Continued from page i) door of the cabin, they demanded the gold that had been cleaned up, and which had not yet been weighed. McMullen hesitated, looked around, sized up the sit uation in few quick glances, and then turned over the pokeful of the yellow stuff.
 The men departed, satisfied in part, but sorry there was not more gold in the buckskin sack. When alone, they divided up the gold pro rata, each taking so much to apply on what he had coming for shovel work performed. One man who had Sl3D coming ,is stated to have received 28 cents on the dollar as his share, while the amounts gained by the others vary.
 MrMullrn, il is reported, does not apprnve of the actions of the men. Rumor has it that he claims thcr" was about S2,O0O worth of gold in the poke, but as he did not weigh il, there is no way to find out the exact amount.

 WHAT CONSTITUTES COST

Continued from page ii Inc pnslofricc is situated. There is also reserved tO the government a right of way for cable landing from the rear of puSlnll'icr in the bay, and all lois in that section are dr"drd subject in ihis case mrnI. The patent was issued June 1T, 1912.
 Applications ar" now heinz made to the trustee for deeds and as soon as it is practicable they will be issued for the unc0nteSted lots. After issuance of the un- contested deeds, contests will be taken up and settled, and later all unclaimed lois will b. sold at pub lie auction.
 The total cost to the occupants of the tOwnsite of securing leeds to their ground will be about Si0,- 900. Of this, S7,7O0 has already been incurred for survey, pur- chase of ground from the govern ment, salary of trustee, advertis- ing and other expenses. The bal ance is the amount estimated as necessary to complete the work If the amount collected is insuffi- cient to pay all bills another as- sessment can be levied, or if there is too much collected the surplus is refunded pro rata.
 Occupied lots in the town and reservation district have a total valuation of a little over S30O,000, according to the values fixed by the town assessment on the reser- vation. On this basis it takes an assessment of three per cent. tO raise the required sum.
 As the cost of future work in connection with the tOwnSitc de- pcnds partially upon the time re- quired to complete same, it will be to the advantage of the lot claimants to get their applications filed as soon as possible, so that the expense may be cut to the minimum.

HAMBURGER DEFENDS CITY
Would-Be Reformers Make It Sodom
According to the Sheriff.

At a meeting OF the members OF the lnde-

INnox Hall yesterday. Sheriff julius Har-
burger. ex-grand master Of the order, said
'It is outrageous and basphemous TO
hear our city derlded by would-be reform
ers as TO it's morality.
"Our people are among the best that can
be found anywhere. The social evil ques-
tiOn Will always be an important one until
regulated By law. but in our city. with It's
millions OF inhabitants, we are better and
nurer because We are governed In liberal
snirit. We are not hampered, moested or
persecuted, and because OF this we are free
men I'm all that the word implies
But a set of. marrow minded cilmped
idea men, always ready TO denounce the
fair name Of our city, let loose periodical
" make outsiders believe our city is
Sodon and Gomorrah. All tho world
shouId look at our city, wonderful, archi-
tecuraIly beautiful and otherwise.
1T would put in the shade all OF the
supposed wonders of ancient days, ana IL
the marvellous habitation Of Millions VINO
live in a city unequalled as TO It's mofality'
education. llberality and charitableness. TO
be New Yorker will be a proud distlnc-
ton recognized everywhere"

FOREIGNERS SCENT TROUBLE
Americans, British and Germans
Combine in MeXico City.
rBy Telegraph 70 The Tribune.l J


Mexico City, April 4.-Subjects Of Great
Britain and Germany living here have
joined the American defence colony for
mutual protection in case any uprising
against foreigners results from the chaotic
conditions now prevailing. The Americans
have had one thousand Krag-Jorgensen
rifles and plenty Of ammunition sent here
recently by the United States government.
A system of communication has been estab-
Ushed by the Americans, Germans and
English, and at the first sign that the
wives and children Of the foreigners colo
MES are in peril it has been arranged 10
concentrate at point near the American
Embassy.
Hundreds Of Americans and Europeans
are pouring into the capital from all parts
Of Southern Mexico. where rebellion and
hrigandage have displaced federal control.
Mexico city IS also honeycombed with sedi-
ton and revolt against the Madero govern
ment.
Only yesterday a former general IN the
Mexican army who retired shortly before
the overthrow Of Diaz offered to Join the
American defence corps and bring recruits
with him. His offer was declined no

AS for secret deposits of money. there are
none.
The report, too, that nearly thirty towns

canard. There are only nineteen towns IN
the county, and the greater portion of these

least three-Norwich, oxford and Greene
are larger than New Berlin. Only three
towns banked with the New Berlin insti-
tuition. They are New Berlin, Columbus
and Plttsacld, Otsego County, which lies
just east Of New Berlin. The supervisors
are bonded by a surety company, and these
towns are bound to get their money
The closing Of the bank IS responsible
for an increase in the police force of New
Berlin Inasmuch as the people now have
no place to deposit their money ana
valuablcs. il was thought wise to increase
the number Of officers, and this was done
last night.
