moustache are exactly the same al

that has been and is to be instituted
by the government, looking to the
restoration to full-b blood Indians Of
lands which they were induced to
deed away, without having legal au-
thority. The government has already
instituted about $50 suits to nuIify the
transfers. More suits will be insti-
tuted in the near future. The total
number OF cases will aggregate in the
neighborhood of 1000.
How soon the cases, or any Of them,
will be tried is not known. There are
many technical questions of law in
connection with them that must be
settled before the suits can be started
in court. Already forty-eight de-
murrers to the suits that have been
instituted have been filed by the at
torneys for land the companies hold
ing the alleged fraudulent allotment
lands.
These demurrers are likely to be
argued some time during the latter
part OF the present month. Mr.. Houpt

FAMOUS Jones
Will CASE ENDS
CONTRASTING DAUGHTER LOST
oUT-TRIED TO PROVE DE-
CEASED WAS NOT RE-
SPoNSIRLE.

Minnewaukan, N. D., Jan. 14.--Judge
Lilies of the county court of this county
has just rendered his decision in the
contest case over the will of the late
John r. Jones, whose home for more
than twenty years prior to his death,
last fall, has been near Leeds, in this
county. The bulk of the property was
left, by the will, to the widow and one
of the sons, Harry Jones, formerly reg
lister of deeds of this county. The
old gentleman, who was about 50 years
Of age, had been cared for the past
two years by his son and his wife.
Small legacies were left to each of the
other children and grandchildren.
Cine Of the daughters, Mrs. Mary
Taylor, of Minneapolis, contested the
probate of the will, alleging want of
testlmentaryS capacity and undue in
fluence. The latter charge wholly fail
ed, the contestant offering no proof
whatever on that subject; on the score
OF lack of capacity the contestant at
tempted to show that the old gentle
man had some decisions relative to
cer'ain persons attempting to poison
his food, and also that he thought that
certain 'green-veiled men from the
north" had been attempting to take
possession of some of his buildings and
that man whom he called John DE"
had been prowling about his house at
night
However as the evidence Of the con-
testant showed that the will favored
those whom the testator afterwards
thought might be trying to poison him,
and as it further appeared that on all
other matters the testator was SEN
sible and intelligent, and that his bus
mess Judgment was at all times good,
and that at the time Of making the
will he understood what he was do
ing, the general nature of his property
and his relation to his family, and the
evidence also showed that the delus-
ions which he was laboring under in
nowise affected the provisions of the
will, the court overruled the objec-
tons of the contestant and admitted
the will to probate.
The case has aroused much local. in
terest and was very carefully and
closely tried on both sides. Buttz &
Sinness, attorneys of this place, ap-
peared for Harry Jones' sustaining the
will, while Atty. T. H. Burke. a broth
err of Judge Burke, appeared for the
contestant. 1t is said that an appeal
may be taken to the district court

Pussy Charged With Knocking Over
Lamp Which Started Blaze.

Mystic, Ia, Jan. 14.-One hundred
and fifty thousand dollars worth Of
property went up in smoke early this
morning when twenty business and pri-
vate houses were burned. Owing to
the short supply Of water it was i'm
possible to stop the fire until two
buildings in the path of the flames
were wrecked. The total insurance, it
is estimated, is $4,000.
While it probably never will be
known exactly what caused the fire.
it is supposed to have been caused By
cat in the general merchandise store
Of the NJ c. Talbot Co. knocking over
a lamp which was kept burning as a
precaution against burglars.
The heaviest losers were the Swan
son Bros. Co, general merchandise,
$4,000; the Lodwig Supply Co, mining
tools, $4,000; d. w. Forsyth & Son
Co, hardware. $4,000; and the R. For

SALTWATER man
slain BY STEPSON
FAMILY JANGLE AS RESULT OF
LIQUOR RESULTS FATALLY
IN PRISON CITY.

Saltwater, Mimi, Jan. 14.-Because
he came home in an intoxicated con-
dition and endeavored to put his wife
out of his home, William H. Elias,
aged so, and a resident of Saltwater
for thirty years, is dead with a bullet
in his heart, and his stepson, George
Sears, aged II, formerly employed by
John Sheeham, Minneapolis grocer, Is
in Jail. He alleges that the shooting
was accidental, but admits that he
pointed his fathers 2-caliber revolver
at his parent when the latter, returning
home in an intoxicated condition last
evening, endeavored to put Mrs, Elias
out Of the house.
Elias is a common laborer, has been
heavy drinker and during the three
years of domestic life with his second
wife, who was Mary Sears, quarrels
have been frequent. Last night Elias
brought home with him large bottle
of alcohol. He was under the influence
of liquor, according to his stepson's
statement, and attempted to raise a
rough house, Upon his attempt to
eject his wife from the home the wom-
ans son interfered, and admits tina:
when his protests were futile he went
to the bureau and procured the family
32-caliber revolver which he aimed
at his stepfather, with the admonition,
Don't you do it," as the latter was
about to push the woman through the
door into the cold,
Elias, it is said paid no heed, and
the boy alleges that the shot which re-
suited was accidental and not inten-
tional. He stated, after giving the
alarm and submitting to arrest, that
he had had no intention of injuring
his stepfather, but wanted to scare
him into leaving his mother alone. The
boy was locked in the city Jail, and
a .coroners jury will investigate the

BIG DAIRYMEN
COMING TO N. D.
MANY SPECIALLY INTERESTING
ADDRESSES WILL BE GIVEN
AT JAMESTOWN CON-
VENTION.

jamestown, N. D., Jan. 14.-The
North Dakota Dafrymen in their an
nual convention to be held in James
town, Feb. and will have many
interesting features. One is that of
substituting several ten minute talks
to fill certain periods instead of lengthy
discussions of one subject. 1t is be-
lieved that this plan will bring out
more general discussion as the sub
jects assigned all bear directly on
questions that are active in the minds
of the dairymen and they will be able
to secure information suited to their
individual needs.
Important subjects will also be dis
cussed at greater length by such au-
thorities as B. D. White, dairy divi-
sion, Washington, D. c.; Prof. Thomas
Shaw, Col. r. A. Wilkinson, Joel G.
Winkier, formerly federal dairy as
sistant in North Dakota but now dairy
and food commissioner of Minnesota,
e. K. Slater, secretary of the Nation
al Dairy union, Chicago; Peter Miller,
formerly Of Glendale, but now living
in Morris, Mimi; DR.. ]. w. Durham
and Prof. J. H. Shepperd of Fargo;
w. F.. Schilling, president of the Min
nesota Dairymen's association, and J.
c. christensen, New Salem.
One evening session, that of Feb. s.
has been planned with the idea of
supplying something of especial in
terest to the citizens of jamestown
as we'll as the dairymen. DR.. ]. w.
Durham will deliver an illustrated
lecture on Sanitary Diaries and Dairy
Products and j. w Foley will read
from his own writings. Mr.. Foley
promises selections suitable to the
occasion. If fine favored sweet cream
may be considered the poetical pro-
duction of agriculture, and the dairy
men believe il may, with Doctor Dun
ham and Mr.. Foley supplying the
evenings programme this might posi-
bly, be considered a poetical session.
Dairy and creamery butter will be
held in connection with the conven-
ton.
Two beautiful trophies aggregating
over 800 in values will be provided
by the Northern Pacific Railway Co.
for the winners OF the highest score
in the dairy butter and creamery but
ter classes.
In addition to this, liberal cash
premium funds will be pro rated in
each class, the lowest scoring sam
pie in each case to receive one point
OF the premium, and higher scores
additional premium money according
to the rating of the samples. only
one sample of butter may be entered
for a family or creamery.
