D, July 25.—(Special.) ~The settlers on the abandoned Fort Ran- dall military reservation, in the south central portion fof the state, near the Ne- braska border, are preparing to circulate petitions asking congress at its session next winter to grant the settlers free homesteads on their lands. The tract was opened under & special act, to which the free homestead law does not apply, and the settlers are required to pay a certaln sum per acre for the land filed upon by them. What is known as the Fort Randall reser- vation was occupled by Brigadier General Harney In 1855, and by order ot June 14, 1860, the 125,000 acres embraced in the reservation were formally set aside for military purposes. Three or four years ago, the post having been abandoned some years prior, the lands embraced fn the reservation were opened to settlement Practically all' the land s now occupled by actual settlers, who argue that inasmuch as the milltary resarvation was confiscated from the Indians by the government, not costing the latter a cent, it would be no more than just and fair for congress enact such leglslation as would cause th provisions of the free homestead law to be extended to the Jand. The repr tives from South Dakota in congre be asked to take hold of the matter and urge the passage of a bill releasing the settlers from the payments required at present before they can procure title to their homesteads.

Fosburgh alsb answered in the negative when she .was asked whether His testimony was on the same lines as | that of Miss Chapin. He added that the | first time he saw Mr. Fosburgh, sr., he had on- nightshirt and trousers. The defandant | was dressed. Dr. Paddock came to the Fosburgh house three-quarters of an hour atter Dr. Schofleld. Witness was cer- tain that he noticed the footprints, which | seemed to be those made by two men who | had dropped down from the piazza roof. On cross-examination the witness sald he had introduced Mr. Chapman to Mr. Fosburgh, sr., and he heard the latter ask Chapman to keep outsiders from the house. Officer White appeared about that time with a shoe ‘and hat in his hand. Miss Bertha Sheldon, the young woman who was visiting the Fosburghs when the shooting occurred, then went upon the witness stand. On the night of the shooting she occupled the guest chamber. leading from May's room. The witness then proceeded to re- late the happenings of Sunday, both day and evening. Sunday night May sang “‘The Holy City,” and she remembered that the members of the family kissed one another and bade one another good night, as was | thelr custom. Shortly after midnight, she | was awakened by a plercing seream, and | then she heard a plstol shot. She got up, | opened the door and asked what was the | matter. She saw May upon the floor and she saw young Robert Fosburgh near his room. She also saw Beatrice, Mr. Fos- burgh, sr., and his wife, She called Bea- | trice to her and again asked what had | happened. District attorney objected to the witness giving the answer Beatrice gave. The court retired with counsel to consider in private the admissibllity of this evidence, Judge Stevens announced that by ngree- ment of counsel the question would be answered, and Miss Sheldon sald that Beatrico exclaimed, “Burglars have en- tered the house and shot May. Wit- ness sald that she then returned to her room, dressed and went down stairs. The admission of what Miss Beatrice sald (0 Miss Sheldon was regarded as a victory for the defense. Continuing her testimony, Miss Sheldon sald that she spent the rest. of the night down stairs. She went away in the forenoon, very much ex- cited and nervous. She knew. she would be fn the way if she stayed. The witmess described the scene in May's room at some length. She saw Mrs. Robert Stewart | Fosburgh bend over her husband, who was at the side of May on the floor, She would say that all the members of the Fosburgh family were very much.de- | voted to each other. by Mr. Crosby On cross-examination | Miss Sheldon sald she re- with Colonel Whitney and Captain Parker of the Providence detective force about the tragedy. She told Colonel Whitney she had | heard a shot and that she had then got up “Did you see any burglars that night?" “No, #Ir." In re-direct examination by Mr. Joyner, Miss Sheldon sald she told Mr. Whitney that what she did know was very little. Cross-examined by Mr. Whitney, Miss | Sheldon said she had not heen in Pittsfield | since the day of the tragedy nor had she | Fosburgh house. This cluded Miss Sheldon's testimony.
