FOR the most part the fights were fair
and no foul methods were employed cX-

hausted was given hard fight by rival
claimant who continually struggled TO get
ahead Jus, as il was almost time to open
the Office a heavy blow was landed on

The rush here To-Day broke all records
for a land office business anywhere in
