Cottonwood Townsite.

The following special to the Independent
will prove interesting reading to residents
of tott onwood and vicinity:
Assistant Secretary Chandler to-day re-
verSed one Of Sparks decisions in the case
of cha rles Lehman. assignee Of William W.
DE Witt, who made ~ presumption entry in
Helena district. The defendant proved up
ON the land and sold il L" Lehman. but
Sparks found "a clerical error in the proof
and held the land for cancellation, even
after Lehman had made $50, 900 improve
ments upon il. he Witt refused to correct
the mistakenade, aud Lehman asked that
a patent he issued in proof that DE Witt
had complied with the law. This Sparks
refused, for the reason that the law and the
rules "allow pre-enptor only. II living, To
make publication notice on presumption
affidavit" Chandler holds differently aud
saws the equity in the case should allow
Lehman to show DE Witt had complied
with the law. But he also directs that "A
special agent lie present at the hearing. AZ
when DE Witt made his final proof only five
acres were broken, yet the improvements
were valued at 81 600 and now are worth
S2O,OoO. The town of Cottonwood has
grown up on the land. and the secretary is
of the opinion that the land may have been
entered for the purpose Of establishing n
townsite, instead of for agricultural pur-
poses.
