st. Paul yesterday by several of his
political friends from North Dakata,
and Joseph A. Roach, who headed the
delegation that was seated by the con-
vention with number of his political
supporters. was also at the St. Paul

together.
Major Murphy did not deny that he

down peacefully. but will carry our
fight into the next state convention and

The decision of the Buford townsite
matter, made by the U. s. Land Office,
has been received by A. A. AustilI,
judge of the county court here. and the
text of the decision is as follows:
We are Therefore, of the opinion that
the only part of the townsite that is
actually occupied for town purposes is
the nw4 sw} of Section 10. and the ne4
set of Section g, Township 152 NJ,
Range l04 w., 5th P. NJ; that there are
less than one hundred actual bona fide
inhabitants on the whole 800 acres
applied for, and that therefore the
townsite should be restricted to the
land actually occupied for town pur.
poses. by legal subdivision; that John
Mercer, ST.. one Of the professionals to
to the final proof, is entitled to the neA
Of Section Is, Township l52 w., Range
104 W., 5th P. NJ, by reason of his
residence, cultivation and occupancy of
the tract prior to the survey and prior
to any claim by the Buford townsite.
We would therefore recommend that
the Buford townsite be restricted to the
nwf sw@ of Section 10. snd the ne4 set
of Section 8, Township f52 NJ, Range
104 w., 9Th P, NJ, and that the home
stead applications of John Mercer. ST.,
for the net Of Section Is. and Sarah D..
Mercer for the vi Ge4, and the set sell
of Section 9. Township 1852 N, Range
104 w., 5th P. NJ, be allowed.
From the above it will be seen that
John Mercer Sr., has won out in bis
contention against the "grabbers," and
gets bis homestead as he originally
planned for.
