shall be made within three years
from the date of location, all
rights Hereunder shall cease.
In case any entryman fails to
make any of the payments for the
land, as provided, within the time
stated, all rights covered by such
entries shall cease, and payments
which have Heretofore been made
will be forfeited and the entry
held for cancellation.
Communication of Homesteads
Communication of homestead entry
may be made of these lands under
section 2301, r. S., but the parties
will be required to pay the price
for the land as fixed by the act.
After the expiration of five years
from the date of the opening all
the lands then undisposed Of,
except mineral and coal lands,
shall be sold to the highest bidder
for cash at not less than 81 per acre
and any of such lands remaining
unsold after eight years from the
date of opening may be sold to the
highest bidder for cash without re-
gard to the minimum limit of price
The ceded portion embraces.
about two.thirds of the land within
said reservation and contains ap-
proximately 100000 acres.
When instructions relative to
said opening have been issued to
the local offices at Lander, Wyo.,
due notice thereof will be given
to the public through the press.
The date set for the opening is
fixed by law as June Is, 1906, but
owning to the fact that the Big
Horn and Wind rivers at this
eason of the year, on account of
the melting snow in the noun
tains, are at flood, and would
make it difficult if not impossible
for entrymen to reach the land
thrown open, it has been decided
to change the date.
Selections, of the land will be
by lottery; hat is, the name, etc i,
of entryman will be placed in a
sealed box and drawn and they
receive preference in the order in
which the are drawn.

Ladies' Aid Supper.

The supper given by the Ladies
Aid Society in the Presbyterian
church last Friday evening was
we'll attended considering the ex-
tremely cold weather which pre-
vailed at that time. 1t was a very
pleasant affair and those who at
tended enjoyed the evening very
much.

1t is gratifying in the extreme
to learn that the plans of the Chi

which to escape from the blood
thirsty destroyers.

Somebody's talking of me tonight,
And somebody's going to scold,

And l cannot allay the itch of my

Nor the itch in the palm of my

.APPLEBY WILL UPHELD.
Husband Fails to Break Ante-Nuptiai
. L,@a6 - Contract.


st. Paul, Aug. 18.-Judge Hallam
has decided against DR.. T. E. V. w.
Appleby, who sued for a share of the
estate Of his WIFE. Cornelia Day Ap-
pleby. This is the third division of
the A. H. Wilder estate, left to charity,
amounting in all to $2.50O,000. His
own, bequest was first in 1894, his
widows like bequest in 1904 was sus-
tanned after contest His daughters
share is involved in this case.
Each of these three wills estab-
lished fund for relief of t'the worthy
poor" to be known as the "a. H.
Wilder Charity corporation" each sep
arately managed.
In the estate of Mrs. Appleby funds
were set apart to yield an income of
$4,000, which was promised to her
husband In an ante-nuptial contract.
That provision was attacked on the
ground that the $4,000 income was
charge upon the whole estate.
Underlying that the ante-nuptial
agreement was attacked, by which,
before their marriage, Dr.. Appleby
waived any interest in his wife's es-
tate beyond the $4,000 annuity which
she thereby guaranteed him, the allow
ance to be forfeited if he remarked.
That stipulation was attacked on the
ground that it was contrary to public
policy as discouraging marriage and
1t was argued that, if valid, the ante
nuptial contract could not renounce
rights to inherit but only present in
terests. Finally the trust was attacked
as indefinite and therefore void.
Judge Hallam upholds the probate
court DEGREES holding the will good in
all respects.
