Our New Judge.
Washington special: The pre;ide:st has
decided to appoint Judg. c'onnell of
Tennessee, chief justice of fMontana, in the
place of Hon. Decius S. Wade, wh:_,, e
term expired in- February, DelegateToole
has been hI:re srongly u:ging a Montana
man for the place, but the president in
formed him that Judge VicConnell was
so strongly recommended that he had de
cided to give him the place, having full
faith in his ability and integrity from the
representations made in his behalf by the
.Tennessee delegation, and many other
friends urged him for the place. The
president claimed that inasmuch as there
were several Montana applicants he con
cluded to appoint an outsider.
An Interesting Land Case.
An interesting decision was lately ren
dered by Commissioner Sparks of tue gen
eral land office in the matter of the pre
emptionclaim of a man named Onillete to
certain land in the Bitter Root valley.
Onillette was an old ,naKhot able to make
a home for iImself eelsewher. Heorigin
:aly made decl~ary statement o.. 804
-for lad i. the ,Bitter :-Roo valley and,
witlHout everlivnig upoit, mae deolar
atory tatement No. 88 for land in the
sae towneship. Upontis he ettle and
ona lanR l Z r pr eeting
ooes tocultivaton on c u
pation and improvement. However it ap
peared on record that Ouillette had made
a former pre-emption claim, namely No.
304, and by the law he was prohibited from
making any other or subsequent claim un
der the pre-emption act. The local office,
therefore, held No. 388 for cancellation
and, No. 304 being gone from him, the -
claimant was entirely knocked out of any
claim. The facts in the case, including
those relating personally to the claimant,
were certified up to the general land office
and, upon consideration, Commissioner
Sparks directed that D. S. No. 383 be can
celled and that D. S. No, 304 be amended
to embrace the land originally claimed
under No. 388 and that the claimant be
permitted to make final proof on said land. 1
Thus Ouillette gets the land upon 'which
ie mfide his hromw and th law-if not rig
idly complied with, is at least not outrag
ed. It was a nice thing to do and those
who have set Commissioner Sparks down
as the inveterate persecutor of settlers
may be inclined by this instance, to change
their minds.--Independent.
