New Orleans People Thinking of the
Almighty Dollar.

New Orleans. July 29-The most dis
quieting news in the yellow fever situa-
ton today is the evidence that panic is
increasing in the smaller towns of Louisi-
ana and Mississippi. and that a DISPOSE
ton is growing to revive the disastrous
commercial guarantees of 1897, when
some of the country towns even refused
10 receive ice or hardware from New Or
leans. Several towns in Tennessee and
others along the Mississippi valley road
in Mississippi refuse to allow express
matter Of any kind to be. put off, Port
Gibson will not take bread nor anything
wrapped in burlap that may be shipped
from this city. Some of the Texas towns
are asking that the mails be fumigated.
If the fright spreads New Orleans will
suffer much more seriously than from
the fever itself.
Up to the present there has been no 10
cal apprehension of a dangerous epidemic
and IL was believed that II the boards
of health In other states lived up to their
agreements not TO place any restrictions

MONACHE LANDS
ARE in DISPUTE
Petition by Executor for
Permission to Sell Is
Opposed by Lumberman

An opposition to the application OF
w. H. Metson as administrator for
permission to sell the half interest be-
longing to the estate of Patrick Reddy
in the so-called Monache lands in the
Sierra forest reserve was filed yester-
day by Thomas B. Walker, a Mime
apolis lumberman and capitalist, who
claims to own the lieu land scrip" for
1860 acres Of the lands in question. The
property, scattered throughout the re-
serve, consists of about $500 acres, half
of which under Reddy's will becomes
the property of his widow, Emily
Reddy, and his brother, Edward A.
Reddy. The other half was owned by
Mollie Conklin.
All the persons concerned were will
ing to sell and an order of court was
obtained in September. 1900, permitting
the transfer of the lands to the. United
States Government and granting the
right to sell the land subsequently Sc
lected in lieu thereof.
Walker alleges that the Reddys and
Mollie Conklin surrendered the forest
reserve lands to the Government and
received in lieu thereof the right to
select other public lands outside the
reserves. This surrender was made
through John A Benson, who was in
the public land business. and the lieu
land scrip was turned over to him
as agent with authority to locate OF
sell the same for his principals or to
sell the land thus located. Benson. is
now under indictment at Washington
for frauds in acquiring forest reserve
lands, but the Reddy lands are not
involved in this prosecution.
Between December, 1900, and March
1901, says Walker, he purchased from
Benson the right to locate 1860 acres
paying him S7105, and he believes that
great part of the amount has beer
paid into the estate. Walker has used
his rights TO locate the acres, but has
not yet received a patent from the
Government. He declares that all the
required formalities for the transfer
were observed and he is entitled to the
distribution Of 1860 acres before the
order of sale is made. He also denies
the statements in the petition of Met
son that the sale of the Monache lands
is necessary to pay the obligations OF
the estate
