In their decision the Duluth Off
Gals state that the contestant did not
prove his case by q fair preponderance
of evidence. Continuing the decision
states: sit is certain Trucott never
intended to abandon the land. He
had been absent from the claim it is
true but lie always returned and the
evidence shows proof Of his strong in
tention to make 1t his home. In re-
spect to the performance of his inten-
ton the entryman has been on the
land most of the time since his en-
try. When away following his occu-
patton as IA woodsman. at the conclu-
sion of his work on the several jobs we
find him making his way back to the
claim. We think he erected a sub
stantial house and there was sufficient
cultivation. For the above reasons
we recommend dismissal of the
contest"

Contest Decisions,

In two contest decisions rendered
last week by the register and receiver
of the Duluth land Office precedents
are established in defining what con.
stitutes service of notice of contest
and the qualifications of residence and
intention Of making homes on govern.
ment land.
. In the first case Charles Peterson
on April %, 1903, filed affidayit of con.
test involving homestead entry on
the northwest quarter of section 9-53.
10 made by Alfred Johnson. In their
decision regarding service of notice,
the local officials say:
Contest notice was served by de-
livering a copy of the same to tue wife
Of the entryman. Such is not an act
OF service in the case of serving of no.
tIce in contest case. Service of no
tice must be made personally and
there is no provision for leaving of
copy OF such notice with the wife of
the contestant. Service must be either
personal or by proper publication"
Peterson alleged non-residence un-
der the usual allegation bnt the local
decision states that the testimony
shows that Johnson was establishing
residence when the contest was be-
gum" SIN order to affect a settle
ment under the homestead law" the
decision recites, "there must concur
with the act of settlement on the
part of the entryman the intention to
make the land his home, that is his
domicile and abiding place. Itappears
that the entryman was man of small
means, who worked at his trade as a
carpenter. He built substantial re-
sidence and lived on the land about a
week. lie frequently made trips to
his claim and had furnished the house
In homely but substantial manner.
His actions we believe. were sufficient
in establishing residence and recon-.
mend the contest be dismissed.
