Mr.. A. NJ. Peck, of Provo bench, yester-
day commenced suit against j. E. Jen-
nings, of Salt LAX and G. e. Loose, of
Provo, for the recovery of a certain
amount of school land situated on Provo
bench, about five miles north of this city.
This land was disposed of by the board of
commissioners, appointed under the act
of the legislature of 1892. About this
land there has been considerable contro-
versy recently in the newspapers of the
territory, many of the old citizens claim
ing that they had been in the possession
of this land for several years and
therefore, under the act of 1892,
had prior rights to the said land
but on certain affidavits being filed, the
commi ssioners granted the land to other
parties This suit will undou btedly be
closely contested, for if it is decided for
the Plaintiff it will undoubtedly be taken
as a precedent in several other cases which
are sure to be entered.
The untiring efforts of our delegate,
Hon. j. L. Rawlins, in behalf of Utah

confidence. Those who opposed and
misrepresente6 him are not now worrying
about Utah's interests not being pro-
tected and cared for by him. "Our Joe''
is making a good second. and the party
and the people at large appreciate his
eRdeayors.

This has been a great week for the
young and mighty nimrc5s. The duck
law expired on the goth, and with it went
out the lives Of many poor wild but in
offensive ducks. For several hours every
morning since, the roar of musketry al

ing bombarded. The market is now we'll
supplied with the webfooted quackers.
Statehood, a equal representation with
the other commemorative composing this
