i TON HIDE lURClDLY EJECrED.
Tom Hyde, who for years has
lived on section 80, has at last
been elected and the Minnesota
Iron company now holds sway.
Hyde for years has tried to es;
tablish his right to hold the land
and many thousands Of dollars
have been spent in the litigation
that has been carried on.
Sheriff Wilson of Lake county
one day last week went to Hyde's
place to eject the old man but
Hyde was not at home and the
sheriff was not sure whether' he
had q right to break in the door
or not, so he came to Duluth to
consult Draper. Davis 4 Hollis,
ter. He was advised that he
had the right to break in the
door if he wanted to and he re.
turned to Hyde's cabin and fore
ed an entrance. The old mans
goods were moved from the
cabin to another shack near by.
. For many years Hyde, it is
said, has kept guns loaded for
anybody that should attempt to
put him off his claim out he was
caught mapping, and probably
does not know yet that he has
been elected from his home.
