OF Interest to Settlers.

Commissioner Hermann Of the gen

decisions affecting homestead entries
that will be of interest to settlers. The
commissioner holds that where a set
tier dies before the consummation Of
his claim, the widow-or in case of her
death, the heirs-may continue the set
flement and obtain title upon requisite
proof at the proper time. If the widow
proves up title passes to her, if she
dies before proving up, and the heirs
make proofs, the title will rest in them.
The other decision is in relation 10 a

such case the commissioner holds that
his entry may b" proved up, and his
claim perfected, by any person duly
authorized TO act for him during his
disability, but in this case the entry
man must have become mentally un-

his claim. The commissioner holds
that there is no authority for the ex-

after seven o'clock heard an unusual
disturbance in the Jail and at once
went out and informed Mr. Muri OF
I the fact, but before he could arrive
upon the scene the three young Grim
inals had absconded. The matter
was at once reported to Sheriff Davis
and the officers made search of the
town and adjoining country with the
above result. In one Of the cells were
Mcguire and Lowry, while in other

inclined to very talkative concerning
the affair, Payne was interviewed by

shortly after Deputy Sheriff Muir,
left the jail about seven o'clock, Ma
guire and Lowry proceeded to saw the
bars of their cell with some nstru-
ment and 1t was but a short time until
they had cut in twain two of the bars,
through which they made their exit.
During this time, Mcdonald, Pavne's
comradc, was busily engaged on the
bars of his cell, but succeeded in cut
ting but one, through which he at
tempted to crawl. As the space
was too small for his body he aband.
oned this method and drawing a
key from his pocket unfastened the
lock on the door and went out. After
all had got into the corridor they re-
moved "A chain from the bed in one Of
the cells and put it around the bars Of
the corridor window and managed to
spring them sufficiently to perm of
their passage. 1t is very evident that
the escaped prisoners were supplied
with the saw and key with which they
secured their liberty. 1t is believed
by those acquainted with Lowry, that
he crossed the Yellow stone, and being
an excellent horseman, took a horse off
the range and is headed for the north,
as it is known that he has a brother 1T
Malta in the northern part of the state
and is familiar with that section OF the
country. 1t is thought that Mcguire

out of the state. Hugh Mcguire has
been missing since the delivery and he
probably accompanied his brother,
George, and Mcdonald.

The Republican majority largely
assisted by the coerced votes of native
position in the Senate to suit those in
that majority, it's caucus, its head
quarters and it's party. This position
was to be expected after gaining that
enviable station and distinction, and
we don't envy nor blame those -Repub-
licans of the Senatorial majority in
the exercise of their rights and privi-
leges. 1t was expected and they are
justly entitled and at liberty TO do SO
by eexrcising the rubit-fn policy to the
full and to their hearts contentment
OF course, being in the majority it
was theirs to exercise it, which they
did without being thereto urged, and
did it grandly too showing vengeance,
spite, mastery, superiority and ven
ON. Again we would say, we don't
nor cannot blame them. This is just
exactly the position we blamed the
former Home Rule majority. and now
they are getting it in the back OF the
