claim of ]. M. Walcott to $40 acres of land
on which the city of Fort Wayne, Ind, is
situated. The government officials were I'M
able to find anything to disprove Walcott's
claim, which is that the land in question
comes to him through Indian ancestors to
whom it was granted by treaty. The de-
partment wants more time to investigate
the matter, however, but If Walcotts claim
should be sustained, letters patent of the
government for the territory in question will
have to be granted him and the courts will
have to finally dispose of the matter.
