A Homestead War.

The homesteaders out on some of the
M. l.. s. I. lands are maintaining an
"armed neutrality" ut present, and n
rupture of peaceful relations may occur
at any time. The cause of this state OF
affairs seems to be an attempt by the
hester estate to cut the pine timber
from their homesteads.
The lands in dispute are that portion
of the forfeited railroad grant which
was Ell roneously certified tc the III. H. &
o. railroad company, and by that COM
pany to the Michigan Land & Iron Co.
The Ncsters purchased the timber from
the latter company and hence claim
ownership.
Upon the forfeiture of this grant it
was found that about $4,000 acres OF
the forfeited land had beed sold as a.
bove stated, but Notwithstanding this
fact settlers filed applications for home
steads, commenced their improvements
and have lived thereon for the past two
or three years.
Upon the adjustment of the grant by
the general land office the commissioner
[, decided in favor OF the settlers upon oil
lands beyond the trrminal line, but not

withstanding this fac. the purchaser o
the timber attempted to cut aud wer
enjoined from SO doing by the U. 5.
courts until the cases were finally de-
cided.
Upon representations to the court
that much Of the timber had been de-
stroyed by fire last spring and would
become practically valueless unless cut
this winter, the Nesters obtained a
modification Of injunction so as to allow
them to cat the timber upon giving
an approved bond in double the
amount OF its appraised value.
And this latter order OF the court is
what is causing the trontle. The set
tiers naturally dislike to see their tim
Der disappearing without their consent.
They also claim that permission was
obtained by false representations; that
afiidavits were drawn up by interested
parties and signed by employees OF the
Nesters without their having an &C
curate understanding of the legal ef-
feet of the language sworn to.
The Nesters have eStabl ished their
camps and commenced cutting on so me

timber on the homestead OF widow

Contractor Sykes has decided to put
in from 500 to 600 feet more OF iron
pipe and to relay nearly, if not quite,
all the balance OF the stone pipe, as it
was found to be leaking badly. This
will delay the completion of the work
two or three weeks longer, and il cold
weather sets in Immediately it may be
impossible to finish this year. He has
now two experts at laying this kind of
pipe ut work who will continue as long
as the weather permits or until the
job is completed. Our experience
with stone pipe has been rather
unsatisfactory to the village and ex-
pension to the contractor, but we trust
it will be oil right when properly laid.
Should weather prevent entire compile
ton this fall the contractor will leave
the plant in shape to supply the village
with water during the winter with very
little trouble.

J. K. Campbell is attending court in

Among attorneys who attended court
here Tuesday were j. I. McAllister, G.
F. Moore, Geo. K. Anderson, and Tur-

The old Folks Concert which we men
toned last week as being set for Tues

night of this week.
James W. Patterson, of Hillsboro,
Ohio, visited H. L. Garrett two or three
days last week. He was wonderfully
well pleased with Covington and sur
roundings.
Court day was quite a political day
here. Three speeches, one by repre-
sentative of each of the three political
parties, were made in and around the
Court House.
County Court opened here on Tuesday
last Most of the trial cases having
been set for Thursday, and the motions
having been disposed of, court took a
recess until Thursday.
The Clifton Minstrels appeared &C
cording to advertisement at the Opera
House here on last Friday night. The
performance was a highly creditable
one. The numerous hits made were
bright, the songs we'll selected, and well
sung, James Page, as a great man Ct

the Guitar playing by Heck and Lipor.
Mr.. Heck is an expert with that sweetest
of all instruments, playing several beau.
tiful selections, to which Mr.. Lipop
played good second. Mr.. Moore's
speech on Town Topics was out OF
sight. The people have not got done
talking about it yet. Probably the best
scene in the performance was the closing
part-The Levee scene. This was excep>
tionally good, particularly the singing
of Old Black Joe. Taken as whole, it
was far above the amateur minstrel per
formance. some parts of it crowding
close on the professional.
