Lyon Was Asked to Join in Land Deal. Sulphur, Okla., Aug. 15—What part Cecil A. Lyon, national committeeman of Texas, took in the activity at Washington for the approval of the old tribal McMurray contracts for the sale of Indian lands was described by Mr. Lyon in the hearing before the congressional investigating commit- tee. These contracts were disapproved by President Roosevelt in 1908. The new contracts, which are the cause of the present investigation, Mr, Lyon said he has mno interest in. Asked if he was requested to join In the old contracts because of his political influence and acquaintance with President Roosevelt Mr. Lyon said: “It is entirely possible.” Mr. Lyon then told of his going to ‘Washington and of his failure to have the contracts approved.

Tke law in force at that time is substantially the same as our pres- ent law, and provides that when a county is divided, the county buildings shall be appraised by a commission to be appointed by the governor; the amount of the appraismgnt to be subtracted from the total amount of bonded and floating indebtedness of the par- ent county, and the remsinder of the indebtness paid by the old and new counties proportionately, ac- cording to the assessed valuation of each; the newly created county being required to levya tax to meet its share of the indebtedness, The commissioners were duly appointed by the governor and the county buildings apparaised at $70,- 756. As appears from the writ of mandamus, the total bonded and floating indebtedness of Beltrami county at the time of the division amounted, approximately, to $175,- 000. Subtracting from this amount the value of the county buildings and the amount of the sinking fund on hand and there rewained a debt of approximately, $93,000 to be paid by the two counties, and according tothe last assessed valuation of the coun- ties preceeding the division. Clear- water county was required under the law to pay, approximately, $24,- 000 of this $93,000, and to levy a tax for that purpose. The commissioners of Clearwater county, however, neglected to levy the tax required by law. Mr. Loud was county attorney at the time and remained in office until 1905; Mr. McDonald fol- lowed Mr. Loud and remained in office until January, 1907. Mr. Funkley followed Mr. McDonald, and in” October, 1903—nearly six years after the county had been divided—Mr. Funkley brought an action against Clearwater county asking for money judgment in the sum of $23,958. Clearwater county filled a demurrer to this complaint and no further action was taken in the premises until Mr. McKusick assumed the duties of the county at- torney’s office. Mr. McKusick at once took up the case and insisted upon an argument of the demurrer which had been' interposed to Mr. Funkley’s complaint. Clearwater county then engaged the services of the firm of Spooner & Brown of this city to assist Mr. Stenvick, the attorney of Clear- water county. The demurrer was argued and sustained, Judge Stanton holding that the action brought by Mr. Funkley would not lie, and that the only remedy available to Beltrami county was by mandamus to compel the levying of the tax. An appeal was taken from Judge Stanton’s decision to the supreme court, and in January, 1910, the supreme court handed down the decision of affirmance. This decision of the supreme court did not touch upon the merits of the case; it simply defined the practice and pointed out the course to pursue. Beltrami county then applied for the court for a peremptory writ of mandamus. Clearwater county again objected and insisted that an alternative writ of mandamus should be first issued. In this contention Clear- water county was again sustained and an alternative writ was applied for. This last named writ was attacked upon various grounds but the decision of Judge Stanton, re- cently made, holds that the alterna- tive writ issufficient in every respect and Clearwater county is now re- quired to answer and try the case upon its merits. Clearwater county may, within the next thirty days, take an appeal to the supreme court from Judge Stan- ton’s decision, - It has an option to do thisor to file an answer to the alternative writ and then the case must be submitted and determined upon its merits, YOUTH DRAGGED TO DEATH Foot Catches in Bridle Rein When Thrown From Horse. Mitchell, S. D, Aug. 15.—Dewey Fletcher, the eleven-year-old son of Fred Fletcher of Reliance, was almost instantly killed by being dragged by a horse over a field. The boy and his sister.rode a horse into the pasture to catch another animal. When the horse they were riding shied at some- thing both the boy and the girl were thrown off, but the boy’s foot caught in the bridle rein in some way. The horse, with the boy dragging at his heels, bolted. The boy’s head bumped the hard, dry ground rspentedly and the slmll was crushad. CHANGES ALL IN GAYNOR'S FAVOR Making Rapid Progress To- ward Recovery. DANGER PERIOD PASSED Attending Physician, an Expert on Gunshot Wounds, Says the Mayor Has About a 95 Per Cent Chance of Getting Well Now—Irritation of Throat Is Causing Considerable Coughing. New York, Aug. 15.—Mayor Gaynor awoke from the most refreshing and long continued night's sleep that he has had since he was shot in the neck by James J. Gallagher last Tues- day, with every indication that he was making steady progress toward recovery. This was the word brought from tie mayor’s bedside by his sec- retary, Robert Adamson, who report- ed the patient cheerful -and talkative and displaying an increased appetite. The following bulletin as to Mayor Gaynor’s condition was given out: “Mayor Gaynor passed a good night. He is cheerful and his condition is very satisfactory.” There appears to be only one minor feature of the mayor's case which does not completely fit in with the general scheme of optimistic conclu- sions. According to Robert Adamson, the mayor’s secretary, the patient is considerably bothered by coughing. His Physicians Not Alarmed. This irritation of the throat caused the physicians to renew the spraying with tincture of benzoin, which had been given up in the hours immedi: ately following the shooting. The doctors do not appear to be alarmed over this, however. One of them explained the unusual coughing as due probably to a slight paralysis of the muscles in the region of the bullet wound, but he said it was noth- ing to cause anxiety. “Practically all danger has passed now,” was the declaration of Dr. Ed- ward W. Lee, who is an expert on gunshot wounds and was one of the surgeons summoned to Buffalo when President McKinley was shot. “Bv- ery hour the mayor lives and his tem- perature keeps down increases his chances of recovery. He has about a 95 per cent chance of getting well now.” For the first time since the mayor was taken to the hospital the mem- bers of his family went to bed at their regular hour. They were told that the mayor was in no danger. TO GUARD AGAINST CHOLERA Rigorous Measures Taken by Ameri- can Representatives Abroad. Washington, Aug. 15.—Rigorous measures have been taken by United States representatives abroad to pre- vent the introduction into this coun- try of cholera through the United States ports. At the instance of the public health service at Washington, the United States consular officers at Hamburg, Bremen, Antwerp and Rotterdam and other Continental and British ports are working under cabled instructions,. which require them to detain steerage passengers from cholera infected dis- tricts in Russia and to disinfect bag- gage prior to embarkation for the United States. The instructions were given on account of the recent reports of many cases in Russia and the pros- pect of the spread of cholera in Eu- rope. ACID THROWERS ARRESTED Strike of Chauffeurs Probably Respon- sible for Outrages. Chicago, Aug. 15.—After question- ing Louis Lobelt and John McKenna, Assistant Chief of Police Schuettler expressed confidence that they are the men who threw a bottle contain- ing benzine and phosphorus into the automobile of a party of Knights Tem- plar Thursday night in Congress street. Mrs. J. F. Boecke, wife of the em- inent commander of Darius comman- dery No. 7 of Minneapolis, was one of the victims of the attack. The other was J. C. Lewls, a Minneapolis Knight Templar. The fluid destroyed the clothing of Mrs. Boecke and Lewls and they were burned about the hands. Chief Schuettler believes the out- rages are being committed with the approval of the striking Chauffeurs’ union. Witnesses in Packing Probe.
