Siler Nominated.

A. T. Siler, of Whitley county,
was nominated by the Republi-
cans in convention at Paris last
week on the Doth ballot for Rail
road Commissioner in this dis
trict. This county's vote was
cast by Sanford Garrett, u negro
-well-knOwn to all Clay City peo-
pie. At one time the vote of
the county was contested. This
was before it was observed who
was casting the vote, but when
Garrett stood up and his Ethiop-
ian appearance viewed, Chairman
CIV. Gourley at once recognized
him and without another pro-
test from the delegates.
Siler, the nominee is a school
mate of Prof. Eubank, they hav-
ing attended college at the same
time, and was county Superin-
tendent of schools Of Whitley
the term before the last.
Something a little unusual a.
bout this convention is the fact
that the chairman of this conven-
ton, G. w. Gourley owns a news
paper, and r. r. Perry, j. T.
Wilson and A. r. Dyche are also
newspaper men. Thus the Re-
publican editors seemed to ia
vorites with this convention.

two big boilers and for coal rooms,

PRESIDENT HELD TO HAVE Elk
cEEDED AUTHORITY.
RULING BY JUDGE KNOWLES
Court Decides That Lake Como Forest
Reserve Was illegally
Created.

1t is the opinion of Judge Knowles
of the United States district court
that the law does not give the presi-
dent the right to include in forest
reservations lands that are subject,
to entry.
This decision the judge rendered at
Helena last Tuesday and by it's terms
more than 100 settlers are favorably
affected and Is townships in the Lake
Como forest reserve will be opened
to settlement once more.
The ruling was made in a case in
stituted by the government against
Mathew Blendauer for the recovery of
$28, alleged to be the value of 20 logs
the defendant cut from a homestead
entry and which he wanted to use
in the construction OF a cabin. In
addition to the value of the logs, the
government also sued for damages
in the sum of 500. The court held
that the land from which the timber
was cut vas not public land when
set aside by the president as a part
of the forest reserve and therefore
does not belong to tn reservation. It
was held that the defendant had the
right to homestead the land. In con-
Guiding his decision Judge Knowles
said:
1.-THE president has no power to
declare any lands a part of a forest
reserve, except public lands, and the
term public lands as used in the
legislation of congress, describes such
lands as are subject to the sale or
other disposition under the general
laws"
The land sover which the contro-
versy arose was a part of a tract the
government secured by purchase from
the Indians who inhabited the Bit
ter Root valley: The prchase was
The Billings gazette. [volume] (Billings, Mont.) 1896-1919, 1903-05-22

made in 1855, but because the lands
bought yer held IN reserve until
1871 Judge Knowles held that they
did not become a part of the general
mass of public lands.
Because OF the Importance of the
matter the United States attorney ex.
pressed it as his belief that an ap-
peal would be taken by the govern
ment.
The defense in the case was that
the land claimed by the defendant
in the action was not a part and par
Gel of the public domain, a conten-
ton which the court sustained.

LONG TRAIL
OF FORCERIES
LANDERs SAID TO BE SECOND
WATKINS.
WANTED IN MANY PLACES
Check Passed on Billings State Bank
Returned from Hawaii as
Fraudulent.

AS was expected, the check which
W. Guy Landers. Jr., succeeded in
getting cashed at the Billings State
bank was a forgery.
Last Wednesday a letter was re-
ceived from the bank at Hilo, H. l.,
on which the check purported to have
been drawn. The check was enclosed
with the endorsement that it was
bogus.
The bank also received a letter from
the San Francisco superintendent of
the American Bankers association
giving the information that Landers
had passed a forged check on the
First National bank OF Honolulu. In
addition the letter states that he also
victimized several banks in the west
ern states and that he is a much want
ed man yer on the coast. The re-
quest is made that Landers be held,
ii still here, as the association is ex-
ceedingly DESTROYS of securing posses
sion of him, so that he may be prose-
cuted for the forgeries he is said to
have committed ON the coast.
Landers is still in the county Jail,
where he is serving a sentence OF
SO days for carrying concealed wea-
pons. At the expiration of his term
of Imprisonment he will probably be
proceeded against for passing a forged
check and when the Montana authori-
ties get through with him he will find
himself confronted by the charges
hanging over him on the coast and
in the Hawaiian islands.
AS matters now appear Mr.. Landers
will find a great demand upon his
time for a long while to come.

ELECTED.
School Board Makes Partial seIec-
tons for Next Term.

Wednesday evening a special meet
ing of the school trustees was held
for the purpose OF receiving the re-
port of the committee on teachers
and to elect a teaching corps for the
next term.
Because of the action OF the commit
tee in imposing rules that are consid-
cred a trifle too arbitrary, it is said
that some Of the teachers did not care
ito submit applications tor reappoint-
ment, while in one instance, at least,
so the claim is made, an applicants
petition was withdrawn.
In this connection the suggestion
has been made by friends OF the
schools that the plan adopted by the
Great Falls board could probably be
followed with good results. In that
city all teachers are considered as
applicants for reappointment each
succeeding term, unless special no.
tice is given to the contrary. The
plan is said to be found a good one,
as it prevents MISUNDERSTANDING and
friction, such as are reported to have
occurred in connection with r%eappoint-
ments here.
Those whom the board elected for
another term are, C. S.. Brother, SUI
perintendent; HI. T. Allen, principal
of the southside school; M. Rea Law
renee, Laura c. Freedendall, Laura
B. earns, Mary M. Calhoun, Olive T.
Linean, Daisy OFT, Ella H. Hood, Mar
tina J.. Lusk, Hettie A. Crawford, Flor
nee A. earns, Ella G. McCray, Ma
bel c. Gordon, Cora r. Mccormick,
Lucille Brewer, Augusta Anderson and
Mrs. E. o. Railsback.
A new teacher of sciences was chO-
e in place OF Professor Bannister,
who had made application for reap
pointment, but withdrew the same.
Miss Maud Brown of Iowa City, Ia,
succeeds him.
Counting the usual number of SUBJ
%stitutes, about eight more teachers
remain to be selected. Choice OF
them will be decided upon at a flu
ture meeting of the board.
The board decided to advance the
salary of the superintendent from
$1,000 to $4,000 a year. That of the
principal of the southside school was
raised from 800 to $125 a month.
