CLAM JuxP1xo.-ARev. W.lHayden. a worthy
man in poor health, came to Minnesota last fall
from New Sharon, Me-. and. msde claim in
the vicinity OF Elm Creek. He made some i'm.
prorements, put up house, and went east for
his large family. By the most prudent use OF
his scanty means he was barely able to land
them all in the Territory and to,establish them
in his unfinished house. Never was claim
made in better faith or by person whose cir
cumstances and character gave him fairer IL
tie to honorable consideration as a squatter
upon Government land. A more careful sur
vey of the boundaries brought to light the fact
that his house was just outside of his claim. A
rel hbor advised him to take some boards,
ma ie q lodge and sleep on his claim that very
night. He did so; but awoke in the morning
to find that another man had done the same
thing with a view TO pre-occupy the ground,
and swindle him out of it. The robber with
drew, however. on discovering that Mr.. Hayden
had already taken possession. These are the
facts as We hear them. 5s-ta8
The above case seems worth publishing to
put those who have made claims on their gusr I'd.
There are class Of men prowling around the
settlements who can never see any value in
a quarter section of land until some one else
has claimed it. Then, watching for some infor-
mality on the part OF the claimant. they are
ready to pounce upon his posses si0ns. For
such men there may be no legal punishment /;
but they deserve aud will receive the frown Of
every honest man. ..'es taa- "s1

been turned at large to Craze. missed him Of
late; and after very extensive search found
him harnessed into breaking team some Is
miles up the Minnesota. 1t appears that the
stray had fallen in company with the farmers
horses, and kicked one of them so badly as to
unit him for work, and SO he was punished by
being obliged to step into the traces.

the Government thus deprives the Indians Of a
