JAMESTOWN, DAKOTA THURSDAY APRIL
LAND CONTEST CASE DECIDED
A preference Right Claimed by Set
tier Sustained

A decision has been reached in the
land contest case of Mark Crandall
VS.. Edward Conway, a contest over
a homestead. Crandall claimed to
have secured the right to file on the
land on the ground of holding sett-
lers right. A preference right had
previously been claimed by Luke
Crandall to the same land. Conway
filed an application for the claim,
and the next day Crandall also filed
an application for the claim accom-
panied by the REIMBURSEMENT of Luke
Crandall. The Land Office sustained
the Conway claim and Mark Gran
dali contested on the ground that he
had established settlers right to
the land three weeks before having
established a residence thereon, built
house, etc. TIL case has been fin
ally decided by the commissioner of
the general land Office who holds that
Mark Crandail is entitled to the land,
reversing the decision of the local Of
flee. The land commissioner holds
that Crandall having established a
residence on the land, was entitled
to settlers right at the time that
Conway filed. Carr and Kneeland
represented Crandall, the contestant
in the case, which is somewhat un-
usual in it's nature. The land lies
about seven miles northwest of Me-
dina.

ALL CLEVELAND
MOURNS JOHNSON
Former Mayor Favune with
the People Generally.

Cleveland, April 12.-A1l Cleveland
is mourning the death of former
Mayor Tom L. johnson, the father of
the Scent car fare, and arrangements
are being perfected Tor tribute by
the entire city which will probably
take the form of a general suspension
OF business during the funeral.
Johnson's death resulted from cir.
rhosis of the liver after long illness.
So great was the prominence that
johnson won in his eight-year fight
for the 3-cent car fare that messages
paying tribute were received by the
family from practically every man
prominently connected with public
affairs in the entire country.
1t is estimated that Johnson's es-
tate WIFI not amount to more than
100000. At the time he first became
mayor of Cleveland he was many
times a millionaire. In order to de-
vote his entire time, however, to the
ends for which he was fighting, he
left the management of his personal
affairs to Others with the result that
in 1908 1T seemed that his entire for
tune would be swept away. He gath
cred up the remnants of it, however,
gave up his private mansion. for a
suite in an apartment house and then
continued to devote his entire time
to public affairs.

WILL CHANGE
TO OIL BURNERS
Great Northern Road Will Discon.
= tinue Coal Burners ON En-
gines
gtnes

The Great Northern railroad com
pany will endeavor to reduce the dan
ger of fire from sparks from locomo'
tives by discontinuing the use of coal
and substituting oil instead. One
hundred and fifteen locomotives on
the Great Northern line will have
their CRATES taken out and oil burn.
ing CRATES put in that crude oil may
be burned for fuel. The decision OF
the road to make the change is OF
great importance to lumbermen OF
Minneapolis, to whom the disastrous
western forest fires of last year brot
much concern and serious losses
The federal government has been
working with the railroads on the
theory that oil-burning locomotives.
operating through the heavy forested
regions of the western states would
reduce the fire risk very materially.
Pres. Louis W. Hill in recent west
ern trips, studied the subject closely.
Although forest fires originate from
many causes, it was the opinion of
the government experts that margin
of safety that would be important
could be obtained if the railroads
used no coal burners through the for
ests.
AS matter of careful considera-
tion of the matter, the Great North
ern is now at work on storage
plant at Everett, Wash, which will
take care Of 100000 gallons of
crude oil from which will be brot
up in ships from California.
Pres. Hill also studied the matter
of economy and has found that it
will be an advantage from that stand
point to use fuel oil.
Minneapolis lumbermen were af-
fected last year by the disastrous
forest fires in Washington, which
caused loss of life and which the gov
ernment forestry experts have esti-
mated. destroyed 700.o00.o00 feet of
timber.

to the effect that farmers not being
able to produce grain at less ex-
pense, would be forced to sell at low

profit they have been getting in the
last few years; that the treaty would
benefit the big interests and the
trusts and protect the trusts OF the
country at the expense of the farmer.

finally rclegatcd the white man
hone" to the limbo Of has-beens
there went up an almost unanimous
protest, not only IL this country but
in England, against tho pictures OF
the fight. Governors issued prOclama
tons, and councils passed ordinances
prohibiting their exhibition within
their jursdi>tion. The clergy raved
and the people imagined a vain thing,
all with one voice cOndemning the
brutality of prize fighting and point
ing out the perniciOuE, dcmoraliZing
effect of prize fight pictures upon the
young. Such a wave Of mock morality
there had not been seen before in
many a day.
There is on exhibition in this city
at the time this is being written NOV
ing pictures depicting the life Of
, Beulah Binford, Beulah Binford, the
direct cause of the murder of a good
wife. the imminent execution Of a
maynard huband and the double Or
phanagge Of an innocent babe. Under
guise Of point ng moral from this
terrible tragedy, quotations from thr
Bible are used as subjects for the
several stages of Beulah's life, and
prominent ministers (whose names
are not given) are reported to have
endorsed the sorry spectacle.
~ Hundreds of boys and girls of tend
'er age at this very moment are read
ing these desecrated quotations and
satisfying a morbid curiosity to see
the woman who "hath cast down
many wounded; yea, many strong
men hath she slain Whose "housr

hibition of such pictures Indicates
morality or that those who present
them to the public thank they do. Yet,
; Is there any protest from an outraged
public conscience against this attack
upon it? None that may be noticed.
The press is silent and the pulpit is
dumb. There is not any such fears
lest the young be corrupted as was
evident when Big Jim took the count.
Can it be that race prejudice and
not the fear of increasing immortality
was back of the protest against the
fight pictures? 1t certainly looks
like it.
