Lumpkin. HAs soon as the land
| was sold to settlers the line was

the map shows the present path

But why were not these op-
erations exposed and investigat-
edW I&sked.
h .4They were exposed" said
Coiens}. Ealnpkin, But that was
before exposures had become a
popular form of literature. The
/ fpeon9 accepted gift horses in
those days without examining
their teeth. The matter did come
up in Congress, but it caromed
against the Senator from Winnie
bago. And kissed off. Senator
Ferret asked unanimous consent
to investigate certain alleged ir-
regularities in connection with
land-grants. Senator Shark inn
mediately rose 10 his feet and ex-
claimed: Mr.. President The
Senator from Winnebago,' said
the presiding officer. Mr. Presi-
dent, exclaimed Senator Shark.
I object l give this speech in
full" continued Colonel Lump
kin because it is Senator Sharks
longest forensic effort. Later,
on the personal appeal of his col
league, Senator Shark consented
to have the matter referred to
the Committee on Senatorial
Courtesy, and there the incident

larity with The people"' ask
ed.
Because he was a good fell
