INDIANS WIN IN.
EkTIAT LAWSUIT.

WENATCHEE, Nov. 9.-Judge
J. T. Ronald of Seattle, in .deci-
sion which has just reached the
county clerk, decided the Entiat
townsite case in favor of the In
dian claimants. The Seattle jur-
list tried the case here several
weeks ago for Judge Grimshaw,
who was disqualified. The deci-
sion affects property valued at
approximately $4,000 and has
a sweeping effect on hundreds of
acres of Indian titles in this vicin-
ity. The case will probably go
to the supreme court of the Unit
ed States.
The case was commenced last
December by the Entiat Townsite
company to quiet certain defects
in the probate proceedings of
Silico Saska, the old Indian, the
original patentee. Lucy Snyder.
formerly Lucy Freer, appeared
claiming the townsite company
had no right to the land as her
grandfather, Silico Saska, had re-
ceived a twenty-five year trust
patent from the government
which provided that the title
should remain in the government
for twenty-five years from the
date of the patent, October 81,
1896.

Two Injured
When Auto
Turns Over

An automobile accident which
narrowly escaped being a tragedy,
occurred last Sunday OH the Kula
road, on the steep grade near the
Kula schoolhouse. The car, which
belongs to the Maui Dry Goods e.
Grocery Company, was being driven
by Louis Lake, and was occupied
besides by Amos Mozetta, Manuel
Martins, Jr., and Antoine Riney, all
of Wailuku. In coming down the
Hill, the machine failed to make the
sharp turn near the bottom, and
overturned.
Lake and Mozetta escaped with
minor bruises, but young Martins
and Riney received severe scalp
wounds and other injuries which
necessitated their being sent to the
hospital. Fortunately, neither of
them was dangerously hurt. The
automobile lost two wheels in the
smash, and suffered other damage.
