Under the present conditions 1t

than a few thousand acres of this land,

leases, but the leases on about 40, 900
acres expire Jan. /, 1905, and there
will then be an opportunity for offer
ing a large part of the tract. In the
meantime the members Of the state
board will have ample time to look

tracts which need a change in mini

There Is practically a million and
a half dollars of state property in
volved, and the board does not be-
lieve in being too hasty in disposing
of it. After a thorough investigation
the board may decide to offer some Of
these lands late the present year, as
the contracts on such sales will not
interfere with the leases which expire
the first of next year. At this time 1t
would be impossible to investigate the
land thoroughly.

ROBBERS AT WORK AT MILLER
Two Crimes Committed in One Night-A Youn!

This is the question that that is puZ-

Pilchner's story and the circumstances
surrounding both occurrences lead to
a confirmation of the growing belief
that a oma in male attire and with
the nerve Of the coolest masculine
desperate committed both crimes.
Hattie Pilchner fully believes that
she was shot by a woman. She was
not seriously wounded. but says, she is
sure 1t was her ~assailant's intention to
more than simply wound her.
Hattie Pilchner, who is a pretty
teacher in the town school, was called
to the door of her room at the Hen.
shaw hotel, and when she opened the
door a revolver shot was fired so
quickly that she does not even know
whether it was a man or a woman at
the door. She fell and instantly was
pushed inside the door and chloro-
formed. The wound was not danger

the assailant got out of the house be-
fore his identity or purpose was dis
