HELENA, Mont. Jan. PA sensation
was created in Helena by the discovery of

cludes two valuable additions to Helena,
the town-site of Great Falls, and also
part of the town-site of Anaconda. The
man who proposes to profit by the alleged
flaw is r. G. Davies. an attorney
of this city. in reference to the case, Da-
vies says
In 1873 or 879 Maj. James R. Boyce
took up 240 acres of land east of Helena
under the desert land act At the same
time he made application at the land of
flee to make final proof on said desert
claim. VIM. Wallace, Sr., filed protest
against BOyce's entry. The case was
eventually carried to the general land Of
flee at Washington where Boyce entry
was cancelled. Subsequently the land was
entered by BOyce and Wallace, Sr, 100
acres each, with additional homestead
(soldier) script. Accompanying each
piece of script are two powers of attorney
one to locate said script upon lands and
one to sell. | was the attorney in fact for
Abbott, located the land. and as such at
torney in fact transferred the same to John
r. Boyce.
The supreme courts of Arkansas. Califor-
mia and Kansas have lately decided that
the power of attorney accompanying scrip
is void Davies. knowing that there were
parcels of land in Montana located with
this kind of scrip. went east and procured
deeds from Abbott and others for the prop
erty, including Boyce's addition. Central
Park addition. eighty acres on the west

dition. found a deed from William
