lard and points between.
Scrip Matter Settled.
The difficulty over the townsite
scrip has been adjusted. The scrip
has been approved by the authorities
at Washington. There was no doubt
about the validity Of the scrip. The
difficulty was only in the application
of the Minnesota law regarding pow
err of attorney. The lawyer accepted
the scrip from the administrator OF
the deceased Indian who first held the
property. II was sent back from
Washington because under the law
the power Of attorney must come
from the heirs and not from the adj
ministrator.
The legal technically which devel-
oped excited considerable interest
among the members of the New Mex
ico bar. as II was the first time that
the power of attorney granted by an
administrator of an estate had ever
been questioned. The power Of at
torney was at once secured from the
heirs as required. n the law was
complied with.
