MOBS STONING
OUR CONSULATE 2

Neither the State Department nor the
Mexican embassy has any confirmation
today OF the reports that mobs IL Guate-
mala City have been stoning the Ameri-
can and Mexican consulates.
That there has been some kind Of trou-
bic is regarded as certain. The cause
seems to have been q demand by Mexico
upon Guatemala for the extradition Of
Gen Jose Lima, who has been charged
with having instigated the recent mur-
der in Mexico city OF General Barillas.
Lima Is cabrera's Righ. Hand.
General Lima is s1d to be the right
hand man of President Cabrera. OF
Guatemala, and as such is popular with
the people. General Barillas, who was
shot on n street car at the Mexican
capital, was perhaps the most promi-
nent of Guatemalan exiles, and was re-
garded as the most formidable prospec-
tive opponent to President Cabrera 8
administration and his most likely sue
cessor.
The two men who were arrested as
Barillas' assassins implicated General
Lima in the plot, and the Mexican gov
eminent has demanded that he should
be required to face his accusers.
Resented by Guatemalans.
Apparently the Guatemalan people
have resented this demand and have
been making demonstrations to prevent
their government from acceding to It.
There is no extradition treaty between
Mexico and Guatemala. and il there
was the case of General Lima would
hardly come within its scope Mexico,
however. il is said, insists that unless
General Lima Is surrendered 10 con-
front his accusers, diplomatic rtlations
between the two countries viii be sus-
pended.

Request will be made by Judge VII

to have his bail of $1,000 reduced.
This bond was fixed by Bail Com
missioner Payne last Tuesday morn

liminary hearing on the charge oi
numbering Theodore Estes. At the
time of the shooting Judge Bennet
II. Gordon was out Of town, and
Payne came over from Amherst
county.
Rumor was circulated several
days ago that Sheriff Estes and his
sons were dissatisfied with the
amount of bond fixed by Payne,
who is said to be a friend of Judge
Loving. It was reported that the
Estes family would ask Judge Cor

COMMUTERS MUST
RESIDE a MONTHS
New Ruling By General Land Office
Does Away With Constructive
Residence.

After November l, homesteaders who
commute must have actually resided ON
the land for IA months. The six
months constructive residence is done
away with, according to a circular from
the general land office, the gist of the
ruling being as follows:
"By ruling just announced, no COM
mutation proof offered under home
stead entry made on or before Novem-
ber l, 1907, will be accepted unless
such proof show that the entryman
has, in good faith, actually resided up
on and cultivated the land embraced
within his entry for the full period of
of fourteen months, thus doing away
with the constructive residence period
heretofore recognized.
"The ruling just announced, however,
will not affect hon estead entries made
previous to November l, and commuted
to cash, if, when proof is made, it is sat
isfactorily shown that the entryman
established actual residence on the
land embraced within his entry within
six months from date of entry, in which
case he may be credited with construc-
tive residence from date of TRY, but
in this connection the entryman must
show that his residence, once establish
ed, was maintained in good faith for
such period as, when added to period of
constructive residence will equal the
tull period of IA months residence re-
/, quired under the Communication clause
of the homestead act. Communication
proofs will not be accepted when they
Q fail to show that the required residence
and cultivation was continued to the
Z date on which application to make final

BIG ADVANCE IN
PRICE OF LAMBS
Value Doubled In One Year Shown By
Suit Started In Circuit
Court

Some idea of the big increase in
value of sheep is indicated in a circuit
court suit filed in the Office of Clerk j.
A. French, Friday. N. G. Longfellow OF
Joseph, by his attorney, D. w. Sheahan,
asks judgment against Huffman & Son
(John w and Arnold R.) the sheep
firm, for S4SO0, because of the failure of
the latter to deliver to him 2800 lambs
at alleged contract price of $l.5O per
head. The $4,000 is supposed to repre-
sent the difference between the contract
price, and the reasonable market value.
The complaint alleges an agreement
made Nov. 2, 1904, between plaintiff and
defendants by which the latter were to
sell him all the lambs they raised from
their band of sheep during 1905 and
1906, at 81 so head, the price of the
lambs to credited on promissory note
for $2676. given plaintiff by defendants.
1t is claimed that about Sept. l, 1905,
the Huffmans paid the note, thereby
prevented plaintiff from crediting the
price of the lambs on said note, even if
they had delivered the increase of their
flock to him. However he says they did
not deliver the lambs, and that they
raised not less than 400 in each of the
two years, and the reasonable market
price of the little baas was So each. He
claims to have been damaged to the ex'
tent of $2400 for each of the two years
This is the third time this matter has
been in the courts, and non-suit de
cision of the circuit court was appealed
to the supreme court which sustained
the decision of the lower court.
