TROUBLE OVER SALOON
Thomas ?. Mclaughlin Claims He Has
 Been Deprived of Earning Livelihood.

Thomas P. Mclaughlin ran a sa- loon at 27 Elm street until yester- day. Now he claims that Michael J. Murphy. as agent for the Clausen Brewing company of New has not only robbed him of the saloon but deprived him of his means of earn ing a livelihood and that there is going to be all kinds of law about 1t.
 Mclaughlin claims he owned the license for the saloon, but admits 1t was issued in the name of one Moore, a driver for Murphy. Mo- Laughlin filed an application for a renewal of the license and when the county commissioners come here to- morrow for the purpose of issuing the licenses 1t is expected there will be something doing when McLough- lin presents himself for his, which was also applied for in the name of Moore.
 Mclaughlin has placed his inter ests in the hands of Attorney A. P. Hayes and Judge R. A. Lowe.
 This peculiar state of affairs came to be known through an effort made by Constable Garrity to serve an at tachment on the license for claim for $75 in behalf of w. H. Jones, a whiskey dealer in Boston.
 When Garrity went to the saloon he found scarcely anything there. A new bartender named Fogarty was on the premises. Murphy having dis charged the two that were paid week. ly by Mclaughlin Most of the goods had been removed to Murphy's place, and when he found that Attorney Mo Grath had issued an attachment for the Boston liquor dealer, Murphy got ahead of him by placing an attach ment on the goods for an alleged claim by himself. Why Murphy did all this is something Mclaughlin can not understand. He says that few days ago he told Murphy that he was going hunting for day or two and Murphy agreed that hunting was all right. When he came back the sa- loon was almost cleaned out, his bar tenders were discharged and new one beaming behind the bar.
 Almost everything of value was gone except the United States license, which is in McLaughlin's name. Con- stable Garrity took possession of that.
 The true state of affairs is said to be that Mclaughlin owed Murphy a bill which Murphy has been trying to collect for some time. McLaugh- lin. on the other hand, was threaten ing to have the license transferred in his own name and that Murphy threatened, on the other hand, that If he made step toward doing so he would have Moore, in whose name the license is. clean out the whole place as the legitimate owner.
 It is said that Mclaughlin had all but sold out the place to a Boston man for $3,500.

Representative Mondell Of Wyoming
has had conference with President
Roosevelt and Forester Pinchot in ref
erence to the wholesale withdrawal
from entry and settlement Of lands in
western states supposed to be valuable
for coal mining purposes. The total
area Of lands so withdrawn amounts
to 100000 acres. When the question
was taken up by Mondell with the
president, the latter was surprised to
learn that the order Of withdrawal in
cluded all forms OF land entry, home
stead, timber and stone and desert en-
try. and not coal entry alone, as he
had supposed.
The president suggested that Mon]
dell confer with Forester Pinchott
who is member Of the public lands
commission charged with reporting
upon public land conditions. and reel
ommending legislation for the correc-
ton Of undesirable land laws.
Pinchot is in accord with Mondell
in the opinion that the order Of with
drawal is too sweeping and win rec
ommend to the president some modifi-
cation. This win probably result in
restoration of the lands to entry un-
der all forms Of selection excepting
Under ceal land entry.
