Carr Loses Land

After struggle of a quarter of
century. Jesse D. Carr will have to re-
linquish the possession of 84,335 acres
of public lands in northern California
and southern Oregon. The Unietd'
States Circuit Court of Appeals at
San Francisco has affirmed the judg-
ment of the Circuit Court of Oregon
In favor of the government. Back in
the seventies Carr had purchased
long strips of forty acre tracts, ex-
tending for forty or fifty miles in one
direction. Then he would buy strips
of orty or eight acre claims. inclos-
ing an immense square of grazing
land to the center of which he had no
title what evr. Around the strips
Carr put up his famous fence and
kept it there until it was pulled down
by the United States Marshall of Ore
gon.
Fer many years there have been
fights near Cars fence between his
followers and outsiders and blood has
often been spilled. Settlers were drl-
ven off if they dared come near the
immense tract that Carr claimed. LIE
gal actions were first begun against
him in the courts of this State, but
Carr continued in possession OF the
land. During the second adminlstra
ton of Cleveland a special inspector
of the land department made an inves
tigation of Cars holdings and repOr
ted that wide areas of the public
lands were inclosed. Carr went tt
Washington in 1888 and all proceed
ings against him were dropped. La
