SHOSAON| RUSH IS ENDED
LAST TRAIN TO RESERVE PASSES
THROUGH NORFOLK.
1t is Said That Land Office People Be-
Ieve Some New System for Dispos-
ing of Indian Lands Must be Adopt
ed by the Government.
rFrom Mondays Daily.l

The last train carrying passengers
to Shoshoni for a chance to register
in the government land lottery there,
passed through Norfolk over the
Northwestern road last night. It was
the regular Black Hills train, running
in only one section, and 1t will get
passengers to Shoshoni tomorrow in
time to register before 6 o'clock in
the evening, when the booths will
close.
1t is said that at the maximum esti-
mate, the registration will not exceed
5000 tomorrow night, which is less
than one-tenth the crowd figured on
by the railroads. The registration at
Shoshoni last week was slightly great
er than that of the week before, being
3,093 as against 1927. 1t is said that
the registration at Shoshoni is about
as great as at the other three registra~
ton points combined.
Moody Death Accidental.
Gambling sharks and restaurant pro-
pretors are said to have found the
crowds woefully disappointing. The
best of order has prevailed since the
night of the Moody murder.
A Northwestern railroad official, re-
turning from Shoshoni, said that it
was his opinion that Moody was killed
merely by an accident and that a gang
of burglars was responsible for it.
He thinks that these thugs, leaving
town after robbing the postoffice, were
met by Moody and, fearing that he
might suspect them, shot him and then
shot the man who stuck his head out
of a tent. He Says that the gambling
has kept going right along, but that
there has not been much big play.
Land Lottery Days Gone.
1t is said to be the opinion of land
Office officials at Shoshoni that after
this drawing is over the government
must seek some new way of disposing
of Indian lands. Although railroads
have made better than one cent a
mile rates, the crowds have proven a
frost just as those in the Crow re-
serve.

Made Famous by Byron
Castle of Chilon lmmortalized by the Glorious
Verses of the British Poet

ST. exalted is the place held by the
Castle of Chilion in the minds of read
era of Byron and lovers of travel, that
thousands visit 1t yearly. and look
upon II as a sacred monument to the
po,t and to Downward, the patriot,
who. but for the chance detention of
Byron at an inn ut Ouclry, a village
OF, Lake Leman, not far from Chillon,
would long since have been forgotten.
Pyron improved his time while
st.r inbound for two days by writing

he bought the story a myth, and he

thing contained in the store room of
that hotel had been mercileSsly
attacked for several days, and even the
foundation of the building itself was
threatened. Armed as aforesaid he
sought the regions below on this
particular day and soon there was a
terrible din of battle. Boxes began
to slide across the floor, barrels were
rolled from their resting places,
potatoes spattered on the side walls
with the soundsof spent bullets. and
