Hearings Ordered In tho Abner shriver
H0mstesd Case In Section 5.
OLYMPIA, May 23-iSpeciai. ]-Instruc-
tons have just been received at the land
Office directing immediate hearings in
land cases in which valuable real estate in
Tacoma is concerned. Forty acres in Sec
ton 5. three-quarters of q mile from the
depot at Tacoma, is claimed by home
steader named Abner Shriver who settled
on il in 1855 and holds it under the Borden
decision of the supreme court Of the
United States.
Last September Shriver made home
stead application for this tract Of land
John Y. Ostrander, at Seattle. last Septem.
Der offered Porterfieid scrip for the same
tract, and his partner, J. W. Gregory. o.
fered Valentine scrip for it. Fred CleaveS
also put in a homestead application for it.
All these applieAlions were rejected and APP
pealed to the general land office. On No
vember - last the Tacoma Land Company,
who purchased this tract Of land from the
railroad company in 1874, made an appli-
cation to purchase it with other land un-
der special act of congress OF March 3,
1887.
The contest is apparently between
and the railroad company. the local land
office has received instructions from the
commissioner to allow the land company
to give notice Of intention to perfect title.
with actual notice to the railroad company
and adverse applications.
The same order also directs hearings in
the cases of several other claimants To land
i'm the corporate limits Of Tacoma. One of
them is J. j. S.urgis, Of Seattle. who last
September applied to locate Porterfield
scrip amounting to $4,000 upon eighty
acres in section I. about q mile from the
tract above referred to. and valued at
$1,000 an acre. Henry W. Augustine. of
Spokane, located two pieces of Porterfield
scrip on section Z. For these tracts in Sec
ton T. and l6o acres more. John Ostrander
and J. W. Gregory submitted homestead
applications, rs also did John A. Rea, Of
Olympia. for a tract near Wapa 10 Lake
park The Tacoma Land Company de-
MES the railroad company's title TO these
lands on the same grounds that the home
stead and scrip applicants do. The COM
mlssioner's letter directs that the scrip
rendered by S,urgis and Augustine be re-
turned. fot when an application is denied
the fees or purchase money must be re-
turned and the fact of tender made part of
