CLAIMS CONTESTED
CLAIMED THAT UNDER. THE LAW
THE OLD FORT HERTHoLD
LANDS +
WERE SUBJECT ONLY TO HOME
sTEADs-soME WAS TAKEN
> 4.[<=, -,
, .s.r,e. '~%ON SChtFt.

Something of furore was OCCASION
ed in land circles at Minot when F. A.
Bowers. of ToWner and eleven others
filed contests for twelve quarter Sec
tons of land, which include townsites
where several hundred people reside.
Powers and the other eleven,
through Attorney M. H. Brennan of
Devils Lake, base the contest on the
ground that the interior department
enormously allowed entries other than
actual land entries, as. provided by
congress within the limits of the old
Fort Berthold Indian reservation.
Under the terms of the treaty with
the Indians ceding the lands the
statute provided as did the proclama-
ton of the president opening said
lands, that settlement only by actual
bona fide homestead entries was al
lowable.
H. The lands now contested are all
script lands and it is contended by the
contestants that such entries were ab-
solutely invalid and all the proceed
I ings Hereunder are void. -
The tracts contested include the
original townsites of Berthold, White
Earth and Blaisdell.
Yesterday two more contests were
filed upon land within the old reserva-
ton boundaries.
Other contests are being prepared
and it is likely that every piece of
script within the confines of the old
Fort Berthold reservation will be con-
tested within a short time.
In an interview with Receiver T. E.
Fox of the. local landoffice, it is
learned that the local Office has no
jurisdiction over the matter and will
reject the contests, giving the con
testants the right Of appeal.
| Prominent land attorneys, discuss
ing the matter, are Of the opinion that
there is considerable merit in the con
test.
1t is contended that when the Fort
Berthold reservation was opened il
was the intention of the government
to turn the land over only to actual
homesteaders, and this was all the act
provided.
| IAN amendment was passed, which
gave the settlers the right to commute
at $3.50 per acre.
Again the department did not en-.
force the Jaw to the letter, having re,
duced the price of the communication
to SLIPS.
The contests will be hotly Irrigated
and the outcome will be watched with
intense interest, not only by the par
| ties primarily concerned, but by prac-
tically every homesteader in western
| North Dakota.

quainted with the fact. When you want
