MARINE DISASTER.

Paris, Oct. II. feeling of the
deepest pessimism prevails at the min
istry of the marine here on account of
the disaster to the French submarine
boat Lutin, which left Bizerta, Tunis,
yesterday morning for plunging ex-
periments, having on board a crew of
fourteen men, commanded by Lieuten-
ant Fepoux, and which was reported
last night to have disappeared.
The principal hope of floating the
Lutin in time to save the lives Oh the
imprisoned men seems to rest in the
assistance of the Danish salvage
steamer, Berger Wilhelm, which hap
pened to be off Cape Farina and was
Immediately summoned to aid in rails
ing the Lutin.
The Danish vessel possesses ma
chinery capable of lifting 1900 tons
but the submarine boat lies in thirty
fathoms Of wafer and it is pointed out
that the submarine boat Farfadet
which sank last summer in the same
vicinity, but i'm only ten fathoms o1
water, was nine days at the bottom

crew were dead.
Marine Minister Thompson has con.
ceived the plan of trying to get heavy
chains from the forts at Bizerta unde,
the hull of the Lutin and thus liftins
her from the bottom. But it is feared

WAS IN A HURRY.
New Yorker Wanted to Wed at Forks
Too Soon.


Grand Forks, n. d., Oct 17.-When
John G. Barker, prominent resident
of Elmira, n ", made application to
County Judge Hassell for marriage
license to we'd Mrs. Elizabeth Lewis.
he was not aware of the fact that in
North Dakota there is a law forbidding
the marriage of divorced people until
period of six months has elapsed
from the date of divorce. Mrs. Lewis
was divorced in this city Oct. 5, a week
before the application was made for
a marriage license, and Mr.. Barker,
who had travelled all the way from
New York state, was informed that the
license would not issue.
Mrs. Elizabeth Lewis, accompanied
by daughter, aged 13 years, came to
Grand Forks something over year
ago, and very recently started an ac-
tion for divorce from David L. Lewis,
on the grounds of desertion and aban-
donment and failure to provide the
necessaries of life for his wife and two
children, girl of 13 and a boy Is
years of age.
The divorce was granted on Oct.
last, there being no appearance on the
part of the husband. Mrs. Lewis came
here from Elmira, n. Y, and a few
days ago Mr.. Barker put in an appear
ance, and arrangements were made foI
a wedding. Owing to the statute pro-
hiibting the marriage of divorced per-
sons for six months, the marriage viii
be postponed until more friendly
state is reached-and it is not unlikely
| that Wisconsin will be selected, as thai
is the nearest point at which the law
| is not particular as to the time o.
divorce or of a second marriage.

CONTESTS WELL FOUNDED
1T is CLAIMED THAT UNDER THE
LAW THE OLD FORT 1ERTHoLD
LANDS WERE SUBJECT ONLY
TO HoMEsTEADs-soME WAS
TAKEN ON SCRIPT.

Minot, N. d., Oct. 17.--Something of
q furore was occasioned in land cir

eleven others filed contests for twelve
quarter sections of land, which in
clude townsites where several hum
dred people reside.
Powers and the other eleven.
through Attorney M. III. Brennan of
Devils Lake, base the contest on the
ground that the interior department
erroneously allowed entries other than
actual land entries, as provided by
congress within the limits of the old
Fort Berthold Indian reservation.
Under the terms of the treaty with
the Indians ceding the lands the stat
ute provided as did the proclamation
of the president opening said lands,
that settlement only by actual bona
fide homestead entries was allowable.
The lands now contested are all
script lands and it is contended by the
contestants that such entries were alb
solutely invalid and all the proceed
| ings hereunder are void
| original townsites of Berthold, White
Earth and Blaisdell.
Yesterday two more contests were
filed upon land within the old reserva-
| ton boundaries,
Other contests are being prepared
and it is likely that every piece oi
script within the confines of the ole
Fort Berthold reservation will be con-
tested within short time.

Fox of the local landofiice, The ''-4 ''r
representative learned that I'll

Berthold reservation was opened Il
was the intention of the government
to turn the land over only to actua
lhomesteaders, and this was all the ac
provided.
An amendment was passed, which
gave the settlers the right to commute
at $3.50 per acre.
Again the department did not en-
force the law to the letter, having re
duced the price of the Communication
to $1.25.
The contests will be hotly litigate,
!, and the outcome will be watched witt
intense interest, not only by the par
ties primarily concerned, but by prac
tfcally every homesteader in western
North Dakota.
