Those Old SURVEYS.

CarelesSnesS on the part of many of the
government surveyors who surveyed por-
IONS OF Dakota territory during early days
is causing endless strife and litigation to
determine the ownership of thousands of
acres OF valuable land. Many of these
surveys are misleading as to the bound
aries, and in every instance where new
Surveys have been ordered by county au-
thorities the old surveys have been found
to be wholly wrong. Persons who took
government land in accordance with the
OLD surveys refuse to permit the lines to be
changed to conform TO the new surveys,
for the reason that many of them would
lose quantities of land by the transaction.
Burke Township, Minnehaha County, has
for years been the scene of bitter strife in
tllS connection.
with the hope of adjusting the difficulty
a new survey was made. A majority of
the people of the township and the town
snip officers are in favor of the new sur
vey, but a number whose property is al
fected by the changes in the lines are
~Strenuously opposed to it, and a very bit
Ter lceling has been engendered between
Tic two factions. This feeling has caused
a number Of personal encounters. Unless
the people can come to some amicable
agreement in the matter serious trouble is
liable TO eiSlle.
