Monday the plat for township 1853,

sequence about 100 filings we're
made on hat date. This tract of
land is a portion of what was for
merly the Turtle Mountain Indian
Reservation and while the soil is
rich, the timber growing on the
land is quite valuable. People
have been squatting on this land
for years and of course these
squatters have 400 days preference
right over other persons to file on
the land. There will undoubtedly
be a number of contests made by
persons whose rights conflict with
the squatters.
