Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1905-06-26

"Joggers for the Memorx."-The
Emmons County Record contains the
following: Frequently the writer is
shown letter received by some one
from the Bismarck land office that the
recipient does not understand. This
is a notification from the register of
the Office in regard to the final proof
of the person receiving the letter. The
law requires that shortly before the
five years of an entryman expires he
shall be notified that he can make
proof at the end of five years. Then,
should the claimant decide that he
will not make proof at the end Of five
years, short time before the end of
seven years from the date of his filing
he will receive letter from the Bis
marck Office to the effect that he must
prove up at the end of the seven year
period or he will lose his rights in
the homestead. In other words the
first letter means that he may prove
up at the end Of five years, while the
second letter means that he must
prove up at the end of seven years.
That is all there is to such letters
They are simply joggers for the mem
ory of the claimant. But, when you
receive the seven-year letter, you had
better get busy about starting your
final proof, if you haven't already done
so.

Final Proof-EquitabIe Action-con.
test-If a satisfactory showing be
made by claimant, within the time
limit, in response to a notice to show
cause why his entry should not be

defeated by the initiation of a con-
test against the entry subsequently
to such notice.
In case an entryman. fails to COM
ply with the law prior to the expira-
ton of the time limited in the notice
to show cause why his entry should
not be cancelled for failure to submit
proof within the statutory period proof
of subsequent compliance with the
law, in the face of a contest, although
such contest was improperly allowed
subsequently to the notice to show
cause and prior to expiration of the
time therein limited, will not entitle
the entryman to have his proof SUBJ
mitted to the board of equitable ad-
Indication with a view to confrma-
ton of the entry.
The government may avail itself of,
acquisce in, or adopt the proceedings
initiated, and the proofs furnished by
an individual in protest of final proof,
or in contest of an entry. Secretary

Was Finally Shot

Terror of the Neighborhood of Detroit
Was Finally Shot.
What appears to be a case of just
liable homicide occurred at Detroit,
Ore, when logger named Fldler shot
and killed ID. Hedges, known all over
that part of the country as 'bad
man" and bully. Hedges had been
drinking and when he returned to the
camp began abusing the men. The
boss appeared and be gave him fear
ful threshing Hedges next went Into
the kitchen where Mrs. Fidler was
cooking, and attacked her. She fought
as best she could and he fired two
shots at her. Her husband was in the
next room and came out with Win
chester rife Hedges Immediately
began begging for bis life, and Fidler
relented and told him to 60. AS be
started Hedges tried to shoot Fidler,
but Fidler got the drop on him and
shot him through the head.
Hedges is bully, and as he was
powerful man was usually enabled to
intimidate his opponents. It is thought
nothing will be done to Fidler as the
hole'neighborhood is glad he killed
the "bad man.

CONTEST FOR LAND
MANY LAND CASES FILED AT
wALLA WALLA.
As Great Number as Homestead and
Timber Entries Combined.
Most are Exparte.

Ten contest cases were filed in the
Walla Walla land Office yesterday.
says the Union, which makes a total
number of cases now pending in the
neighborhood of 150.
There are as many if not more con-
tests being filed than original home~
stead entries com bined, which can be
accounted for by the fact that all of
the best land in the district has been
filed upon in former years, and those
who are at present in search OF land
are searching out the records and
watching those who have not yet
proved up, or having proved up were
delinquent in their compliance with
the law, in an effort to get good
piece of land. "A large part Of the
contests are exparte, from the mere
fact that the contestee realizes that
he has not complied with the law and
can see no reason for making fight.
The recent activity in railroad
building circles has caused good
sized rush into the heretofore unde-
veloped parts Of the state of Washing
ton, each person having an eye TO
securing piece of land.
Attempts were made and in many
cases apparent title has been secured
to large sections Of land by persons
who have made no effort to comply
with the requirements of the home
stead law. 1t is these tracts OF land
that the latter day settler is looking
up through contests in the land office

JUDGMENT FOR $3.50.

: Judge Lyon gave judgment for 81. 90,
without costs, in a suit in the district
court Yesterday afternoon for a quarter
of beef sold by Meyer Gerber to Mrs.
John Novak last December.
Gerber sold the beef, which weighed
ninety-six pounds, for $7.2o. Mrs.
Novak bought it to keep during the
winter, using it piece meal.
After she had used a few pounds OF
the quarter she noticed that the at
mosphere of the cellar, where the beet
was being kept, was taking on a dis
agreeable odor. She became convinced
that the beef had been slightly bad
when she had bought it. When Ger
Der called for his money, Mrs. Novak
put her foot down and refused to pay
81. 20 for bad beef. She offered him
81. 90, as she had used that much, pro
po~rtionately.
Gerber refused to take the small
amount. The meat was buried, by
Mrs. Novak, so as TO obliterate the
smell,
Gerber then brought suit for S7.2O,
the full amount.
When the case was heard yesterday
afternoon, Mrs. Novak and Gerber
were the only witnesses. Neither was
represented by counsel.
