Finds Out Rather Late That Part
OF Its ToWnsite Is
Homesteaded.
APPEAL TO THE LAND BOARD
Seek to HIVE Entrymcn Oustcd on
Showing of No Agricultural
-nluc in the Land.

After spending 100000 In laying the
foundation for city at Wendover. just
over the Utah line from Nevada, the
Western Pacific Rallroad company dis
covered recently that homestead en-
tries had been made in the middle OF
the townslte since the company filed
on the land. The company laid the
matter before the state board of land
commissioners Monday and 1t VIII
probably be taken up before the de-
partment of the Interior with view
of having them ousted. The land board
has begun It's investigation and II Is
believed that the entries were made
with the view OF holding up the rail-
road for a fancy price.
Last May the Western Pacific Of
flcials were induced TO establish tho
terminal in Utah, and started the
building of town known as Wendover
A tract of 562 acres was filed upon
before the land board. Then the board
sent the official blank afIidavits to the
company to be fllled out declaring that
the land was non-mineral The Of
ficials neglected to fill out the blanks
and return them so the state land
board was unable to file the applica-
ton In the United States land office,
The state land board believes that
and fled homestead entries on this
land The Western Pacific has been
improving the land. but recently learn
ed that the company did not own it.
One entry was for leo acres and the
other for 100 acres. These entries lie
in the center of the townsite and two
of the buildings erected by the West
ern Pacific are on the land. The land
Is not fit for agricultural purposes
and the members of the state land
board feel that the entrymen can be
ousted.
Several sheepmen met with the state
board OF land commissioners Monday
afternoon and talked over the matter
of leasing the state lands In forest
reserves for grazing purposes The
sheep men declare that they could
not afford to pay 10 cents an acre per
annum for the land. There are a num-
Der OF bids for grazing privileges to
be opened Feb. 2, the next regular
meeting OF the board.

and starve If the home government
would not rescue them. The Mexican
government was tired Of them, and
turned the patriots loose.
About that time Craig's father and
some other relatives, who had just
learned of their kinsman's plight,
went to Mexico and rescued him.
Then they sued the Mexicans for
$4,000 damages and succeeded in
securing one-fiftieth of that amount.
Mr.. Craig settled down on farm
and proposed to lead the quiet life,
bust just then the civil war broke out
and he became mixed up in that.
Back in Prison.
Soon he was home in prison again
and stayed another eighteen months,
finally being exchanged for another
prisoner of war. He finished out the
war as sharpshooter on the Confed-
crate side.
Quit the Strenuous Life.
After the war was over Mr.. Craig s
great adventures came to an end. He
wandered around over the United
States finding some adventure every.
where, but the thrilling days stopped
with the civil war.
Now he has settled down in Wen
atchee and is known and remembered
as the city's most peaceful and pic
turesque inhabitant.

LEGISLATORS MUST
FACE JURY
FORTY.NINE OUT OF So DEMO-
Gratis CALLED TO TELL WHAT
THEY KNOW ABOUT ALLEGED
PURCHASE OF SEAT in SENATE

Chicago, May 4.-Forty-nine out
Of the So democratic legislators in
Illinois will be summoned before the
special grand jury here to tell what
they know about the alleged pur-
chase of his seat in the United
States senate by William Lorimer.
Subpoenas are now being sent out
for these men. The four not sum-
moned are Lee O'Neill Browne, mi
nority leader; Representative White,
the confessor; Representative Will
son, whom White says gave him
5000, and Representative Luke, who
is dead
Representative White was on hand
yesterday to relate his story in de-
tail to the grand jury, but a dispute
arose as to the method of procedure
ana he was permitted to cool his
heels in the ante-room while the diff
ference was being adjusted. 1t is
probable he will go before the jury
today.
Meanwhile Senator Lorimer's sec
rotary arrived from Washington
bearing letter from White to the
senator, which the latter says will
prove that White is mentally unba1-
anced. Lorimer refused to give out
this letter. Lee O'Neill Browne,
several of whose alleged personal let
tiers to White were published today,
was not to be found, and 1t was an
nounced he had gone out of the
city.
Politicians generally doubt that
convictions can be obtained upon the
unsupported confession of White. In
dications are, however, that all OF
the down-state legislators may cor
roborate Whites story.
One. feature of the days develop
ments is the prospect OF libel suits
by Senator Lorimer, who charges
that the entire business Is a con-
spiracy to injure his two banks
which have just opened for business.
Lorimer's friends said that If libel
suits were brought, they would be
delayed until the grand jury an
nounces its decision.

ROMANCE Of LITTLE
BASS DRUMMER
FAMILIAR LONG HAIRED BASS
DRUMMER AS RARE A CHAR
ACTER AS SEATTLE'S UMBREL-
LA MAN-LOCAL RELATIVES.

Uncle Sam Craig, better known as
"Rattlesnake Pete" known by every
man, woman AMI child in Wenatchee
and remembered by every man, wo-
man and child who ever saw Wenat-
chez, as the little long-haired bass
drummer who provides the biggest
part of the music for the Salvation
army, is one of the most unusual
characters in the world. Ranking
in picturesqueness with the famous
umbrella man Of Seattle, who appears
in every issue Of the Times, Uncle
Sam Craig bears history that is as
picturesque as his appearance is.
Recent sickness nearly laid the old
land mark up, but through the care
of DR.. Miller, the fatherly old Dunk
ard, and Thomas Cox the danger was
averted.
/ Biographical.

niece of Uncle Craig. He came
here from Missouri three years age
and stayed at Stehekin with Mrs
Field for a month before coming tc
Wenatchee.
Mr.. Craig was born in st. Louis
but has lived in nearly all the states
and traces his relations over all the
world.
Even in Wenatchee he claims dis
tant kinship with a dozen prominent
families, tracing the family tree fal
back into the misty past on Scottish
soil.
Family Weights and Measures.
His great grandfather, Billy Hogg
great grandfather also of the Texa:
governor, lived to be 104 years old
and weighed five hundred pounds
Great grandmother Hogg was lighter
tipping the scales at 90 pounds.
