Ok to Be the Features

Street races and baseball will dis
place strike sensations at South ST.
Paul Saturday afternoon, the feature
of the day being a race between a
mule and an OK. The race will be run
on Concord street for a quarter of a

by the promoters that the pace will be
furious.
The afternoon of sports is designed
to offset the seriousness surrounding

butchers and packers, and not over
looking the comedy features, the race
between the mule and the OK, has been
arranged. The mule is owned by
Charles Fitch and the OK by j. b. Fitz-
gerald, these two men having made a
side bet of $50 on the outcome. Bet
ting otherwise is decidedly in favor
of the OK, SO to 81 being offered. There

and free-for- aH broncho running
race.
The last event will be the baseball,
game for the local championship the

O'Farrell, of Butte, Discusses
FrenZied Finance"

Thomas f. Lawson's magazine arti-
cles, 'F'renzied Finance are simply
conclusive evidence. of what we were
telling the Montana public of the
Standard Oil in 1900," said P. A.
OTarrell, of Butte, Mont. who lunch
ed at the Minnesota club with st. Paul
friends yesterday and left in the after
noon for his home in the West.
1--WE were then declaring that not
Rockefeller but II. H. Rogers was the
power behind the throne in Standard
Oil affairs, and also in it's operations in
in Montana copper properties, Public
sentiment in Montana and the West
was not ready to believe what we told
them then, but Lawson's statements
are generally accepted as facts beyond
cavil. Makes mighty interesting read
ing. though, even if the Butte Reveille
did print the news four years ago.
O'Farrell is one of F. Augustus
Heinze's right hand men in Montana
affairs and is the editor of the Butte
Reveille. He was on his way hoInn

The only criticism that can be made
Is criticism of the condition which
has always existed, and that is that
TOO much time is given to rifle practice
and not enough to field movements
There should be opportunity for prac-
tice in, outpost duty, advance and rear

ana similar movements.
1t is of course important that the
cltlZeh soldiers should be taught to
shoot accurately, but it will be of lit
tie use to them to be good marksmen
IL they do not know how to be mane11-
Nefed successfully in defense and at
tack. They will not get the opportu-
nlty TO shoot unless first they get In
position as regards the enemy, and
the rife shooting will be ineffective.
Not Enough Time for Field Work
There is so much rife range il,
camp that there is no opportunity to
get In the more important field mOye~
ments, and an effort should be made
to spend more, time in the field work
and have the rife practice at the home
stations, and use the camp for long
range and skirmish firing. which we
can't get at home.
The work in the camp was inter-
fered with by rain during a day and
half of the stay, and this of course
cut quite hole in the total of ten
days, for every single hour counts.
The only part of the regiment which
got experience in outpost duty was my

RUSSELL SAGE LOSES
Case Involving Homestead En-.
tries Won by Settlers

Judge William Lochren, in the
United States circuit court, yesterday
decided from the bench a case involv-
nesota farmers to lands which, after
settlement had been certified, to the
Hastings & Dakota Railway company
as part of its original land grant.
Judge Lochren held with the settlers
and against the railway company's as
signee. Russell Sage, the New York
financier. -..
The attorney for Sage secured stay
of thirty days on hearing the deci-
sion and will probably appeal the case.
The suit was brought by District At
torney c. c. Houpt Oh instruction by
the department of the interior, WASH
ington. and Russell Sage. assignee in
trust for the Hastings & Dakota Rail-
way company, was made defendant.
The suit was one III equity, and the
lands were claimed by the settlers by
homestead enry, and also by Sage as
d part of the land grant for the Hast
ingS & Dakota.
AT time when contests were pend
ing before the general land office be-
tween Sage and the settlers, the secre-
tary of the interior not having been
notified of the pendency of the con-
tests, by mistake certified the lands to
the state for the benefit of Sage under
the terms of his grant.
The suit was brought by the United
States to cancel the patents to Sage
as to these tracts of land and to re-
store them to the jurisdiction of the
land department that the department
might complete the hearing and deter
mine the question as to whom the pat
ents should issue.
After arguments yesterday Judge
Lochren gave an oral decision in favor
of the settlers. Five of the farms In
volved are in Stevens and one in Swift
county. and the farms have been oc-
cupied and cultivated for twenty years
