terton is waiting for additional infor-

The governor has called on the COM

bringing the murderers to justice. He
will also insist that no more Indians
be permitted to leave their reserv ations
to hunt in Wyoming.

which costs $50 and 90 with profess

held that every Indian who fails to do
this violates the laws and the general
government as guardian of the red
men is responsible to the state for the
payment of the license.

MANY ENTRIES SUSPENDED.
Commissioner Richards Reports Upon
Operations Of Land Grabbcrs.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-The annual
report of w. A. Richards, commits
sioner of the general land Office, which
was made public today. says that
there is large increase in the total
number Of supposedly fraudulent land
entries over the preceding year. He
attributes their discovery largely to
an order, dated November ?, 1902,
directing Investigation of all entries
made under the timber land stone act
in the states Of California, Oregon
and Washington. Under this alone
10000 entries have been suspended,
and there are now Is special agents
of the land Office in that field engaged
in ferriting out fraudulent entries.
Commissioner Richards also states
that during the year there were re-
ported l25 unlawful enclosures of pub
lie lands, covering an area of 2,605, :
800 acres. Seventy-nine Of these en-.
closures have been removed and pro-
ceedings are pending to compel the
removal Of the remainder. He says,
however, that the total number here
mentioned is only fraction of the
enclosures maintained in violation of
law, special agents having found it
impossible to give attention to many
others because of the order for the
special investigation of entries under
the timber and stone act.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2. Fourteen
blocks of buildings in ruins, one life
lost, two score persons injured, 500
persons homeless, and financial loss
of $l,500,000 is the outcome of an
alleged drunken freak at Coney Island
yesterday. Frank Connolly and Peter
Skelley, former walters in the Alba
tross hotel at Sheepshead walk and
the Bowery, are locked up charged
with arson on the strength of q state
ment made by Barney Wolf, proprie-
tor of Raines law hotel at the island.
Wolf says that on Friday Connolly
and Shelley in the presence OF a crowd
said that things were getting dull on
the island and they believed they
would liven things up with fire.
Wolf says he saw them start fire
which he put out.
Again yesterday, he asserts, they
started second fire, but he arrived
just as the flames shot up and was
unable to control them as he had done
on Friday and he gave the alarm.
When he saw his own place go up like
finder and heard that his brother.in-
law, Albert Rubin, had his skull
fractured by leaping from a window
to save himself, he told the police of
Connolly and Shelley.
