Indian Claims Denied

Chicago, March 1S.-Holding that
the title of Indians to the submerged
lands of Lake Michigan had never
been recognized, and further, that
what rights they had, were r%elinquish.
ed when the Indians voluntarily left
the land, Federal Judge Carpenter to-
day ruled adversely to Indian claims
on filled-in land along the lake front
in Chicago.
In n suit, three Indian tribes, the
Ottawas, Chippewas and Pottawato'
mics, sought to recover land along the
lake front now occupied by railroad
companies and the South Park board
In the suit the Indians sought to re
strain the South Park board from
proceeding with improvements along
the lake front, where much land is
being reclaimed.
Treaties made by the government
with the Indians cannot be otherwise
construed than that the Indians can
not claim the land which they had
abandoned 80 years ago." said Judge
Carpenter. "My investigation salts
fies me that it was not intended that
the Indians should have title to sub
merged land"
Consul for the Indians said that an
appeal would be taken.

agree on the temporary exclusion Of
any part of Ireland, and declared that
it was a great sacrifice to make, as the
price of peace, but in making that sac
riice to avoid a conflict, they haG
made no sacrifice of principle.
If the proposal had been for the
permanent exclusion of one inch Of
Irish territory, they would unhesitat

Cold Weather in the South

Milestone, March 19.-The secretary
of the interior has designated and
one-half million acres of land in Mus.
selshell and Fergus counties subject
to entry under the enlarged homestead
act.
The greater portion Of this land is
adjacent to the growing town of Mel.
stone, and it is chiefly due to the
efforts of the citizens of this place
that this land has been placed under
the 800 acre law.
Last fall the Milestone chamber OF
Commerce circulated petitions which,
were signed by hundreds of settlers,
asking that they be given the priv.
lege of taking enlarged homesteads.
This petition was followed by personal
letters to Representative Stout and
with his personal support the geolog.
ical department was induced to act
in the matter.
There are at the present time up
wards of 200 good agricultural claims
within the limits of this designation
which will be rapidly taken up.
Milestone is situated nearly in the
center of this land, and is the logical
point on the railroad from which il
can be reached.
These lands become subject to entry

BIG BATTLE IN PROGRESS
Heavy Fighting Near Torreon Win
Rebels Hard Pressed

Juarez, March 17.-Heavy fighting
with the rebels hard pressed, was re.
ported here tonight. A force of fed.
erals Is said to have met Villas army
at Escalon, an important railroad
town, 100 miles north of Torreon. and
! both sides having been reinforced. the
battle is said to have ragged fiercelv
all day long.
The railroad from Torreon run
north through Escalon, to Jiminez,
chihuahua, and beyond. On each side
of the road are mountains. These for
10 miles are marked with rife pits
dug in previous revolutions. It is re.
ported that the federals, whose nun,
tiers are not known, moved out of
Torreon in two detachments pursy-
ant to orders from President Huerta.
One detachment is said to have
moved over the plains west of the
railroad with the mountains between
it and the road, while the main body
went directly by rail to Escalon. The
eastern detachment evidently was try
ing to get in Villas rear, as it was
moving in the direction of Jiminez,
which is SIS miles north of Escalon.
General Urbina of the constitution
alists, however, had been posted at
Rosario to guard against just such a
strategy, and last Saturday is said to
have encountered the advance guard
of the federals at or near that city.
which is about 10 miles west of
Jiminez.
He is said to have been outnum-
bered and to have telegraphed in an
alarm for more men and artillery.
The battle at Escalon, apparently
nicely timed by General Velasco. the
federal commander, to occur after re-
Inducements had been detached to
assist Urbina, is believed to have be-
gun last night or early today. No
details are available. The bare facts
of an important engagement were con-
tanned in a telegram Of only Is words.
The Zaratjoza brigade of 1900 vet
Grams under General Benavides en-
countered the federals at Escalon, and
is reported to have been pressed back
yesterday. This is believed to &C.
count for the sudden departure from
Chihuahua last night Of General Viii
la. He gave his staff one hours no
tice and then departed on a special
train.
1t is assumed that Villa brought up
reinforcements today and that the
battle was renewed with increased
vigor.

FINE FOR NOT VOTING

One of the measures which is often
advocated and is sometimes introduced
u legislative assemblies is to make
voting compulsory. A bill has just
been introduced in the New York as.
sembly imposing a fine of from $40 to
$50 on any qualified voter who fails
to register or to vote without suffi.
Gent excuse. 1t is proposed that the
measure shall take effect next Septem.
Der and the only xcu permitted
will be serious illness and necessary
absence on the registration days or
O election days.
The passage of a measure of this
kind will of course not be seriously
considered. 1t would be regarded as
a tyrannical measure, for each citizen
claims as n of the ~inalienable rights
guaranteed by the fo~refathers the
privilege of voting or not as he may
please and voting for whom he may
please if he chooses to vote at all.
These persons would consider it a
great tyranny if they were not grant.
ed the right to vote, but they do not
seem to appreciate the right, now that
they have it. Year after year they
neglect to vote. without any good rea-
son for such action, and take little
interest in the candidates or the cleo
ton unless some candidate is NOM
mated in whose victory or defeat they
feel a personal interest or unless some
measure is up for consideration in
which they have a personal interest.
Instead of fining those who will not
vote when they have the privilege, u
better punishment would be to deprive
a citizen of the franchise after he has
neglected to avail himself of the priv
ilege of voting for several successive
elections. Then they would all want
to vote.-Anaconda Standard.

Wool Prices Going Up

According to newspaper reports
heretofore sent out of wool clip pur.
chases in this section the highest
price paid up to yesterday was II
cents, says the Great Falls Leader
Yesterday, however, Joe Streng, spec
ial representative of Eisemann Bros,
of Boston, contracted the purchase OF
the j.. H. Carmichael clip at Augusta
at IS cents per pound, and also paid
IS cents for Jacob Fey clip at Gilman.
Other purchases are said to be pend
ing and the price will probably be in
the same neighborhood.
"The Carmichael clip will run about
$4,000 pounds said Mr.. Streng upon
his return from Augusta last night.
"Mr. Carmichael usually has excellent
wool and | have been negotiating with
him some time. The Fey clip will not
run less than 100000 pounds, and is
of rare quality usually"
Speaking with reference to his pur-
chase ON this side of the i%nternation-
al boundary, Mr.. Streng said today he
had bought considerably more than
5000, 900 pounds of wool, and also
stated that he expected to gather in a
lot more before he finished. 1t is prob
able that the buyer will make another
incursion of Canadian territory to
clean up some lots that he did not con-
for on his last trip. Asked for
opinion relating to the prospects
Of the wool market Mr.. Streng said he
had no information and was merely
as he could without regard for
the future of the market. ut might
go up, or it might go down; you never
can tell" was the non-committal reply
Of the buyer.
