Il.
PREAMBLE.

Whereas, We, the people of south
Graham and north Trego counties, feel
ourselves aggrieved by q certain policy
pursued by parties representing them
selves to be q. S. land attorneys, by
placing contests on the claims of parties
whose legal rights to said claims are
known to be unquestionable by their
neighbors, thereby causing unnecessary
litigation and expense to innocent parties.
Therefore be it
Reselved, LIST, That we band ourselves
together for the protection of our mutual
rights. End. That we will aid in the
prosecution of any or all parties who may
claims of innocent parties who are men,
bers of this organization. 3rd. While
we deprecate the interference with those
of our friends who have been in our
midst for years, and those who have set
tied more recently, yet we would hail
with delight all who may come for the
purpose of obtaining a home for them
selves and families. To all such we
tender hearty welcome.
