Battle Of N. D. Regiment
Spectacular Mimic Warfare at
Rock Island Encampment

Devils Lake, ~. d. July 15.-When
Chief Little Fish and his reservation
were aroused from their sleep yester-
day. vivid picture probably flashed
through the minds of the old warriors.
The tread of the militia, the clink of
the sabres and rattle of the hospital
ambulance combined to inform the In
dians that the soldiers had arrived.
Then it was not long until the crack
Of the rifles signif1ed that the battle
was on.
For Colonel frame ordered the First
regiment, encamped at Rock Island,
out on, bivouac and no sooner had the
morning mess been disposed of than
the there batallions, equipped for. serv-
ice with the pup tents and rations
for a day, crossed the lake at the mar
rows for the experience Of field work
with mimic warfare.
The problem which had been arrang-
ed by the commander of the regiment
was a mystery to the men. While the
stage was set for an ngagementswhere
it was to occur no one but the highest
regimental officers knew.
Last evening. hundreds of people
afoot and in cars journeyed to the
camp to witness. dress parade. The
field was lined with spectators.
The only ripple in an otherwise very
QuleT SUNDAY was uLClo SmuQSe
in: the tent of Colonel Frame. The
tent stove pipe ignited the canvas
and the flames Were makiHgs prog
Eress when discovered. =, '.'e''e
There was no drill work on the
grounds yesterday morning, company
inspection by the commanders con-
stituting the only work Of the fore
noon. 1
With field work planned for every
other day this week. there is every
indication that. the regiment will be
we'll tried by the end of this encamp-
ment.
The grass was wet enough yesterday
morning to make tramping a little
unpleasant, but it was decided not
to allow the weather to interfere with
the plans formulated.

Albany, July 15.--Charles J. Chase,
railroad engineer of the New York
Central, who has been earning $1.800 a
year recently. was not startled when he
learned that Gov William Sulzer had
appointed him member of the, public
service commission for the second dis
trict at salary of $4,000 year. Chase
is modest man, whose life as an en-
gine driver has made him intense, and
he shows it in every movement.
For years, he was an humble en-
ploye of the New York Central. AS
public service commissioner he will
be one of the five men who have
great control over the railroads,
which have property within the
jurisdiction of the commission
worth perhaps $100,000000 or more.
Railroad presidents and other Of
ficials who would not have Civ
en- him a passing nod must now cater
to him to win his good will. A week
ago the mechanical superintendent of
his division-the Hudson river division
of the Central-was big man to him.
Today the president of the road will
seek his acquaintance.

More Boring River Coal Claimants Refused Patent Because of
 Alleged Irregularities.

The Juneau land office has ad- iversed another bunch of coal claims in the Boring River fields
 The group contains fourteen claims in what is known as the
 HaItline group of coal claims. Eight lOcatOrs are residents of Anna, Illinois, and all of them except Oscar Casper, are sons and daughters of Benjamin Hart line; Casper being a son-in-law of Benjamin F. ~Hartilne. The l fourteen claims involved are south of the Martin river fila cier and bounded Aon the south by the Hunt Hartman Dr Lippy- Davis group of claims adn on the west by the Chezum group and on the east by the Green-Youne group.
 In September. 1910. the Hart line Alaska Coal company, aS signee of the locator under var ious. dates, filed application and proofs in support thereof under the act of May 28, 1908, for the group of fourteen claims contain- ing an area of 2.289.S5i acres. The government filed charges consisting of three counts: the first two charging fraud in mak- ing the locations. and the latter charging that the defendrnt did not open up OF develop coal minH within the meaning of the law.
 The opinion just rendrr"d by the Juneau land office goes deep ly into the matter of dispositions as evidence and says that in case there is not preponderance or evidence to support charges one and two and it is recommended that these charges be dismissed.
 Continuing the opinion takes up charge three and gives an ex- hauStive resume of the develop ment work that appears to have been done amd in the end Sus- tainS the government charge that a coal mine had not been devet- Oped and opened up.
 Testimony develops that the claims in question have been twice bonded once fer S3O.0a0 wherein I,5NO was paid on the transaction but no more. and for $15. .AO0 wherein $500 was paid but no more.
