TAKEN TO
WHEELING
WERE GIRLS BY HUMANE OFF,
CER-SOME WERE GIRLS
LED ASTRAY.

Officer Sample went to Wheeling
this morning in company with two
girls who will enter the Home of the
Good Shepherd and two children who
will be taken to the Shelter.
Lille Yost, whose fine of S14.20 was
paid by her father, Isaac Yost, yester-
day, was kept in the Marietta Hotel
last night and taken to the train by
several of the ladies this morning. The
girl, as stated yesterday, is only thir-
teen years OF age and comes of re-
spectacle family, who are greatly af-
fected at her behavior. Sarah Taylor,
who is several years older than she,
has a great influence over her and her
parents hope to separate her entirely
from the older girls pernicious influ-
ence. The Taylor girl is still in jail,
but ii is probable that the county au
thorities will turn her over to the
Home in Wheeling to see il they can
not work a reformation in her. The
other girl taken this morning was
Stacy Satterfeld, aged fifteen years,
who for several years was an inmate
of Gen C. L. Smiths homefon Quincy
street. The girl was signed over to the
Society by her mother, who
placed her with Mrs. Smith. Lately
she became incorrigble and was re-
turned to the society, which concluded
that the Home was the best place for
her.
The baby from Morgantown was
brought to this city by the mother
who is an American welded to an |
italian. After placing the baby in the
hands Of our good people she left for
Grafton to join her man"
Little Olive, a five-year-old child |
rom Everson, was brought here yes
erday afternoon and sent with the
,rowd to the Shelter. She was being
greatly neglected by her mother and
Ibused by her stepfather. both Of
whom are Americans, and, as she is
fright and attractive child, it is hoped
hat a good private home will soon be
opnd for her.

VII CON TINUE TO
Hold REUNIONS
UNTIL All. HAVE PASSED AWAY
WAS THE DECISION OF THE
OLD ERS-SEVERAL
WENT TO PARkERS-
= BURG.

The old soldiers finished their work
last evening and most of them have
gone. to their homes. A few are still
visiting friends and relatives in this
. city and the G. A. r. uniform was in
evidence in the crowd which left for
the big Republican rally at Parkers-
F'aIrmont for the next place of meet
ing, short farewell speeches were
made by Comrades E. A. Billingslea,
j. w. Shroyer, J. n. Devore and Mad
3zison Carter. A general goodbye was
given which will be, with some, until
they meet on the other shore. The
soldiers have the highest words of
praise for the way in which they
were entertained while in our city and
are glad that the next reunion will
be held here. 1t was decided in the
meeting to hold reunions of the Ma
rion county association as long as
there are members enough to effect
Ihe organization. While there were
nearly four hundred here in attend
ance, a large number were from other
towns and cities.
Though some pass away each year,
there viii be reunions and meetings
for several years to come. And it is
our duty to do all in our power to
show them a pleasant time while
they are yet with US. The time will
come when these reunions will only
be matters Of history and the cold
marble will be left to mark the last
sleeping place of those who were will
ing to give their all that our country
might live, and to whose indefeasible
va1or it#owes its existence.
S "a great complaint has been raised
by those not in favor of pensioning
our soldiers that the money thus re-
ceived is spent SO often for liquor but
such people could have learned les
son from the conduct of the soldiers
who assembled here. Not more than |
four or five of the four hundred were
seen in a drunken condition.
The people of Fairmont will be glad |
to welcome them back next year and
the succeeding years.

Improvement association last evening

DECISION IN LAND
CASE AGAINST SAGE
Supreme Court Says Home.
steaders Are Entitled to Min
nesOta Property.

The supreme court yesterday gave
its decision in the so-caIled Russell
Sage land cases, involving title to some
$4,000 acres Of valuable agricultural
lands in Southern Minnesota The test
case is decided in favor of the settler
and against Sage the trustee of the
Hastings & Dakota Railway company.
1t is said the decision will result in the
winning back their homes.
The case at bar is entitled Russell
Sage, as assignee in trust of the Hast
pellant, VS.. Theodore Maxwell ct al,
respondents. The case came up from
Swift county on appeal to the supreme
court. The lands in controversy are
within the indemnity belt of the Hast
ings & Dakota railway and are in
Swift, Stevens, Chippewa and Big
Stone counties.
On the decision in this case nearly
$50 other cases pending and nearly
5000 acres of valuable lands, much
of them improved, are involved Home
steaders had settled on the lands after
the railroad company had attempted
to select them in 1883 as indemnity for
lands lost from the original land grant
of 1856
Selections Are Defective.
The court holds that the selections
by the railroad company are defective
and insufficient and that the home
steaders are entitled to the lands by
virtue of their compliance with the
homestead laws of the United States.
The opinion, written by Chief Justice
Start, is comprehensive. The syllabus
says:
The subject matter of these actions is
land lying. within the indemnity limits Of
the federal land grant to aid in the con-
struction of the Hastings & Dakota Rail-
road company. The plaintiff claims title
to the land by virtue of such grant, and
the defendants through patents therefor
from the government. Held, constituting
the grant, that the company acquired no
vested right to the indemnity lands until
the deficiency in the place lands were
ascertained and a selection of lieu lands
from the indemnity limits made. and the
selection approved by the secretary Of
the interior; and, further, that no such
selection as to the land here in question
was ever made until after the land was
restored to the public domain, and the
homestead rights of the occupants thereof
attached.

JUDGE RELEASES A
CRIPPLE And HIS WIFE
Couple Held i'm Jail on Charge
by Butts Are Given
Liberty.

After having been held as prisoners
at the county Jail over night, with no
opportunity to secure bail, George
Terpening, a cripple. and his wife,
Mary were arraigned in police court
before Judge Finehout yesterday to
plead to charge of larceny, preferred
by Charles Butts, a ST. Paul attorney,
with whom the Terpenings formerly
lived. Judge Finehout listened to an
explanation of the case by Attorney H
P. Keller, and released the Terpenings
upon their own recognizance.
Terpening is indignant at the manner
in which he has been treated, and de-
clares 1t is nothing more than spite
work. He was formerly an employe of
the Wisconsin Central, but was Sc
rlously injured and has not been able
TO work for some time. He brought
suit against the road for $4,000 dam
ages, Charles Butts being retained as
his attorney. Pending the trial Of the
case the Terpenings lived with Butts
at CAB Central Park place, but when
the case was decided in favor of the
railroad they moved to Minneapolis
Terpening says Butts became anger
ed because he was charged with being
responsible for the loss Of the suit, and
Tor three weeks never spoke to his
boarders, although he ate at the same
table with them every day.
After the Terpenings moved to Min
neapolis, Attorney Butts swore out
warrant for their arrest, and Thursday
afternoon deputy sheriff brought
them to st. Paul, where they were kept
in jail until yesterday morning. Butts
charged the Terpenings with moving
out part of his furniture along with
their own, but this is denied by Ter
pening, who says Butts has been angry
every since the trial of the personal
injury suit.
