favoring the bill, and the thirdreading
was ordered, only one or two votes
being heard in opposition.
The term OF Office of the members of
the court of claims expired Wednes-
day. The court has reported its find
ings on the bills referred to them by
the joint committee on claims of the
present legislature
In all there were 80 claims, 80 of
which were allowed. These claims
amount to $2,95l.93 all told Most of
the claims are for the arrest and con-
lotions by police officials and law
y9rs.
Thelargest claim represented was 1884,
GA by Robert A. Blair of Arlington for
expenses incurred in securing the APP
prehension and conviction of Eugene
Sargood and Jack" Doyle for fatally
poisoning two of his colts the second
day of April 1902 at Arlington.
Mr. Blair asked only that the cash
which he has paid or is bound to pay
for successful detective service and
for the services of two attorneys be al
lowed him. The court decided that Mr.
Blair should surely be recompensed
for the money which he has expended
10 bringing to trial and conviction of
criminals of this class and that in view
of all the facts surrounding the case,
the conviction was great triumph to
justice.
Gov Bell says he has at least found
way to do away with the railroad
commission without expense to the
state. Yesterday six women called on
him and offered to serve on the COM
m ssion free of charge if they were
provided with private car.
The House yesterday afternoon

the Bennington probate district and

and ordered to lie and be printed.
The bill is as outlined in the Banner
and is backed by twelve o
the seventeen members from Benning-
ton county.
Representative Bentley of Sandgate
spoke briefly Thursday afternoon in
to the caucus bill on the
ground that it cuts off the democrats
in small towns where there is no demo.
cratic organiza ion from participation
in local caucuses. The Bennington
county memb RS voting in favor of
the caucus bill were Graves, Archi-
bald, Garfield, Farrar, Hapgood
Potter, Randall, Woodward. Those

 Said mineral location notice purport- ed to be signed by Harry B. Mccoy, dated and posted on the land June l, and filed for record Aug. 6, 1904, in the ofiice Of the county recorder. The name of the claim was given as "Diyi- Gen6 Fault Mining Claim" and de- scription of the land therein shows that it conflicts with sad townsite ap- lication.

 1 I concur with your decision. His 1 proper remedy is to be found in the courts and not in this department. His protest was not verified or corro- ] borateG and was therefore informal. i It Is therefore dismissed and his ap- zeal rejected
 g. It was held in Rulings V Ward Townsite % L.

POLITICAL NOTES.

At a Republican rally in Brooklyn, New York R. E. Carrick, a prominent Republican. went clear over the politi- cal dashboard. Carrick was not one of the listed speakers for the meet ing. but his prominence in the past as a Republican and active campaign CT induced frequent calls for him to speak. Carrick created sensation by declaring his allegiance to Parker and Davis.
 For a score of years I have been a Republican, said Mr. Carrick, and have been a believer in protection But when protection is given to such infant industries as the Steel Trust, which is capitalized at a billion and a half dollars, and which has made over two hundred multi-millionaires, all at the expense of the people of this land. I am ready to forego pro tection and join hands with a party which regards American citizens as entitled to as many rights as foreign competitors.
 ~The protection that makes the Am erican pay from 15 to 60 per cent more for American goods than i; makes the foreigner pay is not a pol icy that makes for the good of the country.
 I'm fer the Democratic policy from this night. and shall work and vote for the success of the candidates nom mated at St Louis"

lnspIean ents OF warfare Found Where
Eolya and Kansas Tribes Strug-
sIed for Mastery.

George Remsburg believes he has dis
covered the scene of great fight had
between the Iowa and Kansas Indians
near what is known as Oak Mills, In
Atchison county The Kansas Indians
held the country along the Missouri
river until about the time Of our revo-
lutionary war, when they were driven
away by the Sac and Iowa tribes, which
came down from the north and con-
quered the region. The Oak Mills loca-
tion is supposed to have been the place
Of one of their greatest battles. At this
point, says the Kansas City Journal,
many human bones and implements OF
war have been plowed up.
Kansas has been the scene Of Indian
battles innumerable and almost every
county has traditions of fights Of this
character.
One of the most remarkable engage
ments of the kind took place in COM
paratively modern times between the
Pawnees and Sioux in the valley OF
Beaver creek, near the northwest corner
Of Kansas. The Pawnees were slaugh-
tered in great numbers. the Sioux being
the victors After the battle the Paw
nees returned and cared for their dead
This they did by erecting platforms out
Of poles and branches, and putting the
bodies or them out Of the reach OF
wolves and other animals.
When the first fringe Of the white
settlement had reached as far as Phil
lips county some Of these platforms
were still standing and still supported
the whitened bones Of the dead repos-
ing upon them. A buffalo hunter once
told Topics Of a curious sight he saw
at this graveyard. Some horse hunt
ters" were hunting IN the vicinity.
Horse hunters were those who chased
the buffalo on horseback. and they were
hated cordially BY the foot hunters, "
who staIked the game. because they ran
the buffalo out Of the country.
On the occasion mentioned the horse
hunters stampeded a great herd Of buf-
falo right through the Pawnee grave
yard. They struck the rotten poles IN
their mad flight and sent the bones Of
the dead flying IN every direction. In
deed. when they had passed not a plat
form remained standing. In the years
which followed many passing hunters
picked up skulls and other bones and
carried them away as curiosities-
One Of these skulls was secured BY =
man at HAYS City It was remarkable
from the fact that an iron-pointed ar
-ov had gone through one side and
nearly through the other. People who
had seen the bow only IN ITS toy form
used 70 look al this skull and marvel A.
