New Land con.rae. Made.

Ignacio.-The state land board has
drawn up n new contract with the
Ignacio Land Company. which OBJ
tanned 10000 acres of Carey act land
from the board in 1905. and which has
been the subject of much dispute on
eccount of its water rights since that
time. Similar contracts will be based
upon the conditions contained in the
newly drawn one.
The company was compelled to re-
turn money paid in by prospective en-
trymen when it was found that the
proposition had not been advanced far
enough to irrigate the lands. The new
agreement provides that water for the
lands must be accessible before lands
can be sold as irrigated lands.

Buffalo, n. Y.-Between fifteen and
twenty persons were drowned and a
number injured Sunday night, when
n fifty-foot dock at Eagle Park, Grand
Island. Niagara River. collapsed under
the weight of $50 persons, precipitat-
ing them into twelve feet of water.
Up to midnight eight bodies had
been recovered, of whom six were
identified.
The excursionists were preparing to
return to Buffalo after an outing at
the park, and between $50 and 400
persons were on the dock to take the
steamer, when the underpinning gave
way.
The outing was under the auspices
of the Court Amherst Lodge. |. o. o.
f. of Black Rock. and was for the
benefit of sick brothers.
The party left Buffalo in the morn
ing on the steamer Henry Koerber
and the barge Lottie Koerber in tow.
The first news of the accident reached
this city when Mrs. Miller. wife ot
the proprietor of hotel at Eagle
Park. telephoned. The telephone sys-
TEN failed shortly after. and the place,
which is on the Canadian branch of
the river, has been out of communica-
tion since.
Fix Brothers. owners of the excur-
sion steamship line to which the boats
belong. said that at least 2G0 persons
were thrown into the water and that
eight bodies had been recovered. The
boats had carried one load back TO
Buffalo and were at the dock taking
on the remainder when the accident
occurred
The dock was V-shaped with the
landing place at the apex. 1t is at the
foot of high embankment and ITS
approach is by long flight of stairs.
The current at this point. which is
twelve miles above Niagara Falls, is
eight miles an hour.
The steamer Henry Koerber had
just warped into the dock to take on
the load of returning excursionists.
The dock was crowded The gang
planks were thrown out and the Sec
tion of the crowd nearest the steamer
began to move forward. Captain Fix,
on board, called to them to move
slowly.
The words were no more than
spoken when the center of the dock
sank with a crash.
The planking held fast to the tim
bers on both sides of the dock. form
ing pocket, into which the struggling
mass of people was thrown.
