ern capitalists, who will build at
some convenient point. near st.
Maries, and will engage in the
manufacture of lumber. It ia
said that the timber to be cut
will keep a mill of large capacity

A woman down at Buhl, on the
Twin Falls tract, locked her

one night last week while she
went to revival meeting. The
children either started a fire by
playing with matches or the stove
became overheated and set the
building on fire. Two children
aged 5 and 6 died in the flames

SCHULTZ GETS
INDIAN LAND
Lewiston Land Office Favors
Him in Struggle for 8O-Acre
Tract Near Greencreek---
Others Will Appeal.

The local land office yesterday
handed down decision in the
case of Joseph A. Schultz VS.
Barney Westhoff and William l.
Long involving the right of home.
stead entry to the valuable can
celled Indian allotment of Cath.
crime Stevens, located near Ferd.
inand in Idaho county. The de-
cision is in favor of Schultz.
1t may be recalled that these
three parties made practically
simultaneous offerings to file on
this land on June 16, 1910.
Schultz application was accepted,
it appearing by his affidavit that
he had, at a few minutes past
midnight on the morning of June
16, been upon the land, posted
notice of claim and performed
other acts of settlement. A hear
ing was ordered to determine the
right of all parties. From the
evidence adduced at this hearing,
it appears that Westhof and
Long had for a considerable time
prior to June 16 been living on
the land in question, each claim
ing the right from the Indian.
Both were considered strangers,
however, by the register and re-
celver, who hold the land was
not open to settlement or entry
until sixty days after the cancel
lation of the allotment on the
records of the local office. Both
Westhoff and Long insist their
rights as homesteaders took eff
feet Immediately at the instant
of cancellation and Long also in
sisted the date of cancellation,
from which the sixty days ran,
according to law, during which
no act of settlement or entry
could lawfully be made, was on
the 24th day of February, 1910,
on which date the secretary or
dered the cancellation. This, the
register and receiver consider
the crucial point in the case, for
since Long also offered his home
stead filing on April 28th should
the construction he urges be
right, the local office erred in re-
