Land SEEKERS IN
LINEA1 CROOKSTON
FIRST CLASH FOR PRECEDENCE
AT THE OFFICE DooR-MANY
OFF FOR WARRoAD.

Crookston, Mimi, June 15.-The line
before the United States land Office
was organized last night after a dis
pute which started early yesterday
The land office officials refused to
recognize the iand-hungry until those
in the line reached an agreement
among themselves. Each of two
squads of four men claimed to be the
first four. One squad had been here
a week visiting the landoffice every
day and the second squad formed at
a. m. yesterday when no one else
was present, but the officials ruled
that the other quartette, having called
every day, was entitled to precedence,
and thus trouble was avoided.
The police were called to prevent
trouble. There are but thirty men in
line here now, but at least 800 who
came here for a chance at the land
have run up against the rule making

MAN MURDERED
IN BOWERY HOTEL

New York, June ia man. whose
name is given by the police as Frank
Stickett and who is believed to have
come here recently from Baltimore,
was found murdered in a bowery ho-
tel. A revolver bullet had entered
his left temple, causing instant death,
physicians say. There was no trace of
the revolver.
The victim of the murder was reg
istered with another man at the hotel
early this morning as John Stickett
and brother Frank" The supposed
brother was not to be found when the
body was discovered. The clothing of
the dead man apparently was purchased
in Baltimore. The name of that city
on his clothing and the card of a New
York electrical concern in coat
pocket were the only clues left to aid
a search for the mans antecedents,
He was apparently an Englishman
about 20 years of age.

HOLDING UP 500
FOR RIGHT-OF-WAY
ExHoRBITANT PRICES BEING DE-
MANDED-BUILDIN is BE-
ING DELAYED.

Devils Lake, N. D., June 15.-It is
said that the 500 railroad is expert
encing some difficulty in getting right
of-way in and near the city. Exhorbi-
tant prices are being asked for right
of-way and the matter of pushing
work is being greatly retarted on this
account.
The right agent of the Great
Northern says that the highest price
paid for right of-way on the line from
Fargo to Surrey was 800 per acre
which was for Red river valley land
where the damage was great. The 500
Is being asked as high as $500 and in
some cases as high as $500 per acre
for right of-way across farms near
Devils Lake The right of-w way agents
are becoming discouraged with the
prospects of making amicable settle
ments. Condemnation suits are slow
and expensive, but it is possible that
they will have to be resorted to.

Herbert Bryant, presided. ;,
NIr. Stabler reported that commit,
tee from the 0. +. A. had informed
him that tacir presentation OF nag
for Lee building would be attended with
no cost to the bead. but the order
would appreciate SINE ceremony on
the part OF the board ut the presenta-
ton. He suggested that the flag be ac-
cepted and that definite arrangements
be made later for any ceremony that
might be deemed necessary.
DIR. Smith moved that the flag be &C
copied and that the chairman appoint
a committee to receive it. This was
adopted and the chairman appointed
DR.. Smith on the part Of the board and
Mr.. Conrad Johnson, principal Ut Lee
School, on the part OF that school to

to notify the officers OF the 0. +. A. OF
the action OF the board.
Mr.. Slabler reported that the tin
work inside the cupola OF Lee building
had rusted and that the flooring OF the
cupola would have to be repaired. He
also reported that the cost Of erecting
fuel sheds at the two colored buildings
would he about 500. 1t was decided
t. indefinitely postpone this work.
AIr. Stabler also reported that repair
work OH the several buildings had been
made; that some Of the old furniture
had been removed from Lee to Hal
lowell building; that the west end OF
Lee school lot had been washed out by
the recent rain and to protect it sod
ding had been resorted TO; and that
after repairs had been made to the two
colored school buildings, these build
ings were now in fairly good condition..
He said that the furnace men had re-
ported that in order to get the best re-
suits from the furnaces in Washington
building certain alterations in the brick
work around them must be made, and
this had been done.
A number OF bills for repairs and
supplies were ordered to be paid.
A letter was received from Mr.. G. G..
Maphis, examiner OF the Third circuit,
stating that at recent meeting of the
committee on apportioning the high

the boys high school at Alexandria.
A letter from G. w. Zachary, presi-
dent OF the State Teachers Association,
was received requesting that this board
send representatives to attend the meet
ing Of the association to be held in
Richmond.
The superintendent said he would
like some of the trustees to attend the
meeting with him, but no action was
taken.
The superintendent has accepted an
invitation to visit the schools in Wash
ington next week and has invited any OF
the trustees who could do so To accom-
papy him.
