sixteen, IN townships thirty-two. thirty
three and thirtv-four of Boyd county.
Ordinarily sections sixteen and thirty
six of every township OF government
land, before beieg opened TO settle

and il has been 60 regarded by
people generally In opening Boyd

tions have been made 10 file on the
above sections. nnow transpires that
there are no provisions made reserving
these sections for scheol lands in open

Sioux City discovered the fault remains
a mystery. Thirty filings made on as

vatlon. The skeleton was apparently
that OF an Italian about 80 years of
