Little History in Connection with Car.

Little History in Connection with Car.
bon Indian Lands.
The title to a score or more homes
of ranchmen residing in Carbon county
in the neighborhood of Red Lodge
creek has been called into question
by the Indian bureau. These ranches
are under a high state Of cultivation
and have been occupied for nearly
10 years past. The settlers have
only recently discovered that title to
certain lands has never been relin-
| quished by the Indians and now after
10 years Of hard labor in making for
themselves homes they find that they
must either vacate or settle with the
Indians.
When a law was passed by con-
10 years ago ceding a portion of the
Crow Indian reservations, Indians
were allowed to retain certain claims
within the coded section. Many OF
the claims held by the Indians were
subsequently relinquished and i'm
provements were made OF land which
the Indians had not relinquished. Over
five years ago the agent in charge OF
the reservation discovered that the
title to some OF the claims in that
locality was worthless and an attempt
was made to quiet title through the
original Indian holders and the de-
partment at Washington. Immediate
ly a howl went up on the part OF some
Of the settlers. and politicians took
advantage OF the situation by stat
ing to the powers that the Indian
agent had concocted a scheme to rob
a score or more of white settlers OF
their homes, which. they alleged they
had legally acquired.
Now after five or more years OF
hard work and energy in improving
these lands these same settlers are
confronted with the same question
with which they were confronted five
years ago. There are no charges OF
crookedness or collision this time,
although the conditions are the same
as they were then. The Indians have
also grown wiser in the past few
years and now demand more money
in many instances than they original
ly demanded to sign ACCOMPLISHMENTS
on the claims. In their contention
they are now backed by the authori-
ties apd the settlers are notified to
Settle at once or vacate.

RULING FOR sHEEPMEN.
New Order Relative to Grazing on
Forest Reserves.

An important ruling has been made
by the department OF the interior
upon the question of grazing sheep
in forest reserves. Hereafter the hab-
itat of the sheep and non-residence
of owners will be considered in pass
ing upon applications for grazing per-
mits.
The ruling was made upon the ap-
plication of Thomas Painter of Evan
ston, Wyo.. who desired permission
to Craze sheep on the Uintah reserve.
His application was denied by the
supervisor in charge of the reserve
on the ground that Painter lived in
Wyoming and that the reserve was
open only to stock of Utah residents.
An appeal from the supervisors de-
cisiOn was taken to the department
of the interior, through Senator War
rem. and the showing was made that
Painter owned lands and sheep in
utah and had been accustomed to
! dISc liz ouCCP III ldlOo iACiuuCo
in the reserve, before it's establish
ment as such. In view of this pre-
sentation of the case the department
directed the supervisor to approve
Painters application and has an
nounced- that hereafter in similar
cases it will consider applications for
grazing privileges on the line of the
new ruling.

Of the finest in the minstrel line, be-
ing especially efficient in the comedy
element, while it's ~excellency in a

praise, and the olio this season COM
prises some OF the best vaudeville

includes several novelty acts. A most
laughable finale entitled THE Ambi-

NEW FREIGHT RECORD.
Quick Time Between Portland and
New York.

Competition for the honor of hold
ing the coast record has eve been
keen between the different t%ranscOnti-
mental railroads n every year a new
mark is made on the speed table OF
the competing companies.
Report has been received OF what
IS believed to have been the fastest
run of a freight ever made between
the two ear and, as is to be X
pected, the companies over whose
roads the shipment was made are
giving it all possible publicity. The
time consumed was ~ days and six
hours, which beats all records.
On the night of April 16 two cars
of frozen fish left Portland, billed
for Germany. The cars reached New
York at 5 o'clock in the morning OF
April 20. The ship on which the fish
left for Hamburg sailed May 8, so,
it will be seen, but little spare time
was left for r%eloading.
From Portland the cars went over
the Northern Pacific to st. Paul.
where they were given to the Chicago
& Northwestern, which hauled them
to Chicago. At the latter place they
were taken by the Erie Dispatch,
which delivered them at the wharf.
Upon :ece-vi..% tho co.r;gnment tne
connecting loads were in some doubt
as TO heir ability To deliver the fish
in time for unloading and %reloading
onto the vessel, but they saw an OPP
p%ortunity to make a record and the
result was satisfactory to the shipper
and the roads.
The usual freight running time be-
tween Portland and New York is from
Is to 1S days.

THEY RETURNED WINNERS.
Billings Bowlers Come Back with Big
~ Timber ScaIps.

t|u IuIOCI 0&dtESs IT,.
/Not every time that the local bowl
ers go away from home do they re-
turn defeated. The team that went
to Big Timmbe- last Saturday to meet
the champions OF the Sweet Grass
county metropolis came back with an
assortment of scaips dangling from
their belts, and instead Of Grape gaudy
colors now diape the tool chest car
ried by the members.
Probably it vas because they made
a lucky start, for they won the very
first game-by a small margin it is
true, but they won it, scoring IL pins
in excess of the men from the town
OF large trees. The second they cop
ped off" by a score of 80 to the good.
In the third and fourth games they
fell down and allowed their opponents
to win, n by 3 pins and the other
by 20. This left them only n pins in
the lead.
The fifth and deciding game start
ed off badly for the men from the
Magic City and it seemed that they
were destined to return home holding
the small end. They missed many
shots at the outset, but finally pulled
themselves together, while the Big
Timber players began to go to pieces
md when the last pin was knocked
over Billings had won the series and
match. The score stood, Billings,
1855; Big Timber, $3.50, not a record
breaking array of figures for either
side.
The individual scores were:
Billings-Tschudy, 745; Richstein,
900; Ovren, TIA. The averages, re-
spectively, were, 149, 1872 and 142.
Big Timber-Budd, 1888; Stickley,
772; Allen. $50. Averages, 1853, 1874,
1873, respectively.
Another match will be played soon,
when the Big Timberites will come
TO Billings.

SUSPECTS ARRESTED
REVIVAL OF INTEREST IN THE
JORDAN MURDER MYSTERY.
Two Men Observed Trying to Burn
Clothing the Night of the
Tragedy.

Two arrests were made this morning IN
connection with the investigation of the
murder of Mrs Catherine Jordan, co.ored
in Hillsdale, the night before Christmas
Edward Christian and John Jackson, col
ored, were taken into custody by Police
men Osterman, Mccormick and Stewart,
upon information received yesterday that
Edward Christian was seen the night OF
the tragedy trying to burn some clothing
in the yard in rear of his home, l322
Green's court. According to the 1nforma-
ton q the officers, he failed in his efforts
and then buried the garments. The three
Anacostia officers remained at the third
police station all night and made the ar
rests this morning.
Edward Christian was the first to pc
locked up. He was found atsthe place OF
business of his employer on l. street, anu
later. Jackson, who is his half-brother,
was taken in custody. The former was
locked up at the third precinct, while the
latter was taken to the second precinct.
After the two men had been placed behind
the bars Policeman Osterman went to head
quarters and asked Captain Boardman 10
assign detective to work on the case.
Conduct Excites Suspicion.
Detective Hartigan went to Colonial
Beach on the steamer Randall yesterday
afternoon to make an investigation of
report concerning a coiored man whose
action aroused the suspicious of Town Ser
geant Billingsley. This colored man, the
town sergeant Informed Major Sylvester
yesterday, has been hanging about the
marshes not far from Colonial Beach tor
some days. His statements to some Of the
colored people indicated that he had prob
ably committed some crime in this city,
and possibly was concerned in the murder.
The man, it is reported has stated that he
will not be taken alive. Trouble is feared
by the town officer should an effort be
made to arrest the man. Detective Hart1-
gan probably reached the river resort this
forenoon, and Captain Boardman hardly
expects to hear from him before tonight.

COLLIE DOG KILLED.
One of Several Bitten in October by
Admiral Dewey's Dog.

Samuel Einstein, the District poundmaS-
ter, today submitted report to the health
officer relative to the shooting Of a collie
dog in Cleveland Park, the animal being
the property of Mr.. James Sharp Of 31O0
dog was one of the animals bitten by dog
belonging to Admiral Dewey, which had
rabies and ranged over a large territory
last October. He says that the collie at
tackled Mrs. Sharp and one of her sons and
attempted to bite them. The dog was then
confined in a room and Mr.. Einstein was
sent for. He found the dog swapping at
everything in the room and exhibiting what
he declares were undsputed signs of rabies.
He shot the animal and made post-mor-
tenn examination at the pound, finding in
the stomach pieces of carpet and chips of
wood which had been torn from the fur
nishings of the room in which the dog was
confined. The carcass has been sent to the
Agricultural Department for examination.
The poundmaster says that when he was
Investigating the track Of the Dewey dog he
examined Mrs. Sharps collie. The only evil
dence of bite was a scratch over the
eye which had broken the skin. He had
seen the dog three or four times since, but
it had been in healthy condition until last
Saturday, when it exhibited the symptoms
which resulted in its destruction.
The health authorities do not think there
is any doubt but that Mr.. Sharp's collie
was affected by the Dewey dog. Dr. Wood
ward, the health officer, says rabies has de-
veloped in dogs as late as year following
their contact with mad animal. In the
case of the dog belonging to Truck D of the
fire department, 1t was stated that the ami
NAL was attacked by mad dog a full year
before it developed the symptoms Of the
disease itself.

The Troubles in New York.

1t is further set forth that November
last the supreme court Of the state Of New
York being advised of the irregular pro-
ceedings." liberated Mrs Hughes from con-
finement and vacated the order appointing
Mr.. Niles her committee. The court is also
informed that December 2 last Mrs. Hughes
was declared by a jury to be incompetent to
care for her business affairs and property
interests but her condi len was declared not
to be such as to require her confinement in
any asylum. December 10 the complainant
was appointed committee of Mrs. Hughes
estate and authorized to institute suit and
take such other steps as might be necessary
to recover the property and funds of Mrs.
Hughes, of which she had been deprived"
The additional assertion Is made that
Mr.. Niles, with Mrs. Hughes funds, has
bought ground, erected costly stable and
bought valuable horses<and carriag es. The
title to the property, 1t is charged he
placed in his wife's name; She in turn, has
conveyed it, without consideration, to her
brother, and the latter to Mr.. Niles. 1t Is

intent to hinder, delay and defraud Mrs.
Hughes" - -.-

WANTS RECIPROCITY TREATY.
Santo Domingo Anxious to Obtain a
+ Market for Its Suga

eve are very anxious to. negotiate a
reciprocity treaty with the United States,'
said General Francisco Leonte Vasquez,
consul at New York for Santo Domingo. to
a representative of The Star at the New
Willard. Sugar Is our principal product
and the bounty on beet sugar in Europe
has driven our product out Of the markets
OF Europe. We must depend upon the
United States for our market and we are
willing to make concessions in return for a
lower duty on sugar The treaty proposed
is now in the Senate but it has been held
back along with some others of the same
character The question is a serious one
with US. All our taxes are raised by GUS
toms. We have no system of direct taxa
ton even for municipal expenses. Every
province and every city gets a share of
the custom revenues. This makes high
tarin necessary, and we cannot well af-
ford to reduce the duties in order to get
like concession from the United States.
We must find market for our sugar,
however, and that Is of the first import
ance. If we cannot sell our sugar we can
not import foreign goods and pay a duty
on them; we would not have the money
and so this is of the first Importance.
our people were not interested In the
revolution In Haiti. General Nord seems
TO nave the upper hand there, and think
the revolution Is well over. Haiti Is suf-
ftring from the same stagnation, and 1
think most Of the sugar producing islands
are hampered by the condition of the
sugar markets. The wealth of the West
Indies was accumulated under good condi-
t1ons and most of 1t was made Off of
sugar We cannot expect a return of
those conditions, but we would like to
produce sugar at profit. The soil and
climate are favorable to its culture and
1t can be produced there cheaper than any
where else. The new government Of Santo
domingo Is firmly established. My brother,
Horatio Vasquez. is president Of the pro-
vls1onal government. An election has been
ordered under the constitution, and he will
undoubtedly be elected president for the
unexpired term of President JimeneZ, who
mad two years yet to serve. I think the
controversy with the Clyde Line will be
settled amicably. That line has the exclu-
sive right to carry freight and passengers
to and from the United States. 1t is claim
ed that that right has been violated by re-
cent legislation and the American min
lister has demanded damages. I do not
know how the matter will be settled, but
suppose 1t will be submitted to arbitra-
tion."
