DAKOTA.
A Grave Defect.

A case in Sargent county furnishes an IL
lustratiOn of a grave defect in the land laws
OF their administration. In August, 1888,
two brothers, Crosswait, proved up on two
claims. The government agents in the land
Office accepted the proofs as correct, and on
the strength of this prima facie evidence
that a patent would issue, an agency loaned
them money to make Improvements with.
Since that time one of the claimants has
died an the other moved to Oregon. Re
Gently those who hold the land were notified
from Washington that complaint had been
made that the proofs were illegal, and to
meet on a certain day to show cause why
the entries should not be Cancelled. A Spe-
cial agent of the department appeared with
witnesses eager to swear away the claim
and possibly secure it themselves. 1t will
no doubt be cancelled. What then becomes
of the security of the money loaners or the
interests of innocent purchasers? The
special agents and land officers should look
into questions of fraud before the proof is
made, and the acceptance of the proof by
the government agents should be conclusive
as to the title to the land. Those who have
committed perjury should be prosecuted.
The men who have made false proof are
quite likely to sell out and leave very soon,
and the innocent purchasers are made to
suffer. They have right to presume that
the acceptance of the proof by the land
Office will be followed by a patent. They
pay their money for the improved land, and
it is gross wrong and injustice to make
them responsible for frauds of which they
know nothing The recent order suspend
ing the issuance of patents indefinitely is a
further aggravatiOn. No one is safe in
loaning money to prove up and improve a
claim, as experts may years after hunt up
Witnesses who want to swear the claim
away from the holders. The innocent suf-
fer and the guilty go free, or if not guilty
they are at the mercy Of false witnesses.
Mrs. E. B. Bedding has returned to Minor
from her mission to st. Paul, Chicago and

account of the high rates in freight all the
mill owners on the Chippewa have resolved
to pile no lumber this season, but run their
entire cut down the Chippewa. This
throws great many men out of employ
