It is curious fact that this was the

some of the ladies still resident at
Hillsboro have gone through thrilling

DECIDE FINE LAND POINT
Unusual Contest Settled by Kingfisher
Land Officials.

Guthrie, o. T., Dec. "A fine point In
land contests was decided by the register
and receiver of the Kinghsher land office

case of James NJ. Gooden vs.. Robert Z.

was the original entryman and Little had
purchased the Improvements and secured

land. Prior to the pcrcnase Of the I'M

that of a homesteader who makes entry

settler in this case was on the land with

land as a tenant or By permission Of the
entryman. another rule would have ap-
piled. and before he could have claimed
any settlement or other rights in himself
he would have been required TO clear the
record OF the existing entry In other

TO contend that there would be.
There is. therefore. no reason what

the only basis for the assertion that tax
alton would be increased in any degree Is
that the territory would lose the little
government appropriation which pays the
salaries OF a part OF the federal officials
and small fraction Of the legislative
expenses. That appropriation averages
trifie over $4,000 per anuum. and Is only
one-fourteenth of one per cent on th'
