They Have Entirely Abandoned Hope of Successful Resistance. YEARS OF TOIL GO FOR NAUGHT The Acenmulations of Patient Indus- try and Honeat Thrift Scattered Along the Highway—Humor of the BEvictio Turned Out of Doors, Fort Dover. In., Nov. 20.—“Here's an casy job, boys,” said of the United States marshal's posse as tho offcers drove up in front of William Hoolk's at Hook's Point, in Hamilton county. He meaut that the eviction would be soon over, for the house was close to the public road, and the woods and chattels would have to be ecarried lss than thirty fect. A rap brought a black-eyed woman to the door. She was flustered, and no wonder, for she knew what the sudden call meant, Bo- sides there was a littlo seven-year-old chap to quict. “Ma! here come the guns, and they're going was erying. The woman said thero wasn't one of tho men folks about. She was the daughter of William Hook, and the wife of H. M. Lucas. Her father had gone down to Stratford, her husband had gone in another direction, and her brother was out after a load of shedding. 4T tell you how it is,” she said; “wo are getting ready to move. 1f you will give us two or thre ys we'll get out ourselves and not give you any trouble.” The marshal said it was impossibla, The papers called for immediate action, “Well, go and see fathor first,” she urged. “He has been to town twice to sce Mr. Snell, but didn’t find him. He weans to have an understanding with him.” The marshal replied that he would send after Mr. Hook, but meantime the eviction He took out the long warrant This was the sig- their " he officers with to shoot us wmust go on. and commenced to read. nal for work. Might as well make a break first as las said one of the posse, and he picked up the big rocking chair, carried it out and set it down in the road.’ At the same time another of the posse led out @ span of colts and tied them to the hedge. The improvements on the Hook farm consisted of a one-story house, a collection of big log stables, corn cribs, sheds and pens. Half’ of the posse went'to work in the house and the other offi- cers ravaged the barns and sheds. The job didn’t prove to be so easy as it looked. Hook bad come to the place in 1554, and he had collected about him the usual assortment, of implements, A big harvester had to be rolled out into the road along with the other things. The house didn't look large, but three stout men worked two hours clear- ing it. There were pictures to be taken down.” A fine parlor stove, so hot it had to be hundied fvith gloves, was set down in the roud with the smoke pouring out of it. A large cabinet organ followed the stov There was a number of books. The old ge tleman came down the road just in time to see the well worn® family bible brought out and laid on a table. He entered not a word objection to the proceedings, of which he ad had no notice till &ie came in sight of the dismantled home and- the heaps of personal property scattered over the highway. There was a spirit of christian resignation in all he said. I'ought to have gone to see Mr. Snell,” he arcued to himself rather than to the ofticers, and I intended to do so. 1 did go up to the fort twice, but he was gone when I got there.” Emery Hool, the old man’s son, a fine- looking young man, drove up with a 'load of shedding, while the father was reproaching himsclf. “Yos, pop,” he added, “that's what you oughter have done, and ‘then we wouldn't have had this trouble, It serves us right.” The old man turned away from the Job's comforter in his own family and said to the writer “You see, I lost my wife some time ago, and things have been going wrong with me since. It breaks & man up to have Lis wife taken away, He don't think of things as he would, I dor’t want to have auy trouble. I intended to buy this land of Mr. Snell You sec the mun from whom I bought it, Mr, Hurst, got it from the state when it was' con- sidered sehool land. 1 paid Hurst $300 for the eighty away back iu 1854, and that was a good price for it then,” Mr. Hook didn’t add what the record showed, that when the state found that the land really belonged to the river company, and that a school land title couldn’t be given to it, he was reimbursed for his improve- ments to the amount of §500. It was ovi- dent that he had no legal claimson the place, and that he acknowledged to himself the legality of the eviction. The son evidently felt the same way, for when a neighbor drove up and asked the young man: “*‘Where are you going (" Hereplied, bitterly: “Out in the road,where we belong. 'Pop knew this would come some time, but he justlet things drift.” “Where'll we goto-night ¢ usked the black- eyed woman of her father, I don’t know,I'm sur shaking his head helple We'll do the best we can. 'We can’t dono better,” said her brother, who, secing that his father was overwhelined with the situa- tion, began to take the direction of things in his own hands. While the family gathered in a little group to discuss the most pressing question of the hour—where to find shelter for the night— there oceurred a funny scene, which made even the evicted people laugh. Two of the ofticers started for the road witha long table, on which were a half dozen pans of milk, Oune oficer went ahead, holding his end of the table with his hunds benind him. The other followed, and being a fellow of infinitc jest, he gradually eleyatea his end of he tuble and let thespilling milk flow down the other's back. The man ahead was thickly clad, and pot until he set down his end in the road did he perceive that he had lll‘ll'll deluged with a gallon and a half of the milk, For a black-eyed woman Mrs. Lucas pre- served her temper wonderfully. Only when she discovered a loaf of newly-baked bread was missing did her good nature fail her, She demanded to know what had become of the bread. One of the officers told her he thought it had dropped in the crock of plum butter. She looked into the crock and saw some crumbs, but a considerable portion of the butter was gone. The situation needed no explanation, While apparently engaged in moving out the furniture the boys had broken the loaf into pieces, dipped them in the plum butter, and had lunched. The bluck eyes snapped over this discovery. “Who did it! she demanded Of course the oune addresscd pointed out another man in the yar ‘*He looks as if he had been out of the pen- itentiary about a month," she said, and wol- Jified by the wupproving laughter of the oficers who heard her, she went on packing up her dishes, and said no more about the plain butter and bread, The settlers’ union has rawsed and spent many thousands of dollars fighting the river-land company, The organization was for a long e represented at Washington by & man named Dawley. One winter after- noon, two years ago, Dawley went to a ‘Turkish bath establishment in” Washington and died the The coroner sala that it was a case of heart disease. During the campaign with the marshal's posse the scttlers repeatedly stated that they belicved Dawley was poisoned by somebody working in the interest of the river-land company. Mr. Clark was asked ; What is there in tnis story the settlors have that Dawley was poisoned (" “Of course he was poisoued, said Clark, stoutly. ‘1 haven't any doubt of it. Whe he went to the Turkish bath place there was @ wan with bl who bas mever becn scen licd the old man prompuly t day to this.

That has proven true. During the days intervening a large number of the settlers have made terms with the owners or agents of the lands, and will continue to live whers thoy have lived for years. The few evictions that have been made during the past week have been made quictly, without resistance, and have at tracted no attention. Now that the owners of the land have determined to enforce pa ment or evict the scttlers, they are prised in m: instances to find how well off some of these squatters are. It is not surprising when it is remembered that they have lived, in some instances, for” a mumber 'of years upon land which cost them nothing” at the beginning, and nothing since for reut; so that all they made from their farms was so much clear guin, Mr. Hans Kundson, a_ Norwegiun, who had been living upon land belonging to M. Richard Snell, near Fort Dodge, was ouc of this kind. A writ of eviction had been made out against him, and on the day before it was to hive boen served he camo into town and told Mr. Snell that he wanted to settle. He had lived for about a dozen years on a good, fertile quarter scetion, which he had improved aad was fairly prosperous. When asked what terms ho would give, Mr. Snell said he would let him have the land for 15 an acre, but that he should want part down to hold the bargain, and the balunce could run on long time. I1e thought the Nor- wegian, it he did not beg off entirely, would want to pay about £100 down and wait a long time before paying the rest. But, to his as tonishment, Kundson said:, “Ill yoi £1,200 downi and the rest i thirty days.” The settler had really gotten ahead so well on his borrowed land that he was about ready to pay for it all out of the profits while he had been living upon it. Other settlers who had been living for many years on land which had cost them nothing, had made suficient money to buy rms on other land where the title was not in dispute, and when forced to pay up or vo the land which they had occupicd rent concluded to mové and by adjoining, to which they could title, Mr. will ‘o _absent from Fort Dodize for n few days. During that time therogyill be no op- portunities for settlement, nof wilt there ve any evictions.

Heo keeps tab in a note book of suggestions that are made, not all of course, but those that come from men whose opinions aro of value, and points that strike him as fmportant. 1o is in the uttis tude of attention and questions all his visitors on topics that ¢ s mind. One of the points upon v ways asks the views of his the propriety of calling an ext o of coe wress. Ho makes s pilgrims no sceret of his own opinion, that there should be a rovision of the tariff 4s soon as possible, and does nob expeet that the two parties will agree upon a bill at the approaching session. Whother it is Dest to wait for the new congress to asd semble at the constitutional time in Decems bor, 158, or call it together at once after tha inaliguration, is to him the most important question to decide. 1f an extra_seasion 18 called in March the organization of the housa can be perfected, and the committee on con- tested seats and the committee on ways and means can be appointed and spend the sums mer investiguting the claims of contestants and in preparing a tariff bill.
