CONNER State
Not Swamp Lands.

Notwithstanding that the so-called
swamp lands taken over by the state
at the government land opening last
fall are not swamp lands, twelve set
tiers have filed contests against the
land in the local land office. About
1850 acres are involved. The state au-
thorities have been notified and will
be given sixty days in which to give
notice if they desire a hearing. The
land opened last November is located
near Beaver Bay, in what is known as
township 81, range 9; township So,
range g, and township 81, range 10.
There was a considerable rush at the
land Office at the time Of the opening.
Under the ruling on which the cases
are brought up the settler going on the
lands previous to the survey shall be
allowed to enter these lands in the
United States land Office, provided he
shall do so in good faith and shall have
retained his residence there since SUBJ
ject to the swamp land act The no.
tice Of contest must be accompanied
by an affidavit from two witnesses,
stating that the lands are high and dry,
not subject to periodical floods and
that it is good agricultural land.
Cruisers probably will be sent out by
the state to investigate the land in
question and if they report that it is
fit for agricultural purposes the cases
probably will be allowed to go by de-
fault.

What Tax is Due?

st. Paul.-Unless the supreme court
overrules the decision Of Judge Hallam,
the Duluth & Northern Minnesota and
Minnesota & North Wisconsin railway
companies will have to pay 4 per
cent gross earnings tax to the state
of Minnesota for the taxes of 1905.
1t Is claimed that there is due from
the former road for this tax $3,906. sc
and from the latter, $3,557.91
Each of these roads had paid a tax
on the basis of 2 per cent of the gross
earnings for the year in question.
In 1873 the legislature passed an
act providing that the st. Paul, Still
water & Taylors Falls Railway COM
pany should pay a gross earnings tax
OF per cent for the first three years,
2 per cent for the next seven and 8 per
cent thereafter The two roads above
referred to come under the provisions
OF this act and were required to pay a
tax Of per cent up to 1901 and 2 per
cent UP to and including 1908.

Not Legally Dead.

W1nona-An old murder mystery is
recalled by the action begun in the pro-
bate court Of this county to declare
Charles Farnholz legally dead.
1t was in May, 1899, that Mr. Farm
holZ left his home near Lewiston to
visit for a couple of weeks with rela-
tives near Fountain City. He left word
with neighbors to look after his stock
until he returned. Two or three
months later the neighbors wondered
why he had not returned and wrote to
his relatives at Fountain City for in
formation. They replied that they had
not seen him and supposed that he was
still at his farm. 1t was then recalled
that some time after he had left his
farm the nude body Of a man, with
the face cut off, had been found in a
marsh near Fountain City.
The man evidently had been muir
dered and every means Of his identi-
6cation removed. The friends and
relatives Of Farnholz then believed that
the murdered man was he and that he
had been murdered across the river
from Winona for the little money ne
had on his person. But the mystery
was never cleared. AS nothing since
has been heard Of him, his relatives
now have made application to the pro-
bate court for the appointment Of a
guardian for his son, which action will
have the effect of declaring the father
legally dead.

Mad Dog.

MAD Dog.
Minneapolis-A dog, supposedly mad
that was shot at the corner of Ninth
avenue and Fifth street south by Pa
trolman J. P. Mcdonald, is the only
dog ever chased by an automobile.
This particular canine started orer-
atoms at the corner Of Third street
and Nicollet avenue. He snapped at
several pedestrians and finally sue
ceeded in biting a couple of women.
The crowds on the streets at the time
became panic stricken and Patrolman
Mcdonald was summoned to kill the
animal. He fired once and the bullet
barely grazed the brute's head
Suffering from this wound the dog
tore down Nicollet avenue as fast as
he could. The patrolman was quickly
distanced. Seeing an automobile pass
ing the officer asked the driver for a
lift, and soon was speeding after the
dog. Down Fifth street south the ami
NAL ran with the putting buzz wagon
in full pursuit, but it was not until
ninth avenue was reached that the Of
f1cer caught up. Patrolman Mcdonald
jumped out at that place and with a.
single shot killed the fugitive.

Butte, Montana.
DISCUSSION or THE VERDICT

Boise. Idaho. July 30.--Charles II.
Meyer, president of the Western Fed
.ecation of Miners, and co-defendant
of William d. Haywood, who was ac-
quilted OF the murder of former Gov

$4,000 bail today. The Butte local
of the Western Federation of Miners,
the richest in the organization, will
furnish $4,000 cash bail for Meyer.
The discussion OF the verdict in
the Haywood case was widespread to-
day, the concensus being that The ju-
ry had done its duty as It was and IL
should not be criticised. An editorial
comment OF local paper is 10 this
effect, the Daily Stateman sayings:
"The Statesman, in common with the
great mass of people, regrets that

the murder of former Governor
Frank Steunenberg, resulted as it
| did.

prise, as it had not been supposed
that such conclusion would be reach
ed even the defense, according to the
best information obtainable. hoping
for nothing more than a hung jury

Idaho's jury under facts as they
found them and law as laid down by
the court, and It is the duty Of all
as in an cases fairly and fully sub
