Canyon. In 1881, when the stone work was being done for Padre Can yon bridge, two men. whose homes were in New Jersey, had returned to work after their noon day meal, and. stopping down to pick up their tools from between two large bould CTS which had been blasted that morning, the rocks came down and crushed the two workmen into a shapeless mass. It took some time for their companions to pry the rocks apart and when it was ac- complished there was not much left to gather up. They both left families in the east who were very anxious to have the remains shipped home. but the friends of the men decided that there was not enough left to ship, so buried them where they were killed. The stone masons carved the stones which mark the spot where they lie. The rough monuments can be plainly seen from the train and stand like sentinels there on the desert telling of two homes made desolate.
 Superintendent Hubbard and Mir Buggeln returned with their party of hunters from their trip across the Canyon last Sunday. They had rather a rough experience on account of the bad weather. They had only reached the hunting grounds and made camp when the heavy snow storm set in and, fear ing it might continue, made their way back to the south side of the Canyon feeling sorry to leave the game that was within their grasp.

PUBLIC LAND ENTRIES.
Proofs of Rank Fraud Found to Exist in
 California and Oregon.

A Washington dispatch under date of November 25 says all en- tries of public lands in California, Oregon and Washington, under what is known as the timber and stone act, have been held up by the government on account of alleged speculative frauds, and a rigid in- vestigation will be made. There are several hundred thousands of acres involved in these entries.
 The Interior department has re- ceived many reports charging the existence of fraud in the entries and Secretary Hitchcock will urge upon congress the necessity of prompt action in amending the law to pro- tect the public domain from de- spoilers. At some local land offices car loads of entrymen arrive simul- and make their timber and stone entries and the indica- tions are that the cash required to C4PiOit thc chtIlcc OIlSlildIcS lIOul some other source.
 The cost of an entry of 160 acres under that act, with the increase of incidental commissions is $415, and as many as five members of one according to official reports, who never had $2,075 in their lives have walked into a land office and paid the price of the land and com missions.
 Interruptions spectators also, it is claimed, have obtained timber upon the unreserved timber lands by making so-called mining claims under the placer mining laws.
 The department proposes to insti- tute rigid inquiry into the bona fide nature of these entries and when the latter are found to have been made in the interests of other than the entryman, the entry will, in every case, be cancelled and crimi- nal proceedings begun. All local land offices in the section in- volved have been directed to inn suspend action on all timber and stone entries.

Cedar Rapids Jeweler Takes carboIlc
Acid and Then Shoots Himself.
+ CEDAR RAPIDS, IOWA.--Driven from
contentment to worry by the care OF his
brothers estate and from worry into tenn
porary insanity by the accusations Of his
insane brothers deserted wife, Oliver B.
Blachley, wealthy jewe1er of this city,
committed suicide this morning. He first
drank. quantity of carbolic acid and
then, when the agony became greater
than he could endure, placed revolver
to his forehead and fell back a corpse. "
Many years ago, Howard Blachley,
brother of the man who committed sui
eide, married under sad circumstances.
The marriage was not a happy one. and
Howard Blachley soon deserted his WIFE
He went west and remained there for
many years. Relatives say that the
woman followed him west and made life
burden to him. Relatives of the wife say,
on the other hand. that she went west at
his request, to live with him. Last spring
he returned to this city and proceedings
for divorce were commenced. Dispositions
were being taken both here and in South
Dakota. where he had lived. Suddenly
Howard Blachley became insane. Last
August he was taken to the asylum at
Independence and his condition since that
time has not improved.
Oliver B. Blachley was appointed guar
dian of his insane brother and given the
control of the property. Then the wife
of Howard Blachley filed a petition in the
district court, alleging that Oliver Blach-
ley was negligent in the management Of
his brothers property and further al
leging that he had not set out all the
property in the schedules. He was man
OF the most unimpeachable integrity and
the accusations, though they were not
sustained by the court, who made his ap-
.pointment as guardian permanent, wor-
ried him so much that for the past week
he has been mentally unbalanced.

Is SMITH BASSANELLA?
Washburn Authorities Believe They Have
Man Who Is Twice a Murderer.

Washburn Authorities Believe They Have
a Man Who Is Twice a Murderer.
BISMARCK, N. DEMONSTRATION that
have been quietly progressing for some
days lead to the almost conclusive belief
that the man confined in the county tail
at Washburn awaiting the death penalty
Tor the murder Of Anton Hylinger near
that place, Is no other than Jacob Bas-
sanella, who escaped from the county Jail
at Grand Forks several years ago. having
Deen arrested for numbering a resident of
Grand Forks county. The murder in
Grand Forks was committed in a box car
in which the murdered man and two Bas-
sanella brothers We're returning from the
lumber woods. The Bassanella brothers,
Joe and Jake, escaped from the Grand
Forks county Jail. with Several other prjs-
.oners. Joe was recaptured by the Off
Gals, and sentenced to life imprisonment
in the penitentiary Jake escaped.
Shartly after the escape there appeared
in the vicinity of Washburn young fell
low who gave the name of James Smith
! Last spring he murdered Anton I1ylinger,
well-known farmer living near Wash
bum. :, He was arrested and placed in >iail
from which he escaped while awaiting
t"ial and eluded the officers for three
-eks, being finally captured at Fort
Yates.
Not until Smith was put on trial for
murder was there any suspicion that his
Identity was other than he asserted.
When arraigned for trial he pleaded guilty
and before sentence was passed made a
statement to the court. He said his real
name was Jacob Bassanella. and he briefly
outlined his life. stating that his father
was an Italian and his mother a German
He did not make any statement with ref
erence to the murder in Grand Forks
county, but that omission was easily to be
understood.
That Smith might be the man who es-
capped from the Grand Forks Jail was
thought possible when he first stated his
real name, which is an unusual one. Sub
sequent facts which have been discovered
! tend to confirm that suspicion. The age
of the two men is the same. "a years
The names are the same. It is known
that the real Bassanella served in the
navy, and in proof Of that picture has
been obtained, taken number Of years
ago in uniform. It has also been learned
that the real Bassanella formerly lived at
Stockton, Pa, and the Washburn muir
derer made the statement in court that
he formerly lived at Stockton. The facts

and officials who have, charge of the

of the real Bassanella, state that they be-
