Record Book A of Huntington County Reveals Important Memorandum.

HEIR OF "LITTLE TURTLE."

I AMES WALCOTTS CLAIMS VAL

UABLE LANDS AS ONLY HEIR BY DESCENT OF ORIGINAL MIAMI OWNER.

One of the Strong Scenes from "The Land of Dollars," by George Ade.

Huntington, Ind., Dec. 28. The discovery in record book A of Huntington county, of a memoranda of the consent of President John Quincy Adams to the transfer of certain land now claimed by James Walcotts as an heir of Little Turtle, has resulted in arrangements being made by Frank Satterthwaite, present holder of ihe land, to contest the claim of Walcotts, which is based upon a patent recently signed by President Roosevelt. Walcotts alleged that the land could not be transferred bv Ann Turner without the con

sent of the president, according to the terms of the treaty with the Miamis,

and that such consent had never been

obtained, hence his right to the prop

' erty as the only heir of Ann Turner, to

whom it df8cpnded from Little Tur

tle.

The memorandum of the consent of

President Adams to the transfer of the property is dated April 3, 1828. It is a certified copy of the original, said to be on file in Washington, and was placed on the records of Huntington county May 16, 1877. In copying the deed by which Ann Turner conveyed the land to James Barnett and Samuel Hanna, Nov. 28, 1827, from record A - to another record, the consent of the president was omitted, but the original record of the transfer contains the certified cpoy.

There were others Who favored more drastic measures, fcnd many tenants discussed a combined stand against the marshals in the event of evictions. Pauline Newman, the woman leader bf the strike movement, is in. favor of moderation. She has told the women associated with her that they can hope to win by united action if they are areful to keep within the law. HE SAW THE SIGN.

Stores Devotod Entirely to Thorn Many Cities of Europe.

Franco is the premier snail producing nation, although Austria, Bavaria

and Switzerland have thousands of snail farms, where the famous escargots are raised and fattened on vine leaves. The demand for snails in France is far too great for the supply to be left to chance, and thus it comes about that snail farming is an important industry. Paris alone consume millions between September and May, when these little creatures are at their best. In great cities of Europe are stores devoted entirely to them, each orna

mented by an immense gilt snail over the door as a sign. Huge tuba of snails in the rough are displayed, and there are besides dishes of carefully prepared mollusks all ready for eating. These have been cooked, extracted from their shells and minced. The meat is then mixed with butter, chopped parsley and herba, and the shells, trimmed and made attractive, are refilled with this prepared paste. The most popular snails today come from Dijon and Macon, in Burgundy,

where they are fed on vine leaves, and the parks, as the local snail farms are

Five trainmen met death, four being killed instantly. The fifth one died three hours later. 'All passengers escaped injury. The passenger locomotive plowed under the engines of the double-header and the trainmen were buried in the wreckage. All the dead trainmen lived in Detroit.
