ELK MOUNTAIN SCHOOL
GIVES ENTERTAINMENT

The Elk mountain school gave an
entertainment on the 26th of Deem
Der which was a very pleasant affair
and one of the most successful ever
given in the community, says the Elk
Mountain correspondent Of the Sarato,
ga Sun. The event of the evening was
& competitive drill between the boys
n girls of the school. The prize was
given to the girls, however, as they
showed slight superiority over the
boys. The honors were about even
though, and showed the great pains
and labor that had been spent on the
children by their teacher, Miss Tho.
bro. The whole entertainment was a
great credit to the skill of the scholars
as well as to the earnest labors of Miss
1'hobro.

a FAMOUS CASE.

The case of the town of Hartville
VS.. the Jehosaphat mining claim is
again n subject of interest, the case
being set for trial in the United States
land Office at Cheyenne January ..
About a score of witnesses have been
summoned and a lively legal battle is
promised.
This case first came before the Unit
ed States land office in 1901, when ].
j. Hauphoff, as mayor OF the town of
Hartville, applied for patent under the
townsite law for a tract of land hat
fully covered the mining claim. Pro,
test was made by the mineral claim,
ants and a hearing was had to deter
mine the validity of the townsite APP
~plication. Upon the evidence submit
ted the register and receiver held that
the application of the mayor was a le-
gal n INT that the rights of the pro
testants were fully protected by the
statute under which it was made. The
protest of Wright & Hammond, own
ers of the Jehosaphat claim, was dis
missed, as well as several others.
The general land office approved the
action Of the local office and issued pa.
tent to the mayor. Subsequently sew,
eral patents to mineral claims within
the limits of the patented townsite
were granted, but when Wright &
Hammond applied for patent the
town authorities filed an adverse claim,
which took the case into the court of
the First Judicial district, Judge Scott
presiding. The decision of the court
was against the mineral claimants, and
they appealed to the supreme court of
the state, which held that the district
court had no jurisdiction to decide the
mineral character of the land and dis.
missed the suit without prejudice. The
principal ground for this decision was
that the town could in no sense become
an adverse claimant under the mineral
laws, as it laid no claim to mineral
rights and the statute gave it none:
that the proper tribunal to pass upon
the mineral character of the land was
the land department.
The mineral claimants again applied
for patent and adverse rights were set
up by both the town and an individual
citizen. The local Office dismissed both
of these ad-Nrse claims upon the
ground that no adverse rights were
shown. Upon appeal, the general land
office sustained the local office upon
the principal points involved, bat held

STATE BANKS
EXAMINER HENDERSON DEDUcEs
FROM REPORTS MADE TO
HIM AS STATE OFFICER.
Banks Exceeds T~wenty-three Nil,
lions, Figure NeVe Before Reach
ed-State Banks No More Unsafe
Than the National Banks.

State Bank Examiner II. B. Hender,
son has made an interesting report to
the governor covering the condition,
growth and development of the state
and private banks Of Wyoming, over
which the examiner has jurisdiction,
says the Cheyenne Tribune. With the
report is a tabulated abstract of the
reports of the banks on December 3,
1907, showing total assets of S5,15S,
5O2.61 for the state banks and $751;
1880 for the private banks. This
is more than all the banks in the state
had ten years ago. The total in Wyo
ming state, national and private banks
Is o over $23. 600, 900, a gain of owe
400 per cent in ten years. The largest
state bank is the Sheridan Bank of
Commerce, showing assets of $S64,O0O
Fine Showing for Banks.
In Mr.. Henderson's report he calls
attention to the fine showing made
by the Wyoming banks at the time
when a financial stringency amount
ing almost to panic in some parts of
the country was affecting the money
markets.
The national banking report issued
on December 3 showed that Wyoming
stood sixth in the list of states in
cash on hand INT due from reserve
agents, having 33.6S per cent Illus in
reserve. Colorado headed the list with
rs per cent.
The state bank says Mr.. Hender,
son is the pioneer and trail blazer for
the national bank and many a national
bank could o do business in some
communities were it not for the bust
ness built up by the smaller bank"
Same Rule Applies to Both.
Mr.. Henderson endeavors to correct
the impression that national banks
are better or safer than state banks.
He says that while the popular impress
sion is that the government is behind
the national banks, in times OF trouble
ii is seen that the government does
not seem to be there. The depositors
only get their money if there are as
sets enough to go around. The same
rule applies to state banks and the
state is just as much behind the state
bank as the government is behind the
national bank. Mr.. Henderson insists
that state banks are directed with as
much ability as the national banks,
and that they are able to operate in
communities where the national banks
would not find it profitable to do bust.
ness, The report ends with some
cautions to the bankers to keep close
to the spirit as well as the letter of
the law under which they are char.
tered.

that a hearing should be ordered to
determine the character of the land
within the limits of the mining claim
at the time of the filing of the appli-
cation for patent Of the townslte. and
to determine the question of occupancy
on that date.
Pending the litigation the mayor of
the town who made the application, J.
j. Hauphoff, died. An interesting fact
connected with the case is that the
FIRST action by the townsite people was
taken in 1883, when a map vas filed.
II is hoped that the present hearing
will end the controversy and that all
conflicting rights will be adjusted.

subscriber comes to have a feeling of
hatred in his heart for a paper that

SOCIAL SETTLEMENTS ARE
DENOUNCED BY CATHOLIC
Priest In Chicago Terms Rich Sup
porters of Stun Charities Phari-
sees-Says Church Would
Improve Work

CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-THE modern So
cial settlements of American cities We're
denounced as breeding places of So
cialism and anarchy by Rev. James
Curry of New York in an address at
the Catholic Missionary congress to-
day.
Father Curry, who 1abors among the
poor of the famous Cherry Hill dis
trict, fiayed the rich supporters of the
social settlements of the crowded city
Districts declaring many of them go
among the poor as Pharisees and seek
to excuse their own shortening by
their interest in the sufferings of their
brothers.
The speaker inquired if any one had
heard of a social settlement among the
rich to teach them the sacredness of
marriage and that a champagne de-
bauch is as bad as one on mixed
ale"
The speaker in closing, however, adj
mitted the social settlement, purged of
what he termed it's abuses, and under
proper Catholic administration, would
be a good department of endeavor for
the Catholic church.
Auxiliary Bishop Rhode of Chicago
urged the adoption of a comprehensive
colonization scheme to take Catholic
immigrants from the crowded cities to
farms in Catholic communities where
not only their material but their spir-
itual welfare would be safeguarded,

LONG BEACH, Nov. I.-When }. u.
Ford, a carpenter living ON PennsylVa-
dia avenue, returned to his home this
morning, after escorting his daughter
to a street car, he found his wife gagged
and bound on her bed. A towel was
wrapped about her head, a yard of
cloth stuffed in her mouth, an apron
tied round her neck, and mass OF PED
clothing and a mattress were on top OF
her Hurriedly releasing her, he en-
deavored to gain some mixing as TO the
person who had made the attack upon
her The woman collapsed, however,
and did not regain consciousness until
this afternoon. She is an invalid and
her condition is serious.
Mrs. Ford stated to Chief of Police
Williams that her assailant was man
about 80 years old, smooth and round
faced, and clad in a worn suit of cloth
ing. She said he gained entrance to the
house by asking her to subscribe Tor
newspaper. When she refused he eX-
claimed: Il was here a week ago and
you refused to sign up; you've got tc
this time" Then he attacked her,
The woman said she remembered
nothing after the stranger threw her
down and put a pillow over her head
According to DR.. e. M Freeman, the
woman suffered no bodily harm, but
the shock was severe and she was al
most choked to death. The police do
hot know whether or not to think her
assailant was moved to the attack by
a sudden insane fit of anger.

mans footsteps to point on California
