At Close Quarters With a Lion

Unless cornered, a lion will sell

If he does so, it is only under the
most favorable conditions for a
stalk-such conditions as were

morning hours, when l was alone

of twigs and leaves, a corner

little game had fallen to the

MARK & HUNT COMING.
Well Known Horse Dealers to Hold
Another Big Sale in Fargo
Soon.

A letter from Emmett Mark, of the
firm of Mark & Hunt, the we'll known
horse dealers, reports him and his
partner as having been busy for the
past several weeks through northwest
ern Dakota and the state of Montana
gathering UP large bunch of choice
western horses for their different sales
Mark & Hunt hold sales In many of the
larger towns of Montana, North Dakota
and Minnesota, and everywhere they do
business they carry the good will of
buyers generally. They are especially
partial to Fargo, where they have held
many successful sales and where they
have a great many friends and satisfied
customers. On this buying trip they
have had in view the object of picking
out the best animals of the lot for their
next sale in Fargo, and expect to be
here soon with one of the most select
punches of young western draft horses
ever brought to the city. Besides this
they will also bring number of choice
western saddle horses to meet the
growing demand for that class of stock.
and no doubt their next Fargo sale will
be one of the best they have ever held,
with an added list of we'll pleased
patrons. The date of this sale will be
announced in The Forum later.

No Parallel for Jones' Case.
If the reports from Anamoose are
correct, Hauck's case is no parallel for
that of Andy Jones, which was aired in
the federal court here last winter. 1t
is claimed that the ex-cashier of the
Anamoose bank confined his manipula-
lions to trivial amounts of $40 and $50
and the like. II is claimed that the
total embezzlement was not over ST.
500. The discrepancy which has COW
cred period of years, was discovered
about the first of the year by nation

started which would eventually bring
the guilty man to justice. Hauck dis

NO RECEIyERSHIP FOR
PROSPEROUS TAILORS,
Court Denies One Partners Ap-
pIicatiOn Against Another.

Vice-Chancellor Emery today denied
the application for a receiver made by
George c. Miller, who is in partnership
with Thomas f. Maloney in a custom
tailoring business at 1893 Broad street.
Miller and Maloney started the BUSH
ness as partners on January 2, 1908,
with the agreement to continue as sue
until May 1, 1912. Miller took are Of
the concerns books and the financial
end of the business, while Maloney was
the cutter, measured for suits and took
orders from customers.
According to Maloney, he found some
Irregularities in the books last month
and asked Miller to explain them to
him. Miller is said to have refused,
upon which Maloney took the books
from the safe and brought them to an
auditing concern in New York to have
them examined
After this the two partners could not
agree and a short time ago Maloney
applied for a dissolution of the business
before the time stipulated in the agree
ment. He was represented by Jacob r.,
Newman. Subsequent to Maloney's ap-
plication for dissolution Miller, through
his counsel, Elwood G. Harris, applied
for a receiver to take charge of the
business. In denying h receivership
application the vice-chancellor de-
clared he believed the business to be

that no cause had been shown by the
applicant why a receiver should be
appointed. Miller will have a chance to
state his case when the hearing on the
application for dissolution is given at

LAND GRANTS
CONTESTED IN U. S.
SUPREME COURT
Citizens of Kentucky Fight for
~Homes-MiIliOns of Acres
Involved.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S.-More than
in the State of Kentucky is of ques-
toned ownership and its title is being
fought for today in the Supreme Court
of the United States. The confusion
is the result of carelessness on the part
Of Virginia in Issuing grants imme-
diately after the Revolutionary War.
OF the moun in dispute the Eastern
Kentucky Coal Lands Corporation. of
which c. B. TIillhouse is accredited
with being the chief stock owner,
claims title to half a million acres.
Call Citizens sauatters.
On the other hand, 300, 900 citizens of
the State of Kentucky have entered
these lands. Claimants under the
blanket grants, issued by Virginia,
call them "squatters." The attorney
general of the commonwealth of Ken
lucky has appeared in Supreme Court
to assert in defense of their claim OF
title that they are'the people who have
built up the State and erected a com
monwealth, with It's court-houses and
sc~hoolhouses. its municipalities and in
ternal Improvement.
In the background of the legal con-
test are many stories of conflict and
suffering resulting from the confusion
Of ownership. Not only have there
been conflicts between the claimants
by virtue of the blanket" grants and
of possession, but hundreds Of innocent
purchasers of fictitious titles to the
land are said to have spent their en-
tire fortune in going to Kentucky, only
to find someone already in possession
OF the land for which they had paid
their money.

TO SAVE A MILLION A YEAR
BY SMALLER BANKNOTES.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S.-secreta=y
MaeVeagh's proposal to reduce the size
of paper money has progressed to a
point where the problem of working
out a plan for a uniform national
banknote is a serious n A commit
tee is soon to make a report, with
some recommendations.
1t is said to be impracticable to re-
duce the size of the governments eur
rency without reducing national bank
notes to the same size. If that be pos
sible it is declared the 1000 national
banks of the United States could save
5000. 900 a year, in addition to the 5000, :
900 the government expects to save.
1t will require an act of Congress
to change the wording now on ma
tionaI banknotes and that is neces-
sary before the size can be reduced.

COUNTY PAYS FOR
ADVICE THAT WAS
TO Be GRATU|TOUS
Thousands of Dollars Received
by Overlook Asylum Com
tractors from FreehOlders.

Not a little comment has beer oc-
the Overlook Appraisal Commission
at the session yesterday afternoon that
Hurd & Sutton. the architects who pre-
pared the plans for the $4,000, 900 asy-
lum, received thousands of dollars for
work that it was specifically under
stood was to be performed at no Ok
pense to the county. The exposure Is
looked upon as one of the most signif-
cant regarding the lax methods OF the
Board of Freeholders.
The payments involved. amounting to
$12, 1928, were for advice by experts en-
gagged with the consent of the free
holders, but with the understanding
thai the county would not have TO foot
the bill. This understanding was en-
bodied in a resolution, the probers have
found, in the minutes of the freehold
ers' building committee. Harry Housed,
clerk In the county auditors office, who
was a witness at h hearing yester-
day, testified that he reimbursed the
architects through ignorance of the
resolution. Mr.. Housed further said
that the architects fees, not counting
this unauthorized item, amounted TO
S101, 500.
In the contract between Anton Harl-
finger and the county for the cleo
trical work at Overlook a paragraph
was found demanding that a certified
check of 2 per cent of the amount
of the old bid accompany the bid and
that in case the contract was not exc
cuted, or the old withdrawn, the check
be retained.
Check Is Returned. t
The bid of the Browe Company for
the electrical work, as testified some
time ago, was permitted to be with
drawn and the certified check mount
ing to more than $1,400 was also re-
turned. Ralph B. Schmidt, who exc
cuted the contract for the plumbing
work at Overlook, was also called as
O. witness. He was an under-con-
tractor for H~enningham, Kilgus and
Miller Brothers. The only contract in
| connection with Overlook which he
received from the county direct was
a contract for machines. The amount
was about S11, 900, he said, and he was
given the work because he was the
lowest bidder. His contract with Hen
ningham amounted to s11b, 900 approx
mately, with Miller Brothers, $45, 900,
and with Kilgus, $4,000.
Mr.. Schmidt told the commissioners
that 81, 800 of his contract price was
being withheld by H~enningham. He
could give the commissioners no other
reason for this han that Mr.. Hem
ningham withheld the money as a per-
centage of the money that had been
held back on him by the county. The
witness stated that there had been no
complaints about his work County
Counsel Joseph Mum, who was to in
form the commissioners. about. the act
under which contracts for work are
being given out by the Board of Free
holders, was not present.

When no complaint was entered to-
day against Amos L. Sterling, 25 years
old. Of 45S Fifteenth avenue who was
arrested last night by Roundsmana Ill
rich. of the Fourth precinct, the pris-
oner's attorney, James McDermit, tried
to prefer charges against the police
man. Sterling declared that in making
the arrest Ulrich used unnecessary vio-
lence. The policeman asserted, how
ever, that, on the contrary, Sterling was
the aggressor, attempting to. kick his
captor. whereupon the case was
dropped.
Sterling's arrest was The result of a
dispute with Michael Dreshler, of A
Willoughby street, which originated in
negotiation for the swapping Of a mule
owned by Dreshler for a horse owned
by Sterling.

81 am inclined to think that a physf-

terminal points, would prove that the
railroads are worth more than the
amount of their stock and bono issue,
