Remarkable Fortune of a

RICH CLAIM UNCLAIMED
For Six YearS-but the Right
Man Gets 1t at Last.
RICH CLAIM UNCLAIMED

Guthrie, o. T., April IA remarkable
case Of an unclaimed claim in Grant
county has come to light. A claim lay
for six years in a thickly settled section
unclaimed. so far as the records were
concerned, and although the farm was a
valuable one, all searches in land office
records failed to find it At the Strip
opening in 1893 Mr.. c. C. Hern took up his
residence on the southwest quarter Of
1921. eleven miles below the city of
Manchester. The claim is located on
what is known as Crooked creek and is a
valuable tract of land. Mr. Hern made
application before an attorney at Enid to
file on it and paid him SIS. The attorney
sent the money to the Enid land office
by registered mail, along with the appli-
cation to file. The land office never re-
ceived either money or application Con-
Guiding the incident the Manchester
Journal says: Mr. Hern never received
fling receipt, and arrived at the con-
clusiOn that all was straight excepting
that his fling receipt had been lost in
.he mails, and he gave the matter no
further thought until a short time ago,
ger six years later, when he began to
think about proving up. He mentioned
20 K. w Latin, United States commits
sioner that he had no fling receipt, and
Mr.. Latin wrote the land office for in
strEctions. He was informed that the
records Of that office showed that Mr..
Hern nor no other person had ever placed
filing on the land described. As soon
as this information came Mr.. Hern i'm
mediately went to Enid, where he secured
straight filing on his claim. after liv-
ing upon II for over six years He could
IND no trace whatever OF the SIS which
had been sent to the land office. and had
10 borrow money with which to file. It
seems strange that a valuable piece of
land like Mr.. Hern's should Law vacant
On the records for such length Of time
and stranger yet that Mr. Hern should
be able, after so long a time, 70 secure
a straight fling with so little trouble.
Attorneys who make a business Of look
ing ITO defects in filings have ran ,aAkeI
the records Of this land district hun
dreds of times in the last few years. and
II Is truly remarkable that none Of them
ever happened to discover that the
southwest of 29-2S-7 had laid vacant on
the records for six and a half years.
