GOOD FOR PROMINENT ;
But a Losing Business for the Fellows
Who Pay the Freight

ARKANSAS CITY, Kan, Aug. 25.-There
is a movement here among old soldiers to
make test case Of their right to declare
their intention of settling on any specified
quarter in the strip and take advantage
of sections 2.3O4 and 2,305, revised statutes
of the United States and tie Oklahoma
law to protect them. The statutes say
that a soldier may locate his homestead
and have six months to file his declaratory
statement, make his entry, and commence
improvements. The Oklahoma law which
applies in the case declares that his rights
shall not be abridged by any other law or
proclamation.
If this holds good any old soldier may
go to the lane office as soon as open and
make declaration o. may do so by mail
and without making the run contest the
right of any settler who may settle on
the quarter he has previously picked out.
Major o. NJ. Wilson, a prominent attor.
ney, and some of his old soldier friends are
going to test it and other Grand Army
men will be urged to do the same This
will cause a great many contests and re.
