FROM ROY.
"An Interesting Contest"

"The taking of testimony in the big
gest contest case ever held here has
just closed before W. H. Wilcox, U. S.
Court Commissioner, for tract of land
adjoining the townsite of Roy. This
contest was filed by w. A. Brumage VS..
Jacob Floersheim, charging abandon
ment. The contestant was represented
by j. w. Tyler, an Oklahoma attor-
ney, and contestee by M. w. Mills, an
old-timer of New Mexico.
Contestee came to Roye in 1903 and
filed a homestead entry for said tract
of land, working for the Floersheim
Mercantile Company continually ever
since, earning $100 per month.
"He moved his family into what is
known as the Martinez house on the
townsite of Roy, where they have con-
tinuously resided ever since, occasion
ally sleeping on the claim in contro-
versy, in small box house.
'''No other improvements on the
claim except the house, up to date of
contest.
"The entryman claims poverty and
sickness as an excuse for want of COM
pliance with the homestead law, not
withstanding his own testimony shows
that he lived in luxury in rented
house in Roy.
"This is another case in which the
entryman seeks to acquire title to gov
ernment land without the hardships
and privations usually endured by
those who enter land for an immedl,
ate home for themselves and families
to the exclusion of home elsewhere.
"An adverse decision to Mr.. Floer-
sheim would have very beneficial
effect on the country at large, 1t would
actuate those who are making a pre-
tense of residence to go upon their
homesteads and reside there and i'm
prove their claims, to the great bene-
fit of all business, and general improve
ment.
con the other hand, a decision in his
favor would encourage many in their
pretentious residing upon their
claims"

order to influence the land commits

he has combined with Brumage and

homestead. About two weeks prior to

(Mr. Tyler's Signed Statement.)
The above and foregoing article
bearing the signature of Jacob 'Floer-
sheim, is indicative of it's author and
better reflects his character and want
of manhood than could be done by the
best writer.
With no intention of unfairness, nor
even unfriendliness, wrote the above
editorial at the request of the editor.
The thrusts he made at me are SINH
lar to those made by him against the
best men in Roy while on the witness
stand in his own behalf. | am willing
to let the public sentiment determine
this matter, even in Roy, where he has
lived four years and | have been only
a month or two. A man needs no de-
fense against noted liar. l am in the
attitude of the fellow that was kicked
by an ass. l consider the source and
let it go at that. JOHN w. TYLER.
Mr.. Tyler, the gentleman who wrote
the article headed "An Interesting
Contest" is a newcomer to this town;
he came here with clean record and
AN honorable name; with no need Of
boosting him to the front in the esti-
nation of the Roy business men; he
needs no ones assistance, as he is
able to take care of himself, finan-
cially, and during the short time here
he has won the admiration of good
many of our good citizens.
The trouble-maker should stop mo-
ment to consider how he is killing him
self in the social standing of this COM
munity by attacking characters of
more honorable citizens than he ever
will be. A man who will betray per-
son who calls on him with secret busi-
ness matters, depending on his honor
as an official, is low enough to do al
most anything, much less to perjure
himself.
We here give below Mr.. Floer-
sheims evidence as given by him
during the contest against him, so that
you may compare the above article
with this one:
Hearing continued at nine o'clock,
October "a, 1907.
| Jacob Floersheim being duly sworn
and examined by Mr.. Mills testified
as follows:

A. have resided here since Angus,
1903, and the family since the 18th OF

Q. Have you been employed by the

you came to Roy?

HALT BREEDS
NOT ADMITTED
Canadians With Indian Blood in
Veins Cannot Be Naturalized Into
u. S. Citizens.

Clerk Of the court. John B. Ritcl
has just discovered an interesting
Point with reference to our naturali
zation laws 1t is also a point which
will likely affect many people who
might desire to become citizens OF
this country.
A short time since, James Swain, :
Canadian halfbreed Indian. presented
himself at the clerks desk for the pur-
pose of fling his declaration OF in
tention to become a citizen OF this
country Clerk Ritch held TIP the ap-
piication pending some instruc ions
fre m the department of Commerce
fnd Labor
In his letter to the department., MI
Rtch referred to rule Fl of the NAT
uralization regulations under act OF
June %, 1906. which says that the
CLERK must not receive declaration
OF intention to become citizens from
any other than alien white persons or
Africans or descendants of Africans.
In the opinion of the clerk, this shut
out halfbreeds and it was so held in
a letter received from the department
yesterday, which specifically says that
under section 2l6o of the Revised
