For some time past the Liberals have
been mysteriously busy, and it has been
evident that some malicious scheme
was connecting, and such is the case.
1t appears that for some time they have
been inquiriEg into ana examining the
titles of some of the best lands in this
country, especially the B. Y. College
lands. 1t further appears that the
aforesaid Liberals are going 10 test the
validity OF these titles-and If possible
vitiate them, Gust the poor settler and
claimant and take possession. The
Presbyterian Minister here has stated
that he intends starting colony of his
own people on lands so obtained. He.

choice land TO be examined. AffidaYits
are being obtained by these landgrabb-

are: c. c. Goodwin, G. NJ. Parks, Jno.
Nelson, and Mark Fletcher. Before
them they see visions of wealth, OF
which most of them are in need, and
increased prosperity, little caring who
suffers for their pusillanimC rs deeds.

why they should not remove from said
lands and pay rent for the period they

the College will be able to hold their
lands, and succeed in foning the afore
said L. G.. Lbs. But with special agents
and the courts sailed" there is little
hope. From the expression heard on
all sides. it is evident that this scheme
will create quite stir.
