During the past week the DEMOCRATS
attention has been directed to a number
of important decisions handed down by
The land Office in which holders of public
lands in Cavalier county are the inter-
ested parties. In the contest case of
Matthew Snider VS.. Jos. Webster, the
land Office decided in favor of Sn1der,
represented by Truax & Mclean. At
the local hearing, held somo mouth ago
many interesting points were brought out,
among others being motion made by
the defense for continuance of the
hearing of the contest, lasting several
months. This motion was opposed on
the grounds that sufficient reason was
not shown for such continuance at the
eleventh hour. Further the defense re-
fused to be examined as to the truth of
| his affidavit, offered as testimony.
Similar points, had not previously been
introduced in local hearings, SO the action
of the land office in sustaining the case
of Snider is of more than usual import
The contest of Samuel Lewis against
James Coggins. another case in which
Truax & Mclean appeared for plaintiff
has been decided in their favor. In this
case Mr.. Coggins was attempting to hold
homeste., I'd while at the same time his
wife was making residence on an entry
in her maiden name. This was held by
the land Office to be in rect violation of
the homestead entry law. A other case
is that in which james Manley made
application for an additional homestead
entry, he having formerly filed on less
than quarter section. His application
was rejected by the local land Office at
Grand Forks and the general land Office
at Washington affirmed the same. The
Secretary of the Interior, however, ruled
SO as to allow additional homestead
emit to be made under Sec No. 6, of the
Act passed March 2, 1889, which enables
person whose original entry had been
made prior or subsequent to the passage
of the act Under the old rules. ana the
one under which the Marley application
was rejected, additional entries could
be made by those whose original entry
had been made prior to the passage of
the act The decision of the depart ment
at Washington III this case makes public
to holders of less than 160 acres some
thing that up to the present has not been
very clearly understood.
