STARS ARE WITH THEM
Nine Used by Navigators to Find
Their Place on the Map.
Milwaukee Free Press.

milwaukee, Free Press.
There are nine eminent nautical
stars considered by navigators," said
w. M. Herbert of Boston. "They are
OF the ship at the time the observation
is taken, calculated by their distance
from the moon. The stars are Alpha,
Arietis, the principal star of Aries, but
Of the second grade; Aldebaran, first
magnitude, in the rich asterision Of
Taurus, easily distinguished by its red
color; Pollux, second magnitude, in
Gemini, readily known by its compan-
ionship with the brighter Castor; Regu-
Leo (hence often called Cor Leonis,
frst-class star in Virgo, remarkably
conspicuous from being insulated in a
dark surroundinf field; Alpha Aeuilae
generally known as Affair, first magni.
tude; Alpha Pegasi, second-class, usual
ly termed Narkab; Antares, first mag.
nitude, in Scorpio, distinguished by it's
fiery red color; Fomalhaut, frst-class
in Piscis Australis. These stars are
conveniently situated with reference tc
the moon s path, and are used for TAX
ing tables on lunar distances by makers
of nautical almanacs, in order to enable
vessel masters to deduce their longi
tude. The distances Of the center OF
the moon from some of the nine con
spicuous stars near the ecliptic are com
puted with the utmost care for every
three hours during the year at Green
witch. When on teh broad ocean thu
navigator finds his position by marking
when such a lunar distance, set dow
accurately in the almanac for the da,
and hour, occurs, as seen from his owl
vessel, and deduces thereby his where
abotus on the watery waste.'

FIVE TRACTS VALUED AT
$4,000 INVOLVED IN
LITIGATION
WIN OUT
Local Land Office RecSiVes
Secretay'S Decision.

Five Of the most important land con
test cases ever tried in Oklahoma have
Just been decided by the secretary Of
the interior department, involving FIVE
tracts Of land ner Ponoa CITY, valued
al. $4,000
The cases are as follows: Mckee
VS.. HaYt shorne; Hartshorne VS.. sprow;
Haytshorne VS.. Martin; Hartshorne VS..
Lewis aad Yong, and Hartshorne VS..
Morris.
The Hartshornes are all related and
took the land, which lies in the rich
valley of Bodock creek, twelve years
ago. at the opening Of the Cherokee
strip. They made the run from the
Ponca reservation and this was one Of
the principal grounds upon which they
we're so strongly contested.
The secretary Of interior bold that
their run from the Ponca reservation
was legal. that they were not sooners,
as alleged, and that they were entitled
to make entry.
The case has been in court for
twelve years and has cost thousands
OF dollars attorneys fees. In one Of
the cases there were 300 pages Of
testimony taken and in each of the
cases the testimony ranged from 500
up to 1000 pages Of typewriter mat
ter
Since the cases were begun two OF
the contestants, Lewis and Morris
have died. Ransom and Boles, of
Perry, were the attorneys for the
Hartshornes.
Today the Hartshornes were IN
Guthrie perfecting their entries on the
land and preparing to hle cases against
the contestants to eject them and get
full possession. In the twelve years
since the opening both the contestants
and the contestees have been living OF
the lands.
Another interesting case has jus
been decided by the local office. It il
the Edwards vs. Norris contest IN
volying land near Ponca City. Tn
charge made by Morris was that Ed
wards made the run for the land iron
the Usage nation. He won the cor
) test
The local land office also gave dc
. cision today in the case Of Gardiner VI
- Alexander Youries' heirs. This COZ
test involves land near Perry and tn
town of Sumner is located on It. IN
charge made against the Youries heir
was that they sold the land betoT
making final proof The decision rel
dered today was in favor Of tn
!, Ycuries' heirs.
