.SOUAITERS MUST
LEAVE LANDS
MORE EJECTMENTS SCHEDULED
FOR CASS LAKE. .
Settlers on "Swede HILL Are Tres

Clapp and Buckham Intervene to

Special to The Journal.
Cass Lake, Mimi, Nov. 2.--Much regret has
been expressed here at the predlcament IN
which several residents of this community have
been placed thru having squatted on certain lands
adjacent to the village which are embraced with
in the limits of the ten sections reserved under
the provisions OF the Morris law forever from saie
and settlement. ''' - .'. .7.s.
The locality is known "Swede hin,' and
when the squatters erected their buildings there
and made it their home, the Morris law had not
been passed--in fact. that measure had not at
that time been drafted and the residents. like,
those squatting section 16 (the Lydick allot-
ment) did so with the hope of eventually being
allowed to file on the land as homesteads or for
townslte purposes
Last fall the boundaries Of the land required
for the ten sections was surveyed, and the survey
showed that several buildings on 'Swede hill
We're within the limits of the land wanted The
department was notified but no real definite;
action taken in the matter at that time.
However, on Oct. 4, this year., the following or
der issued by the general land department at
Washington forwarded to Q. G. Woln, the custo-
dian of the ten sections and by him served ON
the. trespassers.
.s'The act Of congress Of Jan. IA, 1850, as
amended by the act Of congress of June 27
1902, reserves ten sections of land from sale
and settlement, included in which Is a portion Of
section 49, township 145 north, range 81 west.
No authority has ever been granted to any one to
squat settle on these lands and any person liv
ing or occupy ing the land embraced In these ten
sections Is trespasser thereon. 1t has come to
my notice that you residing on a part of lot
g. section IS, township 145 north, range 81 west
fifth principal meridian. Pursuant to instruc-
tions from the honorable commissioner Of the
general land office, I hereby notify you that
you must vacate said land within thirty days
from the service Of this notice, under penalty
| of the law
The notices were served by Mr.. Violin, who
| found that there were twenty families who were
residing on the land. The settlers Immediately
solicited the services of Senator Clapp and Con-
| gresham Buckman in the hope that ejectment
proceedings might be deferred until they could
arrange to move to another locality. The senator
| and the congressman interviewed In their behalf
with the result that the commissioner wrote that
action would be stayed pending an investigation.
The ground has been gone over pretty thoroly
by both Mr.. Woln and special agent Of the de-
partment and it is thought that the squatters
will be allowed to live on the land till spring.

Mitchell, s. D., Nov. M.-The town Of Woon-
socket Is in great trouble over the liquor prob
lem Last spring tine citizens voted against
licensing saloons the coming year and elected as
mayor s. A. Ramsey, an attorney, whom they
expected to enforce the liquor law. While the
new may. was willing to. tackle the job, he
has the hardest kind OF proposition to enforce
the law.
At the outset he had three members in the
council who refused to cooperate In the passage
of an ordinance making it illegal to sell intoxi-
eating liquors at retail, and as a result there
has been more or less liquor sold on the blind
all kinds of liquor dispensed with a free
hand. Mayor Ramsey caused arrests for Illegal
liquor selling and the cases will be heard at the
December term.
week ago Mr. Ramsey secured a temporary
Injunction from Judge Smith of this city restrain
ing the Business Mems club from operating. The
court gave the order, and for week the town
was dry. The order for permanent injunction
was made returnable and Mayor Ramsey was in
the courtroom with Thomas Null of Huron and
N. B. Reed Of Woonsocket, looking after the
other interests in the
Mr.. Ramsey admitted that he did not have
the authority Of the city council to establish
this suit, which was begun In the name of the
city Of Woonsocket. The mayor made no effort
to secure consent of the council to empower him
to commence the suit, we'll knowing that three
members would oppose him. Under the circum:
stances the court dissolved the Injunction.
Mr. Ramsey appointed policeman who Is ac
tive in ferreting out the illegal liquor selling
and for this the three councilmen refused to con
firm the appointment. When the officer com
dermen will make attempt to defeat him.
When the term of circuit court convenes Dec
13 there will be at least dozen cases to be
tried for Illegal liquor selling.

BRONSON VS BURPEE.
Attorney to Bring Another Suit
 Against the Judge.

Attorney Bronson has begun an- other suit against Judge l.. +. Burpee to collect from him certain money which he claims the judge ought to have belonging to the estate Of the late George Tompkins. This time MT Bronson claims $5,OOO damages. A few months ago the supreme court decided he. had no case against the judge. But MT Bronson thinks lie has found another avenue by which he can get at him.
 few months ago during the ab- sence of Judge Burpee from town, MT Bronson filed petition in court for the appointment of an administrator on the estate of MT Tompkins. At torney Lawrence l.. Lewis, MT Bron- sons partner, was appointed and it is as his counsel he has brought this suit.
 In the first suit he was counsel for George Atwood, who married a daughter of MT Tompzins. The lat ter died about twelve years ago and Judge Burpee as counsel for the heirs, settled up the estate. Atwood claimed he never was given his DOT ton. and the wonder was why he re- mained silent so long when he could have seen Judge Burpee any day, for he lived in WatertQWn.

THE COMFORT STATION
 NOT YET CONSTRUCTED

Many would like to know what the board of public works intends to do with the 5000 appropriated for the construction of comfort station, but the question seems to be as much of Il puzzle as the disposition of the S5,- GOO set aside for patrol wagon. If this money was not needed for the purposes mentioned 1t was bad policy to raise it. It may be converted to other uses that would rot have been thought of if the funds were not avail able. When the question of transfers comes up later on these two items will catch the eye Of the officials and it
 may be decided to use the mony for something else. The same thing might be said with reference to the north end fire house. It was said last fall when the money was asked for that the house could not come too soon and that if the money to build 1t with was available it would be taken hold of without delay. They have the money since last January, but the building has not yet been started What pris vate corporation would raise $25,0O0 or $3O00O and keep it idle whole year?

A NARROW ESCASE.
Farmer Found Imprisoned In a Bed
 of Quick Sand.

Ridgefeld, Sept 21.-Theron C.. Hoyt of Farmingyille, a suburb of this place, and prominent farmer and former business man of Ridge field, had a very narrow escape from horrible death last night, as result of which he is completely unnerved, and as he is over 50 years of age the shock may prove fatal.
 Late yesterday afternoon MT Hoyt started in search of some young cattle which were lost. As he did not return at 6 o'clock his family became worried and few hours later searching party was formed and began a search through large swamp which is situated short distance from the house and 1,5OO acres in extent At a late hour last night MT Hoyt was found almost in an exhausted condf- ton, up to his armpits in a quicksand with which the swamp abounds. Af- ter an hours hard work MT Hoyt was rescued and when the party reached home early this morning he was in an unconscious condition. His phy- sician says that his condition is very serious.

OLD STONE HOUSE
 MUSEUM NOW OPEN

Guilford, Sept 21.-The state his torical museum, formerly known as the Old Stone house, was formally opened to-day with elaborate exer- cises, prominent persons from all parts of the state participating. The Society of Colonial Danes of Con necticut, the Connecticut Historical society and the New Haven Colony Historical society were also largely represented.
 Lieutenant Governor Roberts was to be one of the principal guests but he, was unable to attend because of illness ThdA state was represented by Rollin $. Woodruff of New Haven, president of the senate.
 The opening of the museum com pletes the work, so far as it is possible to do 1t, as 1t was when Rev Henry Whitfield of Ockley, in Surrey, built it in 1889 to serve as a residence, school house and church for the settlers of the town.
