Land Opening in August

Although no official notice has
been issued from Washington
concerning the probable Cate
on which the proclamation open
ing the Standing Rock and Chey-
enne Indian reservations will be
promulgated, it is learned upon
reliable authority that the pro-
clamation will be issued in Aug
ust, and that the great drawing
for the order of homestead entry
will come early in the fall months,
probably in October.
The principal place for regis
tration will be at LIE Beau. It is
probale that Lennon will also be
named as one of the points of
registration. It's likewise prob
able that Mowbridge, a station
on the Milwaukee line where it
crosses the Missouri, will be
another. Aberdeen is m aking a
strong pull for a share in the
same honor, but as yet Aber-
deems status in the case has not
been determined.
The acreage embraces in round
numbers, about 5000, 1000 acres
of land.

Panic Ends Sham Battle

Ortonville, Minn., July GA
sham battle on Lake Big Stone,
which was to be the crowning
feature of the Fourth of July
celebration here, was brought to
a termination more realistic than
was dreamed of last night, when
the fireworks on the launch Alpha
caught fire and exploded. Fire
brands fell all over the boat and
upon other pleasure craft which
were moored near by, and for a
moment panic and loss of life
seemed inevitable.
Fortunately only a few persons
we're on the boat, and of these
only one, F. w. Sanborn, owner
of the North Star boat line, was
seriously injured. Mr.. Sanborn
undertook to save various
articles and material by throwing
them overheard, and remained SO
long upon the deck that his hands
and feet were severely burned.
His shoes were literally burned
away before he jumped into the
water and was pulled on board a
a rescue boat. Engineer Albert
Nelson of the Alpha, who was
loaded down with silver coin, the
partial proceeds of the days traf-
fic on the lake, was forced to
jump into the water to save him
self from fatal burns, and weight
ed down by the money in his
pockets, would have drowned
but for rescuers who were near
at hand.
Others on the boat, either
passengers or members of the
crew, threw themselves into the
lake when the flames approached
and managed to cling to the sides
of the Alpha until they could be
taken off and were not seriously
hurt.
