ing on the land adjacent to these
streams, while some of it is far back
from them.
1t Is thought highly probable that
a compromise will be reached between
the Twin Falls company and the Ida
no Irrigation company over $4,000
acres Of land sought by each in Lin
coin county for reclamation under the
Carey act.
Twelve thousand eight hundred
acres of land just east of the eastern
boundary of the former Nez Perez
reservation has been thrown open to
entry in the lewiston land office. The
land lies few miles east Of Kamiah
and Kooskia, on the Clearwater Short
Line railroad, and much of it has been
squatted for several years. The state
serves preference right of entry for go
days, and in the meantime no filings
will be allowed at the land office ex-
cept those offered by prior bonafide
homestead settlers.
1t is said Senator Dubois will go on
the lecture platform and devote many
months to anti-Mormon propaganda.
The biggest sale ever made in Nez
Perez has been closed when the dry
goods firm Of L. G. Gorrell & Co. was
purchased by B. ]. Pike & Co. at $685.

Contest Is Probable.

The children so specifically disin-
herited are Arthur, aged Z, and Mark,
aged 8 years. The attorney engaged
by Mrs. Bradley's relatives in Salt
Lake decline to discuss the will at
this time, but there is scarcely ques-
ton that contest will be instituted
as much for the purpose establishing
their paternity as to secure none
tary consideration. This is the more
likely as Mrs. Bradley is, or was a
few months ago, in possession Of let
tiers signed with Browns name in
which the relationship to one or both
of the children is acknowledged. In
one of these letters. written after the
birth of the first child, appears the fol
lowing quotation
"Your blood and mine commingled
yet shall mount the throne of kings
The contents of the will have caused
a sensation in Salt Lake.

BROWN DENIES CHILDREN.
Cuts Off, in His VIII, Offspring OF
Mrs. Bradley.

Salt Lake City-Had the late Sena-
tor Arthur Brown foreseen his death at
the hands of Mrs. Anna Bradley, he
could not have devised no more ingen-
ious retaliation than the post morten
revenge contained in his will. The
document, which was written August
"a, 1906, four months beore Mr.. Brown
was shot down at the Raleigh hotel in
Washington, has been filed for pro
bate.
81 do not devise, or give or bequeath
anything to any of the children of Mrs.
Anna Bradley" is the language of the
will. 81 do not think either or any
child born to Mrs. Anna M. Bradley
Is or are mine, but whether such child
or children is or not l expressly pro-
vide that neither nor any of them shall
receive anything Of my estate.
81 have never married Anna M.
Bradley and never intend to. If she
should pretend that any such relation
ever existed between us to justify
such inference, I direct my executors
to contest any claims of any kind she
may present and direct that she re-
ceive nothing from my estate"
The testator bequeaths all his prop
erty, valued at about $4,000, to his
two children by his first and second
wives, Alice Brown and Max Brown.

RICH ORE STOLEN
FROM GREAT MOHAWK MINE
In G0LDfIELD, NEVADA.
Lessees and the Miners Are Suspected
by Owners-lnjunction Has Been Is
sued to Protect Mine-50 Watchers
Employed by v. S. Court-Over a
Million Is Said to Have Been Taken.

San Francisco, Dec. 24.-The loot
by it's lessees and the miners in their
employ, as charged by the owners, has
caused Judge w. w. Morrow Of the
United States circuit court to issue an
Injunction protectiong the mine, which
will be enforced by so watchers ap-
pointed by the court.
George Wingield, who, with his as
sociates in the ownership of the mine,
filed bonds in the suit amounting to
100000 claims that within the last 80
days $1,000,000 worth of high grade ore
has been stolen and that the looting
dates back for two years.
The Wells-Fargo Express company
is involved in the trouble, according to
Wingfeld. The 1873 sacks of ore al
legged to have been stolen, valued at
$zU0, 900, were recently shipped by the
company to the Selby smelling works
in this city, and are now the subject of
suit in the federal courts. The ex-
press company is said to have sent its
wagons under cover Of darkness to
the assay offices, where the miners are
said to have disposed of their steal
ings, for the purpose of taking ship
ments. There are SO assay offices
where Wingfield says only three are
straight" He says that the miners
working the deposits in the Mohawk
have been dealing with the crooked
offices.
The Wells-Fargo company, he de
claret. was concerned in the matter
only to the extent of increasing its
business by shipping the ore to points
where it might be sold. There are
5000 miners in the Mohawk camp who
are accused of looting by Wingield
