from Texas and filed on claim in Pot
tawatonie county Before leaving Texas
he called upon lawyers TO make inqt Tries
reg arding his eligibility to take govern
ment land. he having been born in Ger
many, removing to this country when
he was two years old. He was unable
to tell whether his father had Ratura l.
zation papers, as he died shortly after
arriving in America His mother rema n
ed an American citizen. The lawyers de-
cided that II would be better for him
to take out papers. He did so at once,
but took them out before g justice of
the peace. They passed through the Land
office without objection, and nothing
wrong was discovered in his papers until
GMr. Hiln1an went before Judge Burwell
to take out final papers. Judge Burwell
pronounced the first papers worthless.

ened out satisfactorily, as there was no
intent 70 defraud, but the question of
how the matter will be Strengthened out
will be an interesting one.
