ROCKEFELLER GETS
COVETED GROUNDS

Malone, N. Y, March 30-Word has
been received here that the celebrated
Rockefeller-Lamora feud has been end
ed by the action of William Lamora In
selling the cabin and grounds owned
by his father, hunter and trapper, who
refused to sell his property to make
up portion of William Rockefeller's
vast Adirodacks game preserve.
1t was in 1892 that William Rookie
feller set out to acquire the game pre-
serve. He bought $4,000 acres around
the town of Brandon, but could not Sc.
cure Oliver Lamoras cabin and clear
ing which stood in the way. Out OF
this arose legal battle between the
oil magnate and the old trapper
1t was expensive work for Lamora
but the old trapper's friends and neigh,
bors sympathized with him and came
to his aid financially.
For the remainder of the old mans
life the Rockefeller agents recognized
as useless any attempt to get him to
sell. After he died his son, to whom
the property fell, assumed the same
attitude as the father for time but
he finally has been induced to sell.

Col. Seely told the house there
was no difference between him.
self and his colleagues in the
cabinet on any point Of policy
Or principle. He said he had
pressed his resignation because
there appeared (although such
was not his intention) to have
been a bargain with the army
officers regarding the service
they should render to the crown.
Neither had Sir John French
nor Sir John EWart the inten-
ton Of making such bargain.
In has speech, Col. Seely
said:
Grave issues have been
raised, which may mean that
the whole army system may
have to be recast."
Ministerial cheers greeted the
remark, which was interpreted
as suggesting the democratiza-
ton of the army.
