from the county board of Clear

plished substantially nothing.
The matter was quite exhaus-
lively discussed and figures were
struck, but no agreement in the
matter satisfactory as an equit-
able adjustment to all could be
reached. The Clearwater com
missioners showed a disposition
to take the matter into court and
both boards are naturally anxious
to make as satisfactory an ar
rangement for their respective
counties as possible.
The matter will be allowed to
rest for the present until the
board of Clearwater county has
another meeting and the commit
tee of commissioners from Clear
water county returned home last
night without having accom-
plished anything in either di-
rection.

Michigan Woman Claims
Land Which is in Name of
Walker & Akeley.
RECEIVEDPATENT FROM INTER.
IOR DEPARTMENT YEAR AGO.
Books at Register of Deeds Show
Transferby PoWerof Attorney
Which Woman Denies.

( Mrs. Anna p. Ferguson, OF
Ithaca, Mich, through her agent,
j. r. Munson, will contest the
title to eighty acres Of valua bic
land in the township of Bemidji,
which the records at the register
of deeds office at present show to
be the holdings Of Walker &
Akeley.
Mrs. Ferguson is a widow,
whose husband. has been dead
for several years. He home
steaded a piece of land, eighty
acres in all, in Osceola county,
Michigan, and duly made proof
on it and secured title. He was
then notified that he was entitled
to eighty acres more and plats of
the eighty acres in this section
were sent to him from the in
terror department. Ferguson
duly made filing and a year ago,
after his death, his wife received
his patent papers. J. r. Mum
son is her agert by power of at
torney and was looking up the
title at the courthouse this morn
ing.
The land as shown by the
records at the register of deeds
office is now held under the
proper deed and transfer instru-
ments executed according to the
records by Thomas Dalzell and
Emme b. Ferguson to T. b.
Walker. The firm Of Walker &
Akeley have been paying taxes on
it for the past five years and
have cut the greater part of the
pine.
Mr.. Munson contends that the
title is fraudulent. He says that
Mrs. Ferguson, who is an aged
lady. has been approached on five
separate occasions by agents who
wished her to sign papers for a
consideration. She always with
held her signature, however.
The patent of the interior depart
ment is properly executed and
will hold above all instruments
executed later, but Mrs. F'ergu-
son will have to prove that they
we're executed without her
knowledge and consent.
Munson says the case is one of
pure fraud where a land shark
has taken advantage of the
woman S ignorance and has sue
ceeded in victimizing both her
and the company to which the
land is sold. He will Immediately
go about the matter of having the
land restored to his client.

elsewhere in this issue, declares
that he has never done business
with more straightforward bust
ness like officials than the Bel

commissioners. 81 wish you
would tell the people, SAID Mr..
Munson, "that Beltrami county
certainly succeeded in getting
the right men in the right place
when it elected it's county board. =
Mr.. Munson was also much
pleased with the treatment ac
corded him by all the county
officers.
