Capt Bent, Inspecting Officer, Says
He Will Put Fencibles Down
on List for the Trip.
Ranks WITH BEST IN STATE.

rHe jefferson Fencible: were in.
pected last night by Capt Nm- Bent
of the United States army ana C
w. X. Surrdge Of the \. kansas sta 2
guard. Tae inspection was 2i1ea
chiefly CT the appearance 3 t. e.
in line and tl.eir equipment, b0t the
drill was a.sa given u. tl-s =st.t..ai
of arms and field movements The
inspection lasted one hour and half
and when il was finished Capt Bent
made short talk to the company
He congratulated them upon the con-
dition of their arms and uniforms and
said the main object of the inspection
was to see how we'll this part of the
equipment furnished by the national
government had been kept Al
Though the company. had the guns for
more than two years, they were found
to be in first class condition and the
company received many compliments
from both inspecting officers on the
way they had been kept Capt. Bent,
in his talk to the company, assured
them that the Fencibles would be
among the first companies of the
state Recommended by him to Cen
eral Haynes, and that they would be
sure TO be chosen to go to the worlds
fair. He said he, had found the COM
panies at Helena and Joaesboro to
be the best companies in the state up
70 the time he had met with the Fen
Ebles, but that the local company
would take rank with either of these
two companies for first place.
At o'clock, First Lieutenant Fred
Vining gave the command to "fall in,"
and every man wearing the regulation
army uniform and equipped for light
marching orders, with canteen, haver-
sack, blanket AID gun, took his place
i'll line. Roll was called by First Ser
geant Bluthenthal, and it was found
that there were fifty-two men in line.
Five were absent, and of these two
were out of the city and three excused
on account CT sickness. AS the in.
specting officers approached, the com.
pany came to present arms and
Captain Pinney took charge of the
company. Captain Bent went about
the work of inspection with no osten-
tation, but at the same time he
looked at each mans equipment care
fully and seemed to take in at a
glance the bearing Of the soldier be-
fore him. Unlike some inspecting
officers, Capt Bent did not try to d S.
concert the men by Jerking their guns
from them or showing them back in a
rough manner. He made thorough
inspection CT the equipment and then
asked for a manual of arms, which
was gone through, Captain. Pinney
commanding.
The company was then taken to
Main street where the marching and
Aed movements were given without
a mistake on the part of any man in
line. After the company had been
marched to the armory, Capt. Bent
and Col. Surridge each made talk,
in which each took occasion to COM
pliment Capt. Pinney on the showing
made by the company under his com
mand The inspecting officers were
warmly received by the company and
when they We're told that they would
be recommended among the first to
go to the worlds fair, the boys broke
into cheer The whole inspection
lasted just one hour and a half.

u. S. Steel Preferred.

Wall street is unable to find any
other reason why the preferred stock
of the United States Steel corpora
tion should advance at this time than
the supposition that conversion of
preferred stock into bonds has been
decided upon. The corporation has
$50, 900, 900 of second mortgage bonds
in its treasury which 1t may, at the
discretion of the directors convert
into preferred stock, par for par. The
per cent dividend on $4,000, 900 of
preferred stock costs the corporation
1000, 900 per annum. The interest
on $50, 900, 900 per cent bonds would
be s5,5O0,00O. II the corpo ration was
to make the conversion it would save
81, 1000. 900 per annum by the operation.
In addition if the purchase of the
stock were accomplished without
sending the price too high there
would be nice margin between the
price paid for the stock and that re-
ceived for the bonds after the CONVEX
sion was made. There has been no
official intimatiOn that such a deal

Criticizes-the System.

A dispatch from Washington OF
Tuesday says: The method of select
ion of swamp lands in coded Indian
reservations by the state of Mime
sofa is denounced in severe terms by
Maj. Scott, Indian agent at Leech
lake, in his annual report to the COM
missioner of Indian affairs. He says:
A claim was made by the state and
allowed by the department. of swamp
lands within coded Indian territory
in tile state. In selecting these lands
the state claimed lands heavily tim
bered with pine. and the same were
Withdrawn from sale when the pine
on the adjacent tracts was sold, On
behalf Of the Indians protested
against what believe to be an un-
lawful and unjust disposition of their
property, and the matter is now being
carefully investigated by the land
department., and patents will not be
issued until the matter is adjusted.
II the state is entitled to swamp
lands it should be restricted to that
class of land. To take land not
swamp now and that never has been,
ana give it to the state after the
same has by treaty been guaranteed
to the Indians, is taking his property
from him without compensation and
giving 1t to the state, which is unjust,
unfair and unconstitutional.
II the state owns the swamps let it
take them, but there Is no justice in
enriching the state at the expense OF
the Indians by bestowing upon it
property which has been guaranteed
by the government to the Indian, and
which the state claims only by virtue
of field notes of survey, fraudulently
and inaccurately made and wholly
unreliable.

Laid at Rest,

The funeral of the late John Baw-
den took place Sunday from the M.
=. church and was an exceptionally
we'll conducted one, it being under
the auspices OF Vermilion Lodge No,
1877, A. f. & A. NJ. The rather hard
but beautiful funeral service, ritual
.istic OF the Masonic fraternity was
gone through with at the grave and
the procession which escorted the re-
mains to the cemetery, headed by the
band, was one of the finest ever wit
messed here. Rev. Swander conduct
ed the services at the church and
spoke feelingly of the occasion, using
as his text, which he announced
would be directed to the living.

The members from Tower arrived
on the noon train and returned that
evening at o'clock on special.

has been in progress but the stock was
selling low long enough to make it a
probability that the corporation has
taken advantage Of it.
An interesting conjecture arises as
TO whether the purchase of 100000
shares OF the stock did not put a lot
of shorts In bad way to recover their
stocks. The supply Of steel preferred
has been large one, but Investment
interests have been attracted by the
price and some large blocks have been
laid away. This, in connection with
large purchase for conversion pur-
poses, would make the floating supply
much less than it was. A scramble
of the shorts would be the most fit
ting explanation of the movement of
the stock.

Ed Jarvi, VINO is held in the county
Jail in contempt of court for failure
to pay judgment ordered last April
was taken before Judge Cant Wednes-
day afternoon for trial, but, owing to
the failure of certain important wit
nesses to appear, the case was ordered
continued.
Jarvi was arrested by his wife and
charged with pon-support. She asked
the court for an order directing Jarvi
to give her enough money to pay the
costs of the case, which was done. but
so far Jarvi has failed to comply with
the instruction.
Jarvi was arrested Ia this city about
a year ago and at the trial claimed he
had given his wife money for her sup
port. The trial disclosed the fact
that the family had received 81 from
him in year.

Big Land Rush.

By far the largest land rush in the
history of the Duluth land office
closed yesterday at noon. Fully $50
applications for homesteads and tim.
Der and stone claims were recorded.
Tuesday, township 62-19 was thrown
open and 125 entries were made, The
line up before the land office door
began to form Saturday evening and
lasted up to Tuesday at o'clock for
lands in this town. Another line for
lands in township 1920 was formed
and Wednesday IS filings were re-
ceived. About so more filings were
received yesterday for lands in town
ship 62-21. Several women were In
the line. in fact the first to file being
woman. and the line was unbroken
for nearly sixty hours. This will
probably conclude the rushes at the
Duluth land Office as the lands in this
district are about all taken up.

HON. r. c. DUNN.
His Good Record in the Virginia
Mining Lease Matter.

Those newspapers and persons who
are for personal reasons fighting the
election of Robert G. Dunn to the
gubernatorial chair on the pretended
ground that through Mr.. Dunn's con-
duct in relation TO lot 1, section 6,
township 5Si, range II, comprising
6.65 acres. the state suffered loss,
are handling fire and will burn their
fingers, says an editorial writer in the
Duluth News Tribune. That tract
has probably within it's borders de-
posit of iron ore, a mine. The state
owns this land today, and it owns to-
day the 1000, 600 tons OF ore claimed
to be under its surface. So it has not
been lost to the state. So the wicked
innuendo that the state has met loss
in respect to this, falls to the ground.
The public records at Duluth, at st.
Paul and at Washington show this,
but the slanderers will whisper on.
If there are 100000 tons of ore on
this fractional forty acres, in due sea-
son the state will receive therefrom
$500, 900. The state has not lost
through Mr.. Dunn or anyone else the
shadow of copper cent ia this con-
nection. In northern Minnesota
these facts are we'll known, but in the
southerly part of the state, where
the method followed by the state in
handling iron lands, is less under
stood, the slanderers are Industrious
ly at work.
1t is pointed out above that the
state has the fee simple and mine
worth 100000 in the land spoken of,
but that is only half the story. 1t is
sure that, but for Mr.. Dunn, the state
would not have dollars interest
therein,
In 1900, F. A. Hyde & Co., scrip
dealers, laid forest reserve scrip on
this land, then unsurveyed. claiming
it to be free government land and not
swamp. These men knew the value
of the land, and right here was where.
Mr.. Dunn, if dishonest, could have
pocketed, not thousands, but tens of
thousands of dollars. The land came
into masket on January IA, 1902. The
states claim was asserted by Mr..
Dunn and contest arose between
Hyde & Co., claiming the land to be
free government land, subject to their
scrip, on the one side, and r. G. Dunn
claiming the land to be swamp land
and the property of the state, on the
other. The case was tried at st. Paul
and, on appeal, at Washington. Dunn
had only to cease to fight and the
state would have lost. He kept on,
blazed the trail, and the result is
that now the state is the owner of
rich mine and the school fund en-
riched by half million.
The foregoing is plain statement
of the facts which can be verified by
any intelligent man. This work of
Mr.. Dunn's will bring him thousands
of votes, and should be kept before
the people. Nothing remains except
the terrible charge that he issued a
state lease on this fraction. Perhaps
it is sufficient answer to this to say
that there is not state forty in
Minnesota suspected of having iron
ore within it that is not leased. The
law provides for it, and it is the best
thing to do. Dunn, Iverson or any
other auditor, must today, as at any
time within ten years past, during
business hours, issue state lease on
any Unbiased state lands to any man

Many WERE SHOCKED.
Freaks Of Lightning During Heavy
Storm in New York.

New York, July During a heavy
electric storm, which swept over the
upper end of New York last night,
lightning started fire in a four-story
manufacturing building, and second
bolt struck a telegraph pole, shocking
many persons who were watching the
blaze.
The building, which is located in East
183d street, was ruined by the flames.
While the fire was at its height the
second bolt struck the telegraph pole,
nearby, and a steel trolley pole a
short distance away became heavily
charged with electricity. Leaning
against the pole at the time was John
Everett, IA years old. He yelled and
tried to pull his hand away from the
post, but the heavy current held him.
A policeman who tried to release him
was also held by the current, and a
dozen others were shocked in trying to
free the boy and the policeman. 1t was
not until an electrician, with rubber
gloves arrived, that they could be re-
leased.

KAW RIVER RISES.
The Packing House Of Armourdale
Under Water.

Kansas City, Mo, July 7.-One-half
of Armourdale, the packing house
town in the suburbs on the Kansas
side, is under water on account Of the
overflow of the Kaw river. The wa
ter is still rising at rapid rate and
conditions approaching the great flood
of 1908 are feared. All last night a
steady downpour of rain fell here and
in many parts of Kansas and to-day
it continued.
The first break in the Kaw
came at Armourdale at midnight
when water began running gthrough
a large dixie built across i new
channel made by the flood asst year.
To-day the water has reached the i've
stock exchange and drove the occu-
pants from the basement floor.
Forecaster O'Connor. however, while
predicting that the Kaw would CON
tinue rising for another "a hours, said
that there hardly would be a repeti-
ton of last years disastrous floods.
He is confident that the Missouri riy-
er will be able to carry off the excess
water without any great damage re-
Sultinc.

Men Who Made Dastardly
Assault Tell Different
Stories Supposed Ring
leader Puts Blame on the
First Man Arrested.

Lancaster, Pa, July Aaron Tim
bers and Jonas Sims, two Of the ne
groes who assaulted Mrs Elsie Bid
die near Burlington, N. j., were ar
rested in Columbia early to-day. At
ter few hours in cell the men con-
fessed that they were implicated in
the affair, but that they had not taken
part in the assault, which they assert
was committed by William Austin,
who was arrested last night in phila-
delphia. The news of the arrest soon
spread and created great excitement
here. The prisoners were brought to
Lancaster to-day and lodged in the
county jail.
Timbers and Sims were interviewed
in the county Jail this morning and
the former reiterated his statement
that there were only three in the
party, Austin, Sims and himself. He
was shown Austin's statement alleg-
ing that Timbers had committed the
assault. This he declared untrue,
and asserted that the crime had been
committed by Austin, and that he
stood in the doorway and witnessed
it. Sims disclaims all knowledge of
anything that transpired upstairs, and
says he never went beyond the first
floor, where he had been placed on
guard. Both prisoners are afraid of
being lynched when taken to the
scene of their crime.

THE BULLOCK TRIAL.
Court Room Crowded Again To-day
When Case Was Called.

New Haven, July 7.-As usual, the
common pleas court room was crowded
to-day when the trial of Rev Charles
5. Bullock of the Neighborhood church.
Stratford, whom Miss Isabella Smaller
of Milford charges with responsibility
for the support Of her infant child, was
resumed to-day. About. two-thirds of
the audience were women from Milford
and Stratford.
Miss Hazel Hubbard of Milford was
recalled to add to her testimony about
seeing Miss Shailer and Samuel Preece,
her brother-in-laW, on the street togeth-
er late one night She produced books
from the business college she attended
to show that she was kept out late
that night.
William H Ward of New Haven. a
cigar and tobacco drummer, testified
that about two years ago he was at an
inn in Stratford when DR. H. M. Clapp
drove up. He said the doctor invited
everybody to have drink and that
after a time the party went to shaking
dice. The stake finally reached a dol
lar "a throw, according to the witness,
and DR. Clapp won $50 The witness
said he asked DR. Clapp how he could
afford to play for such high stakes and
that the doctor replied: "A prominent
man in Stratford has a girl in trouble
and he's paying me money. See?''
In cross-examination the witness said
he had never seen DR. Glapp before that
time or since, but that the conversa-
tion impressed itself on his mind. He
said he had known Attorney Goodhart,
counsel for the defense, for twenty five
years and called him "Jake." Mr. Good
hart characterize this line of question
ing Insulting, and he protested when
Attorney Judson asked the witness
whether he was hard drinker. Mr.
Ward replied to this and other ques-
tions of similar purport that he didn't
know what the attorney meant, and he
was at length excused.
DIR CIapp then took the stand to vert
fly his accounts with the Smaller family.
