LAND OFFICE BUSINESS
Two Cases of Interest Involving
Ely Residents.

Emanuel Autijo. who has been con-
testing the states claim that land
that lie attempted to homestead is a
swamp, has won his point. Word was
received from the department of the
interior to the effect that the states
claim has been rejected and Autiio
is given permission to go ahead and
homestead his claim. The land is in
the northeast quarter OF section 8-6l-11.
Because he possessed a considerable
amount of moLeY, Jacob Lampi, of
this city lost his title to a valuable
timber tract by decision which was
received at the Duluth land office
from the Washington officials Friday.
Lampi made a homestead entry in
Sept. 1901, on claim 40 miles out of
Ely. i'm wild spot, accessible only
by the use of canoes and following of
Indian trails. He built small cabin
and made other Improvements.
Later, Robert J. Gillon entered a
protest, asserting that Lamps house
was poor shack, the roof of which
would not turn the water, and that
he had never planted any crops on the
land nor made other improvements.
Lampi represented in his defense
that lie had planted crops there and
had made number Of valuable i'm
proyements, but tue fact that he was
man of means weighed against him
when the case came up for decision.
The evidence was conflicting. but
the Duluth land Office, after going in
to the case, reported against him, say
ling that while the evidence furnished
by tile two parties disagreed, 'still

been withdrawn from the market for
forestry purposes by The secretary
of the interior at Washington. The
land was withdrawn some time ago
on the recommendation of Gen. G. G.
Andrews, chief fire warden.
The forestry service at Washington
will examine the land with view to
ascertaining whetherit is suitable for
forestry purposes.
In our opinion the forestry service
would do far better job if they would
examine the land to gee if there was a
chance to make farm in that coun-
try and give those desiring to settle
on lands in the state chance.
The forestry and game reserve plan
eliminates from just such people as Mr.,
Weyerhaeuser who sees in the scheme
chance to further the interests OF
lumbermen and rich men who wish a
game preserve. 1t looks much like it,
at least.

SENSATIONAL TALE
John Korby and Wife Form erly
of Ely Furnish Material.

Claiming damages in the sum of
$40, 900 because of John Chesser's al
legged attempG to~alleniate his wife's
affections bring disgrace on his fam
lily, wreck his home life and business,
John Korby OF Virginia Wednesday
instituted proceedings in district
court, in the papers of which his do
nestle unhappiness is laid bare, says
the News Tribune. The record is
fraaght with sensational statements
as is Chesser's answer, claiming that
the case is scheme for blackmail to
secure a satisfaction of mortgage
and the dismissal of a civil suit
against Mrs. Korby for judgement for
borrowed money.
According to the complaint, Chesser
enticed Mrs. Korby to forsake her
husband and two children Sept. /.
1904, and go to Milwaukee where she
remained until she yielded to the. en-
treaties of her husband and returned
home.
Like william in a drama Ctesser is
accused of employing tile art of pre-
tended love and much money in his
effort to separate Mrs. Korby from
her husband. who swears that he al
ways treated her with the love and re-
spect to which she is entitled.
Korby alleges that because he was
temporarily deprived of his wife's So
ciety lie has suffered in mind and body
aud has lost a business which was
worth $500 per month net before his
wife left home.
Chesser's answer is as equally sweep
ing in its charges as the complaint
and any wreck or ruin in the Korby
home is alleged to be due to the hus-
bands dissipation. The charge of
blackmail is also incorporated.
Chesser swears that while Korby
was engaging in drunken carousals
Sept. l, 1901, his family suffered by
his acts, He says that Mrs. Korby
then borrowed $50 from him to secure
a government claim in Washington.
He alleges that the sum has not been
repaid and that he has sued for the
amount which is one of the reasons
that lie is prosecuted.
TO bear out the assertion that Kor-
by attempted to blackmail him, Ches-
ser alleges that lie was importuned by
the former under pain of prosecution
if he refused to cancel mortgage for
$3.50.
On the ground that the allegations
are false the defendant asks the court
to be dismissed without costs.

MONDAYS DoINGs BEST HAD HERE IN
YEARS.
FINE WEATHER AND FINE PROGRAM
GIVEN.

AS if to make up for the preceding
three days of storm, rain and general
disagreeable weather, the clerk of the
weather department. dished out an
ideal day for Monday. Not to be out
done in the efforts to make things
pleasant for all, tile committee hav-
ing the Labor Day or deferred Fourth
of July celebration in charge. furn-
ished a program of sports and races
such as has not been seen here for
years.
The Finn band paraded the streets
during the forenoon and awakened
the late sleepers. Aby one o'clock all
the children of ting town and large
proportion of the kgrown people, not
employed, were on the street prepared
to take part in kthe merrymaking.
The business houses of the city had
all closed for the day and nothing was
in operation with the exception of the
mines, and many ef the miners had
taken day offktO celebrate and
abstain from Labor on the day set
apart by Gov. johnson as special
holiday for the labOring man.
The opening events of the sports
was for children and hundreds of
races were run in Which all took part.
Fifteen of the little and bigger tots
were started at one time and all re-
ceived prize ranging from five cents
to quarter. Nearly 800 were dis
tributed among the children during
the afternoon and the little folks
were happy.
Potatoe, Flag, 100 yard, 200 yard
and three-legged rafes were run as

track and prizes were awarded to all
winners. The larger part of these
were for boys and girls. Sandwiched
between these smaller events were
the races and events for the older ones.
The hose race was won by the two
teams chosen from The fire Depart
ment. The team captained by G.. j.
Mott made the race in % seconds with
|. G. Cox as coupler. Another team
made up of young Firms then tried
the run and succeeded in making it

Game and Forest Reserve.

A mammoth forestry and fish and
game reserve TO be under the super
vision of the state forestry board is
proposed to be established in the vi
.cinity of Lake LeCrolx and Crooked
lake in the northern part of st. Louis
and Lake counties. The tract covers
about 10. 900 acres aud contains some
of the finest scenery in Minnesota and

Onmotion of Frederick Weyerhaeus-

board Tuesday passed unanimously a
resolution calling for the drafting of
"a bill to be introduced in the next
session of congress setting apart vac

tempt, the time was remarkable swift.
Capt. Z. Bergleen and his team with
M. E. Gleason lis coupler, were last to
run getting time at 27, winning the
first money of SIS, Capt. Motifs team
took second, $40.
Frank Pertulla was an easy victor
in the 200 yard race and also in the
100 yard dash. In the flag race, the
team eaptained by Rudolph Chimgar
secured first money. Other races
were run by boys and men and some
excellent time was made.
The browning event of the day was
the tug of wars by teams chosen on
the ground. The first pull was 10y
two teams from among the many by
ISLANDERS which was a very good ex-
hibition of strength and tenacity.
Two teams composed of Firms on one
side and Austrians on the other were
then pulled. In the first pull the
Aus rians secured the pull but not
without a protest from the other side,
it Icing claimed that an extra man
had taken a pull on the line. Another
pull was taken and the Firms came
out victorious. This necessitated an
other pull and the Films again Sc
cured the bout, being declared win
ners. The $40 put up for these two
prizes were well spent as the tug of
war was drawing card and created
considerable enthusiasm.
Several of the events on the program
were called off for various reasons.
The squaw races were not run by rea-
son of there being no squaws in town,
tile duskY maidens having all gone to
-sHe-Basswoeetiake-eoaaSry--eA-s rice
picking and duck hunting expedition.
Other parts of the program had to be
omitted owing to darkness setting in.
In the evening grand pail took
place at tile Vail hall at which "a
large crowd was in attendance, Wag-
ner's orchestra furnished the music
and Matt Jylha did the prompting
An excellent time was INDUCED in by
all who attended.
The celebration was success, all
those having the affair in charge de-
serve credit for the able manner in
which the same was handled.

BASE BALL.
A Good Game Resulted Sunday
Afternoon.

"a SOOu 1du1S NSSoitco Sunuay
Afternoon.
The Ely and Winton teams crossed
bats on the Ely grounds Sunday and
a very interesting contest resulted.
The Winton nine had been ie-enforc-
ed with Seraphine and Woodland, bat
terry, from this city. John Glode did
the umpiring.
The game opened with Ely to bat
and Winton promptly dished out
beautiful whitewash to our boys and
straightway made two ia their half of
the inning. Ely made one in the
second and four in the third innings
while Winton made nothing in the
second and one in the third. Winton
after this did not score until the
ninth when they made two more
bringing them total of five. Ely
secured two more in the seventh,
their score figuring seven at the end.
The exhibition put up was some
thing better than the usual games
have been this season. I. Cox, Alex
Powers and Matt Gleason were the
battery for Ely. Those who played
for Ely were: Gleason, Cox, Holmes,
Cnokling, Purdy, A. Powers, Ed.
Powers, Burgess and G, Sletten. For
Winton: Hughes; Woodland, III.
Byers, Jury, W. Byers, Dugan, Swan,
Forcaie and Seraphine.

weather permit, the same will be
played at 2:3O. A return game with
Winton is also promised besides a
game between the married and single
men of Ely.
