that about thirty-five of their homesteads
were held for cancellation, the State claim
ing il was state swamp land. The Com
missioner set a day for trial and the State
must show that over one-half of each sub
division is swamp land in order TO hold it,.
There are great many poor settlers who
have invested their all il improving their
land and are very anxious as to who owns
the land. X. w Butterfied, of Grand Rap
