb's medicine chest and replied in
the negative, adding that she would
deliver any of Patrick's property to
the District Attorney any time it was
wanted. Assistant District Attorney
Osborne jumped at the offer and tn
District Attorney has it now lin his
