WASHINGTON, June 26.-The ia.
nous Cunningham Alaskan coal land
claims through which it has been al.
legged that the Morgan-Gueggenhe
syndicate had planned to extend their
vast interests lin Alaska and to con.
troll one of the most valuable coal
fields in the world, were today finally
disallOwed by the department of the
interior.
Secretary of the Interior Walter
Fisher having approved the depart
ments decision as handed down by
Fred bennett, commissioner of the
land office, the last door is believed
to have been closed to the Cunning
ham claimants. Their attorneys have
threatened an appeal to the United
States supreme court, but such an ap-
peal can be based only on some point
Of law involved and not on the find
'llgs of The fact as announced by the
department. The Cunningham claims
have been in the public eye constant
ly for more than two years past They
brought about the Ballinger-PinchOt
investigation by Congress and the dis
missal from tIle public service of Chief
Forester Clifford Pinchot, Louis r:
CLAWS, chief of the field division in
the land office, and several minor Of
ficials. Both PinchOt and CLAWS were
dismissed for insubordination, in
clin ed to their attacks on former Sec
retary Rallinger, whom they claimed
was favorably disposed toward the
claims. In announcing the decision of
the department, Fisher, who sue
ceeded Ballinger last March, declared
that the new coal land laws are
needed in Alaska if that territory is
to be developed properly in the set
Element the secretary said.
'This is the final decision of the
Cunningham claims so far as the de-
partment of the interior is concerned.
Any further proceedings will be mere
ly formal for the purpose of perfect
ing HE record on the case. The claim
ants think there are questions of law

WAS
BADLY INJURED
Especial to the Tribune)

RHAME, June 26-Ruth, the little
two-year old daughter of Frank De-
Kleinhan, was accidentally run over
by a wagon at the ranch 25 miles
southwest of town. The driver of
the wagon was passing near the ranch
and little boy came out to get a
hammer off the wagon. and while the
driver was talking to the boy, the
little girl came up on the opposite
side of the wagon unnoticed When
the team started the driver noticed
that the front wheels struck some
thing, and looking back saw the lit
tie girl the wheel had passed over
her head and it seems strange that
life was not crushed out of her in
stantly. She was brought at once to
the Rhame Hospital. DR.. Ewbank is
attending her and there seems to
be prospect for her recovery.

b0WbELLS BANK
STORY A CANARD

The Tribune knows for a certainty
that it got bum steer" in the article
published last week "a dispatch from
Bowbells) regarding the alleged dis
appearance OF the assistant cashier
of the state bank of Bowbells in
which story it was stated tnat a
rumor was current at Bowbells that
the cashier had left the city and that
he had with him some of the books
of the institution which were re-
quired by the attorney for the state
in the trial of G. L. Bickford. and that
the books were being secreted on ac-
count of fear that their appearance
in the case would implicate others
than Bickford. The Tribune is glad
of this opportunity to state that there
was no foundation for the report that
was sent out of Bowbells, evidently
for the purpose OF injuring the stand
ing of the bank and those connected
with it. All of the books that were
asked for by either side in the ase
have been presented to the court.
The assistant cashier referred to is
in E'owbells and his whereabouts were
at no time a secret. The publication
of the report was one of those things
sometimes confront publisher and
for which the Tribune is willing to
make amends in this manner.

ture Of Convention

DEVILS LAKE, June 26.-The edi
torial convention is thing of the
past and the residents of the city
have taken a long breath and will
again be able to proceed on their way
uninterrupted. That the meeting was
q success is attested to by the many
remarks of commentator by those
who were present. Saturday afternoon
was given over to sports and it is
stated that it was more fun than a
box of monkeys to see those who have
been used only to the typewriter and
the type case attempting to make
good as athletes.
The Sports.
Immediately after dinner the list OF
sports was taken up in the ball park
and for the rest of the afternoon there
was more fun than box of monkeys.
and it was dead heat between the
men and the women as to which made
the most noise or laughed the hardest.
1t was the greatest field sport day
ever seen in Devils Lake that the
North Dakota Editorial association put
on and ended in a splendid way the
pleasant tWo-day su-amer session OF
the press gang.
Tug Of War.
The piece de resistance was the tug
of war between the two bitter political
elements in the editorial association,
strong representatives of the "Pro'
gressives" being at one end of the
rope, while the ringleaders of the
gang" pulled at the other.
The "Progressives" composed such
leaders as Brewer, Colcord, Black.
Mitchell and Johnson, and, Of course.
they were laid out by the "Gangsters,' -
who included Walter Taylor, Packard,
Dan Brennan, Abbott and Wehe. It
was great circus and the crowd
worked about as hard as the contest
ants in their efforts to wrest victory
for their favorites.
Chased the Umpire.
Murder" was committed in the ball
game, Editor Richter, as umpire. rul-
ing like a tyrant. with a loaded re-
volver in the midf'. c' tle diamond.
Armed with clubs, the lawyers at last
chased Richter to the woods, pulled
him from tree, and with hands
bound brought him before the grand
stand, where he confessed he was glad
he stole the game for the editors.
After dead heat between Brewer
and Black. the "Kerner' won the
fat mans race.
Mrs. Norman Black won the potato
race.
Editor Tosteyin of Mandan won the
hack race.
Grant Hager and Col. Joe Kelly tied
at pie eating, after Westerhagen was
ruled off for throwing same over his
shoulder
After running a dead heat with
Blonde, Long won the 10O-yard dash.
Everybody's tired but happy. Devils
Lake is willing to wager that North
Dakota's newspaper men are the best
fellows in the world

Secretary of Interior Fisher Approves De-
CisiOn of Dennet
Case has Been in Public Eye Constantly for
Over Two Years
Morgan=Guggenheimer Syndicate Make APP
peal to Supreme Court

, which they desire to present to the
courts. 1t lis my understanding that
| it is conceded that the findings upon
the facts by the department are con-
elusive. 1t is the intention of the de-
partment to proceed at once to final
determination of all remaining Alask-
an coal claims so far as this can
properly be done, denying those that
should be denied, and granting those
that should be granted, as rapidly as
possible. Commissioner bennett in
his decision, holding the claims for
cancellation on the ground of fraud,
declares that each of the 33 entries
was improperly allowed because Of
fatal defects apparent on their face.
He asserts that the government con-
clusively established the charge
brought against ahe claimants and
that there is no doubt but that an
agreement existed among them in VIC
lation of law. The thirty-three claims
involved amounted to an aggregate
area of $3.50 acres. The value of the
land has been established high in the
millions. The coal embraced in the
claims is said to be nile finest in the
world. The government charge against
Cunningham and his associates was
that their entries of coal land were
made in pursuance Of an understand
ing and agreement, entered into by all
the claimants prior to location, to
combine the several claims for the
