Edgerton's Comfort for settlers.

Washington Special:-Said Senator Ed
gerton:
/ think Mr.. jerks will concede to about
all Of the material demands OF the settlers.
He is q fair-minded officer, and all the Da-
kota delegation have the utmost faith IN
him, and also in Secretary Lamar. Mr..
jerks informed Gov. Mellette and me that
he would do all he could for the relief ofthe
distressed settlers. He will hold in his rul-
ings hereafter that fraud must be
shown in proving up before an entry
will be cancelled. Also when notice is Civ
en- OF a suspended entry theparties may APP
pear before the local land office and a sus-
pension and notice of suspension shall OPP
crate the same as a rule in court to show
cause. All the parties h make the en-
try will have to do will be to present pa
pers showing that entry and proof OF en-
try were made in the usual way. Then the
government must produce it's proof estab-
fishing fraud. In case this is not done the
entry will not be cancelled.
evil! there be any legislation on this sub
iect?"
"Yes, there have been already some bills
introduced on the subjects but one will be
prepared at the department which think
will be passed and which will
cover all the cases In issue and
viii avoid trouble in the future. 1t viii
provide for the trial OF cases in contestin a
special court. In case the court determines
that there was fraud in the entry, and the
land has passed into the hands OF an limo
cent purchaser or mortgage, he shall be
| permitted to enter it at least double the
regular minimum price"
What win be done with the cases at the
BARI"
This will not interfere with them. The
cases which have gone to the courts by or.
der OF the land commissioners viii proceed
Go trial, but they will not be subject, o
| course, to provisions made subsequent tc
the beginning OF the trial."
The Warner sun. (Warner, Brown Co., Dakota [S.D.]) 1885-1???, 1886-01-22
Judge Edgerton Laboring with the Land
COmmissinnar

Washington special:-Senator Edgerton
Of Dakota has been in conference with AS
sistant Secretary jerks, OF the interior de-
partment, much of the time during the
past forty-eight hours, and it is probable
that an order wall be promulgated by the
latter. which will right some OF the wrongs
perpetrated by the recent orders issued by
Commissioners Sparks. Senator Edgerton
asks that the order shall require acontest-
ant OF a ase passed upon by the local
office to give notice of contest to the
holder OF the land, and to prove fraud be-
lore there can be a suspension OF the pat
ents. He also wants to protect the limo
cent purchaser or party making a
loan upon land which has been obtained
fraudulently. He thinks that the innocent
purchaser or mortgage should be allowed
TO enter the land payments, provided that
it is shown that the ~ori2inal settler
has committed fraud in proving
up without a sufficient settlement
on the land. He also asks that in the fu-
ture no titles where a land officers receipt
has been given on agricultural lands shall
be suspended or Cancelled until n hearing
shall be had before the local land officer
and right given to appeal to the land com
missioner and secretary OF the interior;
that at such hearings due notice must
be given parties interested by publica-
ton or otherwise, and that upon
the government in these cases must
rest the burden Of proving that the origi-
nal decision OF the local land office was OBJ
tanned through fraud; also that oil entries
in agricultural lands that have been sus-
pended shall be removed and placed on the
same footing as those named after the is
suance OF this order, and there will be a
provision in the order to compel the at
tendance OF witnesses. Senator Edgerton
thought that while the remedies in the
courts may be ample, they are too expen-
sive and too slow to meet the wants OF the
people.

Lieut.. Greedy Banquetted.

Lieut.. Greedy was entertained by a dis
tinguished party OF gentlemen in New York
n few days ago. He made a modest ac-
acknowledgements OF the honor, and then
sketched some OF the achievements OF the
expedition, paying eloquent t-ibutes to the
courage, loyalty and devotion of his men,
as something OF which all Americans should
be proud.
SIN regard to the responsibility Tor the
disaster of Sabine" he said, sit is not my
purpose to comment. Tnepublic were very
much dissatisfied with the way matters
were managed, and | feel that what |
would say now would have hut little
force. In the account which | have writ
ten I have given but two pages to the ques-
ton OF the responsibility OF the men con-
nected with it. / believe that the respon-
sibility for that disaster was divided.
While / did land my men where | promised
to two years before, ! blame myself that
did not go farther-that did nottake into
nv hands the question of safety. But go
inc there as a lieutenant OF the army I felt
that it was not my place to enter into the
