SALINE LAND CONTEST.
In the district court today Thomas F.
Barnes said that in October, 1889, he leased
100 acres OF saline land from the state, said
sN'' DNihb III hNdSA OulA fC ubltN
to let James Walsh, who was occupying the
land, continue to do SO one year longer. In
January, 1891, Walsh exhibited a lease for
the same land issued by John Steen, at that
time commissioner Of public lands and
buildings. Barnes had paid one years rent
to the state, yet Steen refused to accept
any more, owing to Walsh's lease. Barnes
says that the latter lease is void because
Stetn gave 1t without the sanction of the
board, OF which Steen was a member. Barnes
asks the district court to quiet the title tc
this saline land.

saloon at the request Of a visitor. She pait
30 cents for the beer and collected the sam
amount on her return from the visitor. TIL
question before the commissioner was, dit
the woman act as a dealer or merely a mes
senger. he decided that had she collected
the money first and with 1t bought the bee
she would have been %guiltless. As it wa
he held she was a dealer in spirituou
liquors and held her in bonds of 5000.
