L i LAYS CLAIM 0 ALL SKYHOMISH Legal Contest at Seattle for the Northern Towansite. Scrip Issued in. -Washington's Time the Basis for:the Claim. Was Awarded ‘to the Heirs of ‘a Messenger Killed During the Revelution. SEATTLE, Wasn., Dec. 1.—A .contest begun in the United States Land Office here to-day is full of interesling features, not the least of which is-the attempt- of John 8. Sturgis of this to force ac- cepiance by the ment of “scrip issued in settlement of a claim arising out of the Indian wars during the time of President Washington's incumbency in 1792. During that year Joseph Gerard was engaged by Washington to. carry a message to the hostile Indians from Fort Washington, now Cincinnati, Ohio, to the Northwest Territory. ©On the trip Gerard was killed by the Indians, and not until 1855 was the claim brought'by the heirs properly adjusted by Congress and par- tially fied. Racnel Gerard, later’ Rachel Gerard- Blue-Reese, A. P. Gerard and William Gerard, children of the messenger, were given Government scrip entitling each to one full section of Government land, tul- filling the epirit of the inducement offered | by General Washington, as the law passed at the time said. Later William Gerard or his heits retarned his scrip_and . in its stead was_issued other scrip, each pie¢e caliing for forty acres of land. Itisone of these later issues which. figures ‘in the contest here to-day. The land in contest is the townsite of Skykomish, on the Great Northern Rail- road, and is ‘fow worth many thotsands | of dollars, Sturgis. hopes to have the} Government cancel a -squattér’s claim made previous to survey and award him the land. The Great Northern Railroad Company as successors of the cld - St. Paul, Minne- apolis and Manitoba Railroad, in 1892 was awarded a grant of 680,000 acres of land in this State bv Congress in lien of land formerly granted to the older road in Min- nesota and Dskota. The Great Northern in 1893 laid claim to the townsite as part of the grant. To-dgy, however, it with- drew the claim and the confest 1s now upon the merits of the Sturgis. -claim and that of the squatter. Sturgis alleges that thesquatter has con- verted the land into a.townsite in viola- tion of the homestead laws, but the latter will attempt to show that previous to the sarvey theé completion 6f .the ‘Great Northern brought in a number of town- site boomers whom it was-impossible to keep off the land. The land is now covered by the best part of the town of Skykomish, while title to it isin doubt. The contest will last several days anad all important citizens of the place have been brought as witnesses. The Gerard scrip involved has been used in other importantlocal contests. - At one time it was attempted to be filed apon a tract of land in one of the best residence sections of this city, which originally be- longed to an old donatjon claim, title to which was in some doubt. - The scrip was originally brought to Sesttle by W. C, Hill, a former resident of Washirgton, the prior owner being J. L. Arms, also of the Capital City OREGON SHORT LINE DECREE. The Road to Be Sold at Auction if the First Mortgage Debt Is Not Paid Within Five Days. SALT ‘LAKE, Urtn, Dec. 1L—In the Federal Court here to-day Judge Sanborn made & decree in thetwo cases in which James M. Ham and Oliver Ames, trustees, are plaintiffs and ‘the Oregon Short Line and Utah Nortbern Railway Company and its receivers are defendants. By the decree the defendant company is required to pay to the clerk of the Federal court $3,417,516, the amount of the first mortgages and unpaid interest coupons on the portion of the line known as the Utah Southern extension, within five days, otherwise the lines embraced in the sys- tem will be sold at public auction to the highest bidder for cash after four weeks’ publication of the notice of sale. Hop. William D. Cornish of 8t. Paul is appointed special master to take charge of the company, immediately on its failure 10 vay the amount decreed by the court. By the terms of the decree all expendi- tures of thé system under the manage- ment of the receivers and the court, costs are considered vprior liens to the mort- gage, and tne firss, proceeds of the sale are to be devoted to the liquidation of whatever.may be due ‘on those expendi- tures. After the'sale the reorganization com- mittee will assume control of the company, which shall- hereafter be segregated from the Unign - Pacific.system, and: shall be known as the Oregon Shorf Line Bnd Utah Northern Raiirnad, the change in title being the substitution of the word “railyoad” for ‘‘railway.” ‘The decree recites that on July 1, 1879 the Utah southern extension bonds.were issued, with ‘James M. Ham and Hon. William H. Hooper as trustees. Later Hooper died and Oliver Ames was substi- tuted as trustee. 4 The amount of the extension mortgages under these bonds was $1,950,000, and up to December 1, 1896, the amount of cou- pons and ingerest due was §i62,516, which remained unpaida total of $2,417,516, On July 1; 1879, & general mortgage was also placed upon the proper:y to secure an issue of bonds in the sum ot $1,526.000. On Judy 1, 1881, the Utah Southern and Uiah Central railways were consolidgted with and operated under t!'e Oregon Short Line and Utah Northern Railway; there- fore, the decree is against that organiza- tion. The lines affected are now known as the TUtab“Division and the Idabo Division of the Union Pacific, embracing 1421.2 miles. The main lines are from Granger, Weyo., to Huntington, Or., Ozden, Utah, ‘to Mc- Cammon, Idaho, and Pocatello, Idaho, 10 Siiver Bow, Mont., with braunches as “fol- lows: SBhoshone to Keichum, Nampa to Boise and Cache Junction to Preston. kit g 206 Good Sleighing at Pendleton.

Sir Joseph Lister Eulogizes the Ameri- can Embassador. LONDON, Exe., Dec. 1.— The anni- versary dinner of the Royal Society was given yesterday. . Among the guests was Hon. Thomas F. Bayard, the American Embassador, who provosed a toast to Sir Joseph Lister, president of the society. In speaking to the toast, Mr. Bavard paid a handsome tribute to the work that Lad been achieved. Mr. Joseph, replying to the {oast, eulo- gized Mr. Bayard, who, he said, had en- deared himsell to everybody b{i his genu- inelove for the old country. Mr.. Bayard, he added, must have a feeling of greatest patriotism, as he (Bayard) had quietly re- marked to him that the hopes of his life had been aimost fulfilled and that when he leit he would feel that the clouds that once seriousy threatened the amicable relations of the United States and Great Britain had entirely cleared away during bis term of office. This 8ir Joseph ascribed as largely due to Mr, Bayard's beneficent efforts. SRS S AP To Cancel Letter Stamps. T. G.

TACOMA, Was., Dec. 1.—News comes from Ainslie, Lewis Céunty, that Mrs. N. Henderson last week found several pieces she had purchased of a local butcher. The pieces were larger than a tlat Seed and looked as thougzh they had been in the duck’s storage department for some time. Male members of the Hendergon family began ac immedlate investigation. They found the duck had been secured from a Winlock firm, which in turn had pur- chased it of settlers living in the Cowlitz Valley, east of Winlock. E Near their ranch a range of hills rises up from the valley. It was decided to do some prospecting among these hills and an expedition was organized.’ Late last week the prospectors’ search was rewarded by the finding of several quartz seams near together at a point about-seven miles from Winlock. Charles Johnson and one of Mrs. Henderson's sons are reported to have made the lucky discovery. They siaked out claims and then returned home: for provisions and tools with which to do. development work, 1 Since then spow has covered the hills, but if it does not get too deep a shaft wili be sunk this winter.. The quartz found appears.to be rich in gold, and assays are, now being made. From the way the seams run it is believed that they will form into one wide vein a short distance below the surface. 4 The find has cansed considerable excite-. ment at Winlock. Several ducks and geese in the valley have subsequently been kitled to prove the Henderson story from Ainslie. In oue of these ‘coarse gold, identical in character - with ‘that first found, was discovered. MINTON EAI]_N'I - TIME Resigned His Position to-Attend to Other Duties at " San Anselmo. An Indianapolis Man to Succeed Him in Westminster Presbyterian Chiurch. : Rev. Dr. Henry C. Minton, for the past two years pastor of the Westminster Pres- byterian Church, has resigned. He will bereaiter devote -his time exclusively to the Theological Seminary at San Anselmo, in which institution he has long occupied the position of professor of theology. The. resignation was tendered and -ac- cepted at the last session of the elders o the church, and was entireiy the sugges. tion of Dr. Minton, as botb the elders and with their pastor’s . work and preaching. He is considered by many to be the finest preacher on the coast. Dr. Minton resides necessary time to pastoral work, and for a long time past has felt dissa:isfied at not being able to live-among his flock. The Rev. apolis has been appointed in the place va- cated by Dr. Minton.

SWAIN, WEHE AND JEROME. Assoclated Cycling Clubs’ Presidency a Three-Cornered Fight. There may op may not be a triangular fight for the presidency of the California Associated Cycling Clubs at its annual meeting next Saturday night, and the club wheelen are just now taking a zood deal of interest in the matter. When Harlow H. White, the very popular Olympic clubman, refused renomination, which would have been +quivalent to elec- tion with him, the name of A. P.Bwain of the Aéme Olub was proposed and re- |. ceived hearty indorsement on all sides. But opposition sprang up from the San Francisco Road (lub, who put forward A.W.Wehe. Mr. Wehe put up a strong fight and secured many promises of votes, but his chief drawback was that he is com- paratively unknown among the whee men, wulle Mr. Swain has ‘beer active cycling polities for years. ' Last Sunday E. B. Jerome of the Reliance Club was put forward as a compromise candidate, and agreed to rup if- Swain and Wehe withdrew, which it was thought they would do, as Mr. Jeroine would be a hard man to beat. Wehe was willing, but Mr. Swain states that he is in the fight too far now to back out, and that he is there to stay. This bas resulted in the coming back of Wehe. The president has the ap- pointment of all the association commit- tees, inclu@ing the road racing board, and the office is therefore a prizé in its way. There will be no contest for_the office of secretary-treasurer, Jules F.'Hsncock of’ the Bay City Wheelmen, the incumbent, is the only candidate, and his excellent" past record thoroughly entitles him to re- election. % g 3 .
