GOVERNMENT LOSES CONTEST
First Desert Contest Instituted By
Government FavOrS Settler.

An important decision was rendered
by the local land office officials last
week In the first contest case instituted
IN this district by the government
against a desert land entry. The de-
cision Is In favor of the entryman, the
government losing the first case. Ma
turally the decision met with general
approval. The ease was heard by
Messrs Hedges and McKoin on August
18th last. Special Agent Foley, who
instituted the contest, appeared for the
government, while David nilger ap-
peared for the claimant, Phoebe M.
Perrine, the land having been assigned
to her by Leon IL. Drake. the entry
man. The land in question is situated
In section 8, tp., IL north of range Is e.,
being on Buffalo creek near Greene.
Two questions were involved In the
contest of the land. First, that the
land was non desert al the time OF en-
try; second, that the required reclama-
ton work had not been done by the
claimant
In part the decision reads as follows:
THE case thus presented Is clear as
10 the first question. IT has been held
that the degree of productiveness after
irrigation does not necessarily deter
mine the right of entry. II the land Is,
In fact, desert, irrigation of tract
while held as Dre-emption claim by
the entryman will not defeat his right
under the desert land act when sub
stantial reclamation remained to be af-
fected after the original entry. With
the case at bar 1t WAS necessary for
Phoebe M. Perrine to acquire water
rights, which she did, by purchase Of
hf. isrlt
ed this so-called Straw ditch which
crossed a portion of this entry to irri-
gate claim Of this land There Is no
valid adverse right to any Of thewat-
ers OF West Buffalo creek Perrines
right seems to be well established and
the quantity adequate, as Witness
Goodspeed testified, (page 45) that he
has an irrigation project on this same
creek. which seems to Indicate a vol
ume Of more than has been previously
acquired"
In regard to the second question. viz.
was the necessary reclamation work
done. the decision Is in the affirmative.
the testimony having shown that
Phoeber Perrine had enlarged the So
called STRAW" ditch. that she had a
good right to the waters of West Buff
falo creek, which were sufficient to ir-
rigate the tract, that much plowing,
etc. had been done and that In their
belief the claimant had acted in good
faith.
A number of other contest cases have
been instituted by the government
against various entries throughout this
county. This case may have some
bearing on other cases which will soon
be brought before Register McKofn
and Receiver Hedges for decision.

When the dreams of life are fled,
When it's wasted lamps are dead,
When in cold oblivios shade,
Beauty, power and fame are laid,
Where immortal spirits reign,
There shall we meet again.

Prophetic phantoms stalked the land, And Mars the awful summons blew. So when the war with terror came The young man felt high duty call Add as volunteer went forth, And for the Union Staked his all. On those dread days may not dwell. Enough to say he bore his part On battlefield, in prison cell,
 With manly mien and valiant heart. And what of her who kept the home Through days of doubt and times of
 fear,
 Who in the silence heard no shout Or martial music on her ear, But listened to beating heart, In awful dread lest he should fall, Struck by secession's s sabre stroke, Or blasted by a rebel ball? Cheerful she bore her cross of care, Supported by her friends so true, Until again o'er Southern fields FlOated the Red, the White, the Blue. Then for time in Stepney still The Penfield school became their care, And many are the men made good By soulful spanks administered there.
