. Charging that the land containing
an operating copper mine and popu
lated townslte at the time that F. EL
Fearce secured it for agricultural
purposes under the homestead laws,
Assistant District Attorney Wyatt
yesterday began action In the United
States court to Bet aside the patent
to 163.61 acres In Baker county, upon
which the twon of Homestead is sit
uated, says the Oregonian.
The land was entered at the La
Grande land office In 1903, and the
government alleges that as early as
1900 the town contained two saloons,
a hotel, a livery stable and two gen
eral stores. These Improvements are
alleged to bo part of the equipment
for the operation of the property of
the Iron Dyke copper mine, located
on the homestead, V . '
When the mine waB originally lo
cated, it was recorded In the county,
as were a number of other claims in
the copper belt. In 1903 Pearce Ib
said to have appeared at the land of
fice and offered his homestead fllicp
making affidavit that the land was
free from adverse rights and that it
was more, valuable for. agriculture
than for mineral.'

A WILD RACE AGAINST TIME,
The Professor Had to Have the Eggs
Before They Woro Throe Hours Old,
and This Is the Story of How the
Hunter Mado Good His Promi;o.
When Professor Louis Aga.b was
writing a book on the turtles of the
United States It became necessary for
him to have some fresh turtle eggs.
He engaged Mr. Jenks of Mlddleboro.
about forty miles from. Cambridge, to
get them for him. Mr. jeuk promised
that the eggs should be iu AgusHlz's
bands before they were three hours
old. Mr. Jenks. who told the tale to
a writer In the Atlantic Monthly, had
to wait by a certain pond for the tur
tles to come out and lay their egg lu
the . sand. Finally, after weeks of
waiting, one morning about 4 o'clock
a turtle crawled up the beach, partly
buried herself In the soft sand and
laid her egg. Mr. Jenks went on to
say: -
As she did so the distant rlxU struck
4. There was no train till after l. aud
the eggs must be In Cambridge in
three hours. ' "
I laid the eggs on a bed of sand In,

ran back for my horse. He knew as
well as I that the turtle had laid and
that he was to get those eggs to Agaa

I let him out. I shouted to him.
holding to the dasher with one hand,
the pall of eggs with the other, uot
daring to get off my knees, although
the bang on them as we pounded down
the wood road was terrific. We had
nearly covered the distance to the pike
when ahead of me I beard the sharp
whistle of a locomotive. .
With a pull that lifted the horse
from his feet I swung him into a field
arid sent , him straight as an . arrow
for the track. . ' : ;
By some stroke of luck I got on the
track and backed off before the train
hit my carriage. But the maneuver
was successful, for the engineer, stop

mud and holding as If It were a baby

ed "wide open! ; These are fresh tor
tie eggs for Professor Agassiz of Cam
bridge. He must have them before
breakfast"
The engineer and the fireman no
doubt thought that I was crazy, but
they let me alone, and the fast freight
rolled In swiftly to Boston.
But misfortune was ahead. We
slowed down in the yards and came
to a stop. We were put on a siding
to wait no oue knew how long.

the street in the empty square stood

The cabman saw me coming. :
waved a dollar at him and then an
other, dodged Into the cab, slammed
the door and called out: "Cambridge
Harvard college! . Professor Agasalz's
house! I've got eggs for Agassis!" and
1 pushed another dollar up at him
through the hole. , '
"Let him go!" I ordered. "Here's an
other dollar for you If you make Ajras-
six's house in twenty minutes!"
We flew to Cambridge. There was
a sudden lurch, and I dived forward.
rammed my head Into the front of the
cab and came up with a rebound that
landed me across the small of my
back on the seat und sent half of my
pall of eggs belter skelter over the
floor. But we were, nt Agassiz's house.
I tumbled out and pounded the door,
VAgassilz!" I gasped when the maid
came. "I wnut Trofe-ssor. Agnsslx

She protested that be was In ted

then a door overhead was flung open, a
