DOUBT ABOUT COOK.
Uncertainty Arises Regarding Report
ed Departure for Europe.

New York. Nov. 27.-Whether DR..
Cook did or did not sail for Europe
today on the steamship Caronia has
now become a matter of dispute be-
tween his personal friends and MS per-
sonal counsel, H. W. Wack.
Mr.. Wack gave out a statement to-
day, by Encouragement with DR.. Cook
in which he declared his client had
already sailed, and gave at length the
reasons for his journey. Later in the
day he received a telephone message
from John r. Bradley, Dr. Cooks back
er, informing him that there was
strong probability that DR.. Cook had
sailed on the steamer Havana for Ha-
vana at 1 o'clock. an hour later than
the Caronia's sailing time.

morning." said Mr.. Wack, that DR..
Cook had sailed, was made by prear-
rangement with him and, to the best

MORE LAND FOR HOMES.
About a Million Acres in Montana
Restored to Settlement.

Washington, Nov. 27.-About one
million acres of land in eastern Mon
tana, heretofore withdrawn for the
purpose of making allotments to the
Rocky Boy band of Chippewa Indians,
have been restored to settlement and
entry by Secretary Ballinger.
Sixty per cent or more of this area
is embraced within pending entries or
selections and of the remainder a con-
siderable portion is not susceptible of
cultivation. A large number of set
tiers already are within the restored
area and that not spoken for will not
be subject to entry prior to March 1,
next. Arrangements for the allot
ments to the Rocky Boy band con-
template their location on a portion of
the Blackfeet reservation. There are
about $50 members of the band who
at times have been very troublesome
and their proposed settlement on the
land just restored to entry has been
strongly objected to by the citizens of
Montana.
The restoration is made subject to
the selection and perfection of
applications for allotmentS of certain
members of the Turtle mountain band
of Indians which is understood to be
satisfactory to the settlers.

PAYNE CALLS IN Vain.
Taft Was So Busy He Could Not See
Him.

Washington. Nov. 27.-Representativa
Serene E. Payne of New York, father
of the new tariff bill and floor leader
of the Republican majority in the house
of representatives, called to see Presi-
dent Taft at the White House and
found the chief executive in the midst
of a series of conferences, and after
waiting an hour or more, gave up the
attempt.
Mr.. Payne said the legislative pro-
gram of the coming session of congress
would have to wait until the presidents
message was received.
Amendments to the interstate COM
merce law and to the antitrust law
and the consideration of the ship sub
sidy bill. he said, would be the principal
subjects before congress. Postal saw
ings banks, he thought, might come in
Tor share of preliminary considera-
ton.
Mr. Payne also declared that economy
would be the watchword in making
every class of appropriations during the
next session.

WILL ASK INJUNCTION.
Those Directing to bikes Will Resort
to Legal Means.

The band of property owners who
have organized to fight the South Side
dixie proposition will file their appeal
from the award of the board of view
ers and seek an Injunction against
construction next week. Charles F.
Spencer is the attorney for the dis
satisfied river side jewellers who con-
slider their property of too little value
for protection so expensive. Few of
the larger interests along the river
make any protest because of the
evident benefit.
The board of commissioners upon
ordering the construction of the dixie
at a cost of upwards of $4,000,
urged Engineer Parkhurst to rush the
specifications in order that the pro-
testing residents and property own
ers might have an exact basis for
their proceedings. 1t is said this will
be finished next week.
When the report of the viewers had
been placed in the hands of the COM
missioners all kickers were invited to
call at the boards rooms and state
their complaint. A three day re-
ception was held and several hundred
guests entertained the board with
their compliments. To many of the
already overburdened tax payers. the
cost of the dixie and the distribution
among the really benefited seemed an

When the original petition to the
board for g. dixie was circulated hun
dreds signed only too cheerfully. When
the cost was determined and the levy
made, several of those signers came
scurrying to the commissioners with
their protests. Then it was learned
that they had originally thought they
were going to get a nice dixie as high
as they wished for nothing and that

selves who got the benefit were to

Out of that howl comes the de-

ALL over A NICKEL.
Druggist and Conductor Have Ply
steal and Legal Battles.

Some quarrelling over a nickel will
result in trial in the court of To-
peka Tuesday for Druggist D. R. Os-
born and Conductor G. w. Coleman
of the Topeka street railway com
pany. The charge upon which the
trial is based is assault perpetra ted
upon the druggist, closing one of his
eyes for "a hours.
The history of the case is amusing
as we'll as instructive. Once during
Vinewood as companion for five la
dies. He remained on the rear plat
form to smoke and paid the fare for
all. Conductor Coleman collected
druggist learned of this later he
made a protest with the conductor
but got no refund.
A week later the conductor came
to Osborn's store and told him there
was quarter for him at the COM
Osborn said to the conductor that in
asmuch as he had made the over
charge, he ought to repay it and
added that he had no time to run
down to the car barns-and the con-
ductor left.
Then began the amusement, every
time Osborn got onto Coleman's car,
he reminded him of the two bits and
refused to pay for his ride. He hap
pened on Coleman's car but seldom
and the rega1nlng OF the quarter took
the balance of the summer. Finally
however, the quarter had been re-
gained and Osborn forgetting about
it for the moment handed the con-
ductor dime. Coleman put a nickel
in his cash register and a nickel in
his pocket remarking casually to Mr.
Osborn that it was his turn to re-
cover.
That was on a West Twelfth car
and happened at Van Buren, street.
The story goes that Osborn made
much fuss about the nickel stating
that he would ride all night or until
he got that nickel back. But a likely
thing happened about the time the
car reached Fillmore street. There
Mr.. Osborn was put off the car and
he called a lawyer to declare that he
had been hit twice in the same place,
the same being the left eye, and kick
ed once, landing in the street.
