LAND Laws VAGUE.
Attempt IL Being Made to Secure
All water Rights ON Uintah
Reservation.

satl Lake City, Utah, July 20.-A
peculiar situation has arisen In con-
nection with the water rights on the
Uintah Indian reservation, soon to be
thrown open to settlement under the
lottery plan. There Is no land on the
reservation suitable for cultivation OK
cept under irrigation. While no person
can file claim to the land prior to the
drawing, and while "Sooners" are
strictly barred from the reservation, It
seems TO be uncertain whether the law
embraces the water rights. In behalf
Of the Indians, who will retain the
most valuable agricultural lands on
the reservation Capt. o. @. Hall, U,
8. A.. has made 20 filings on water
rights which are said to cover practic-
ally all the water supply Of the rsser-
walton. Three private corporations
have been formed and also have filed
on the reservation water rights with
the Utah state engineer. Owing to
the uncertainty Of the law none Of
these claims for water have been APP
proved or disapproved The interior
department 1t lie stated has the matter
under consideration and may protest
against the granting Of the claims filed
BY the private companies. IS

The charges against Mr.. Funston
grew out of the wrecking by dyna-
mite by a temperance fanatic on July
10 Of three lola joints, or saloons, The
explosions followed an agitation
against the saloons, in which Gov.
Hoch was appealed to In an effort to
secure the enforcement Of the state
prohibition law. Intense excitement
followed the act Of the dynamlter, and
for three days the city was crowded
with people, who came from many
points Of the state to view the wreck
age caused and to Join in hunt for the
dynamiteP. During the height Of the
excitement Mr.. Funston, II was Charged,
had made infiammatory utterances to
crowds that gathered about him on the
streets. When Policeman Cannon
tried to persuade Mr.. Funston 10 de.

and Funston was alleged to have at
