into an Office on Thirteenth street yes
terday and, after writing a couple of

John Elwood. Mrs. Waller, who lives
some three miles away, filed on this
land some time ago, and Mr.. Goodfel- !
low claims that the entry was altered

intention, he says, to have home
steaded 100 acres, of which the 19-acre
tract mentioned is u part, so soon as the
reservation there was thrown open for
settlement. In the meantime, the land
was leased by Mrs. Waller to Mr.. Wad-
