LAND DECISION
Of Interest to Settlers.

The Commissioner of the General
Land Office at Washington has lately
handed down a decision in contest
case that is of considerable interest to
entrymen in Morton county. About
year ago Fred Graf, Jr, of New Salem
through Voss and Hanley of this city
brought contest against the entry of
Neal c. Jenson, who it appeared had
been holding down claim north of New
Salem for speculative purposes and
although he had built house on the
claim, had never moved his family from
Minnesota. After the case was tried at
Bismarck, Jsnson, realizing that he was
going to lose the claim, relinquished the
entry and Immediately applied to be al
lowed to make second homestead entry
for the same land under act of April 20,
1904, which allows an entryman to make
second entry for land when he has been
prevented from completing his first
entry through unavoidable business COM
plications. The REIMBURSEMENT of the
entry gave.a preference right to young
Graf to file upon the land, which under
the law he must exercise within thirty
days or lose his rights. Graf could not
file on the land during the thirty days
for the reason thatthe was minor and
would not become of age until some
four months later, and Jenson made the
REIMBURSEMENT believing that because
Graf was a'minor he could not get the
land. Graf thereupon through his at
tomeys protested against. the allowance
of Jenson's application for second entry
alleging that Jenson's move was piece
of sharp practice to cut Graf out of his
rights. The Washington Land Office
has now handed down a decision sus-
tanning this position and laying down
the new proposition of law that during
the pendancy Of a contest no application
will be allowed for second homestead
entry for the same land on the part of
the party contested. The land is val
liable quarter and will now go to Mr..
Graf, he having become of age during
the tigation.-Pioneer.

Pearl Sloan Killed.

News came to Dickinson Sunday
morning of the death Of Pearl Sloan at
at the D z ranch on the Cedar.
Mr.. Sloan went out with another man
about 6 o'clock in the evening of April
"a to get the saddle horses which were
grazing short distance from the ranch.
He came in first and was unobservedIby
two men working back of the hay stack.
The second man came in soon and en-
quired for Pearl. A search was made at
once. The horse, young broncho, was
found outside, but his rider was missing.
Someone went into the big cattle shed
and there found the lifeless body Of
Pearl Slsan, his skull crushed.
The horse, from fright or meanness,
evidently came down the hill at break
neck speed, entered the yard and ran
into the shed, in which there are many
posts. The body was found we'll back
in the inclosure and the chances are that
poor Pearl Sloan lodged many of the
posts and finally becoming dazed, swung
to one side and was instantly killed.
Pearl Sloan was about II years of age,
unmarried, and had resided in this state
for some years. He had worked for
Messure & Simpson north and Billy
Stevens south and at other ranches, and
was very trusty man.
Charles Hartinger, foreman of the D
z ranch, was in Dickinson and received
the news of the shocking death over the
telephone from New England. He at
once wired Charles Sloan, brother O. ..de-
ceased, at Whitewood, South Dakota.
The body was shipped to the only
brothers home Wednesday night.
A sister of the deceased resides at
Sturgis, S. D., but it is understood that
the parents are dead.
Mr.. Hartinger speaks very highly of
the young man and deeply regrets the
accident.
The Stark county coroner was taken
to the scene of the accident :and, after
carefully viewing the body at the place,
decided that it was unnecessary to hold
an inquest.

ANTHONY HOPES NEW STORY.
"Sophy Of Kravonia,' Said to Be More
Thrilling than "Jhe Prisoner Of Zends.'
to Appear SearilIy.

Thrilling than "Jhe Prisoner Of Zends.'
to Appear Sesrilly.
Good news for lovers of stirring
romance! Anthony Hope has written
a new story in the style of "The
Prisoner of Zenda," and even surpass.
ing it in interest. 1t is called "Sophv
OF kravonia" and is to appear ex-
clusively in the Sunday Magazine of the
Chicago Record-Herald, beginning
April 22.
The mysterious country OF Kravonia
lies in the same romatic region of
southern Europe as Zenda. but the new
story has no connection with that Of the
famous Rudolph Rassendyll. Its
central figure is still more interesting
persona courageous and beautiful
heroine. who rises from lowly life to the
throne. Sophy de Gruche is her name,
and she loves the brave but unfortunate
Prince Sergius, as she proves in
series OF the most exciting events in
modern fiction. Her trials and
triumphs are due to the existence of
two factions in the court. One is loyal
to the true heir apparent, Prince
Sergius, and the others seek to place
upon the throne the little son of
Countess Ellenburg, the kings
morganatic wife. The conspiracy leads
to many dramatic scenes, one of the
most thrilling being that in which the
old king discovers the guilt of the
countess and drops dead at moment
when things are in perilous condition
for Sergius and his bride. How Sophy
comes out of this turmoil of intrigue.
battle, tears and joy. Anthony Hope
reveals in his own inimitable style.
The first installment of "Sophy of
Kravonia" will appear April u. On
account of the great demand for this
fascinating story it will be wise to order
your copy of The Sunday Record
Herald we'll in advance. 1t

Vanilla.

1t is curious to read that vanilla was
employed by the Aztecs of Mexico as
an ingredient in the manufacture OF
chocolate prior to the discovery of
America by the Spaniards and that II
was brought to Europe as a perfume
with indigo. cochineal and cacao ten
years before the arrival Of tobacco on
our shores. The name vanilla Is de-
rived from the Spanish vaina, a pod or
capsule. Dampier described 1t as
little pod full of small black seeds and
like the stem of tobacco leaf, so much
so that bis men when they found the
dried pods at first threw them away,
wondering why the Spaniards should
lay up tobacco stems" - Chambers

THE TWINS, 2; AUGUSTA 1.
Hard fought Game Won Out in Ninth
by Waterville- Fairfield.

Waterville, Me, Aug. 9.-(SpeciaD.-
Waterville took from Augusta Thursday
afternoon a hard-fought game, winning
out In the last of the ninth inning by ont,
score, TO l. II was PLAYED by silted-
down aggregation of as fast set of men
as ever chased a baseball over the Colby
diamond and was a great game to watch
1t was anybody's game until the ninth,
when lucky hitting brought in a winning
score for Waterville with but one man
down Jones kept himself well In COM
man1, allowing but two hits, one OF
which happened in an opportune moment
to bring in a run. He was supported by
errorless playing and the manner in
which the ball flew from one man to
another in the infield was spectacular in
the extreme. Hoye. Waterville's new
second baseman, has certainly been
there before" He accepted three very
difficult chances, winning al each time
the admiration and the applause of the
grand stand. Burke was the star man
on the diamond and did phenomenal work
in each of his six chances. Without
man of exceptional ability, Natervllle
could not have won the game.
The Unfolding of Augusta was certainly
clever and snappy. Misfortune marred
her work to some extent and the errors
for which the men were responsible were
such which any fair minded observer
would sparingly criticize. The fatal er-
ror of Twombly in the ninth, however,
is an exception to the above.
The game received its first impetus
from the three Dagger by the first man
