acres each, had been made in that district, and
that of these 100 claims, there were only two

been made by parties who if they had {
name, had no habitatiOn, and Immediately
upon completing the proofs, decided the lands
to the parties who had furnished the money.

Minnesota, has drawn the $50, 900 prise in
the drawing of May 8, last, Of the Louisiana

declining years. Mr.. Wegger was born in
Norway in 1922 He removed from that
country to New York in 1850, whence he
came to Minnesota in 1861 enlisted in the army
