LANDS OUGHT
To BE OPENED
Senator Clapp Of Minnesota Makes
This Statement After Visiting
Fort Peck Reservation.

That the lands Of the Fort Peck
Indian Reservation, situated in
Valley County in the extreme
northern portion Of the state, ought
to be opened to the settlers at
once. is the opinion of United
States Senator Clapp of Minnesota
who Monday, in company with a
number of other eastern men, all
guests of President Louis w. Hill
Of the Great Northern, visited the
reservation and spent some time
in looking over the land and the
advances which have been made
in dry land farming in the northern
part OF the state and along the line
Of the Great Northern, says the
Billings Gazette.
Senator Clapp, who addressed
the Dry Farming congress yester-
day, Is chairman OF the senate COM
mittee on Indian affairs and was
more than passively interested in
mis- investigation OF the Fort Peck
lands. As chairman of his COM
mittes he will probably report to
congress at its next session in re-
gard TO the opening of several res.
ervatIons In the west. and his
words IN favor OF opening portion
OF the Fort Peck lands can be
taken as a good indication that the
reservation will IN part be thrown
open to settlement and that many
thousands oil acres OF the best dry
farming land in the state will with.
IN a year be within the reach oil
the new settler.
The Fort Peck reservation covers
an area nearly as large as Yellow
stone county, while the tribe o.
Indians occupying it has dwindlec
and have more land than they car
possibly use. 1t is said that the
land is equally as fertile as the
valley OF the Milk river and it i.
believed that its opening vii

zELAYA OFFERS
TO SURRENDER To
REvOLUT|ON|STS
Will Resign if Nicaraguan Con-
gress Be Allowed to Elect
Provisional President.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.-President
Zelaya has made overtures to the revo-
Iutionists intimating his willingness to
retire from the presidency of Mica
ragua provided the congress be allowed
to select a provisional president in his
stead. This news comes from the Uni
ted States consulate at Bluefields and
vas sent late Sunday night.
The despatch says that a recognized
representative of Zelaya has tele-
graphed an adroitly worded despatch
to the revolutionists, making an over
ture to the effect that it is rurnored
that Zelaya, recognizing the weakness
of his posi- ion, may retire, he first con.
vening congress, all of the delegates
to which are named and controlled by
him, with a view to the selection of a
provisional president.
General Estrada has sent the follow
ing reply:
"The government of General Estrada,
completely assured of an ultimate
triumph and much stronger than
Zelaya, who, with his accomplices, owe
reparation to the country, and Estrada
being the unanimous choice for presi-
dent of the Liberal party. aided by the
Conservatives, will not accept any
terms other than the recognition of the
provisional government established"
1t was stated today that the Near
aguan situation would be taken up by
the Cabinet today.
NEW ORLEANS. Nov. 30.-A cable
from San Jose, Costa Rica, states that
the French government has been
drawn into the Nicaraguan trouble in a
way thai promises serious consequences
for Zelaya as a result of brutal out
RACES committed on French citizens re-
siding in Nicaragua.
An official complaint has been lodged
with the French consul-general In
Costa Rica by Faustino Montiel, a
Frenchman. Montiel, who was mana
ger OF a farm owned by NJ. Menier, of
Paris, and situated on the southeast
coast of the great lake Of Nicaragua,
says:
ION October % last we were sur
prised by a large detachment of troops
commanded by a gentleman named
Larios, who, we were told, is an aide
de-camp of the President of Nicaragua.
Immediately both Mr.. Ruinart and my
self were bound and dragged to the
edge of a lake, where, after a mockery
of a trial, they threatened to shoot US
a threat which they repeated three
times.
LAS soon as We were safely in the
lookup the soldiers returned to sack
the farm, wrestling the keys from the
h~cusekeeper and carrying off all objects
OF value on which they could lay their
| hands, some Of which we recognized
later In Lortuga. We had to regain
| possession OF our own horses by pur-
| chasing them from those to whom they
mad sold them.
During the operations at the farm
the housekeeper was brutality treated
by Larios, inc it was with difficulty
that she saved herself from being
killed. They completely stripped the
farm, not taking into account the
French flag which was at the time
hoisted over the house."

which caused fits. Immediately Mrs.
Schultz-to-be taxed Schultz, but the lat
ter made a decided denial. On the con-
trary, he had always enjoyed excellent
health. On the strength of this en-
phatic statement the ceremony took
place.
Not long after. according to the bill,
the awakening took place. Schultz, ii
is alleged, had q number of fits, and at
times had great difficulty in breathing
Then it was be admitted hat he was
a chronic sufferer and had been under
medical treatment for five years. This
was enough for the wife, and on March
II she went to live with her father al
ISL Warren street, and he went home
to his mother.
Shortly after the bill for annulment
was filed by MacLear and Fort, as
counsel for Mrs. Schultz, and the mat
ter came up before Vice-Chancellor
Stevens today on motion of Charles M
Myers, for the husband. to dismiss the
bill because of insufficient grounds. But
as Mrs. Schultz says in her bill 'it
was the proper duty of the said Morris
Schultz to inform your oratrix of the
poor condition of his health, but he
wholly neglected SO to do, but did with
intent to wickedly defraud and mis-.
lead your ~oratrix, keep, hide and con

ately misrepresenting the same to you,

marry him, by reason of her said faith
and belief the day and e a aforesaid
And it is because of this that Mrs
Schultz is aggrieved and asks her Free

Owing to the desire of counsel on
both sides to amend the papers in the
matter the case was put off for two
weeks.
