Predictions of the Managers in the

New York, Nov. 4.-The leaders OF
both the Democratic and Republican
parties express confidence of victory
in the Empire state. Predictions vary
from 10000 to $4,000 on each side.
though the estimates of the two state
chairmen, Frank Campbell for the
Democrats and Colonel Dunn for the
Republicans, are almost exactly the
same, the former claiming $4,000 fol
Color and the latter $4,000 for Odell.
Both of these men assert that thei1
predictions are based on a most
thorough examination of the situation
throughout the state and are very con.
servative. Governor Odell estimated
his majority at 100000 and Mr.. Coler
says that he expects to win by 10000.

ROBBERS MAKE A HAUL.
Details of the Robbery of Wealthy
Flathead Indian in Stat. of
Montana.
No Clue to the Thieves, One of
Whom is Disguised as Squaw,
and Assists Robb rs.
Two Other Robbers Rams ack the
Trunk in Which Indian Had
Money Concealed.

Butte, Mont, Nov. A special
from Missoula says that one of the
most sensational robberies that has
ever occurred in the history of West
ern Montana was enacted at Plains,
news of which has just reached this
place. A wealthy F1athead Indian,
named Matchell, was robbed Saturday
night of $4,000 in cash, the money
consisting of $500 bills and $40 gold
pieces. During Matchell's absence
from home Saturday night man
dressed as squaw visited his home in
Camas prairie and engaged in conver-
sation with Matchell's squaw. Mrs.
Matchell noticed that the visitor was
not an Indian squaw but white man,
as he could not talk good Flathead,
but did not suspenct anything was
wrong at first. When she saw two
men run out from under the building
carrying something with them her sus-
picions were aroused, as the wealth
had been hidden in that building.
The robbers jumped on their horses,
which were nearby, and the one that
had been talking to her Joined them
and the three hurried away. Mrs.
Matchell gave the alarm at Plains and
score of young Indians started out to
locate the robbers, but no Glue was
discovered.
Matchell is the wealthiest fullblood
Indian on the reservation. The old
Indian kept his wealth concealed in a
trunk in an outbuilding at his home
fearing to trust the banks.

i PUBLIC LAND SALES.
Nearly Twenty Million Acres Disposed
of the Past, Year.

Washington, Nov. 4.-The annual re-
port OF Binger Hermann, commissioner
OF the general land office, shows that
the public land disposed of by the
government during the year aggre-
gated 19,4S8,535 acres, an increase of
3,925,738 acres over the previous year.
OF the aggregate 1,757,793 acres were
sold for cash, 17,614,792 acres were
embraced in miscellaneous entries and
the remainder were Indian lands.
Commissioner Hermann recon-
mends large appropriation specifical-
ly for surveys in Alaska; legislation
regarding railroad rights of way grant
ed under existing laws, so that par
ties who have expended large sums of
money for power plants, ETC., shall be
protected against subsequent settlers,
and a larger appropriation to provide
for an increased number of special
agents to prevent timber depredations
and to protect public lands from un.
lawful entry. The report also renews
previous recommendations for com.
pulsory attendance of witnesses in
hearings before district land offices;
for repeal of existing laws regarding
timber OH the unreserved public lands
and substitution therefore of a gen.
eral law providing ample protection
for the forests and furnishing means
by which monopolies, settlers, miners
and others may secure sufficient sup
ply of timber for their legitimate
needs; legislation to protect game an6
fish in forest reserves; extension o1
the boundaries of Yellowstone Nation
al park and legislation giving the pres
ident general authority to set apart as
national parks public land tracts hav
ing scientific or historic interest, o.
containing springs of medicinal prop

ACCIDENT WAS SERIOUS.
TWO MEN KILLED IN THE ACCI-
DENT AT MOORHEAD sATUR-

( DENT AT MOORHEAD SATUR-
DAY.
The accident near Moorhead Satur
day, when second No. crashed into
way freight, resulted in the death of
two railroad men. The first section
passed the way freight at Glyndon,
after which the freight pulled out to
Watt Siding, two miles farther along,
and while standing there was hit by
the second section of No. 3. Coo
ductor. Charles Goff, Brakeman j. C.
Congdon and John Ryan were in the
caboose. Golf and Congdon were in
stantly killed, the former being badly
mutilated and the latter having all
arm and a leg burned off. Ryan es-
capped with scalp wound.
Ilro czitocse and three cars were
sma he'd by the passenger engine and
caught fire Immediately. The bag
gage car was der;ailed, but the contents
were saved from the flames. None of
the passengers was badly hurt, though
many suffered bruises and cuts En-
gint7i' Degman and Fireman Bergman
CT the passenger remained on the en-
gine and were not injured.
The engineer stated he did not see
| the freight till within three car lengths
| and all he could do was apply the aid
brakes, which lessened the shock. The
freight had been cut in two, to set out
car Of wood, and eight or ten cars,
remained on the main line, which af-
fopded legs resistance than a full train
and probably accounted for the slight
injuries of the passenger. The con-
fusion of the signals seems to have
arisen over whether they were intended
as signals for the freight or blows for
crossing. Engineer Green of the
freight and his fireman argued the
matter and finally pulled out in time to.
get in the way of the second passenger.
There will be thorough ir vestigation
II order to place the responsibility.
The two dead men both have fam
ilies.
Golf was from Staples. Mimi, and
Congdon from Brainerd. The freight
crew had been ON the road twenty
hours and the men were so exhausted
that there is little surprise over the
mistake as to signals.
