Lofdsburk Bakery,
There is liable to be a war on the
ella between the Lyons s. Campbell
cattle company on q side and the
farmers on the other. 1t seems that
many years ago the company secured
title 70 q large amount OF land on the
river. by buying out the men who~had
homesteaded or pre-empted the land
from the government. The company
did not get all Of the good farming
land on the river, and during recent
years men have gone in there and
homekteaded land and made farms on
II. The land Is so rich on the bottoms
that a good farmer is satisfied to take
up forty acres by demonstrating 1t II
ten acres is river bottom and the re-
mainder hills and Impossible Of cult
walton. Most Of these men had sur
veyOrs to locate the corners VI their
land and built their fences according.
". Recently Thomas Lyons went
down on the river with Surveyor Reed
to locate the land belonging TO his
company, and has had Reed running
lines all over the country. He has
claimed that hardly one OF the farm
ers is on his own land, and most oI
them are partly on land owned by the
company. He has ordered all these
men off the company land, threatened
IN make them pay him rent for the
time they have used the land, pro
hibited them turning water into The
