 In speaking to representative of the PrOspecto:, Mr. LindeburS expressed himself as greatly i'm pressed at the many prospects in the lower sound section, and especially the showing made on the Iatum property, in which he is part owner, but had never before made personal inspec- Lion, having invested in the prop erL upon the representation of senator Willard, who strongly recommended the claims and vouched for them as one of the best properties on the Sound.
 For the amount of deNclOp- mcnt work done on the property d most remarkable showing has been made,' said MT. Lindeburg, 'and l am convinced that the property will become one of the best producers in this section. Senator Millard's work on the property is most praiseworthy."

DOG OWNERSHIP
 IS IN DISPUTE
Approach of Winter Enhances Value of Animals Neglected
 During the Summer.

Dogs are dogs these days. They have been CUTS for tn" past seven months. bat the approach of winter with the prospect of numerous siamLeurS is causing them lu be looked upon as valu- able animals. The first miXup of the season over the ownership of a dog occurred this morning when Jacob MonscheI. better known by the ruphenous title of "Slup Jake.' threatened to go to the mat with Herman kaho for the possession of a big dog which he claims was stolen from him last July.
 Jake claims tu have bought the dog last April from man who had spent the winter in the in tcrior trapping and hunting. He paid the fellow $5 for the animal with thp understanding that he would sell it back to him this fall for S35 if he appeared to claim it. The man from whom Jake. puchased the dog went outside and has not as yet returned.
 When Jake recognized the dog rn the street this morning he immediately took possession. but was disputed by Kaho, wh" claims to have brought the ami maj from the interior. Ray Lar son happened along and settled the dispute by taking possession of the dog. The court may be called upon to establish the rightful ownership of the ani- maj. The owners of good ani- mals are holding them, expect ing to get fancy prices later in the season. They find ready sale at $50 each at present.

For King Manuel, Who Was Driven From the Country
 Two Years Ago.

Madrid, Spain, Oct. 22.--The Roalists of Portugal have start ed an uprising to overthrow the present republican form of gov ernment and fighting has start ed in all parts of the country. The wires are down in every direction and newspaper correspondents are unable to get the use of the
 few wireless stations to send out details of the fighting; only vag- uc reports leak through and they are mostly received by diplomat ic circles. Little can be learned as to who is having the best of he fighting. S
 The streets of Lisbon are run
 ming with blood, he fighting be- ing very severe. according to re- ports received here. Thousands of eXiled Portuguese, who were in the city up to a few days ago, have crossed the border and join- GU lHt army ol Alll@ MoiuSl, " II"

 The queen of Portugal is a distant relative of the IInllcnZol- lrrS, the reigning house of Ger many. She is a Catholic. The
 outcome of the fight in Portugal will be watched with great in- trrrst here. and il is believed King Alfonso will secretly aid his neighbor Co regain the throne, fearing the example of q repub- I lie so near to Spain.
 Thousands of troops have been moved tO the border, OSteE,ibl

New York Suffragettes Do Not Attend Her Lecture and Pro-

New York, Oct. 22.-The speech of Mrs. Emmerline Pankhurst at Madison Square Garden wa a frost. The golden dollars dream ed of by the militant leader dis appeared in the slim audience and she is greatly disappointed at the interest taken by American suf1ragettes in her lecture tour.
 The British gOvernment,' said Mrs. Pankhurst, ''is to blame for the violence of English militants, because of the failure of the gov ernment to grant the demands of the women for the right to vote. Had the right of suffrage been granted when asked for the de- struction of property by fire. the blowing up of railroad stations and attempts to dynamite parlia- ment would never have been re- sorted to, nor would the plate glass fronts of the merchants have been smashed with the hammers concealed in stock ings."
 But little enthusiasm was shown the remarks of the aged leader and it is possible that she will not remain the three weeks allowed her by the Department of Immigration.
