DULUTH, Mimi, Jan. 14.-A fierce
scrimmage, in which blood was drawn,
marked the opening of township 156,
range 20, Ttasca county, at the local
land office this morning.
Certain persons in the line of twen-
ty-four, who had held their places
throughout the night to insure early
choice of lands to be opened to settle
ment, disputed the right of Henry
Stechman, Ten Strike hotel keeper, to
second place in the line. and when the
door of the office opened attempted to
keep him from entering. He was push
ed from the line.
He objected to such proceedings and
a free -for-all fight, in which the clothes
were partially torn from his body, fol-
lowed. Five men engaged in battle
with Stechrnan, but in spite of their
efforts, he was fourth to enter the
land office and make entry. He filed
under the timber and stone act on the
E. u of the w. u of section 15, but his
application was rejected, for the reason
that he did not have his citizenship
papers with him.
Miss Sadie Mathews, Of Larimore, n.
D., was after this same piece of land
and she was later allowed to file on 1T
under the homestead law. Stechman
says that he will start contest suit,
but it is claimed that he has little
chance of wrestling the land from Miss
Mathews.
