when I made proof. He said that Har-
ry. Lampe and Floyd Valentine had
taken a claim under the same condi-
lions before.
I told him I had not used my right
and that I would go. We, Valentine,
Lampe and Blount, started for the land
some time in the early part of Novem-
Der, 1903. We went to Bangor, where
Blount and myself filed on land. We

the land. We then went to Bangor
to the courthouse and made the filing.

the land, Couple Of months later we

Lampe n Blount. and myelf went on
this second trip. MIR. Coe T.. Crawford
accompanied us from Huron to the
ranch and aid out expenses and rail-
road fare on this trip.
The improvements of the land I filed
on, consisted Of a shack s by 8 feet,
6. feet high. / do not know who built
the shack.
The next TRIP. | made was in the fall
of 1904. The three young men named
above went with me on this trip, or
rather the three youn men went the
day before l did / was sick and did
not leave until the day following and
when got to Aberdeen. Julian Blount
met me and said there was nothing to
do, and that ! could go back home. I
did not see Mr.. Crawford on this trip.
Mr.. Crawford paid my expenses on
this trip also.
Several months after I fled Julian
Blunt came to my hous and gave me

Of Crawford & Taylor at Huron, to
these tracts, suggesting that he and
single men might like to make settle
ment and proof upon them. . I told
Mr.. Blount that would assist him and
and I would not, under any circum-
stances. agree to buy the land, nor
lease It, nor take the title or posses.
But these young men, excepting the
one still in the employ OF NJ. Craw-
ford at Huron, fatty contradict MI.
Crawford, as the afidavits of two Of
them, printed herewith, and on file with
the land department at Washington,
~conclusively show.
Coe I. Crawford was at the times
referred to in the above quotation in
the practice of law in the city of Hur-
on, a long way removed from his
"homestead claim" in Walworth coun-
ty. He was the high salaried sole state
counsel for the Chicago & Northwest
ern railroad company in 1901, requir-
ed by virtue Of his position to make
Huron his permanent home. He con-
tinued in such employ until April, 1904.
He never ~relinquished to the govern
ment.
He says in one breath: EFT was a
rough tract Of pasture land and in
the same sentence he adds: tsBut at the
time I made the filing / intended, In
good faith, to make settlement upon
and improve it,"
Again, in the same ~ssdefense," he
says regarding the nature Of the land:

form And while he was paying their
expenses in making trips to this land
in the fall of 1904 he was also berat-
ing members of his w party for al

ton of duty.
Do these young men who made the
sworn statement above quoted lie?
Nowhere, either by word Of mouth or
through written documents, has 1t been
alleged thai Thompson and Lampe have
not told the truth. Their af1davits
were published in the Congressional Re
cord in March, 1906, more than two
years ago., and their allegations have
gone as yet unchallenged saw as Mr..
Crawford has sought to create the i'm
preston that the investigation Of his
land transaction was the work Of his
political enemies"

of perjury was elected governor of the
state before the people became aware
of his real Observation-Disclosures they be-

Governor Blanchard, in an inter-
view with the Shreveport Times,
annou nced that he would, some
time in January appoint a travel
ing auditor, as authorized by act
of the extra session Of the Legis-
lature.
But before the Governor makes
the appointment he must solve a
financial problem. The act failed
to make provision for the salary
and expenses of the official, and it
will be necessary for the Cover
nor to make arrangements for
funds to defray expenses and pay
the auditors salary.
Only for this the appointment
probably would have been made
some time ago. The Governor
gave no intimation as to whom he
would appoint, but the friends of
Thos. o. Harris, formerly city
editor of the Times, and now the
Governors private secretary, is
likely to get the plum.
