ident Wilson that under the Lane
ruling the government would lose
millions OF dollars, as tho govern
ment had practically completed
plans plans for leasing Its oil land
in naval reserves on a Is per cent
royalty basis. The president there
upon asked Lane not to file his
opinion. Later Secretary Lane re-
signed and John Barton Payne sue
ceedcd him. A few days after Mr..
Payne took office he made . new
decision, giving the government sole
title to the property. The Honolulu
company accepted the ruling and
prepared to accept the governments
offer to lease the land on tho roy
atty basis. The leases were pre-
pared, but never actually signed.
Then came the unexpected deci-
sion In the Wyoming case. Secre-
tary Payne had held that the state
had no vested right to the land un-
der the school indemnity act be-
cause II was oil producing land. but
the supreme court. In the wyoming
matter. held that II the state had
made Its selections before the land
was so classified. the state held the
vested right and the governuent
had no power to eject Il.
When this ruling was announcedj
the Buena Vista company asked for
a rehearing. Secretary OF the In
terror Albert u. Fall ordered the
ease heard anew. and August 10
was set for the reheaYing.
An interesting sidelight was
suit filed by tho Honolulu company |
In Washington against Woodrow
Wilson rs president. in which the
court was asked to hold that the
president had exceeded his author
ity when he "interfered" with Sec |
retary Lane by not allowing him to
lille his decision.

INTERVIEWING Senator Cameron
in an effort to secure from him
the story of some of his deeds while
sheriff proved to be just as sue
cessful as was Henry Ford's trip to
Europe on the Oscar ii. and the only
way it was possible to secure the
story was to interview friends who
knew him in theearlier days in Ari
zona. Three of the most interesting of
his exploits concerned his capture of
a train robber. murderer and general
all around bad man, while the others
relate to the capture of Mexican
wanted for murder and his forcing
back to the reservation the Navajo
Indians who had refused to obey the
mandates of the Indian government
authorities.
The story of the train robber and
his associates is an interesting one,
involving as it did. the hold-up OF
train and the robbing of the postal
car, The rendezvous of the bandits
was located in an arroyo in Conconino
county. There the band kept the
stolen horses and it was from inns
point that they rode over into 1amdpl
county and boarded train. the ac-
tual robbery occurred near the border
line Of Yamapi and Mohave counties
After the train had been stopped the
bandit chief went to the engineer and
forced him to drive up the track for
a couple of miles in order that the rest
Of the gang might work in quiet. The
leaders lieutenant was killed by the
messenger of the express car. After
what the leader had considered a rea-
sonable time had elapsed he forced
the engineer to back the engine down
to the train and couple it on, only to
find himself alone.
The other members OF the gang
had got cold feet and dccamped.
The lieutcnants body. in the mean
time. had been hidden and the leader
concluded that the man upon whom
he had placed the most reliance had
also fed. But he WAS not to be de-
nied some of the spoils. so he ripped
open the mail sacks containing the
registered packages and. mounting

Dumfries and Piscataway-ancjent
towns in tidewater Virginia and
Maryland-by the early citizens Of
those places. 1t was no doubt played
in the stable yard or the BARNARD
of southern and eastern homes more
than century before Americans be-
gan to think of a Declaration of In
dependence. White men in buckskin
clothes and coonskin caps. and In
dians, nearly naked, looked on as the
players tossed the horseshoes and did or
did not ring the "hob."
Quoits came to the American col.
onies with the first of the hardy
pioneers from the rural regions of
England. and especially those who
came from the borderland of Eng
land and Scotland. Before the days
Of gunpowder quoits was so popular
in England that the subjects of
kings began to neglect the practice
Of archery. and King Edward III and
King Richard II prohibited the play-
ing OF quoits SO that men and Youths
should put in more time on archery
A sour-tongued and bitter-penned

book in 1547, and. among things
set down in his musty pages is that
'Quoitus be too vile for schola rs -
He probably meant that it was a
