LAND CASE DECIDED.
Claimant Who Had Not Complied
With the Law is Upheld.

|
Grand Forks, y. D.-'Fhe officials of
the Grand Forks land office have re-
Gently rendered Il decision in Il case of
mere than usual Importance. involving,
as it does Il question which has hereto
fore not been passed upon by any au-
| thority. According to the testimony
given. Torbjorn Alison settled upon a
quarter section of land in Cavalier
county about six years ago. having pur-
chased Il REIMBURSEMENT from Thor Lu
ten. who had made the original entry.
Alison is very illiterate. understands
little or no English and knows nothing
III the procedure Of American courts,
or of the manner in which the business
IF the land office is conducted. He sup
posed that the REIMBURSEMENT from Lu-
ten was all that he required to hold the
land. and understood his friends to say
that he could present the relinquish
ment, make his filing and prove up all
at the same time. Possessed of this
idea. he has since occupied the farm
making improvements Of various kinds
and acting in every respect as bona
ide settler. CLAUS Anderson. a neigh
Dor, learning Of the condition in which
the property was, and that Luten'S ell
try stood uncancelled, filed a contest.
and Luten not appearing. the original
entry was cancelled, and Anderson
filed on the homestead May 90 1897.
He also established residence on the
land and has since resided there.
Technically. there can be no doubt
that Anderson was entitled to the
property. as there is not 4 scrap of pa
per on file anywhere to show that Ali
son had any title or ever intended to
acquire any title to it. 1t is not denied,
however. that Alison supposed he was
faithfully complying With all the re-
luirements of the law. and so much in
terest was taken in the matter by resi-
dents Of that vicinity that several town
meetings We're held for the purpose. Of
levising a plan whereby the matter
might be settled without recourse to
the courts. This was found impossi-
ole, and Alison began proceedings to
nave Andersons filings cancelled and
| himself granted permission to file on
the quarter. The case was heard in
the land office here before Register
Kent and Receiver Lindstrom, and it
was held that, while AnderSon's entry
appeared on it's face to be perfectly
regular and entitled to recognition, the
evidence showed that Alison had acted
| in good faith; that Anderson understood
the conditions and had sought, by !:
legal technicality. to obtain for himself
without cost. the result of his neigh
boris labor. The end Of the case is not
| yet, for it is understood that it will be
appealed

North DakOtnnS Returning.

Fargo, n. D.-The arrival of Bert
Grafton and Bert Brown. of Company
|B, North Dakota volunteers. in San
Francisco. was a surprise to some of
their friends here. Both have been ill
In the Philippines. but it was not sup
posed their condition was serious. They
will remain in the hospital at San
Francisco for some time. Grafton was
formerly captain of Company B, but
had resigned prior to the outbreak Of
the war; He r,-enlisted as 4 private,
and was promoted to corporal, ana
later was made sergeant-major of the
'egiment. He was employed in the post
office here. and will probably be per-
mitted to resume his old job.
Now that there seems some probable
ity of the return Of the North Dakota
volunteers from the Philippines, the
question CT where they will be mus
tered out is again being discussed.
Several towns are after it. including
Fargo. and the national representa-
tives are supposed to be in favor of
this CITY, While the occasion would be
a big thing for the city and be the
Geans of bringing thousands of people
acre to welcome the return Of the brave
boys. there are many people who would
out ut San Francisco. In this manner
they would secure from $50 to 5000
extra expense money to pay their way
home. and most of them need it. 1t
would seem unfair to prevent them
from getting this just to make Il dress
parade at home for one day.

points the commission will probably
recommend Il uniform government for

government, cooperating with the mill
