principal of our high school, wilt
give an evening recital on ella
watha" at the high school assembly
room on Friday evening, December
Is. This recital will have a musical
accompaniment. Miss Peterson was
a fine elocutionist when in Princeton
and has been doing special work
along that line for the last three
years. The following is from the
Monticello Times: The "Hiawatha''
recital at the Presbyterian church last
evening was one of the most delight
full of the entertainments of the
season. Miss Peterson showed a dis
eliminating and delicate conception
OF the beauties and the pathos of the
great poem and she had the elocu-
tionary training to present to her
audience her own Interpretation of
the thoughts of the poem.

Spotter Shine Hastily Decamps,


N. A. Shine, one of the so-called
detectives in the Presley case, was ar
rested On Saturday and taken before
Justice Norton charged with furnish
ing beer to a minor. While being
examined in the Presley: case Shine
admitted offering the boy a bottle,
but the boy returned 1.-THE refused to
drink. From this admission the
justice court case resulted. It
seems that Shine and his brother
spotter came to Princeton from Milaca
in an automobile and took back with
them a number of bottles, one of
which Shine offered to young Schedin
as above stated. Shine pleaded not
guilty to the charge of furnishing
liquor to minor before Justice
Norton and, knowing no one here
who would 60 on his bail bond, he
asked the justice to free him on his
own recognizance. This Mr.. Norton
did, but told him to appear on Mon
day morning at o'clock in district
court. But at that time Mr.. Shine
was far, far away. he took time by
the forelock-early, very early, on
Sunday morning, before Old Sol had
shown his face, Mr.. Shine departed
for Elk River in livery rig. The
fact that Mr.. Shine folded his tent
and silently stole away will naturally
lead most people to believe that be
was guilty of the offense charged.

HOMES At DOG CANYON IN DANCER;
ENTRIES SHOULD BE MADE 1T ONCE

Las Cruces, n. NJ, Aug. 26--The
land contest cases of James L. Mayo
vs. Thomas ]. Cox. involving title to
the south half of the southeast quarter
of section IA and the north half Of
the northeast quarter of section %,
and also against Samuel D. Camp. in
volving title to the south half OF the
northeast quarter and the north half
of the southeast quarter OF section II,
all in township Is, south of range 3
east. is an illustration OF the trouble
incurred by a man not keeping in
touch with the status of the land on
which he has settled.
Township Is south Of range 3 east is
a fractional township on the line Of
the Ell Paso & Southwestern at Sham
rock, where the Dog canyon switch
used to be. This township with the
one just east OF 1t and the one just
north, was surveyed but few months
ago and on June ii. 1911, the plat was
filed in the United States land office
at this place.
James L Mayo. Samuel D. Camp and
Thomas ]. Cox were all living on the
government land which was unsurveyed
at that time, and. as soon as the land
was surveyed and the plat approved.
L0ey applied TOT entry at the lOcdl 1dIO
office. The contests OF Mayo were not
filed until the 26th. showing that he
allowed II days to pass after the plat
was filed before he took steps to pro-
tect his right OF entry.
In the meantime Camp and Cox Sc
cured their entries and then the con-
test was filed by Mayo making ale
cations OF prior settlement and resi-
dence. The case consumed three days
and required the presence Of nearly 20
witnesses, who came all the way from
Shamrock across the white sands by
wagon.
Decision on the evidence as sub
mitted will be rendered by the register
and receiver as soon as the testi-
mony can be Transcribed by the
stenographer, and then the usual ap-
peals will be taken to the commission
er OF the general land office and the
secretary OF the interior.
In consideration OF this case an ex-
animation OF the records became nee
essary and 1t was found that the plat
is on file in the United States land
office for township IT south of range
10 east. This plat was filed on jan
uary Is, 1910. and yet, according to
the survey. there are several places
which have been partially improved
by fences, houses, ETC.. which have not
been entered, the claimant living on
