In attempting to cross the ice from
Davenport to the Illinois shore, two
young men, whose names could not be
learned, narrowly escaped death this

party of three had walked on the ice
within a hundred feet of the Illinois
shore, when one of their number fell
through. His companion, in attempt
ing TO save him, was also immersed.
The third man was able 10 bring his
partners to safety, and the three men
then retraced their steps towards the
Iowa side.

Charleston, w. Va, Feb. 17.-Since
martial law was declared IN the strike
zone in the Kanawha coal regions ear
ly last week nearly 200 men have been
arrested either for rioting or melting
riot. These men are being tried be-
fore the military court.
Wholesale arrests, however, have
not put an end to the riot. Only the
presence Of the militia prevents whole
sale destruction of life and property.
The miners who have been on strike
since early last fall have grown des-
perate. While their families are suf-
fering from hunger and cold, strike
breakers have taken the places which
they once filed in the mines.

To Deposit Oil ROYALTY.

The school land board has formally
adopted resolution giving the COVER
nor, who is ex-officio chairman of the
board, authority to make an agree
ment with the United States govern
ment representing the Greek Indians,
to select some depository for the roy.
atty which is received from oil or gas
wells drilling the beds of the Arkansas
and Cimarron rivers. The action OF
the board comes following a contro-
versy as to whether or not the state
owns the river beds, or the Creek In.
dams.
In the same question is involved
the large number of new leases recent.
1y given to various oil men and those
claiming the rights of the river beds
for sand and gravel purposes. This
action is taken in the effort to not
hinder the development Of the oil and
gas leases which have been given.
The state now claims that the river
bed of the Arkansas for its entire dis.
lance in the state of Oklahoma is navi.
gable and that the bed of the Gin
arron river is navigable from its

motion requiring the protestants to
specify in the allegations of fraud
what the violations consisted of, the
particular pamphlets in which they

names were forged, to point out those
they refer to. The general allegation
that fraud was committed was not
sufficient, they contended, to meet
the requirements in making protest
