LAND INSPECTION.
County Divided into Nine Districts
and Patents Withheld.

County Divided into Nine Districts
and Patents Withheld.
Washington, Jan. $40 provide an
additional safeguard against public
land frauds, the general land office is
seeking as far as possible to have its
special agents Investigate every lana
entry case before it passes to patent.
This policy, which already is in full
practice, has borne good results, and
patents have been withheld wherever
the slightest ground for suspicion has
been found. The public land service
was not long ago divided into nine
inspection districts. with an agent in
charge OF each. In connection with
the recent land fraud developments,
some interest attaches to the investi-
cation OF alleged fraudulent desert
land entries in Montana, on which
special agents have been engaged.
Senator Gibson, of that state, many
months ago, sent two letters to the
commissioner Of the general land Of
fee, forwarding complaints of citi-
zens that there were frauds in this
class of entries. The matter was TAX
en- up and desert land entries since
then have been rigidly investigated.
The complaints were that the lands
entered were not taken in good faith,
were not being irrigated and were
not entered for cultivation purposes
as required by law. It was stated at
the general land office that the COM
plants were more general than spec
ilic, but that cases of this sort have
been under investigation in Montana
and elsewhere for some months.

WILLIAM HUDNALL DEAD.
Popular and Efficient State Examiner
Succumbs to Complications.

0uNNOIuOo " NVIu SIlNdAiOuos
Helena, Jan. 6.-State Examiner
William Hudnall, pioneer and one of
the best known men in Montana, died
this morning at his home in this city
after protracted illness. Mr.. Hud-
nall had been suffering from a COM
plication of diseases for many months,
but with the energy SO characteristic
of the man through all his life he
forced himself to the. performance of
his official duties until the physical
trouble had made such inroads that
he was compelled to give up his work
and take to his bed.
Mr.. Hudnall was born near Lynch
burg, Va, April II, 1849. He was
married to Miss Harriet M. Arnett,
of Illinois, in October, 1882, and Mrs.
Hudnall, with their only child, Miss
Inez A. Hudnall, survives him. The
funeral services will be held Sunday
afternoon at 2 o'clock at the First
Baptist church and will be conduct
ed by Rev. McNamee, and the inter-
ment will be at Forestvale.
When first he became seriously i'll,
every effort was made to bring him
back to sufficient strength to enable
him to be removed to California, but
this hope was not to be realized. He
gradually grew worse and for some
days his family and friends had been
sorrowfully awaiting the end hat
they knew could not much longer be
postponed. When death came he sank
to rest peacefully, surrounded by his
family and a few friends.
Mr.. Hudnall was born near Lynch
burg, Va, and when five years old
the family removed to Bedford coun-
ty, where he was student in the
public schools until his 18th year.
The young man decided to cast his
lot in the then almost unknown west,
and in 1866 he came to Montana, max
ing the trip by way of the Missouri
river

put in Friday. The bill provides for

commissioners to be appointed as
chairman and one of the members 10

are to be four years. The compcnsa-
tion of the chairman is fixed at $3,-
500 year, that of the clerk at $1,000,
and the t..ird member is to receive

COLORADO CON-
TEST SETTLED
Democrats and Republicans Agree on
Compromise and Dove Of Peace
Perches on Capitol.
ADAMS SWORN As GOVERNOR
Peabody Named Two Supreme Court
Justices and May Later Bring
Contest for covernorship.

Denver, Jan. 7.-Alva Adams was
tonight declared by the legislature TO
be duly elected governor of Colorado.
The returns showed Adams 123,O7S:
Peabody, 113,3O4. Plurality for Ad-
ans, 9,774. A cheer greeted the an
nouncement of the result of the elec.
tion when made by Lieutenant Gov.
ernor Haggott.
The Republican candidates for all
the other state offices were declared
elected. Under the terms of the
agreement reached today by the var-
lous factions in the legislature, no
notice of contest can be filed by Gov
ernor Peabody until after the inaugu-
ration of Mr.. Adams, which is set for
10 o'clock Tuesday morning. 1t has
not yet been definitely decided by
Governor Peabody whether or not he
will make contest.
When the legislature convened this
morning Representative William Grif-
fifth. of Cripple Creek, asked for re-
cess on the ground that ''the white
winged dove of peace is about to light
on the dome of the capitol" It was
nine long hours before the dove caine
down, and many and devious flights
had been made before she lit. 1t was
day given over to secret caucuses,
to conferences, to propositions and
counter propositions. IT was finally
agreed at o'clock in the afternoon
that the vote should be canvessed,
that Alva Adams should be declared
governor, and that no contest should
be made for any office until his in.
auguration at 10 o'clock next Tuesday
morning.
Throughout the entire struggle for
the gOvernOrship the chief aim of both
Democrats and Republicans has bee n
to secure the appointment of the two
new judges to the supreme court. The
question of whether Peabody or Ad.
ans sat in the governors office was
secondary matter. The Wolcott Re.
publicans were insistent in their de.
mands that they be recognized in the
appointment of the judges, and it was
finally agreed that the appointees
should be G. w. Bailey, of Fort Col.
Inns, and L. M Goddard, of Denver.
The Wolcott men made strong fight
for NJ. T. Lewis. of Colorado Springs,
whom they preferred to Goddard, but
they finally gave way. When the Re.
publican leaders called uDOn Cover.
nor Peabody to inform him of the con-
clusions they had reached and to tell
him that his only hope of a second
term lay through contest in the Re
publican legislature they were met by
a wrathful and indignant man. He
refused to accede to their wishes, and
for hours his friends labored with
him. 1t was only the personal plead.
ings of some of his closest friends
that finally induced him to agree to
the plan proposed, and to send the
names of Bailey and Goddard to the
senate for confirmation.

gagged in the trial of the Valley coun-
ty election contests returned from
Glasgow yesterday morning. says the
Great Falls Tribune, bringing the
news that the men who had been
declared elected by the canvassing
board had all won out in court. All
the winners are Republicans.

before whom the cases were tried,
did not cOnfine the investigation TO
the matters alleged, but expressing the
power that rests with the court in
such cases, he ordered recount OF all
ballots cast in the county, with the
result that it was found that each
OF the contestees received more votes
than had been declared for him by
the canvassing board.
On the principal question oil law
involved, whether or not 1t was legal

ers were not to be punished Tor the
commissioners violation OF the law.

Says Reserve Has Not Been Touched
by Fire for Three Centuries.
Washington, Dec. PA document
dealing with forest conditions in the
Little Belt mountains forest reserve,
has just been issued by the depart
ment Of the interior The report says:
"The areas burned over since the
advent of the white man comprise in
the aggregate Ill, 900 acres. The de-
vastation has been wrought during the
last thirty-ffve or forty years, chiefly
since the location of Neihart and Bar
ker mining camps. However, during
the Indian occupancy there we're very
many fires, as shown by the age Of the
forest and the composition of the
stands.
mo large area of the reserve has
remained untouched by fire during the
last one hundred and fifty years. The
most extensive unburned tracts are at
the head of Middle fork of Judith riv-
er and contain 3,O0c or 1000 acres.
They have not been touched by fires
during the last three hundred and fifty
years. Since the advent of white men
fires have been most severe and wide
spread in the two northern tiers and
the most southern tier of townships,
and during the last century and half
of Indian occupancy the most extern
sive burns were at the head of South
fork of the Judith river, extending
across the main divide of the Little
Belt mountains and including most of
the lower slopes of the Musselshell
drainage. The age and composition
of the forest show that relatively more
ground has been burned over during
the occupancy OF the region by white
man than during the last three gener
ations of Indians. as during the forty
years of the white mans occupancy
% per cent of the reserve was laid
waste, and during the preceding one
hundred and ten years IS per cent
was burned over.
