BRACE LUMBER RATE
Other Roads Oppose the Reduction
Made by the M. & St. L.
THE EASTERN LINES ARE GREEDY
They Demand So Much and Western
Lines Must Stand Whole
Reduction.

In order more successfully to combat
the efforts of the trunk lines east of Chi
cago to increase the rate on lumber des-
tined for New York and other Atlantic
ports, the rest of the Chicago Mime
apolis lines are endeavoring to persuade
the Minneapolis & st. Louis to withdraw
the rate on lumber Of cents per 100 be-
tween Minneapolis and Chicago which it
recently published. This action Of the
eastern lines is a part of general policy
which they have followed for some time.
They seek to increase their earnings from
various kinds Of traffic by demanding an
increased rate and let the lines west OF
Chicago solve the question Of taking re-
duced earnings from the traffic or raising
the rate to the shipper.
The rate on lumber to New York from
Minneapolis has been 80 cents. OF this
81 cents has been taken by the trunk
lines east of Chicago and 10 cents by the
Minneapolis Chicago lines. Sometime
ago the eastern lines gave notice that
they would charge their regular local rate
on lumber from Chicago to New York,
which is 25 cents. 1t was up to the west
ern lines to take reduced rate, force
compromise with the eastern lines, or
raise the rate to the shipper. About that
time another condition In the western
lumber trade resulted in the Minneapolis
e. St. Louis reducing the lumber rate to
Chicago to 8 cents. If the rest OF the
roads fall in line this means that the 80
cent rate to New York will hold and the
eastern lines will have scored their point.
Traffic men who do not care to see the
greedy fasteners win such an easy vic
tory hope to see the Minneapolis St.
Louis put the tariff at 10 cents. II this
ia done a compromise all around will be
necessary.
The lumbermen OF the entire west are
watching the. progress of this fight with
interest The local lumbermen want the
scent rate. to Chicago kept in force to
enable them to compete with Duluth and
other markets in the Chicago trade. The
west coast lumbermen are anxious over
a possible advance in rates to the east
which will work disadvantageously to
them in their fight against other lumber
producing sections.

M0H.SI.M0'S LAND
An Aboriginal Law Suit. Involves
Many Fine Points.
OLDEST SON SOLD THE PROPERTY
Now Come Other Heirs With
Case for the Supreme
Court,

The Indian descendants of old Moh-si-
mo, the Chippewa chief, are contending
over the Inheritance, which is 653 acres OF
land In and around Thief River Falls, val
ued at $4,000.
The case will be partially settled by the
supreme court May Is. Kellogg & Sever
ance Of st. Paul represent young Moh-si-
mo, who has posed as the sole heir, and
as such sold the property to Ezra Eshelby
and James Meehan. Halvor Steenerson of
Crookston represents five other heirs,
who claim equal title In the property.
The history Of this property dates from
1863, when the Chippewas coded their
country along the Red River valley to the
United States. Old Moh-s1-mo and Red
Bear made trouble, and to appease them
the government decided to each a tract OF
land Mob si-mo got the tract at the
mouth of Thief river, while to Red Bear
was given land at the mouth Of the Penn
blna.. Old Moh-si-mO died not long after.
and his grandson, young Mob si-mo, as
sumed ownership Of the whole property
He leased mill rights at Thief River Falls
to the Meehan Bros. Ray Jones, the WE'LL
known lumberman, wanted the site. and
got ruling from the Indian department
to the effect that Moh-si- mo was a tribal
Indian, and had no legal right to make tho
lease. An act of congress gave the priyi-
'lege to him. The Meehans fought the
Case, duu the supreme court OF the United
States decided that the land was decided to
Moh-si-mo in fee and that he therefore
had the rights of citizen. It also ex-
pressed the opinion that under Indian law
young Moh-si-mo was the sole heir to
the, real estate, as the principle of pri
mogeniture prevails among the Indians
with regard to land. On this ruling young
Moh-si-mo took the land and sold it.
The other five heirs contested the claim.
and Halvor~ STEVENSON brought, an action
in ejectment on their behalf Two of them
are daughters Of old Mob 81 mo. Benz
way-ben- ness is a grandson, and his
father was oldest son of old Moh-si-mo.

other grandson and a granddaughter ara
Joined in the suit. Attorneys for young
Moh-st-mo secured writ of prohibition
from. Chief Justice Start, preventing the
district court from hearing the suit on
the ground that the parties to 1t are.
wards of the federal government. The
argument will be. upon this writ OF prohi-
bition. Mr.. Stevenson contends that az
heirs to the old chief, to whom the land
was decided as citizen, all the parties
have rights in court. 4 He also contends
that no primogeniture prevails among the
Indians with respect to land, as their
ownership of the land was always COM
mon.

Alexandria. Mimi, April 1.--Gustaf Lar
son. who Is being examined for the MUIR
der Of Magnus Johnson, broke down to-
day and confessed he did the shooting.
He implicated Andrew jacobson, the SEQ
ond man to. be arrested, and both will no
doubt be regularly held for murder.
Larson says Jacobson told him to buy
the revolver and do the shooting for the
money that was on the person Of the old
man. Larson replied he had not money
jacobson and told him he. would buy a
gun and get ready for the crime. Jacob
son was to see the weapon before the
shooting. Larson said he bought the re-
volver on Saturday and told Jacobson he
was ready. Jacobson told him to do 1t
while be (Jacobson) was in town. It was
understood Larson was to have the money
that was Oh the old man and that Jacob
son was to loot the house. '5!2 AZ
Larson said he wanted to back out at
one time, but was told by Jacobson. that
If he did SO he should die. This threat
SO frightened him that he carried out the
crime as 1t had been planned. His exam
nation is still in progress. r..
Andrew Jacobson's preliminary hearing
In the johnson murder case was finished
to-day: The effort Of the state
foundation for showing Jacobson 8
connection with the affair, if nor
to show that he planned the whole crime.
On the day of the murder Jacobson was
IN town, and, as 1t appears now, was very
conspicuous and was with many people
about, town, He, left that evening about
Z O'Clock and rode part of the way with q
FARMER He walked the last two miles and
reached home about 10 o'clock. The muir
dered man was found before that time.
Tuesday morning Sheriff Lundgren was
at Jacobson's house just as he was up
and before he was entirely dressed and
washed. The evidence showed that Jacob
son had either been from his house to
Johnson's or from Johnsons house to his
own some time between the day before
and the sheriff's arrival at the Jacobson
residence early Tuesday morning. 1t was
late Monday night when the authorities
left the Johnson house after making the
investigation. ..l,. = -"
The theory is that some time during
the night Jacobson went over to the John
son house looking for what money the
old man had hidden away, thinking the
man who did the shooting would only gel
what was in the old mans pockets
Whether he got anything or not is MOI
known. About $1,000 in bank certificates
were found in the house, but no one knows
how much money the old man had. The
evidence also showed that Jacobson was
anxious that the guilt should be fastened
on young Larson. He had suggested the
Inquest would show that the shooting was
done with a 22-caliber revolver He hat
inquired of. the members of one family
who were before the inquest, If the boy
had not had new 22-revolver, and started
that: one Of the family had so told him
which was denied to-day and the state
ment made that Jacobson had first sug-
gested the revolver.

JUSTICE CERTAINLY BLIND
So Thinks Charles Pease, the Wheat
SweeDeP

Charles Pease of this city thinks that
justice has played him a mean trick.
Pease was arrested early in January for
sweeping wheat out Of box cars standing
on the Great. Northern tracks He was
given jury trial in the municipal court
and was acquitted, Judge Dickinson rul-
ing at the time that the sweeping Of
abandoned wheat was not petit larceny
When Pease found that he was not to be
punished he became very indignant and
sued the Great Northern for $4,000, charg-
ing false imprisonment and malicious
prosecution. He had his case transferred
to Anoka county, where 1t,Mas heard last
week before: Judge Giddfngs The case
was tried last week and Pease not only
lost his suit but Judge Giddings. gave It
as his opinion that in sweeping up the
wheat Peasef had himself been guilty not
of the charge tof petit larceny; of which
he was acquitted here, but of the charge
of grand larceny inasmuch as he had en-
tered the car with intent to steal or carry
away,

The boats have been thoroughly repaired

pairs.
The hauling of ore is expected to be
one Of the features on the start from the
fact that the roads plan to move out vast
quantities Of ore. The two Eastern Min

the season being the earliest for wears.
Instead of shipping about 2, 100, 900 tons as
