Further Proceedings OF the Senats
Investigating Committes upon
the Ellis Claim.

San FRAScisco, Jan. 10-3 p. NJ
The Senatorial Committee ON the inves-
tigation Of the Ella claim resumed its
session this morning. A number OF
witnesses wero examined. mostly own.
ers OF property In the district. The
gist Of their testimony was to the effect
that until within q short time they had
heard nothing Of Ellis claim TO the land
on which they were located, and those
who had known Of IL became aware OF
il mostly through street talks or news
paper utterances and had been led 70
believe that II amounted to nothing.
Judge Cowles testified that he had been
well acquainted with affairs In that
vicinity since an early day; that no i'm.
provements on the property had been
made by Ellis, nor had hs ever fenced
the land claimed by him. and that no
one could bound or define Ellis claim.
He had employed a competent person
to hunt up Ellis claim in the records,
but had founi nothing but his pre-
emption OF 1869. Il vas also shown
that eonvsysncos from one Healing. now
deceased. had been made and legally
recognized. involving title TO q portion
Of the land claimed BY Ellis for years
subsequent to the date Of this pre-
emption. Tho investigation 10 nearly
completed and the committee will prob.
ably soon adjourn.
