In August Nashern filed motion for a

shown TO be qualified the office was in
structed to order a hearing and determine
the rights of the parties in interest. At
this time Greist's rejected homestead ap-

At the hearing. February 4. 1892 the
local Off ers conducted the case If 1t
were a contest of Nashern against Greist,

Greist appealed from this decision, and
February n. 1895. the general land office
awarded the disputed tract TO him. Nash
