Another lot of land entries in the

suspended by the general land office
pending a hearing why the order
should not be sustained. The rumors
Of many fraudulent entries having
been made in that section became so
prevalent that the attention of the

and an investigation was commenced
several months ago that has led to
the unearthing Of gross Irregularities
in making entries both under the
homestead law and the desert land

lists in this city. She is yet only a
child, but gives promise of becoming
a virtuoso by the time she reaches
the prime of life.
The violin with which her father
has presented her is one of the great
ones made in 1925. This was also
the violin used by Ross" the darky
employed by the late Marcus DAILY at
his Bitter Root ranch. The work of
this colored man was to play to the
fine pedigreed horses when they be-

this violin calm the fiery spirit of the
celebrated Hamburg" for whom Mr..
DAILY paid the sum of 100000 and the
equally famous Ogden" who won

Ross was paid the munificent sum
of $25 each time he played to the

the music was successful in calming
the horses and adding to their gentle
