HEROIC INDIAN LOSES HOME Question of Tribal Iand Grant Pat ent Arises at Montesano. MONTESANO, Wash., Feb. 27. (Spe cial.) If a tribal Indian gets a patent from the United States for a piece of land, and fails to pay taxes, can the county legally sell his property for back taxes? This question was brought up when Sampson Johns, a member of the Quiniault tribe, came here today on business relative to his property. In 1890 Sampson secured 80 acres of beach land from the Government, but no trust deed was given him. He paid 0 Tribute to Lumbermens National Service Bank can be traced nnlarv red. :: patrons.

The property was declared de linquent and was sold to the county for taxes, the county later disposing of it to another party. Johns has learned that he does not own the property on which ho baa i re sided for the past 23 years, and both he and his aged squaw shed tears when told of tha matter today. Johns g-ained prominence in 1888 when he went out in a small canoe and rescued seven sailors from the wrecked British bark LiUie Grace, which was being broken to pieces on North Beach.
