Guy II. Wilbur, attorney, of Wayne
was here today accommodating document
title to 10000 acres of land in Dixon,
Wayne, Stanton and Pierce counties,
The original records in the case have dis
appeared from the. county clerk office
at Ponca and to clear up the title to the
lands, it is necessary to furnish proof
of publication on legal notices published
| in the Ponca' Journal during 1883. Such
proof could not have been furnished had
not the newspaper files been available,
and though it was found necessary to
send to Oregon for such files, they were
obtained and will be introduced as evil
dence in the case. This is one of the
cases proving the value Of newspaper
| files and keeping them in condi ton 30
that they may be available if needed
The entire title to these lands rests on
the evidence furnished by those old
newspaper files of twenty years ago.
