State Timber Sale,

Little enthusiasm attended the sale
of st. Louis county stumpage lands
held in the Court house Wednesday
morning under the direction of State
Auditor Iverson and less than two
thirds of tue timber listed was dispos-
ed of but Mr.. 1yerson considers that
on the whole the sale was satisfactory.
The timber and stumpage listed was
valued at about $4,000 and Mr.. liver
son says that as near as he can Judge
about $4,000 or possibly $40, 900 worth
was disposed of. The highest price
paid for any one tract was bid in by
w. II. Cook who purchased land in
16-6l-13 and 36-6I-18 for $3.50. The
Duluth Logging company bid in a
larger'tract in 16-62-2O for the same
price and Robert Whitesides paid
81. $50 for tract in 36-59-16.
In all there were about fifty bidders
and some of the purchases ran up as
high as $500. Occasionally there was
lively piece of bidding as particul-
ar desirable piece of stumpage was
offered and in one case piece in 63-13
that was estimated to be worth $50
brought just twice that sum.

ments by the supposed agents, to the
effect that he had confessed to them
that his entry was invalid, as it had
been made for another person. But
Blewett succeeded in explaining his
statement, so that in spite of the in
genuity of the ruse. the commissioner
allowed his entry on the land in pre-
ference to Haley's.
The Anderson-Litchfield dispute is
of old standing and involved many
legal points. Litchtield filed an entry
on the land in November, 1899, but
soon afterwards Anderson proved an
entry of the same tract in April of
the same year, six months earlier than
Litchfield. He therefore claimed
priority on the entry. Litchfield then
showed that Anderson already .held
more than the legal allotment of 100
acres to one man. and insisted upon
his entry. But Anderson's entry is
finally given the precedence over
Litchfield's on the ground that the
land officials were not aware he held
already more than 16O acres when he
made his entry in April, and it was
therefore, as far as they were concern
ed, valid.

Cowardly Work.

The MINER herewith, on behalf OF
several of our citizens and the city in
general, gives notice to the low-lived
contemplate wart of creation who
spread the poisoned meat about town
for the purpose Of killing dogs, that
he must cease. This notice should be
sufficient and if any more fresh evid-
cnce of his work is discovered, some
one will wish their mother had died
before they were born.
Tuesday gentleman. whose YER
acity has never been questioned, saw
this dog murderer walking along the
street and when in front of dog, drop
something. The dog failed to see
what was dropped but the man follow
ing did. On picking it up, piece of
cooked meat with a slit In it filled
with strychnine was in evidence.
The party who has the meat as evil
dence locked up in his safe. refuses to
divulge the name of the wart unless
more Of this business is done. Tues
day several valuable dogs went to dog
heaven by the poison route and the
chances are that more would have
gone had not the alarm been spread
and dogs tiedup.
Yearly, poison is spread by some
unprincIpled wretch to get rid of some
surplus dogs. Small children are Just
as liable to pick up these tempting
morsels of cooked meat. A man who
is not man enough to wage open war
on dogs is a pretty poor skate and
murderer at heart.
Let this warning suffice. A repeti-
tlon of the offence will be a signal to
go ahead and there are just enough
outraged citizens about town to 90
ahead in the proper manner.

Interesting Land Cases.

Decisions settling the ownership of
two large tracts of land which have
been the subject Of litigation for years
were received at the Duluth land of
fee from the United States land Office
in Washington Wednesday.
BY the mandates of the land COM
missioner, Wellington Blewitt is con
frmed in the possession of ihis stone
and timber claim, in section 81, 68-2l,
which was contested by Dan Haley,
and Charles Anderson is given the
title to tract in section 9. 67-24 which
has also been claimed by Isaac Itch
field and II. H. Shevlin.
The Haley-Blewett litigation at
tracted wide attention during the
summer Of 1902 when it was pending,
on account of the sensational methods
used by one Of the litigants to legally
disqualify the other. Blewett first
made entry on the land in June, 1902,
after contest with William Fawcett
for it's possession. A few hours later
Haley filed entry ON the same tract,
alleging that Blewett's entry was not
made in good faith, and that he was
merely acting for another in taking
the land.
Each stubbornly contested the 9TH
er's claim, and in the midst of the
fight Blewett was approached. it is
said, by agents who offered him money
to abandon his claim. Blewett refus-
ed, but finally, to rid himself of the
agents, he afterwards asserted, told
them that he was claiming the land
under another's direction and there
fore had no no right to sell his inter-
estS in it.
Immediately afterwards Blewett
was confronted with sworn state

TO HEREFORD BREEDERS

American Association Issues State
ment Regarding Litigation.
The board of directors of the American
Hereford Cattle Breeders association has
issued the accompanying statement rela-
tive to tbs litigation in which the asso-
citation is involved;
The members of the association have
doubtless ere this learned of the Ntiga-
ton in which We are involved. from the
newspapers and other literature that has
been sent them. The attorney general of
the state of Illinois instituted proceedings
to annul our charter and to appoint re-
alton in all particulars. This action was
based upon Information furnished him to
the effect that this association had quit
business, etc. The only evidence offered
in court in support of the contention is
an affidavit Of g. Il. b. Sotham and c. b.
Smith. We believe that this action was
brought for the sole purpose of tying up
and destroying our association in order
that new one might be organized upor.
Its ruins. A circular announcing such all
organization has Seen mailed to many
members. This action is certainly pre-
mature, as we are confident that we wiE
be able to maintain the integrity OF GU,
old association. We therefore ask the
members to WITHHOLD action upon the
fully informed upon the subject and they
get full report of conditions from the
board of directors. When this litigation
will end, we cannot at present say, but
we are doing our best TO terminate it at
an early date AS 1t progresses and any
thing IS determined You will be advised
thereof by the board. The office Is doing
business as usual at Kansas City and has
almost caught UP with the business that
accumulated during the recent flood il

Chicago, July 16.-F'reight handlers
at all the warehouses in the city were
ordered by President Lawrence J. Cur

Twenty-Five men discharged by the
Chicago Terminal Transfer Railroad
company for refusing to handle freight
from the Kellogg Switchboard and

to the Western avenue freight house
and apply for their old positions. with
the understanding that they will han

President Curran asked the council
to perform the part of union men. He
was Informed without delay by the
council that the teamsters would not

company's freight. Curran immedi-
ately called the executive board to-

structed to receive all freight that was
offered them.

not going to sacrifice my men in their
support. The freight handlers will han

The return of the freight handlers to
the Chicago terminal freight houses
will eliminate them from the present
struggle that is being waged against
the Kellogg company. 1t also will save
Curran from being enjoined by the fed

companys business. should Judge
Grosscup today decide to grant the APP
plication for an order restraining the
freight handlers and teamsters from
endeavoring to hinder the delivery OF
freight to the terminal company.
A bill of complaint was filed In the
United States circuit court yesterday
by the Chicago Terminal Transfer
Railroad company, asking the federal
courts intervention in the expected
freight handlers strike growing out
of the labor troubles of the Kellogg
Switchboard and Supply company.
The defendants are Lawrence j. Cur

NOT GENUINE RuBENs.
But Joe Lehner Happy to Get His Ecee
Homo Back,


Dcs Moines, Ia. July 16.-As happy
as though his last trouble on earth
had vanished, joe Lehner left the
county courthouse yesterday with
Adam and Eve" beneath one arm and
"Ecce Homo" Rugged tightly to his
body by the other.
These two notorious paintings, over
which husband and wife in divorce
court holly commended, were pronounced
worthless by art critics and according
ly Judge McHenry ordered them re-
turned to Lehner. II they would not
entice hundreds of dollars from the
Golfers of lovers of art, they were jew
els In the mind of Joe" Lehner, and
with his aged face covered with smiles
he went joyfully trudging along the
street with his treasures The tears
almost overfiowed their bounds when he
was carelessly handed the bundles. The
Sheriff was happy to get rid of the pic
lures, which had been pronounced
nothing but daubs."
These pictures, which came to this
country from Germany years ago were
painted in 1900. have been exhibited by
their owner as the work of Rubens.
Artists claim they are but copies made
by unrecognized contemporaries Of the
great master. The criticism convinced
the court they were of little value,
but the loyalty of Joe" to his pictures
and their authorship is still firm.

GRAY FOR PRESIDENT.
Anthracite Commission President Il
Pronosed for the Democrats.

Pottsvile, Pa, July 16-The quiet
boom among the anthracite miners of
Judge George Gray Of Delaware for
president, is assuming tangible shape.
A canvass Of the officers of the mine
workers. locals show that great ma
jority of these who are democrats favor
Judge Gray's nomination. Since the
collapse of the Cleveland boom the adj
herents Of both Cleveland and Bryan
have united in praise of Judge Gray
and it is expected that the latter will
be Endorsed for president at the APP
preaching Schuylldll county democratic
convention. James B. O'Reilly,
democratic leader who served in the
lower house Of congress while Judge
Gray was in the senate and who later.
as United States marshal for the cas-
tern district Of Pennsylvania, came in
to close contact with him, said tonight
that he considered Judge Gray's avail
ability and popularity would land him
in the presidential chair If he were
nominated.
Judge Gray was presiding officer of
the anthracite strike commission,
which last fall and winter Investigated
