D0SS ESTATE VALUED
At LESS THAN $1,000.
Appraisement of Diamonds Not
Made in Report on Estate.

Made I'm Report on Estate.
The total value of the estate of
James L. Doss. the gambler who was
mortally wounded in the shooting af-
fray Of nearly a year ago, has been
appraised at only $4,52S.13.
The appraisement was filed yester-
day in the Court of Ordinary, near
ly six weeks overdue. The appraisers
were Messrs. T. F. Screven, John Ly-
ons and Hal H. Bacon.
OF the total amount the sum of
$2,91263 was in cash. A note, secured
by mortgage, for $1,000, and an unse-
cured note for S20.50. were found
report of the appraisers does not state
by whom the note had been made. The
other property, consisting of the dead
mans watch and chain, his pistol and
several other smaller articles, are val
ued at a total of sos.
With the appraisement Maj. ]. Fer
ris Cam, the executor of the estate,
filed his reasons for the delay in MAX
ing the appraisement, stating that the
estate was so scattered it was impos-
sfble to get an idea of it's value at
any earlier date. In commenting on
the diamonds and other jewelry which
Doss owned, the executor states they
were in the possession of Electra Nc
Cullum and that she had declined to
turn them over to the estate on the
ground they had been given to her by
Doss before his death.
In making oath to the said APP
praisement," says Maj. Cam, your
petitioner desires to state to the court
he was informed that certain diamonds
were in the possession of one Electra
McCullum and which 1t was believed
belonged to the said James L. Doss.
The said Electra McCullum, however,
through her attorneys, claims said dia-
monds were given to her by the said
James L. Doss prior to his death, alb
solutely, and that said estate has no
interest whatever therein.
Under the terms of the will all dia-
monds belonging to the said James L.
Doss were bequeathed to the said Elec-
ira McCullum as a special legacy and
as there appeared to be ample residue
of the estate to pay the debts thereof,
your petitioner has not deemed it wise
to enter into what might prove pro-
tracted and perhaps unsuccessful liti-
cation merely for the purpose of re-
ducing said diamonds to possession, as
they would have to be turned back to
the person now holding them under
the terms of the will"

CONTRACTOR ASKS
BOARD TO REMIT FINE
Failed to Complete Building In Time and
$500 Was Deducted.

The state board of control spent all of
yesterday afternoon in hearing evidence
in the claim of W. H. Merritt, of Moor
head, for an alleged unpaid balance on a
building erected in connection with the
state normal school at that point.
The amount of the claim is about 1900
and represents a fine for the failure of
the contractor to complete the building
within the specified time. The board held
that Merritt was five months beyond the
contract time, but deducted fines for but
two months. The contractors case was
presented by Senator T. H. Peterson, of
Moorhead. No decision was announced by
the board.

a positive denial, asserting that they are

LAYTON, o. r., March 5.-Advices
from Fort Sill late tonight state that the
military reservation north of Fort Sill
is burning and a strong north wind is
blowing. The Apache Indians, who are
prisoners of war upon this reservation,
have been ordered to the front as fire

the fort tonight and all soldiers are in
readiness to go out to fight the fire. No
great fear is expressed for government

On the contrary they are for the most
part men who have been extremely
friendly to organized labor. We take
the position-that is, majority Of the
members Of the assembly does-that
in their votes on the gas franchise they
did not act in the interests of the city
and of organized labor. That is SIM
ply the test. Several of these men
have in the past given organized labor,
when opportunity presented itself, very
fair and kindly treatment in munich
pal matters. We have no quarrel with
them on any other score than their votes
on the gas franchise. The question was
thoroughly discussed in our meetings
and that was the sole reason for their
being put on the list. We esteem these
men highly and feel very grateful for
favors in the past, but we regretted
their action in showing Indifference
when we protested to them through our
committees against the passage Of the
