Minot, Jan. 17.---Three men were on
hand at the United States land Of
fee Saturday morning to file on. the
John F. Skinner quarter section Of
land located four miles east of FLAX
tom, the original entry Of Mr. Skinner
having been cancelled by the govern
ment because Of his refusal to relin-
quish the coal rights to the govern
ment. 5gZf @s!5y *'tts@ ~: s5s6sS: Y s:
3 Wm.. O'Donnell and Richard King,
both of Bowbells, arrived in the city
early Saturday and reaching the land
office about the same time waited for
an hour or. two unit 1.-The office should
be opened. AS the window was opsn-
ed both men pushed their filing pa
pers in at the same time and the reg
lister was obliged to. turn his back
and draw one Of the applications, re
jecting the other, Richard King being
the successful applicant. It is under
stood that O'Donnell will make an ef-
fort to have his papers accepted, new
ertheless, and has retained an attor-
ney to look after his interests.
/ The Skinner place is considered
quite valuable, there being extern
sive improvements on the place, and
the land itself is very choice. 1t is
reported that Skinner was killed in
Minnesota a short time ago, and it
is barely possible that the heirs will
make an effort to have his entry re
instated by relinquishing the coal
rights. In any event an interesting
fight is promised. f,si$ .s.

H. Singer is credited with the great

this musical Offering, which was im-
ported from Berlin and presented last
April in Chicago, and sprang into i'm

tanned capacity business speaks vol
