ns his identity or his mission to the

firm.
Another case which has come to
light. that wherein the Arm Of Lunde-
Carry. dealers in gents furnish
ings and dry goods. were defrauded
out of SIS. Frank Donald was the
name given by the man who de-
frauded the firm, and that was the
name signed to the fraudulent check.
Donald entered the store of the firm
when the clerks were all busy and,
approaching a member OF the arm,
advised him that he was a personal
friend OF William Dollar and that he
had prevailed upon him to purchase
real estate in the city, and as an evil
dence Of it he flashed an abstract. He
then stated that he desired to pur-
chase a coat and a pair OF shoes.
The goods purchased amounted to 4I2
and he gave a check for SIS on the
Exchange National bank, and after
receiving his change directed the firm
to deliver his old coat and shoes to
certain place in the city. The firm
has been exceedingly anxious ever
since, not only to ascertain his where
abouts in order to deliver the goods
to him, but also to have an opportun-
ity to deliver him to justice. Although
the assistance of the officers Of the
law has been made use OF they have
not yet succeeded. Donald, after
leaving the city went to Post Falls,
where he swindled a merchant out of
$50 in a similar manner.

daughter were down town at the time
and had locked the front door, but
instead of locking the rear door had
fastened the screen door, and an en-
trance was effected by unlocking I'll

deputies have arrested several par
ties, but have not yet secured any
evidence of a eliminating character
against them. There was lying on
another table in the bedroom of Miss
Bailor a gold watch belonging TO her
and several other articles of value,
but they we're not molested.

In the midst of a fusilade of shots

Young Febiger was carried to the

The landseekers now coming to the
city to register are largely from east
ern points and are showing a DISPOSE
ton to visit and become acquainted
with the city and vicinity. Many of
them are in search of land and bust

themselves of the excursions on the
lake. Considerable unfavorable COM
ment has been made by the visitors

MORE EASTERN
PEOPLE ARRIVING
Seeking Information in Regard to
Country, But Object to Paying

The registration for lands in the
Occur d'Alene Indian reservation yes-
terday was not heavy-4,57s-but Il
was an average day. The total num-
Der registered now for the Occur
d'Alene reservation is 34,56O. The
total registered for all three reserya-
lions is 93,17s. 1t is not expected
tnat there will be a marked decrease
or increase over the above number
until the last week of the registra-
ton. 1t is predicted by the railroad
men that the last week will be the
heaviest of them all. A number of
reasons are assigned in support of
this statement. 1t is said that there
are many, both in the west and east.
who will wait until the latter part of
the registration period with the hope
that the rush will then be over; and
then 1t Is stated that there are many
people in the east who have delayed
their visit to the Seattle exposition
and that as they pass through they
will stop at the registration points for
the three reservations and register.
1t is conceded by all now conversant
with the situation that the registra-
ton for the Occur d'Alene reservation
will easily reach 100, 900, and pre-
dicted by most of them that it will
be in excess of this number.
Band Concerts for Landseekers.
Yesterday afternoon the Occur
d'Alene band met all of the incom-
ing trains and. upon the arrival of
the landseekers, rendered selection
and then retreated to the business
portion of the city and rendered Sc
lection after selection for the purpose
of attracting the visitors to the upper
portion of the city. Whether the
concerts will be continued during the
remainder of the registration period
will depend on whether the business
men see fit to provide a fund for the
payment of the members of the band
A large number of the business men
have stated that they are in favor Of
the continuance of the concerts and
indicated a willingness to contribute
their share, and the concerts will
probably be continued
