STRUCK BY ST.
PAUL ENGINE

Felix Wallach, former town trea
surer of the town of Sieel, was STRUCK
by an engine on the Chicago, Milwan
kee & ST. Paul railway crossing OF
the Sigel road near the north city
limits on the west side, Monday even
ing and was badly bruised as result
He was going home at about five
O'Clock and in SO doing was going
almost parallel with the tracks. A
switch engine came up behind him,
and bis fur collar being turned up,
he was unable to hear the approach
Of the engine.
His wagon Jolting over the rough
roads also made noise that helped
keep the sound of the engine from
coming to him. and he knew nothing
of the approach of the train till it was
upon him. The horses had gotten
across the track and were uninjured,
but the wagon was struck, fairly,
Wallach was thrown out and onto the
track, and almost stunned by the
force of the fall. The last he remem-
bered was his trying to crawl off the
track. When he regained conscious
ness, he was being cared for by the
train crew. His wagon was ruined,
and the horses crowded into a corner
of the crossing fence. Though badly
bruised. his injuries will not be
serious.

FIRE ESCAPE i
AND DISCIPLINE

At the last meeting of the school,
board on Monday evening, at the Lin.
coin building, after allowing bills,
the committee on buildings and
grounds recommended the purchase OF
fire escape to cost S54U to be placed on
the east end of the Lincoln building,
in harmony with the order OF the
factory inspectors of this state. While
the board diSliked to incur this ex-
pense at this time, they were COM
PEELED to. under the state law.
The superintendent reported upon
cases of discipline in the high school
and eighth grade and the action taken
IN each case. After the reading OF
the report, it was moved and carried
that the action taken by the superin-
tendant and teachers in the suspen-
sions made, be approved by the board
of education, andsthat further action
by the board regarding the re-instate-
ment of any pupils suspended will de-

WHO OWNS THIS
PIECE OF LAND?
Indian Holds Government Patent:
Others Hold Tax Certificates.

One of the descendants of Poor LO
in Wood county is in quandary as to
who is owner of two fortieS OF land in
the town of Remington; to be more
explicit, in sections one and two,
township q north, range three east.
The particular Indian who is inter-
eSted in this piece OF land is John
Walker, son-inlaw Of Long Thunder,
the former resident Of the land in
question. Walker married Long
@Thunder's daughter, and when the
old man died year or SO ago, Walker
cane into possession of the two fOrties
Through his wife.
Long Thunder held the land under
patent issued by the United States
government, and signed by William
Mckinley as president. The patent
was issued in 1897, and one paragraph
in it's contents declares that the land
n0w claimed Dy Walker, and originally
held by long Thunder, ''Shall be, for a
period OF twenty years, exempt from
all taxation" Long Thunder did not
have his patent recorded in the
county SO the county officials did not
know of the exemption clause therein
and the land was included ia the tax
sales in both the 1904 and 1905 sales.
Aaaong those who hold tax certii-
Gates against the eighty acres. which
certificates were purchased at these
sales, are Joseph Hesser of Reming-
ton, and Frank Rourke and Lawrence
Ward Of this city. In view of the
fact that one or several held tax
certificates against the land. it appears
from Walkers story that al least one
sof Ghe holders tried TO oust him from
the property, in spite OF, or perhaps
10 ignorance of, the government pat
.ent.
Walker, not understanding this
phase Of the paie-face law came to the
city Saturday and going to County
Treasurer Phillip Bean. asked what
ne (Walker) should do TO retain
possesssiOn of the property held by
glm. Not understanding just what
Nonld settle the matter, the county
treasurer told the Indian that the
patent was, of course, good enough
title 70 the land, and would over come
any other claim to the same. He 2d-
vised Walker stO have the patent
recorded in this county SO that the
land would not be included in further
sales in the futpre, Which wwas done.
Walker did not understand this
seeming unstability in the pale-faee
law and to be sure that no trouble
