passed through Warren Tuesday
morning on his way from the Red
Lake reservation, where he had gone
to take up land. He said there were
a few sections of good Cry land on
the other side OF the river, near Thief
River Falls, for which it was a terrific
scramble. On one quarter section
which Mr.. Nelson tried to obtain,
there were not less than eight who
made improvements, therefore he
thought it wise to abandon that par
ticular piece Within the reservation
in Marshall county according to his
opinion, there is a great deal OF good
land, much OF it low, of course, but
also some fairly high land, and when
that country dries up a little, Mr..
Nelson intends to go back and pick
out claim there. ~.
