STILL CONSIDERING
SCHOOL LAND BILL
Two Provisions, Thought to Be Un-
Constitutional, Stricken From
Measure Sent to House.

Guthrie, Okla Feb. 19.-But two
important changes we're made in the
senate school lana bill rs reported to
the house, both changing provisions
thought to he unconstitutional. The
senate bill provides for the sale of
the indemnity, enabling act and pub
lie agriculture, lands in l60-acre tracts
and the grazing lands in 640-acre
tracts, AMI provides that no person.
even a lessee shall have the right to
purchase more than one tract. The
enabling aCt and constitution provides
that the lands shall be sold in l60acre
tracts, prefer ence right being given
to the lessee. The senate bill pro-
vides that any lessee having sur
plus trying to dispose of it and there
by transferring . preference right,
shall be guilty of a felony AS the
courts have held that the preference
right is a property right, the senate
provision was eliminated as uncOn-
stitrtional.
To secure the object sought by the
senate in the proposition limiting pur-
chasers to 160 aores, and at the same
time not violate the enabling act and
constitution the house committee has
submitted an amendment that where
q lessee has more than l60 acres such
lands Shall not be sold by the state,
but shall be retained and rented at
6 per cent Of the appraised value an
nually unless the lessee desires to
voluntarily relinquish his preference
right to all ii excess OF 100 acres

The Walrus, pefenses.

A full-grown walrus will weigh as
much as 1000 pounds; a mountainous
mass of muscle and blubber, says the
st. Nicholas. He is armed with tusks
Of ivory, sometimes two feet in length,
and when from his upreared bulk
these formidable weapons are plunged
downward upon an enemy, they are
as resistless as the drop of a guillo-
tine. Such a thick layer of blubber
lies under the skin that he is practic-
ally clad in an armor impervious to
teeth and claws alike. So, unless the
bear is greatly favored by luck, he
has little chance to overthrow his
antagonist.

Lowell, Ohio, August 23.-William
Smith, a South Carolina hunter, show
ed his bravery when armed with a
big knife he crawled yesterday into a
den of lynx near here and killed the
leader Of the band. The battle lasted
three hours. The lynx was six feet

For several months the lynx have
been a terror to the community. They
have killed stock n attacked people.
Their den was in a wild, rocky ravine
and no one dared attempt to rout
them. Smith organized a posse to
help him fight the animals, but he
had barely gotten inside the den when
the posse, frightened at the growls OF
the animals, fed in terror. The battle
was fought in darkness and the den
was so small that Smith was unable
to stand erect. :.
