Annual Musical Event Of the West That
Attracts Thousands.
Because of i is surroundings, and
uplifting by it's earnest methods. and
teaching, the Easter performance of
The Messiah by the Swedish colony
at Lindsborg, in central Kansas, is
each spring one of the interesting
events of the west" writes Charles M.
Harger in the Ladies' Home Journal.
"a musical festival that, out on the
comparatively sparsely settled prairies,
can bring together 10000 people dur
ing holy week, many of them coming
200 miles, must be excellent indeed.
The growth of the audiences in this
instance, year after year, indicates a
thorough appreciation of a worthy
rendering of Handlers great oratorio.
The Swedes are a singing people, and
the religious sentiment is strong in
their hearts. The one cherished day
for this colony of perhaps 5000 fami-
lies is Easter, and the chief glory there
of is The Messiah Four hundred
men and maidens participate in these
renditions. The orchestra numbers so
pieces, and is supplemented by a three
manual pipe organ. The leaders, di-
rectors and soloists are all members
of the Lindsborg community, and
teachers in the college there"

NEW TURN IN GIG LAND CASE,
Important Ruling in Contest for
Chamberlain pronertv.

8Vk0kOye
The struggle for possession Of nearly 100
acres OF valuable land situated within the
incorporated limits of the city of Cham
berlain has taken an unexpected turn.
The claimants of the land are Henry j.
King, who made a homestead entry on the
tract, and a number Of town siters, who
claim the land under the federal town site
laws. The fight has been waged before
every department OF the general land office
and interior department in Washington,
with the result that a patent to the land
was issued by the commissioner of the
general land Office to MI. King.
Steps were then taken to secure the
ejectment of the town site claimants from
tile land. The original efforts were unsuc-
cessful, but some time ago Mr.. King sold
the greater portion of the land-that occu-
pied by the town site c~laimants-to his
son, George H. King of Niobrara, Ncb.
Recently the latter commenced ejectment
proceedings in the United States court at
Sioux Falls against he town site claim
ants, and as lie WAS a resident of Nebraska,
Judge Garland ruled that his court had
jurisdiction in the case. AS the result of u
hearing Judge Garland decided in favor of
the town site claimants. The patent is
sued to Henry j. King by the interior de-
partment was offered in evidence in behalf
OF the plaintiff, but this was virtually de-
cided to be void.
A motion for u new trial was then made,
and this has just been decided by Judge
Garland, who has rendered one of the most
important decisions involving public lands
which has ever been issued by a federal
in the public land states. In his de-
cision he says:
~ cannot conclude otherwise than that
the land in question, prior to the entry of
King, which resulted in the patent offered
IN evidence, was lawfully appropriated
within the meaning of the homestead laws,
and that therefore no homestead entry
could be made thereon, and this all APP
pears 10 the court from documents OF
which the court is bound to take judicial
notice. therefore am Of the opinion that
the patent was rigltfully excluded, and
that the motion for q new trial should be
