him there during his whole term They do
not desire Ia 20 into another election before
his term commences, and have the fight
over again. We have no doubt he is satis-

have jumped and pre-empted the town site of
Belleville, the county seat of Republic cOun-

number Of store buildings and residences.
Altogether We take it to be rather soft thing
for the jumpers. Fym what We can learn Of
the matter il was not what might he consid-
cred actual JUMPING, for the gentleman who
pre-empted the site was one of the town COM
pany, and to him had been entrusted the care
Of entering the land from the government

contracts formed and entered into at

Guided to conduct affairs to suit himself Two
others entered into the speculation with him,
acting As witnesses in proving up on the land,
and share an equal portion Of the spoils.
The balance Of the discounted town company
have been endcavoring 10 institute criminal
proceedings against the gentlemen, and had
him arrested under a charge Of grand lar
