NEW COMPLICATION

A new complication has arisen with re-
gard to the Gibson land certificates which
demonstrates that the governor has acted
wisely in refusing to sign patents TO lands

the Blum Land company, which is seeking
recognition of the 2i6 certificates validated
by the Twenty sixth district court. have
turned up and called upon the governor to
suspend action in the matter, and furthcr
litigation may be expected. These eeriin-
