The Interior Department has just
passed on . case in which . peculiar
fraud 10 being pfacticed. Some time aso
. resident Of Tennessee wrote to the Al
orney-Genefal stating that last May he
cav an advertisement in Chicago paper
Offering for ale 100 acres Of land in Gov
ernos county. Kan. The real-estate
agent lived 1t Lathrop, No., and through
him the land was purchased BY the man
from Tennessee. Il was then found that
the government owned the land, although
the LAthrop agent had furnished com.
plete deed and abstract Of title. since
then the same land has been advertised
BY the same agent It 10 keld BY the
Interior that, - the riahts Of the gov
ernment are in no way affected, there is
nothing for the department to do in the
premises. Il 10 suggested, however, that
the attention 81 the proper authorities
be called to the fraud with Q view Of
eaving innocent parties Who do not take
the trouble TO make thorough investi-
CATION Of land titles.
ALL THE LOTS ARE SOLD.
The Interior Department has been no
titled that ell the lots in the townsite Of
woodward, O. T., have been disposed Of,
and the Commissioner Of the general land
ONCE has ordered the board for the town
discontinued. Some questions arose -
10 whether the sales OF the last Register
and Receiver Of the land district, in
which woodward was situated, would Be
approved. The Commissioners says that,
II the oficen insist upon their purchases,
the deeds Of lots will be delivered to
them, but the practice 10 most emphat-
ically discouraged. A strict order has
been granted against the purchase Of
lots by boards appointed TO make sales,
and when such purchases have been made
the deeds are ordered cancelled and the
lots resold.
