DECIDES RIGHTS
OF SQUATTERS
Actual Continuous Residence Not
Necessary Says Land Office

The officers OF the local land
ONCE rendered decision this after
noon in the case OF James w. sylves-
ter vs.. Carrie McGruder. The land
involved In this case is a quarter Sec
ton situated In section /, township
81 north, range west. The con-
testee, Carrie McGruder. made home
stead entry for the land on August
Z, 1905, and on the same day the
contestant, Sylvester. offered his APP
plication for the land but It was re-
jected by the local ofElcers because
of the priority of the entry of the
contestee. The contestant then in
ltiated a contest against the contes-
tee, alleging that he had made set
Element upon the land on April 4
1906. and that he had improved and
cultivated the same and continuous
ly resided thereon since his settle
ment. From the evidence submitted
at the hearing the local officers hold
that there is no question but that the
contestant had made settlement upon
the land on the date alleged and had
continuously resided on II since his
date OF settlement, but state that the
real reason was whether or not The
contestee had not made settlement
upon the land prior to that OF the
contestant and had made bona flde
residence thereon since the date of
settlement. The evidence showed
that the contestee had settled upon
the land in November 1904. but that
she had been absent from time TO
time from the land. The officers
hold that this absence is satisfaetor-
lily explained In that she had a little
girl to support and that she was de-
pendent for the support OF her child
and her own support on the product
OF her labor. The officers hold the
residence and settlement OF the con-
testee to be bona fide, In good faith

sent from the land a good deal OF

in that II holds that II Is not neces-
sary, as is usually contended and be-
lieved and as former decisions seem
to hold, that under a squatter's right
In order to acquire a superior right
to land as against another claimant.
1t is necessary that a continuous set
Element and residence be maintained
upon the land. and that an absence
therefrom for a sufficient length OF
time to break the continuity OF the
residence and settlement can not be
excused or explained.

ing into a gun held in his face. Con
ductor W. l.. Engle, in charge of car
~ of the Boone avenue line of the
Washington Water Power company,
held his hands in the air while two
young men rifed his pockets of
$29.lO in cash, pay check on the
Spokane & Eastern Trust company
and a gold watch. valued at $35.
The holdup occurred while the car
was travelling between Lindeke and
Chestnut streets on Boone on it's last
trip.
The three young men who did the
job were unmasked, and but one had
a gun. The fellow who brandished
the revolver was not more than Is
years of age, according to Conduct
or Engle, and was so nervous dur
ing the proceedings that he was re-
peatedly reprimanded by one of the
partners.
Hold up that gun, you d
coward" is the remark said to have
been made by the supposed leader of
the party when the gun youth would
weaken and allow the weapon to
waver in his unsteady hand.

There is no question but that
the fruit trees in this country do
not receive the attention they
should and an exchange goes af-
ter the careless growers in this
fashion with a short sermon
syraight from the shoulder.
While craning our necks to

IS or wealth Of red and golden
apples, it is well to consider the
dilapidated, unkept, bushy,
scrubby trees. Orchards in
this country are allowed to 90
wild as far as trimming and
prgning is concerned. It is an
evidence Of shiftlessness, indo-
lence and poor management on
your part to allow fruit trees to
go untrimmed, tops a mass Of
dead boughs or in unkept con-
dition for bearing.
