A BRIEF o OF
THE HOMESTEAD LAWS

All men and women over IL years
Of age, widows. deserted wives, and
persons under 81 years who are the
heads of families, and are not the

clared their intention to become
citizens OF the United States are
qualified to make a homestead entry
Not later than six months from
date of entry the homestead claim
ant must establish his residence up
on the land, and after fourteen
months of actual settlement, if he
has resided upon and cultivated the
land for the last eight months,
can commute or pay for the land
at the rate of Sr.25 per acre, when
claimant will receive a patent to
the land from the government. If
claimant does not wish 10 commute
he a reside continuously upon
the land fer FIVE years, and upon
filing proof that he has done so,

son OF failure of crops, sickness Or
any other unavoidable causality is
unable to make a living for himself
and family on his claim, can secure
a leave OF absence not exceeding
one year. When a leave of absence
is granted, the time the settler 10
absent must be made up at the end
OF the five years residence and cul-
~tivation as required by law.

upon I6o acres o! public land is
sI8.Io. The fee for showing the
land to the prospective settler,
surveying it and marking the or.
ners is $40 to SIS. Distance the

hde residence for the full period Of

.KIAH MALONE
MAKES CHARGE
Claims to Know Who Sowed
His Plantbeds With
Grass Seed.
RUMORS OF WARRANTS.
Time Ripe for Some Brave
Man to Take Bold Stand
For Law and Order.

Affairs in Trigg county are rapid
ly reaching a state of lawlessness
amounting almost to anarchy in the
section extending from Gracey to
Ceruean Springs and beyond. Peo-
pie here Monday from that section
said that nearly all Of the plantbeds
have been ruined, the association
members suffering with the rest.
One informant said the beds of Mr..
Nabb and other association leaders,
it is reported, have been sowed with
grass seed. 1t is believed that a
spirit of retaliation has been aroused
and that from now on nobody's to-
bacco bed or barn will be safe. This
is the legitimate outcome of the
lawless spirit that has disgraced
Trigg, Caldwell and Lyon counties
for months.
Now and then a man is heard of
who is not utterly terrorized. Kiah
Malone, one of the men whose beds
were sowed about two weeks ago, is
reported to have appeared at an as
ISOLATION meeting at Mt. Era school
house on the night of March 23rd,
and to have boldly accused one of
the men present of sowing his beds,
and declared that he had tracked
him from the bed to his home. The
man accused got out a warrant last
week for Malone's arrest in Trigg
county, 1t is said that Malone took
steps to get out one also for his
arrest. After talk over the
telephone with parties in Cadiz, it
was decided that Malone's plantbeds
were in Christian county and not in
Trigg. The warrant sworn out for
his arrest has not been served. If
this state of affairs is as represented
the Christian county authorities at
last have case to deal with this
side of the Trigg county line. Mr..
Malone has not yet asked for Chris
tan county warrant. Those who
know him best say that he is a fear
less man and cannot be intimidated
He lives on the county line and it is
a doubtful question which county
has jurisdiction. If he knows who
destroyed his property he can get a
warrant in Christian county, if it
occurred here, and bring about (
much needed investigation of spe-
cies of lawlessness that must be |
stopped in law-abiding communities. |
1t is q penitentiary offense to de-
stroy plantbeds and if Kiah Malone
knows who destroyed his beds, he
owes it to society as we'll as himself |
to prosecute the guilty party.

Leave CAPITOL
Tenth Legislative Assembly
Matter Of fHistory--Anti-Pass
Bill Killed--New Primary
1aw--Reapportlon-
ment Bill Passed.

Bismarck, March 8.-Amid a
scene that was impressive as
well as picturesque the gavel of
Speaker Twitchell fell at the last
motion which it could receive,
that the house do now adjourn
without day, and the Tenth ses-
sion Of the legislative assembly
passed into history. The house
closed it's labors atexactly 11:45
O'Clock and was ready to ad-
journ. The honor of making
this motion had been given to
John Sorley, after the custom
ary committees had waited on
the governor and further com
munications to make.
Over in the senate chamber the
scene was not the less exciting
though marked with the more
dignifed decorum which always
attaches to a smaller delibera-
tive body.
The motion to adjourn was
made in the senate at 11:3O
O'Clock, and the president at
once put the same to vote Of

Presidents S Order
Further Modified
The Proof Order is Modified as
Result Of N. D, Complaints
McCumber Satisfied.

Washington, March Sen
ator McGumber has received a
large number of letters from set
tiers in North Dakota, protest
ing against the presidents order
relating to the acceptance of
homestead proofs. It was de-
clared that the order, even as
modified to exempt five year
homesteaders and purchasers of
Indian lands, was still to restric-
tive. The letters were placed be-
fore the president and after a
consultation with Secretary OF
the Interior Garfield and Land
Commissioner Balling, the presi-
dent decided to modify the sus-
pension order still further, by
providing that local officers
shall issue final receipts and pat
ents shall follow in regular or
der, unless the government can
show fraud. Senator McCum-
Williston graphic. (Williston, Williams County, N.D.) 1895-1919, 1907-03-14

The above article appeared in
the Minneapolis Journal and al
though the land officials here
have not received any notice of
the modification as yet it is to
be presumed that this report is
correct and that the receiver here
will be able, within a short time,
to issue receipts the same as be-
fore the presidents order was
made. If this report is correct
and there is every reason to be-
lieve that it is, homesteaders
wishing to make commuted
proof can do SO without fear of
havingit heldup. The changing
of the order holding up proofs
means much for the develop
ment of this country this season
as it allows the homesteader to
borrow money on his land with
which he can purchase machin-
cry and horses with which to
work his land.

SCHAFER WI MS
COUNTY SEAT
Judge Pollock Rules that Scha-
fer is the County Seat and
Officers Must Move
There Forthwith.

Accordingvto a decision hand
ed down Monday by Judge Pol
lock, of Fargo, the county seat
of Mckenzie county must be re-
moved from Alexander to Schaf-
er forthwith. The court ruled
that the writ of prohibition re-
strain1ng the commissioners
from carrying out their order
that the county seat be moved
to Schafer was not judicial. Ac-
cording to this the commission
ers can 60 ahead and move the
county seat. However, Judge
Palda, attorney for Alexander,
asked for an appeal and this
comes up again Monday. Judge
Pollock held with the attorneys
for the defense, Geo. A. Bangs
and T. S. Becker of this city,
that the case was not one that
could lie appealed, but allowed
Attorney Palda until Monday
next to show if possible that it
could be appealed.

made by Senator Hanna and as.
it was announced the voice of
the presiding officer announced
that the senate stands adjourn
ed without date: The body
had passed into history.
It is too early yet to even ap-
proximately tell the story of the
legislature that hasjust adjourn
ed. In brief, it can be said, how
ever, that compared with for
mer assemblies the tenth makes
good showing. With the ex.
ception of the anti-pass bill, the
measures which have had the
general support of the public
have been passed.
The sharp primary law will
be recognized as the concensus of
the legislative opinion of the pri-
mary law, the passage of which
was by many of the legislators
considered as their chief business
in coming to Bismarck. The
production it really the work of
manv minds for many weeks.
The two cent rate bill was am
mended to a two and a half cent
rate with a thousand mile fam
lily book at $40. This was
adopted promptly by both
houses.
The anti-pass bill was never
reported by the conference COM
mittee and died a natural death.
Half a dozen times during the
evening session members with
passes in their pockets were
given,cold chills by the clerk an
nouncing from the desk that
"the speaker is about to sign
senate bill No. 49," but as some
one would respond "skidoo,"
the pain disappeared.
The conference committee re-
ported the apportionment bill in
both houses and the same was
adopted making the senate con.
sist Of forty-seven members and
the house of ninety-seven. This
bill makes one district out OF
Williams and Mckenzie counties
giving them one senator and
two representatives. The dis
tricts are apportioned as .tol-
