much aa Ita line between Fort Dodge and
Council Bluffs was not completed by Jan

suit against the county and secured a tem
porary restraining order from Judge Macy
enjoining the county auditor and county
treasurer from placing on the books the

position that the action of the state exec

WEDDING ISJJFF FOR GOOD
Prospective Bridegroom Haa Hla
Former Sweet heart Placed
la Jail.
Mary Kline, a pretty and winsome miss
of It years, waa arrested laat evening on
complaint of Max Knapp, whose love she
bad spurned after having, as he alleged.
promised to marry him. The young woman
Was taken Into custody on a warrant Is
sued from the court of Justice Ouren and
was placed In the county Jail. She Is
Charged with vagrancy.
The parent of the girl until recently
resided In this city, but are now Uvtng
tn Alta, la. Knapp, who Is foreman at
the Armour packing house In South Omaha,
met the girl while she waa working in
that city. He became enamored of her
despite the fact that she waa not then
ven 16 years of age. He wooed with ardor
and the girl finally promised to marry htm
provided her mother would consent. The
mother gave her consent and Knapp'a Joy
knew no bounda.
Knapp la a swimmer of repute and some
few years ago while In Kansa City saved
a wealthy woman of that city from drown
ing. .. The woman In her gratitude gave
Knapp a valuable pair of diamond ear
rings and a diamond ring. Whea 16-year-old
Mary Kline consented to beoome his
wife Knapp bestowed the earrings and
ring on her and supplemented the gift
with a valuable gold watch and ohaln.
Mary, however, while apparently thankful
for the handsome Jewelry, told her ardent
lover, who la old enough to be her father,
that Jewelry would not clothe her. Knapp
realised the truth of this and drew a
goodly sum from his savings in the bank
with which he bought the girl everything
In the way of clothing that she asked for.
The wedding day waa set. but Mary In
sisted when It came round that It be post
poned. Knapp consented, although re
luctantly. Mary promised that she would
marry him laat Sunday and her mother, It
la amid, came from Alta to witness the
wedding. Knapp was on hand, but Msry
waa not There was no wedding, for the
reason that Mary could not be found.
Knapp'a love waa now turned to hate and
lie started on Mary's trail. He hied himself
to the court of Justice Ouren and filed an
Information charging her with vagrancy.
Mary was arrested last evening by Con
Stable Albertl while she was promenading
with a young man In Cochran park. . She
waa wearing the diamond earrings that
Knapp had given her, as well aa the watch
and chain, but admitted that she had
pawned the ring. She told the court that
he would not marry Knapp If she had to
Stay In prison all her life.

E. Tefft of New York, a atudent of Ruck- I

Justice Is Kind-Hearted.
Goldle Freestone will go to Omaha to the
House of the Good Shepherd at the private
expense of Judge Duncan, who, touched by
her extreme youth of 13 years, preferred to
send her there rather than commit the lit
tle girl to the penitentiary. Goldle was
found living with a friend in a single room
with two male companiens. The law pro
vides no way in which the county or state
can be made to pay her expenses at Omaha
so the Judge demonstrated the good In his
heart by going into his own pocket.
The three who are charged with enticing
the little girl away from her home are
Charles Talbot, Fred Smith and Alice
Stewart. An effort was made to get the
Judge to dlsmlBs the case If the girl and
Talbot would marry. Duncan refused to
do thla on the grounds that he had already
heard too much of such unions.

commission makes rejoinder to points cov
ered in the petition of the British side of
the case, which appears contains twenty
or more documents which heretofore have
not been given to the public.
The additional evidence referred to bears
upon the negotiations which took place be
tween Great Brltlan and Russia during
the yeara 1823 to 1825, and it ia contended
that thla new evidence In no way altera
any material contention made In the orig
inal allegation, but that on the contrary
"It confirms and strengthens the position
of the United Statea."
Theae documents consist largely of atate
menta made and letters written by Mr.
Pelly, who waa at that time deputy gov
ernor of the Hudson Bay company, and It
la contended that hla letters fully auataln
the assertion that In fixing a line of de
markatton the British government acted
solely In the Interests of that company.
The commissioners discuss at some length
the claim made by their opponents that
roauy protests have been filed by British
officials agalnat the American claim in ref
erence to the boundary line. They admit
that from . time to time there have been
Informal representatlona but these they
assert were In the main without sufficient
data to Justify serious consideration.
Geld Excites English Interest.
Indeed, they say that never until after
the Klondike gold discoveries were made
In 1896 did the British government take
up the question seriously. They admit that
In 1898 attention was called to the claims of
the British government that the ten-league
strip extended only from the main waters
of the ocean, but they say that this con
tention was not made absolutely clear un
til the British case waa delivered to the
present tribunal on May I last.
In support of the American contention
that the atrip ahould measure from tide
water and from the heads of bays and In
lets a number of depositions are produced
in connection with the counter case, going
to show the occupation sf this strip by set
tlers from the United States since 1880.
Especial effort Is directed toward showing
the control of the country about the head
of the Lynn canal. Including the sites of
the towns of Dyea, Skagway, White Pass
and Lake Bennetts, it also Is stated that
numerous documents have been preserved
which had been given to Indian chiefs and
others by officiate of the United Statea,
ahowlng the presence In the Lynn canal
Inlets of naval and other authorities of the
United States annually for twenty yeara
after the United Statea acquired the terri
tory. It la contended that thla occupation
and control were known to the Canadian
government and Ita people.
Instability of Boundary. .
Discussing the boundaries proposed by
Great Britain the commission makes refer
ences to the instability of the boundary, and
concludea that tha United Statea haa from
the time of tne cession of Alaska to the
present day maintained but one interpreta
tion of the treaty of 183. Its position baa
been open and known to the world. It la
the same which waa preaented to the tri
bunal In its case end which It now reiter
ates in thla counter case.
The argument In the caae ia a careful
atudy of mapa, treatlea and other docu
ments bearing upon the boundary conten
tion and It Is Intended to drive borne the
facta presented to which reference la made.
Considerable spare Is devoted to the part
played by the Klondike gold discoveries In
arousing Great Britain's Interest In the con
roversy, and In thla connection notloe la
taken of an aasertlon made by the British
commissioners hat the towns of Dyea and
Skagway owed their existence to the migra
tion to the Klondike.
They assert, on the contrary, that Dyea
was founded In 18tf and Skagway In lSBt.
They contradict flatly a contention made

by the British commissioners to the effect
that "Canada's claim to the territories at
the head of Lynn canal waa at the time
well known to the United Statea govern
ment." Not Foanded on Fact,
"Thla," they aay, "la a gratuitous asser
tion. There Is no proof to sustain It. Can
ada never put forward any such claim to
the United States. The claim was first
made In 1888 by Great Britain before the
Joint High commission. It is said that 'If
the Canadian government had instructed
British vessels to disregard these relations
there would have been grave danger of a
serious collision.' There undoubtedly would
have been a collision, Just as certainly aa
If they had been Instructed to disregard the
regulations of the port of New York."
Strong exception also is taken to the con
tention that there was a reservation on the
part of Oreat Britain, when the United
States volunteered to create a port of entry
at Dyea, Tha argument asserts that what
ever reservation there was was made by a
commissioner of customs, and that be had
no authority in the premises.
