UPHELD
BY HIGHEST COURT
BIG VICTORY FOR HOMESTEAD.
ERs WON IN DEPARTMENT
OF INTERIOR.

Attorney D. w. Sheahan has receiv.
ed word that his client Finley M.
Newton, has won out before the De-
partmnet of the Interior, and thus
is closed one of the most sensation
al and hardly fought cases ever
started in the La Grande office.
Newton was squatter in the now
famous an Al township thrown open
TO settlement on Sept. 15, 1908. He
made a homestead entry, while one
Guy NJ. Byrkitt said to be a SON.
in-law OF George M. Palmer, the
lumber king, made a T. & S. entry.
The case occupied nearly a month
at La Grande in December, '0S, New
Ion being given the decision The
decision was affirmed by the gen.
eral land office and now again by
the Interior Department, the court
of final authority.
'sle gist of the decision is that If
the Squauter made bona flue settle-
ment and was acting in good faith,
his homestead takes precedence ov-
er timber and stone entry no mat
ter how valuable the timber on the
land may be.
c. H. Finn of Portland and a
Washington, D. c.. firm of lawyers
were the opposing counsel to Mr..
SheaDian.
Two other similar cases recently
decided are Montag and Jellison VS..
Asa Bursell, and Vinacke and Bahler
VS.. Harvey r. Bursell. The Bursells
were the squatters and the others
T. & s. entrymen. Conaway &
Corkins, by A. B. Conaway, appeared
for the homesteaders and won COM
plete victory In each case. Notwith-
standing the testimony showed the
land to be more valuable for timber
than fer any other purpose, the pref
erence right was decided to lie with
the bona fide settlers.

WINGS COLLAPSE
AVIATOR KILLED
DE LA GRANGE FALLS TO HIS
DEATH FROM GREAT HEIGHT
AT BORDEAUX.

Bordeaux, Jan. Aeon de la
Grange, the French aviator, whose
achievements in the last two years
had won for him a high place among
those who have set out to conquer
the air, was killed instantly today
while making flight in the presence
OF great crowd. A strong, uncer.
tain wind prevailed, but with charac
teristic daring, de la Grange faced
1T in the same monoplane in which
ne made a record of SO miles an
hour at the Doncaster meeting last
October. He circulated the acre
dnome, seeming to have his machine
under good control, and yet at times
1t heeled dangerously.
On the third round, when at a
height of between 60 and 70 feet,
he increased his speed. He swung
wide at the tuIns, but at the lower
end of the aerodrome he attempted
to describe sharp curve. The ma
chime was seen to sway. The left
wing was broken, and the right wing
Immediately collapsed. The aero
plane came plunglng to the earth
and lit turned hat over as it fell,
with the aviator clinging to the seat
In this way it crashed to the ground
with de la Grange beneath, the
heavy motor crushing him.
The mechanicians are at a loss
to explain the accident. They are
merely able to say that it resulted
from maneuvering too quickly in the
puffy wind. The monoplane was
doubled braced at essential points
and had been given a careful exam,
ination before ascending.
De la Oranges flight was merely
preliminary to tie attempt which he
was to make in the afternoon tC
break Henry Farman's record. All
eye witness describes the machine as
iifS,ihg at an exceptionally s,iiSf
speed. De la Grange had already
completed three turns of the inn
mense aerodrome and was directly
over the sheds when the wings fel
over and the machine shot down
ward with a velocity Of a projectile
striking the roof of shed a glanc
ing blow.
The spectators climbed the bar
riers and rushed to the spot. The
first to arrive were Matthyia, a pu
pill Of de la Grange and a gendame
With great difficulty the broker
mass of twisted frame work was
Lifted up. De La Grange was carried
to the shed. He ,groaned feebly
twice or thrice but died a momen'
later. The body had been literally
crushed and the skull was frac
tured.
Practical aeroplanists concur in
the opinion that the accident wa:
due to the fact that a As instead o.
an Is horsepower motor was used
luis, they say, was much too pow
er for the small planes. In turn
ing against the strong wind, thu
left wing was unable to resist th'
combined forces of the propulsion
Of the engine and the wind pressure
and broke. The heavy aeroplane
deprived suddenly OF it's plane SUI
face, shot downward, the aviato
not having time to disengage himsel
from his seat.

THOS. E. WATSON.
P. S. 1t dis proper that [ should state
that Hardwick prevailed on ex-Gov.
Smith to publish card in which the
letter of Augusta (from which quoted),
was repudiated The Ex-Governor de-
clared that his Secretary signed his
name and that he himself knew nothing
of the letter.
The body of the letter was typewriter,
and the signature was made with ink.
The ex-Governor's Secretary is a mar
vellously presumptious person, to be sure.
But | am not to be provoked out of
my nuetral position, by any desperate
Hardwick or any indiscreet guberna
torial candidates: will continue to pay
exclusive attention to Congressional De-
serters and Donothings.
Will have my say about the Glover
case, later on. After Old Man Peepul
has expressed himself at the polls on the
23rd of this month.
One of the purest patriots of Georgia,
a friend to both Smith and Watson, and
sincerely DESTROYS of healing the breach
between them, wrote to the Ex-Governor
the letter to which such beautiful reply
was made over the name of Hoke Smith.
The public reputation of the letter car
ried sore disappointment to the good old
man who received it and had it for
warded to me, in order that might be
convinced of Hoke's magnanimity. 1t
will be noticed that in my use of the
letter which thus came into my posses
sion. I was not only conciliatory but COM
plimentary in my reference to the ex-
Governor.
Hardwck probably deceived him, as
to what | had said-.;ust us Rev. Tom
Holmes and the son of judge Newman
were deceived T. E. w.

do YOU think of the Gubernatorlal situa-
ton 2" Then he states that he is recelV-
ING scores of letters from all parts OF the
State, urging him to run for Governor.
NV reply to this letter was the one which
he used in this controversy in proof OF his
assertion that | was a slate-maker. Inc
ambitious little schemer outlined his pro-
gram; and then, when ] advised him not
to run for the Senate until later, offering
to support him if he carried out his idea
of running for Governor, he uses my an
s1uer to has tent0tiUe proposition to proUe
that am q sIdte-mdker.
In the course of the same letter he in
vited me to write to him "as fully and as
plainly as you wish, aoith an assurance
that / shall treat yoWr letter, or letters,
ON this subject aoith absolute and 1nO1o-
late confidence at all times and under all
circumstances.
What will gentlemen say, when they
recall the fact that the very letter which
was written in response to this invita-
ton. and under his assurance of absolute
and inviolate confidence, a0as published
by Harduick IN aodrfare aOhach he began
ON me nithout the slightest pro0ocatiomy
Now, gentlemen, having shown you how
he dishonored himself by his public use OF
q priUate letter aohich he had secured I'M
der such q solemn promise, let me prove
to you by evidence equally incontestable
how he tried to deceive you as to
the Glover case. [ will not ask
you to take my word that Hard
wick, seated at my own hearth,
gave me his promise to help me secure
from Governor Smith a communication of
Glover's sentence. He would probably de-
nv it; and some would believe me, while
others would believe him. Consequently,
nothing but his own written statements
will be put in evidence against him. I'm
der date of November IL, 1907, he wrote,
speaking of recent trip to Atlanta: 81
called the Governors attention to the pc
tition for communication of sentence in the
Glover case. I think that was the name,
as | remember it now. He said that the
papers had not yet (then) reached him,
but that when they did so, he would look
into it carefully and do the best he could.
| suggest that you write him on the sub
ject. l haze already backed your request
as strongly as could"
On January %, 1908, Hardwick wrote:
"My Dear Mr.. Watson: When next

the Glover matter with him. | haze done
so t,cice, IN PERSON" After calling at
tention that the regular way to proceed
was to take the case before the pardon
board first, he says, "If that fails, | aoiU
do all can to aid you aoith him, as the
last resort / don't think Mr. Wright
has influenced him in the matter"

 What may be termed the para mount issue in this campaign are creation of the office of Tax Collector and placing the Lonoke county officers on stated salaries. 1 favor both, but the people are to vote on them July P, and the only reason the candidates are discussing these questions is be- cause the County Central Com mittee so directed. If these measures carry at the polls, that will be recommendation to the legislature to enact bills for same; if the two measures fail at the polls, that is the end of it. 1 am going to vote for each, and am the only candidate in the race for representative who has so expressed himself on every stump in the present campaign.

To the voters of Carlisle and
 vicinity:

10 the voters or CafllSle ana
 vicinity:
 It so happens that our County primary election comes months after the State primary this time. You viii recall that 1 was defeated March 30th, in my earnest effort to win promotion to the State Senate, losing by only S3 votes in the two counties, following the hottest fight ever waged by the politicians of Lonoke county on a man who dared to assert ownership of his own soul.
 My friends of all sections of the county petitioned and urged me to enter the race for re nomination as your representa- tive. 1 learn that the same in fuences and forces are covertly and quietly fighting me that op- posed me four months ago, but the assurances and expressions 1 meet every where, lead me to believe 1 have more real friends than ever before.
 There are 6 of us in the race; two to be nominated Look them oyer and vote for the best men, according to your judgment. My campaign policy and platform are open and above-board at all times. My record in the last legislature is open to inspection 1 did no act of which 1 am ashamed. If you send me again 1 shall renew the fight for State Uniformity of School Books, and for the creation of a Convict Pordoning Board. I favor a specific and special University Tax, to take the place of the cumbersome legislature appro- priation now performed every two years. 1 shall vote for a ratification of the Income Tax Amendment also. I do not favor a continuation of so much local
