ern Pacific to Regain Rich
Coal Land.

Helena, Mont, July Is. In the
United States court here yesterday
suit was instituted by the government
against the Northern Pacific Railway
company, the Rocky Fork Coal com
pany and the Northwestern Improve
ment company to recover title to very
valuable coal lands in Carbon county,

through Misrepresentation.
The lands are declared to be worth
more than 100000 and embrace the
richest coal mines in the state.
The complaint sets forth that the
lands are chiefly valuable for their
large deposits of coal. and that they
were selected by the railroad under
the provisions of its land grant in
1899, in lieu of acreage embraced in
Mount Rainier. National Park and Pa
cifc forest reserve in Washington.
Accompanying the instrument of Sc
lection was the affidavit of the land
commissioner of the railroad. w. Fl.
Phipps, in which he stated that they
have been found upon examination
to be nonmineral in character"
The selections were approved in 1908.
The government charges that the
veritications of the selections were
each false, as the railroad company
well knew at and before the time they
were made that they were not uon-
mineral in character.

Bill, who was employed In the ca

standing at the yard gates with the
inevitable bit of straw In his mouth,
wondering If life was worth living.
Before leaving home in the morn

In the midst of his meditation a
brake, filed with ladies on their way
to well-known resort, pulled up to
allow the driver to bait his horses.
After seeing to the animals, Bill and
the driver adjourned inside to refresh

POUR INTO St. PAUL

ShrinerS From the Four Corners

EVERY TEMPLE REPRESENTED

St Paul, July h. - From the four
corners of the country, including
many hooks and byways, caravan
after caravan of mobiles, costumed pa
trolls and boisterous bands flooded the
union depot yesterday, every road en-
tering the city contributing it's several
special trains and strings of chartered
cars. The station was one moving
mass of variegated color A din of
noise filed the interior of the big
structure. Had it not been for a sys-
tematic preparation for handling the
immense influx the situation would
have been one of hopeless chaos.
Trainload after trainload arrived
during the early part of the morning.
during the late afternoon and early
representatives of the various tenn
pies, while the white fez of the WON.
en- dotted the throng, the fairer visit
ors numbering well into the hundreds.
Twenty Thousand Shriners on Hand.
When the roar of the first day had
quoted early this morning practically
all the temples, patrols and accom-
panying bands had arrived in the city.
The total number Of temples which
had arrived in the city last night
amounted to nearly forty, each with
delegations numbering from 20 to
500. Including the members of the
order who came in on the regular
trains, as well as the large number of
visitors attracted to the city, a con-
sentative estimate of Shriners is 20,-
900, and this figure is conservative.
Each of the incoming trains was
met by escorts of patrols, mobiles from
Osman temple, and during the day
they performed yeoman service. AS
sisted by several bands, relays of re-
ceivers greeted the incoming mobiles
as they detrained, escorted them d.
rectly to the Masonic temple, and
afterwards led the way to the various
lodging places. The task was a big

pressed into service. and during the
morning hours, when the largest num-

with tenacity and perseverance.

The principal event of the day was
the grand ceremonial session of Os-
man temple of st. Paul at the Audito-
rum last night, when 100 novices
were conducted across the burning
sands of the desert The affair is
said to have been the most elaborate
and spectacular initiation service ever
and spectacular initiation service ever

The climax of Masonic public DEM

reached this evening when the gor-

Arab patrols move through the princi-

ASSAULT
| MADE ON TWO GIRLS
Man Accused Of Dastardly Crime
Is Threatened With Lynch
ing by Citizens.
BOTH IN SERIOUS CONDITION

Bemidji, Mimi, July IA. William
Conway, aged twenty years, laborer
at Laporte, assaulted Florence Will
liams at Laporte Saturday afternoon,
leaving the girl in terrible condition
and also nearly killing Mary Mead,
her young companion, while the two
girls were walking along the railroad
track south of Laporte.
The girls claim that Conway hit the
Mead girl on the head with revolver,
kicked and mistreated her and hauled
her into the woods by the hair of her
head and left her there for dead.
The Williams girl attempted to es-
cape but, it is alleged, was pursued
and oyertaken by Conway, who as
saulted her and mistreated her in a
terrible manner
Whisked Out Of Town.
Conway went to a cabin near town,
where he was afterwards apprehend-
ed and placed under arrest.
The constable took Conway to
Walker on a handcar, and from there
sent him to Park Rapids, where he
was lodged in the county Jail.
The girl is in serious condition,
her body having many bruises, and
her scalp has deep cash where Con-
way is alleged to have hit her with
the revolver. There are thumb marks
on her throat. The Williams girl is
not in serious condition. There
were threats Of lynching, and it was
with difficulty that the constable got
Conway to Park Rapids.

SHOOTS HUSBANDS SLAYER


Northport, N. Y, July 15.-Standing
within few feet of the SPOT where, a
little more than two. years ago, he
shot and killed his fatherin-law, DR..
James Weddell Simpson, dentist of
New York, was shot and perhaps
mortally wounded yesterday by his
mother-in-law Mrs. BARLEY T. Horner
the woman he made widow, DR..
simpsons wife, from whom he has
been estranged for many months, was
near when the shot was fired, but she
did not witness the shooting. Upon
learning that it was her husband who
had been wounded she refused to go
near him, and DR.. Simpson had to
crawl to house 200 feet away to
have his wound attended to. Mrs.
Horner was later arrested and held
in $4,000 bail, while DR.. Simpson, with
the assistance of two friends, made
his way to Roosevelt hospital, in New
York. The bullet lodged in his liver
and an immediate operation was per-
formed to extract the bullet. The
doctors said last night that DIR.
Simpson has only small chance of
recovery.
Stories Disagree.
Statements from DR. Simpson and
from Mrs. Horner as to the circum-
stances attending the shooting disa-
gree. The dentist says that he had
received word that his wife intended
to sue him for divorce and that he
went to the Horner home to talk with
her about it, He says he rang the
doorbell and upon receiving no re-
Spouse peered through the doorpane
He say Mrs. Horner, he says and call
ed to her to open the door. Then, DIR.
Simpson says, Mrs. Horner grabbed
up a revolver and shot him. The bull
let entered his body above the aldo
men and he fell back against the door
sill. A second shot was fired at him,
he claims, but the bullet went wild.
Mrs Horner does not deny that she
did the shooting, but she claims JUS
tification.
Second Tragedy in Family.
The second tragedy at the Horner
homestead is only another chapter in
series of unhappy domestic events
of the last few years. The shooting
of Barley T. Homer by DR.. S'c1nson
aroused the countryside in December,
1905 and when the dentist was put on
trial his wife took the witness stand
against him. Mrs. Horner also gave
damaging testimony against her SON
in-law. Or. Simpson was going
through the manual of arms with a
shotgun, when he accidentally shot
his father-in-,aw.
Atte- the verdict of acquittll DR..
& i'm son retirne1 to the practice of
Jenti try. He opened a suite Of Of
Secs on Fifth avenue, New York, but
he lad lost many clients and of late
he had sought financial aid.
